This is the second volume of an advanced handbook on experimental molecular beam methods, in which seventeen specialists cover the areas of molecular beam spectroscopy and surface scattering. It is designed to be used both as a reference book in the laboratory and as a supplementary text for graduate courses in spectroscopy and gas-surface interactions. The text is split into two parts dealing with these two topics. The spectroscopy part introduces the special features connected with using beams in spectroscopy and then goes on to discuss the subject, going through the spectrum from low to high frequencies. The surface scattering part introduces general instrumentation problems, followed by a series of chapters in which elastic, rotationally inelastic, single-phonon, multi-phonon and chemical scattering are discussed. Scattering from non-ordered surfaces is covered separately. The emphasis throughout is on experimental methods, which includes discussions on data analysis and calibrations. Numerous examples of data are shown and to allow for the understanding of these the theory underlying the most common measurements is also presented.

This comprehensive handbook describes new experimental approaches for the growing number of chemists, physicists, and engineers working with atomic and molecular beams. With an emphasis on aspects of design, construction and proper data analysis, contributors explore many topics of microscopic chemical physics such as elastic, inelastic, and reactive molecular collisions, clusters, and free-standing jets. Also included are descriptions of experimental set-ups and examples of data obtained in molecular beam experiments, with clear explanations of their significance and importance. The book is a practical guide that will help in planning the structure of experiments and analysing their results.

The accurate interpretation of infrared spectra of organic structures is an extremely important tool for the analytical chemist. Using up-to-date source material, this volume presents a compilation of the infrared absorption regions of ninety of the most important organic molecular fragments. This highly practical guide introduces the reader to a straightforward technique for determining all the fundamental vibrations of a molecular fragment. The set of normal vibrations and the infrared absorption regions of ninety molecular fragments are then discussed and tabulated. The discussion of each fragment is accompanied by a large number of references. A Guide to the Complete Interpretation of Infrared Spectra of Organic Structures offers the analytical chemist the possibility of a more profound interpretation of infrared spectra. In addition, it assumes only a basic knowledge of infrared spectra, and so will prove very useful for non-specialists who use infrared spectroscopy in analysis.
