Book Description
This book takes a fresh look at the wave function mathematics that provide the theoretical underpinnings of molecular spectroscopy. Original work demonstrating the advantages of algebraic theory over the conventional geometric approach to the subject is presented. This new approach has important implications for modern spectroscopy. Many examples are given to show comparisons of the two methods, and the relationship of the new method to current experiments.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Here, in a thorough and straightforward style, is the full current story of the algebraic method of describing and analyzing molecular rotation-vibration spectra." -- Physics Today
"Iachello and Levine point the way to new technologies with great potential . . . . It is no little feat to have put the material in this book together as a readable account of recent research efforts, and the authors are to be congratulated."--International Journal of Quantum Chemistry"
