Auzinsh, Marcis.| Call Number | 539/.6 |

| Title | Optical polarization of molecules / Marcis Auzinsh and Ruvin Ferber. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xv, 306 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Cambridge monographs on atomic, molecular, and chemical physics ; 4 |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Summary | This book explains the theory and methods by which gas molecules can be polarized by light, a subject of considerable importance for what it tells us about the electronic structure of molecules and properties of chemical reactions. Starting with a brief review of molecular angular momentum, the text goes on to consider resonant absorption, fluorescence, photodissociation and photoionization, as well as collisions and static fields. A variety of macroscopic effects are considered, among them angular distribution and the polarization of emitted light, ground state depopulation, laser-induced dichroism, the effect of collisions and external magnetic and electric field effects. Most examples in the book are for diatomic molecules, but symmetric-top polyatomic molecules are also included. The book concludes with a short appendix of essential formulae, tables for vector calculus, spherical functions, Wigner rotation matrices, Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, and methods for expansion over irreducible tensors. |
