Overview

The Advances in Chemical Physics series—the cutting edge of research in chemical physics

The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemical physics and physical chemistry fields with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Filled with cutting-edge research reported in a cohesive manner not found elsewhere in the literature, each volume of the Advances in Chemical Physics series presents contributions from internationally renowned chemists and serves as the perfect supplement to any advanced graduate class devoted to the study of chemical physics.

This volume explores:

  • Multidimensional Incoherent Time-Resolved Spectroscopy and Complex Kinetics (Mark A. Berg)

  • Complex Multiconfigurational Self-Consistent Field-Based Methods to Investigate Electron-Atom/Molecule Scattering Resonances (Kousik Samanta and Danny L. Yeager)

  • Determination of Molecular Orientational Correlations in Disordered Systems from Diffraction Data (Szilvia Pothoczki, László Temleitner, and László Pusztai)

  • Recent Advances in Studying Mechanical Properties of DNA (Reza Vafabakhsh, Kyung Suk Lee, and Taekjip Ha)

  • Viscoelastic Subdiffusion: Generalized Langevin Equation Approach (Igor Goychuk)

  • Efficient and Unbiased Sampling of Biomolecular Systems in the Canonical Ensemble: A Review of Self-Guided Langevin Dynamics (Xiongwu Wu, Ana Damjanovic, and Bernard R. Brooks)

INTRODUCTION

Few of us can any longer keep up with the flood of scientific literature, even in specialized subfields. Any attempt to do more and be broadly educated with respect to a large domain of science has the appearance of tilting at windmills. Yet the synthesis of ideas drawn from different subjects into new, powerful, general concepts is as valuable as ever, and the desire to remain educated persists in all scientists. This series, Advances in Chemical Physics, is devoted to helping the reader obtain general information about a wide variety of topics in chemical physics, a field that we interpret very broadly. Our intent is to have experts present comprenhensive analyses of subjects of interest and to encourage the expression of individual points of view. We hope that this approach to the presentation of an overview of a subject will both stimulate new research and serve as a personalized learning text for beginners in a field.
