Advances in Chemical Physics, Volume 149

The Advances in Chemical Physics series the cutting edge ofresearch in chemical physics

The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemicalphysics field with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluationsof advances in every area of the discipline. Filled withcutting–edge research reported in a cohesive manner not foundelsewhere in the literature, each volume of the Advances inChemical Physics series serves as the perfect supplement to anyadvanced graduate class devoted to the study of chemicalphysics.

This volume explores:
