Produktinformationen zu „Intermolecular Interactions (PDF)“
The subject of this book -- intermolecular interactions
-- is as important in physics as in chemistry and molecular
biology. Intermolecular interactions are responsible for the
existence of liquids and solids in nature. They determine the
physical and chemical properties of gases, liquids, and crystals,
the stability of chemical complexes and biological compounds.
In the first two chapters of this book, the detailed qualitative
description of different types of intermolecular forces at large,
intermediate and short-range distances is presented. For the first
time in the monographic literature, the temperature dependence of
the dispersion forces is discussed, and it is shown that at finite
temperatures the famous Casimir-Polder asymptotic formula is
correct only at narrow distance range. The author has aimed to make
the presentation understandable to a broad scope of readers without
oversimplification. In Chapter 3, the methods of quantitative
calculation of the intermolecular interactions are discussed and
modern achievements are presented. This chapter should be helpful
for scientists performing computer calculations of many-electron
systems.
The last two chapters are devoted to the many-body effects and
model potentials. More than 50 model potentials exploited for
processing experimental data and computer simulation in different
fields of physics, chemistry and molecular biology are represented.
The widely used global optimisation methods: simulated annealing,
diffusion equation method, basin-hopping algorithm, and genetic
algorithm are described in detail.
Significant efforts have been made to present the book in a
self-sufficient way for readers. All the necessary mathematical
apparatus, including vector and tensor calculus and the elements of
the group theory, as well as the main methods used for quantal
calculation of many-electron systems are presented in the
appendices.
