Book Description :

An introduction to one of the fundamental tools in chemicalresearch—spectroscopy and photophysics in condensed-phase andextended systems A great deal of modern research in chemistry and materialsscience involves the interaction of radiation with condensed-phasesystems such as molecules in liquids and solids as well asmolecules in more complex media, molecular aggregates, metals,semiconductors, and composites. Condensed-Phase MolecularSpectroscopy and Photophysics was developed to fill the needfor a textbook that introduces the basics of traditional molecularspectroscopy with a strong emphasis on condensed-phase systems. Italso examines optical processes in extended systems such as metals,semiconductors, and conducting polymers, and addresses the uniqueoptical properties of nanoscale systems. Condensed-Phase Molecular Spectroscopy and Photophysicsbegins with an introduction to quantum mechanics that sets a solidfoundation for understanding the text's subsequent topics,including: Electromagnetic radiation and radiation-matterinteractions Molecular vibrations and infrared spectroscopy Electronic spectroscopy Photophysical processes and light scattering Nonlinear and pump-probe spectroscopies Electron transfer processes Each chapter contains problems ranging from simple to complex,enabling readers to gradually build their skills andproblem-solving abilities. Written for upper-level undergraduateand graduate courses in physical and materials chemistry, this textis uniquely designed to equip readers to solve a broad array ofcurrent problems and challenges in chemistry.
