Advances in chemical physics. Volume 163

Description

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 Content: Applications of quantum statistical methods to the treatment of collisions -- Quantum dynamics in photodetachment of polyatomic anions -- Recent advances in quantum dynamics studies of gas-surface reactions -- Quantum scattering and semiclassical transition state theory calculations on chemical reactions of polyatomic molecules in reduced dimensions -- Adiabatic switching applied to the vibrations of syn-CH₃CHOO and implications for "Zero-Point Leak" and Isomerization in Quasiclassical Trajectory Calculations -- Inelastic charge-transfer dynamics in donor-bridge-acceptor systems using optimal modes -- Coupled translation-rotation dynamics of H₂ and H₂0 inside C₆₀: rigorous quantum treatment -- Using iterative eigensolvers to compute vibrational spectra -- Large scale exact quantum dynamics calculations: using phase space to truncate the basis effectively -- Phase-space versus coordinate-space methods: prognosis for large quantum calculations.
