Molecular Collisions and Gaseous Kinetics

＂The dynamics of molecular interactions is a foundational subject in physical chemistry and chemical kinetics, and provides rates of energy and charge transfer and of chemical reactions, as needed in numerous applications. It requires concepts of quantum and statistical mechanics and related computational methods. Different molecular structures and initial reaction conditions affect energy transfer and reaction rates, and their interaction dynamics gives information about a reaction mechanism and its transition states during a reaction＂-- Provided by publisher.

David A. Micha is a Professor of Chemistry and Physics at the University of Florida. His many research interests include intermolecular forces, collisional energy transfer, electron transfer, photoinduced dynamics, reactions in gas phase collisions, energy and electron transfer, and photodynamics at solid surfaces. Dr. Micha has also been co-organizer of the ＂Sanibel Symposium on Theory and Computation for the Molecular and Materials Sciences＂ at the University of Florida since 1985. He is a co-editor of several science books, and author of numerous science publications. He has been the organizer of several Pan-American Workshops on Molecular and Materials Sciences.
