Applications of Group Theory to Atoms, Molecules, and Solids / [electronic resource]
by Wolfram, Thomas [author.]; Ellialtıoğlu, Şinasi [author.].
Material type:
BookPublisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2013.Description: 1 online resource (481 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).ISBN: 9781139236294 (ebook).Other title: Applications of Group Theory to Atoms, Molecules, & Solids.Subject(s): Molecular structure | Atomic structure | Group theoryOnline resources: Cambridge Books Online Summary: The majority of all knowledge concerning atoms, molecules, and solids has been derived from applications of group theory. Taking a unique, applications-oriented approach, this book gives readers the tools needed to analyze any atomic, molecular, or crystalline solid system. Using a clearly defined, eight-step program, this book helps readers to understand the power of group theory, what information can be obtained from it, and how to obtain it. The book takes in modern topics, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes and isotopic frequencies of molecules, as well as more traditional subjects: the vibrational and electronic states of molecules and solids, crystal field and ligand field theory, transition metal complexes, space groups, time reversal symmetry, and magnetic groups. With over 100 end-of-chapter exercises, this book is invaluable for graduate students and researchers in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering and materials science.
