Group theory with applications in chemical physics / P.W.M. Jacobs.

Call Number	530.1522
Author	Jacobs, P. W. M. author.
Title	Group theory with applications in chemical physics / P.W.M. Jacobs.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xx, 485 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	The elementary properties of groups -- Symmetry operators and point groups -- Matrix representations -- Group representations -- Bases of representations -- Molecular orbitals -- Crystal field theory -- Double groups -- Molecular vibrations -- Transitions between electronic states -- The rotation group -- Projective representations -- Time-reversal symmetry -- The crystallographic magnetic point groups -- Macroscopic properties of crystals -- Space groups -- Electronic energy states in crystals -- The vibration of atoms in crystals.
Summary	Group Theory is an indispensable mathematical tool in many branches of chemistry and physics. This book provides a self-contained and rigorous account on the fundamentals and applications of the subject to chemical physics, assuming no prior knowledge of group theory. The first half of the book focuses on elementary topics, such as molecular and crystal symmetry, whilst the latter half is more advanced in nature. Discussions on more complex material such as space groups, projective representations, magnetic crystals and spinor bases, often omitted from introductory texts, are expertly dealt with. With the inclusion of numerous exercises and worked examples, this book will appeal to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students studying physical sciences and is an ideal text for use on a two-semester course.
