Imaging in Molecular Dynamics Technology and Applications [Hardcover]

Book on charged particle imaging written by some of the key practitioners in the field.Charged particle imaging has revolutionised experimental studies of photodissociation and bimolecular collisions over the past couple of decades. Highly illustrated with colour figures and written in a tutorial style by some of the key practitioners in the field, this book gives a comprehensive account of the technique and describes many of its recent applications. It will be of primary interest to researchers and graduate students working in chemical and molecular physics who require an overview of the subject as well as ideas for future experiments.Charged particle imaging has revolutionised experimental studies of photodissociation and bimolecular collisions over the past couple of decades.
