Advances in Chemical Physics, Volume 149 Advances in Chemical Physics Series

The Advances in Chemical Physics series—the cutting edge of research in chemical physics

The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemical physics field with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Filled with cutting-edge research reported in a cohesive manner not found elsewhere in the literature, each volume of the Advances in Chemical Physics series serves as the perfect supplement to any advanced graduate class devoted to the study of chemical physics.

This volume explores:

• Quantum Dynamical Resonances in Chemical Reactions: From A + BC to Polyatomic Systems (Kopin Liu)

• The Multiscale Coarse-Graining Method (Lanyuan Lu and Gregory A. Voth)

• Molecular Solvation Dynamics from Inelastic X-ray Scattering Measurements (R.H. Coridan and G.C.L. Wong)

• Polymers Under Confinement (M. Muthukumar)

• Computational Studies of the Properties of DNA-linked Nanomaterials (One-Sun Lee and George C. Schatz)

• Nanopores: Single-Molecule Sensors of Nucleic Acid Based Complexes (Amit Meller)
