Books in the Springer Series in Chemical Physics series

This book is an invaluable guide to calibrating any infrared spectrum using noble gases as a reference.

Anomalies include the floating of ice, the Hofmeister effect in solutions, regelation of ice, slipperiness of ice, water's tough skin, the Mpemba paradox, and the floating bridge.

Using various examples throughout the text, this volume describes the potential of solid base catalysis. Readers will find an overview of solid base catalysis and the versatility of the reactions to which solid base catalysts can be utilized.

This book discusses the basic principles and processes of solar energy conversion in natural photosynthesis. The fundamental photochemical and photophysical processes involved are presented and discussed, along with protection mechanisms and efficiency calculations for both natural and artificial photosynthesis.

This book is devoted to the emerging field of techniques for visualizing atomic-scale properties of active catalysts under actual working conditions, i.e. The book has a strong emphasis on the new techniques and illustrates how the challenges introduced by the harsh, operando conditions are faced for each of these new tools.

This thirteenth volume in the PUILS series covers a broad range of topics from this interdisciplinary research field, focusing on atoms, molecules, and clusters interacting in intense laser field and high-order harmonics generation and their applications.
