Quantum Mechanics of the Diatomic Molecule With Applications

Quantum Mechanics of the Diatomic Molecule With Applications Synopsis

Consisting of just two atoms, diatomic molecules include some of our most abundant elements: hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. In this book the authors describe how quantum mechanics can be used to predict diatomic molecule spectra in a gaseous state by discussing the calculation of their spectral line intensities. Summarizing more than 30 years of quantitative analysis of temporally and spatially-resolved experimental records, and introducing insights that are essential in utilizing the inherent symmetries associated with diatomic molecules, this is a valuable reference to any academic engaged in the field of spectroscopy and serves as a comprehensive guide to anyone with a genuine interest in the subject.
