Beschreibung:
This newly expanded, extensively updated edition provides the most accessible and complete introduction to spectroscopy and dynamics of molecules in condensed phases. It covers practical spectroscopic approaches relevant for rapidly advancing areas such as nanomaterials and interfaces for optoelectronic devices, bioinspired materials for solar energy conversion, and biomedical applications of emissive nanoparticles. New chapters reflect the importance of time-resolved and nonlinear optical spectroscopy. Additional topics include terahertz spectroscopy, single molecule spectroscopy, Fourier-transform techniques, atomic spectroscopy, Stark spectroscopy, and computational approaches.
Introduction and Review. The Nature of Electromagnetic Radiation. Electric and Magnetic Properties of Molecules and Bulk Matter. Time-dependent Perturbation Theory of Spectroscopy.
