Abstract:
"Atomic and Molecular Beams" reviews the state of the art in this field both theoretically and experimentally, while simultaneously investigating the many possible applications. The topics covered include among others: - laser cooling and manipulation of atoms and molecules - alignment, relaxation and condensation in supersonic jets - spectroscopy, state imaging and photodissociation in molecular beams - elementary molecular collisions and reaction dynamics production and properties of clusters and nanoparticles - beam interactions with surfaces. With many contributions from leading researchers, including several Nobel Prize laureates, this volume will serve as a long-lasting source of reference on all aspects of fundamental research into or using atomic and molecular beams.
