Molecular Dynamics and Theory of Broad Band Spectroscopy

An interdisciplinary approach to the theoretical techniques used to study molecular interactions in the liquid and condensed states of matter. Demonstrates how current methods may be used to interpret experimental data from infra-red spectroscopy, depolarized light scattering, neutron scattering, and molecular dynamics simulations. Integrates analytical theory, broad band spectroscopies, and computer simulations. Presents detailed discussion on the theory of Brownian diffusion and molecular diffusion. Emphasized multi-technique spectroscopy, including zero-T Hz spectroscopy, a technique developed by the authors. Offers a plan for inter-laboratory cooperation designed to simultaneously investigate representative molecular liquids. Develops the quantum theory of new electrooptical methods for studying molecular motion.
