Quantum Molecular Dynamics

Quantum Molecular Dynamics (1st Edition) by David A. Micha provides a comprehensive treatment of collision-induced phenomena, emphasizing practical, theoretical, and computational aspects of physical and chemical kinetics. Published by Wiley-Blackwell, this textbook targets advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and active researchers in physical, theoretical, and computational chemistry who need a foundational framework for analyzing molecular processes.

The volume offers a systematic overview of molecular collisions driving energy-transfer and reactivity phenomena in gases. Its coverage details elastic, inelastic, and reactive collisions that result in energy transfer, electronic transitions, and chemical reactions. Additionally, the text covers photoinduced dynamics as well as molecular collisions with surfaces.

Worked examples and practical applications connect formal theoretical results directly with experimental data gathered for specific physical systems. This 1st Edition textbook offers structured instructional support for advanced academic coursework and ongoing research initiatives across chemical physics, materials science, and physical chemistry.
