Levine., Cambridge University Press, 2005. Molecular Reaction Dynamics is the study of chemical and physical transformations of matter at the molecular level, The first half of the book describes experimental techniques for initiating and probing reaction dynamics and the essential insights gained. The second part explores key areas including photoselective chemistry, stereochemistry, chemical reactions in real time, and chemical reaction dynamics in solutions and interfaces. Typical of the new challenges are molecular machines, enzyme action, and molecular control.With problem sets included, this book is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying chemical reaction dynamics, as well as physical chemistry, biophysics, and materials science. O641.12/Z63, Theory and application of quantum molecular dynamics, John Zeng Hui Zhang., World Scientific, 1999. 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. 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 1 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 chemical physics. 理论和计算化学 O641.12/F962, Electron correlations in molecules and solids, Peter Fulde., Springer-Verlag , 1995. Electron Correlations in Molecules and Solids bridges the gap between quantum chemistry and solid-state theory. In the first half of the text new concepts are developed for treating many-body and correlation effects, combining standard quantum chemical methods with projection techniques, Greens-function methods and Monte-Carlo techniques. The second half deals with applications of the theory to molecules, semiconductors, transition metals, heavy-fermion systems, and the new high-Tc superconducting materials. O641/W423, Valency and bonding, A Natural Bond Orbital Donor-Acceptor Perspective Frank Weinhold, Clark R. Landis., Cambridge University Press, 2005. This graduate level text presents the first comprehensive overview of modern chemical valency and bonding theory, written by internationally recognised experts in the field. The authors build on the foundation of Lewis- and Pauling-like localized structural and hybridization concepts to present a book that is directly based on current ab-initio computational technology. The presentation is highly visual and intuitive throughout, based on the recognizable and transferable graphical forms of natural bond orbitals (NBOs) and their spatial overlaps in the molecular environment. The book shows applications to a broad range of molecular and supramolecular species of organic, inorganic and bioorganic interest. Hundreds of orbital illustrations help to convey the essence of modern NBO concepts for those with no extensive background in the mathematical machinery of the Schrödinger equation. This book will appeal to those studying chemical bonding in relation to chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry and physics. O64-532/I61/1996, Electronic density functional theory, John F. Dobson, Giovanni Vignale, Mukunda P. Das., 2 Plenum Press , 1998. Density functional theory is an approach to predicting the behavior of many interacting particles, and a major application is in the study of many-electron systems. The 26 lectures draw from computational chemistry, condensed matter physics, and other realms to report recent developments. After introductory material, they consider groundstate energy functionals; excited state, time-dependent theories, and the Van der Waals interaction; and special systems. Among specific topics are the exchange-correlation hole, adiabatic coupling in the helium and beryllium series, hydrodynamics in the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-von- Weizscker approximations, and the airy gas as an edge electronic structure. Four additional poster papers are represented by abstracts on such topics as "ab initio" calculations of magnetic interactions in magnetic metal alloys via the LSDF approach, and quantitative electron momentum spectroscopy of solids. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. 热力学 O641/B393, The potential distribution theorem and models of molecular solutions, Thomas L. Beck, Michael E. Paulaitis, Lawrence R. Pratt., Cambridge University Press , 2006. An understanding of statistical thermodynamic molecular theory is fundamental to the appreciation of molecular solutions. This complex subject has been simplified by the authors with down-to-earth presentations of molecular theory. Using the potential distribution theorem (PDT) as the basis, the text provides an up-to-date discussion of practical theories in conjunction with simulation results. The authors discuss the field in a concise and simple manner, illustrating the text with useful models of solution thermodynamics and numerous exercises. Modern quasi-chemical theories that permit statistical thermodynamic properties to be studied on the basis of electronic structure calculations are given extended development, as is the testing of those theoretical results with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The book is intended for students taking up research problems of molecular science in chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, nanotechnology and biotechnology. O642.1/S875, Chemical thermodynamics of materials, Svein Stølen, Tor Grande, J. Wiley , 2004. Chemical Thermodynamics of Materials is a comprehensive introduction, examining both macroscopic and microscopic aspects of the subject. Aimed at students and researchers in Materials Science, Solid State Chemistry and Physics and Mineralogy, the book applies the theory of thermodynamics to a broad range of materials; from metals, ceramics and other inorganic 3 materials to geological materials. Focusing on materials rather than the underlying mathematical concepts of the subject, this book will be ideal for the non-specialist requiring an introduction to the energetics and stability of materials. Macroscopic thermodynamic properties are linked to the underlying miscroscopic nature of the materials and trends in important properties are discussed. The later chapters discuss the main experimental and theoretical methods for deriving thermodynamic properties of materials with emphasis placed on methodology. O642/S646, Basic chemical thermodynamics, E. Brian Smith. , Clarendon Press , 1977. This widely acclaimed text presents a clear, simple and concise introduction to chemical thermodynamics. An examination of equilibrium in the everyday world of mechanical objects provides the starting point for an accessible account of the factors that determine equilibrium in chemical systems. This straightforward approach leads students to a thorough understanding of the basic principles of thermodynamics, which are then applied to a wide range of physico-chemical systems. The book also discusses the problems of non-ideal solutions and the concept of activity, and provides an introduction to the molecular basis of thermodynamics. 结构化学 O645/B469, Molecular theory of solutions, Arieh Ben-Naim., Oxford University Press , 2006. This book presents new and updated developments in the molecular theory of mixtures and solutions. It is based on the theory of Kirkwood and Buff which was published more than fifty years ago. This theory has been dormant for almost two decades. It has recently become a very powerful and general tool to analyze, study and understand any type of mixtures from the molecular, or the microscopic point of view. The traditional approach to mixture has been, for many years, based on the study of excess thermodynamic quantities. This provides a kind of global information on the system. The new approach provides information on the local properties of the same system. Thus, the new approach supplements and enriches our information on mixtures and solutions. O645/S617, Single molecule detection in solution, Ch. Zander, J. Enderlein, R.A. Keller, 4 Wiley-VCH , 2002. The detection of single molecules opens up new horizons in analytical chemistry, biology and medicine. This discipline, which belongs to the expanding field of nanoscience, has been rapidly emerging over the last ten years. This handbook provides a thorough overview of the field. It begins with basics of single molecule detection in solution, describes methods and devices (fluorescense correlation spectroscopy, surface enhanced Raman scattering, sensors, especially dyes, screening techniques, especially confocal laser scanning microscopy). In the second part, various applications in life sciences and medicine provide the latest research results. This modern handbook is a highly accessible reference for a broad community from advanced researchers, specialists and company professionals in physics, spectroscopy, biotechnology, analytical chemistry, and medicine. Written by leading authorities in the field, it is timely and fills a gap - up to now there exists no handbook concerning this theme. O647.11/P965 , Properties of single organic molecules on crystal surfaces, Peter Grutter, Werner Hofer, Federico Rosei., Imperial College Press, 2006. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the study of the complex interactions of single organic molecules on surfaces. The book begins with a number of introductory chapters on surfaces, imaging techniques, and theory that lay the groundwork for understanding the later sections on molecular surface interactions and applications. Its strength is in the sections that deal with the issue at its heart: scanning tunneling microscopy/ spectroscopy (STM) of organic molecules on metallic and semiconductor surfaces. The bulk of the book is focused on this issue, and the initial introductory material provides a good basis for understanding the more complex issues of later chapters. 胶体与界面化学 O647/B988, Physics and chemistry of interfaces, Hans-Jürgen, Karlheinz Graf, Michael Kappl., Wiley-VCH, 2003. Serving as a general introduction to surface and interface science, this book focuses on essential concepts rather than specific details, on intuitive understanding rather than learning facts. The text reflects the 5 fact that the physics and chemistry of surfaces is a diverse field of research and shows this in its Interdisciplinary conceptual design. Once the most important techniques and methods have been introduced, readers will be able to apply simple models to their own scientific problems. Furthermore, manifold high-end technological applications from surface technology, biotechnology, or microelectronics illustrate the basic scientific treatment. The authors address advanced students of chemistry, physics, materials science, chemical engineering and related subjects with a basic knowledge of natural sciences and mathematics, since the mathematical calculations are thoroughly explained and made comprehensible for the reader. As such, non-specialists in surface science who want to learn more about this important subject will also benefit from the book. O647.3/C746, Surface area and porosity determinations by physisorption, James B. Condon. , Elsevier , 2006. Surface Area and Porosity Determinations by Physisorption is a practical guide for industry or academics to the measurement of surface area and pore size using the tool of physical adsorption. Starting with a brief description of what physical adsorption is and the raw data that is obtained. The instrumentation for measuring this isotherm is described in some details. Recommendations are presented as to what instrumentation would be most appropriate for a particular application. An appendix of current commercial instruments is included. O648.1/T136, Disperse systems, Makoto Takeo. , Wiley-VCH , 1999. Interesting applications for disperse systems exist in many areas of modern technology. Weight and cost savings achieved in engineered foams for complex designs and computer-modeled optical pigments for creating astounding effects in coating are but two examples of such diverse applications. In addition to the cost and material reductions already achieved in existing applications, future applications of disperse systems are ripe with many heretofore-undeveloped products possessing unprecedented properties. A thorough understanding of the relationship between microscopic composition and the measurable macroscopic behaviour of disperse systems is necessary for technologists to exploit the unique properties of these systems. With such an understanding, the reader will be equipped to develop new products efficiently and to effectively achieve required material properties. 6 其它 O643.2/L415, Combustion physics, Chung K. Law.,Cambridge University Press , 2006. In the past several decades, combustion has evolved from a scientific discipline that was largely empirical to one that is quantitative and predictive. These advances are characterized by the canonical formulation of the theoretical foundation; the strong interplay between theory, experiment, and computation; and the unified description of the roles of fluid mechanics and chemical kinetics. This graduate-level text incorporates these advances in a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental principles of combustion physics. The presentation emphasizes analytical proficiency and physical insight, with the former achieved through complete, though abbreviated, derivations at different levels of rigor, and the latter through physical interpretations of analytical solutions, experimental observations, and computational simulations. Exercises are mostly derivation in nature in order to further strengthen the student’s mastery of the theory. Implications of the fundamental knowledge gained herein on practical phenomena are discussed whenever appropriate. These distinguishing features provide a solid foundation for an academic program in combustion science and engineering. O646.1/P578, The physics and technology of ion sources, Ian G. Brown., Wiley-VCH, 2004. The book contains full chapters on the plasma physics of ion sources, ion beam formation, beam transport, computer modeling, and treats many different specific kinds of ion sources in sufficient detail to serve as a valuable reference text. O646.9-532, Plasma processes and polymers, Riccardo d'Agostino, Wiley-VCH , 2005. This volume compiles essential contributions to the most innovative fields of Plasma Processes and Polymers. High-quality contributions cover the fields of plasma deposition, plasma treatment of polymers and other organic compounds, plasma processes under partial vacuum and at atmospheric pressure, biomedical, textile, automotive, and optical applications as well as surface treatment of bulk materials, clusters, particles and powders. 7
