London Dispersion Forces in Molecules, Solids and Nano-structures: An Introduction to Physical Models and Computational Methods (Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Series, Volume 16)

Summarising current understanding of the physical origin and modelling of London dispersion forces manifested at an atomic level, this book provides theoretical, physical and synthetic chemists, as well as solid-state physicists, with a systematic understanding of the origins and consequences of these ubiquitous interactions. It covers a wide range of system, from small intermolecular complexes, to organic molecules and crystalline solids, through to biological macromolecules and nanostructures.
