Khriachtchev L. (Ed.) Physics and Chemistry at Low Temperatures

Pan Stanford Publishing, 2011. - 525 p. - Tunneling reactions in chemistry are characterized by the low-temperature limit when the classical contribution is negligible. Many practical applications benefit from the lack of heat and have a deep physical basis. Interesting advantages of chemical synthesis at low temperatures have also been demonstrated. This book covers fundamental and practical aspects of the processes and experimental and theoretical methods used in the field. The chapters are written by leading scientists who have very strong experience in the selected topics, and many practical recommendations can be found in this book.Photoexcitation of Free Radicals and Molecular Ions Trapped in Rare-Gas Solids
