Recent advances in infrared molecular spectroscopy have resulted
in sophisticated theoretical and laboratory methods that are
difficult to grasp without a solid understanding of the basic
principles and underlying theory of vibration-rotation absorption
spectroscopy. "Rotational Structure in Molecular Infrared Spectra"
fills the gap between these recent, complex topics and the most
elementary methods in the field of rotational structure in the
infrared spectra of gaseous molecules. There is an increasing need
for people with the skills and knowledge to interpret
vibration-rotation spectra in many scientific disciplines,
including applications in atmospheric and planetary research.
Consequently, the basic principles of vibration-rotation absorption
spectroscopy are addressed for contemporary applications. In
addition to covering operational quantum mechanical methods,
spherical tensor algebra, and group theoretical methods applied to
molecular symmetry, attention is also given to phase conventions
and their effects on the values of matrix elements. Designed for
researchers and PhD students involved in the interpretation of
vibration-rotation spectra, the book intentionally separates basic
theoretical arguments (in the appendices), allowing readers who are
mainly concerned with applications to skip the principles while at
the same time providing a sound theoretical basis for readers who
are looking for more foundational information.
- Reviews basic theory and contemporary methods of vibration
rotation absorption spectroscopy, including operational quantum
mechanical methods, spherical tensor algebra, and group theoretical
methods applied to molecular symmetry
- Covers sophisticated mathematical topics in simple,
easy-to-read language
- Discusses methods and applications separately from basic
theoretical arguments for quick reference
