Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Chemistry
English | 1 Jan. 2007 | ISBN: 0195140869 | 546 Pages | PDF | 2.04 MB
This book introduces relativistic methods in quantum chemistry to non-experts and students. Its five sections cover classically relativity background; the Dirac question; four component methods, including symmetry, correlation, and properties; approximate methods, including perturbation theory, transformed Hamiltonians, regular approximations, matrix approximations, and pseudopotential methods; and an overview of relativistic effects on bonding.

The Quantum in Chemistry: An Experimentalist's View
English | 7 Oct. 2005 | ISBN: 0470013176 | 474 Pages | PDF | 2.93 MB
This book explores the way in which quantum theory has become central to our understanding of the behaviour of atoms and molecules. It looks at the way in which this underlies so many of the experimental measurements we make, how we interpret those experiments and the language which we use to describe our results. It attempts to provide an account of the quantum theory and some of its applications to chemistry.
This book is for researchers working on experimental aspects of chemistry and the allied sciences at all levels, from advanced undergraduates to experienced research project leaders, wishing to improve, by self-study or in small research-orientated groups, their understanding of the ways in which quantum mechanics can be applied to their problems. The book also aims to provide useful background material for teachers of quantum mechanics courses and their students.

Color Atlas of Biochemistry
English | 6 Oct. 2004 | ISBN: 3131003723 | 480 Pages | PDF | 13.66 MB
Totally revised and expanded, the Color Atlas of Biochemistry presents the fundamentals of human and mammalian biochemistry on 215 stunning color plates. Alongside a short introduction to chemistry and the "classical topics" of biochemistry, the 2nd edition covers new approaches and aspects in biochemistry, such as links between chemical structure and biological function or pathways for information transfer, as well as recent developments and discoveries, such as the structures of many new important molecules. Key features of this title include: - The unique combination of highly effective color graphics and comprehensive figure legends; - Unified color-coding of atoms, coenzymes, chemical classes, and cell organelles that allows quick recognition of all involved systems; - Computer graphics provide simulated 3D representation of many important molecules. This Flexibook is ideal for students of medicine and biochemistry and a valuable source of reference for practitioners.

From Glass to Crystal : Nucleation, Growth and Phase Separation, From Research to Applications
English | 2017 | ISBN: 2759817830 | 663 Pages | PDF | 16 MB
Glass-ceramics are now commonplace in our daily lives, despite having only been discovered for less than a century. Much still remains to be investigated and understood about these materials, both in their applications as well as in the underlying scientific concepts. This book aims to contribute to this objective, providing a complete overview on these materials. It presents an update on the recent developments concerning the mechanisms of nucleation, crystal growth and phase separation, bringing together theoretical aspects and characterization methods. It also covers current and future applications of a large variety of glass-ceramics.The book comprises three main parts. The first proposes an assessment of the various theories on nucleation, growth and phase separation in glassy systems. The second describes microscopic and spectroscopic analytical tools and focuses on recent advances applied to the characterization of glass-ceramics. The last part presents different families of glass-ceramics (oxides, oxyfluorides, chalcogenides) and their applications in many areas (optics, biomedical, domestic, artistic, storage of hazardous wastes).

This reference book is destined to students (Master, PhD levels), lecturers, researchers, engineers, at university or in industry, or just those of us who are curious and keen to discover the exciting world of transformation of glass into these "hybrid" glass-ceramic materials, arising through this apparently simple glass to crystal transformation.

Lives and Times of Great Pioneers in Chemistry (Lavoisier to Sanger)
English | November 25th, 2015 | ASIN: B018HMW5X2, ISBN: 9814689920, 981468905X | 322 Pages | EPUB | 6.25 MB
Chemical science has made major advances in the last few decades and has gradually transformed in to a highly multidisciplinary subject that is exciting academically and at the same time beneficial to human kind. In this context, we owe much to the foundations laid by great pioneers of chemistry who contributed new knowledge and created new directions. This book presents the lives and times of 21 great chemists starting from Lavoisier (18th century) and ending with Sanger.Then, there are stories of the great Faraday (19th century) and of the 20th century geniuses G N Lewis and Linus Pauling. The material in the book is presented in the form of stories describing important aspects of the lives of these great personalities, besides highlighting their contributions to chemistry. It is hoped that the book will provide enjoyable reading and also inspiration to those who wish to understand the secret of the creativity of these great chemists.
