DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/88823b/charge_and_energy) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Charge and Energy Transfer Dynamics in Molecular Systems, 3rd, Revised and Enlarged Edition" to their offering.
This 3rd edition has been expanded and updated to account for recent developments, with new illustrative examples as well as an enlarged reference list also added. It retains the successful concept of previous editions, in presenting a unified perspective on molecular charge and energy transfer processes, thus bridging the regimes of coherent and dissipative dynamics, and establishing a connection between classic rate theories and modern treatments of ultrafast phenomena.
Very good reviews and sales figures as well as unabatedly rapid development in this area of research ensure the success of this third edition. Relevant developments of the past three years can only be integrated into a new edition. There hardly is a direct competitor on the market.
Among the New Topics are:
- Time-dependent density functional theory
- Heterogeneous electron transfer, e.g. between molecules and metal or semiconductor surfaces
- Current flows through a single molecule.
Who Should Read This:
While serving as an introduction for graduate students and researchers, this is equally a must-have text for theoreticians and experimentalists, as well as an aid to interpreting experimental data and accessing original literature.
Key Topics Covered:
- Electronic and Vibrational Molecular States
- Dynamics of Isolated and Open Quantum Systems
- Interaction of Molecular Systems with Radiation Fields
- Vibrational Dynamics: Energy Redistribution, Relaxation, and Dephasing
- Intramolecular Electronic Transitions
- Electron Transfer
- Proton Transfer
- Excitation Energy Transfer
