This note explains the
following topics:The Interaction between two Molecules, Interaction of
Macroscopic Bodies, The Effective Interaction between two Molecules,
Electrostatic Forces.
Recent evolutions in nanosciences and
nanotechnologies provide strong arguments to support the opportunity and
importance of the topics approached in this book, the fundamental and
applicative aspects related to molecular interactions being of large interest in
both research and innovative environments. We expect this book to have a strong
impact at various education and research training levels, for young and
experienced researchers from both academia and industry.
These
lecture notes have been prepared to give an introduction into the foundations of
atomic and molecular physics with an emphasis on the interaction of these atomic systems
with light, and in more general, with electromagnetic fields. Topics covered
includes: Wave-corpuscular duality of photons and massive particles, Angular
momentum in quantum mechanics, Atomic spectra, simple models of atoms, Spin and
the fine structure, Many-body problems, systems of identical particles,
Molecular structure and spectra, Bose Einstein Condensation, Elements of
coherent atom field interactions, Atoms in Strong Fields, Photons, A quantum
paradox and the experiments.
This lecture note explores a wide range of techniques and applications in
molecular modeling and computational chemistry. Topics covered includes: ab
Initio and Semi-Empirical Quantum Mechanics, Molecular Mechanics and Dynamics
Simulation, Electrostatics, Coarse Graining Biomolecular Structure Prediction,
Advanced Electrostatics for Force Fields, Molecular Dynamics Simulation, Monte
Carlo Methods.
This book was designed primarily for advanced-undergraduate and
first-year graduate students as an introduction to molecular orbital theory.
Topics covered includes: Atomic Orbitals, Diatomic Molecules, Electronic States
of Molecules, Hybridization, Band Intensities, Triatomic Molecules, Selected
Molecules with Four or More Atoms and Molecular Orbitals Involving d Valence
Orbitals.
This book is an introduction to molecular electronic structural
theory. It is aimed at students who have reasonable familiarity with
differential and integral calculus and are beginning a study of the physical
description of chemical systems.
