Non-adiabatic effects in chemical dynamics, (Faraday discussions, N°127)

This volume focuses on recent developments in the field of electronically non-adiabatic transitions which are central to a wide variety of rate processes, ranging from charge transfer collisions in the upper atmosphere and interstellar material to organic photochemistry. Work is presented in the following areas: photochemical dynamics, fine structure and charge transfer processes, surface hopping, observable consequences of geometric phase, dissociative attachment, non-adiabatic processes in biology, and application to cold atom collisions. Faraday Discussions documents a long-established series of Faraday Discussion meetings which provide a unique international forum for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The papers presented are published in the Faraday Discussion volume together with a record of the discussion contributions made at the meeting. Faraday Discussions therefore provide an important record of current international knowledge and views in the field concerned.
