Quantum Mechanical Foundations of Molecular Spectroscopy

[b]A concise textbook bridging quantum theory and spectroscopy![/b] Designed as a practical text, [i]Quantum Mechanical Foundations of Molecular Spectroscopy[/i] covers the quantum mechanical fundamentals of molecular spectroscopy from the view of a professional spectroscopist, rather than a theoretician. Written by a noted expert on the topic, the book puts the emphasis on the relationship between spectroscopy and quantum mechanics, and provides the background information and derivations of the subjects needed to understand spectroscopy including: stationary energy states, transitions between these states, selection rules, and symmetry. The phenomenal growth of all forms…
