Advances in Chemical Physics

The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemical physics field with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline.

. This is the only series of volumes available that presents the cutting edge of research in chemical physics
. Includes 10 contributions from leading experts in this field of research
. Contains a representative cross-section of research in chemical reaction dynamics and state of the art quantum description of intramolecular and intermolecular dynamics
. Structured with an editorial framework that makes the book an excellent supplement to an advanced graduate class in physical chemistry, chemical physics, or molecular physics
