OverviewTime-dependent spectroscopic techniques continue to push the frontier of chemical physics, but they receive scant mention in introductory courses and are poorly covered in standard texts. This text bridges the gap between what is traditionally taught in a one-semester quantum chemistry course and the modern field of chemical dynamics, presenting the quantum theory of charge and energy transport in biological systems and optical-electronic materials from a dynamic perspective. Written for graduate level courses in quantum mechanics in physics and chemistry departments and will be of interest to researchers and electrical engineers interested in optical-electronic materials.

IndexReviewsBoth in the United States and Europe the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has already been interpreted in terms of environmental rights for human beings. Could it now be applied to the natural world itself? The chapters of this book lay out what La Follette and Maser call Nature's Laws of Reciprocity and then propose strategies to include the rights of nature in legal systems. This could then ensure that human activities are kept within environmentally sustainable boundaries in an enforceable way. - Cameron La Follette and Chris Maser, Sustainability and the Rights of Nature. CRC Press Author InformationEric Bittner is currently the John and Rebecca Moores Distinguished Professor of chemical physics at the University of Houston. He received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1994 and was a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin and Stanford University before moving to the University of Houston in 1997. His accolades include an NSF Career Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He has also held visiting appointments at the University of Cambridge, the Ecole Normale Superieure-Paris, and at Los Alamos National Lab. His research is in the area of quantum dynamics as applied to organic polymer semiconductors, object linking and embedding directory services (OLEDS), solar cells, and energy transport in biological systems.
