Walter Kohn, 1998 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry and discoverer of the Density Functional Theory (DFT), died in 2016 at the grand age of 93. This book is the first ever biography of Kohn, who led a rema …

Chemical modelling covers a wide range of disciplines, and this book is the first stop for any chemist, materials scientist, biochemist, or molecular physicist wishing to acquaint themselves with maj …

Hydrogen has a lot of promise as an alternative to various carbon containing fuels as burning it releases only water which does not contribute to climate change. However, the standard method of produ …

The addition of graphene to metal oxides creates a hybrid material with enhanced physicochemical properties, of interest in a range of applications and technologies. For example, graphene combined wi …

‘High-order harmonics emerging from the interaction of strong laser fields with solid matter constitute a novel, highly sensitive tool for interrogating electronic structure and dynamics in solids. A …

Transition metal complexes as catalysts play an indispensable role in transformation of chemical substances to value-added products using less energy-consuming processes and with high selectivity and …

This book is a sequel of The Physics of Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (1997), which covered the basic physics of QWIPs. In the intervening 27 years, QWIP properties pertinent to infrared detec …

Heterogeneous catalysis has developed over the past two centuries as a technology driven by the needs of society, and is part of Nobel Prize-winning science. This book describes the spectacular incre …

Carotenoids are indispensable molecules for life. They are present everywhere in plants, algae and bacteria, whom they protect against free radicals and oxidative stress. Through consumption of fruit …

Completely revised and updated for a second edition, this reference guide is an essential summary of the key concepts in physical chemistry that are likely to be encountered by undergraduate chemistr …
