Books in the Faraday Discussions series

This Faraday Discussions volume is for chemists, physicists, materials scientists and applied mathematicians who develop new density-functional methods and rely on this approach as a key tool in their research.

Exploring the key challenges in understanding the biological chemistry of metals, this book is of interest to both experimentalists and theoreticians working in this field.

This title focuses on the spectroscopy and dynamics of microparticles, and considers the chemistry of microparticles in a range of environments. Identification of biological microparticles using ultrafast depletion spectroscopy Vibrational exciton coupling in pure and composite sulphur dioxide aerosols

The aim of this meeting was to convene scientists from experimental and theoretical disciplines to discuss a number of highly topical and controversial issues related to wetting and dewetting at hydrophobic surfaces.

This book incorporates aspects of structuring soft-materials at the nanoscale and the incorporation of such materials into actual devices.

This volume concentrates on the measurement, synthesis, assembly and manipulation of molecular wires and nanostructures.

In this volume the topics covered include: Synthesis and functionalisation of silicon nanostructures, Optical and electronic properties: from theory to experiments, Silicon nanostructures for sensing and bioimaging, Silicon nanostructures for energy conversion devices

This book discusses the contemporary techniques and the latest applications in the field of nucleation, growth, inhibition and dissolution of solids.

This volume will focus on the most recent developments in this exciting and rapidly evolving field, assessing what we currently know about nature's most intriguing light management techniques and reviewing strategies for deriving advantages from this knowledge in bio-inspired materials.

This book will include both cooling of molecules from high temperatures and formation of molecules in ultracold atomic gases; molecules in cold ionic gases and in helium droplets will also be covered.

Nanoalloys are proving to be of interest in a number of scientific and technological applications, including: catalysis, fuel cells, magnetics, optics, electronics. This international discussion meeting will cover all aspects of nanoalloys: synthesis, characterisation, theory and simulation, property measurements and technological applications.

Surface scientists and electrochemists discuss the development of both in situ spectroscopic methods in electrochemistry and the study of single crystal electrode surfaces

This book plans to achieve a unification of views towards the goal of understanding the microscopic structure and behaviour of condensed phases of water at interfaces and progressing into the bulk.

Faraday Discussion 151 aims to bring together the diverse range of workers in the field of hydrogen storage materials and will both inform people of alternative strategies and encourage new ideas and approaches.

This volume brings together experimentalists and theoreticians working in all areas of physics and chemistry who have an interest in probing and controlling chemical interactions at the quantum resolved level.

This volume focuses on the synthesis of emerging knowledge of the atmospheric aerosol systems, assessment of the validity and usefulness of existing frameworks, and the development of robust aerosol system descriptions on scales ranging from the interpretation of laboratory data to assessment of global impacts.

The Scientific Committee warmly invites you to take part in this thought-provoking Discussion and looks forward to welcoming you to Leeds.

This Faraday Discussion on Soft Matter Approaches to Structured Food will introduce and strengthen the concept of the soft matter approach to food scientists, and bring food scientists together with non-food experts.

This book presents the papers and recorded discussion of the 160th Faraday Discussion. Organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry, this event took place in Oxford in September 2012.

This book presents the papers and recorded discussion of the 161st Faraday Discussion. Organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry, this event took place in London in September 2012.

In an attempt to address these complex problems all the discussion sessions at this meeting will involve spectroscopy and dynamics, experiment and theory. The Scientific Committee warmly invites you to take part in the Discussion and looks forward to welcoming you in Nottingham.

Aimed at today's experimentalists and theoreticians, chemists, physicists and materials scientists, this book will cross-boundaries and discuss energy-related information.

Covering three key conjugated carbon nanomaterials: carbon nanotubes, fullerenes and graphene which although look very different have much, often unrealised, common ground.
