Synopsis

Providing a unified description of different transfer phenomena in molecular systems, this volume serves as an introduction for graduate students and researchers. The authors manage to bridge the regimes of coherent and dissipative dynamics and thus establish the connection between classic rate theories and modem treatments of ultrafast phenomena. Starting from microscopic models, the common features of the different transfer processes are highlighted. The applications range from vibrational energy flow in large polyatomics, the motion of protons in solution, up to the concerted dynamics of electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom in molecules and molecular aggregates.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This second edition is based on the successful concept of the first edition in presenting a unified perspective on molecular charge and energy transfer processes. The authors bridge the regimes of coherent and dissipative dynamics, thus establishing the connection between classic rate theories and modern treatments of ultrafast phenomena. The book serves as an introduction for graduate students and researchers.

Among the new topics of this second edition are
– semiclassical and quantum–classical hybrid formulations of molecular dynamics
– the basics of femtosecond nonlinear spectroscopy
– electron transfer through molecular bridges and proteins
– multidimensional tunneling in proton transfer reactions
– two–exciton states and exciton annihilation in biological and nonbiological chromophore complexes

More illustrating examples as well as an enlarged reference list are added. A new chapter gives an introduction into the theory of laser pulse control of molecular transfer processes.

Revue de presse

"... a very good up–to–date survey of modern theoretical methods for describing the molecular dynamics of physical, chemical, and biochemical elementary processes, both in the gas phase and in solution." (Angewandte Chemie – International Edition)

"It can be recommended unreservedly for scientists engaged in research in this field." (Angewandte Chemie – International Edition)

"... essential reading for theoreticians, and also valuable to experimentalists, as an aid to interpreting experimental data and as a way into the original literature..." (Angewandte Chemie – International Edition)
