This book provides a detailed presentation of modern quantum theories for treating the reaction dynamics of small molecular systems. Its main focus is on the recent development of successful quantum dynamics theories and computational methods for studying the molecular reactive scattering process, with specific applications given in detail for a number of benchmark chemical reaction systems in the gas phase and the gas surface. In contrast to traditional books on collision in physics focusing on abstract theory for nonreactive scattering, this book deals with both the development and the application of the modern reactive or rearrangement scattering theory, and is written in a fashion in which the development of the reactive scattering theory is closely coupled with its computational aspects for practical applications for realistic molecular reactions. The volume includes such topics as methods for calculating rovibrational states of molecules, fundamental quantum theory for scattering (nonreactive and reactive), modern time-independent computational methods for reactive scattering, general time-dependent wave packet methods for reactive scattering, dynamics theory of chemical reactions, dynamics of molecular fragmentation, semiclassical description of quantum mechanics, and also some useful appendices.
The book is intended for the reader to not only understand the molecular reaction dynamics from the fundamental scattering theory, but also utilize the provided computational methodologies in their practical applications. It should benefit graduate students and researchers in the field of...
Read moreSuch a pleasant surprise! I would I rate this playground a 4.5 if given the option.
The short: a clean little playground inside a clean little recreation area. Two play structures, toddler swings and a tire swing! Nice mix of sun and shade and plenty of benches (and tiered retaining wall) for seating.
We had time to kill while waiting for a relative to be finished at a nearby appointment. So I searched for the closest playground and headed over. I was impressed with the clean and tidy grounds. There are gentle slopes and a winding walkway. The residential area around the playground is very handsome; gives you something to admire in between the 800, "Hey Mom watch this!"
The larger play structure was cool; one of the monkey bar handles was missing, which made it difficult to cross. The smaller structure looked more exciting than it was. The bright colors had my son's immediate attention. But really, it's just a slide. The tire swing was just so fun. I wouldn't leave my little guy on it alone as it's easy for the smaller ones to fall through the middle. Listening to his laughter as he spun in circles was the...
Read moreOK field, bad management. How do you cancel football games because you don't want the field being played on in the rain? Put down artificial turf then or act like you actually played football before. It's a game meant to be played in the elements, just call it a lawn if you're so afraid of it...
