Product Description
This comprehensive volume surveys the general aspects of atomic cluster science and outlines some of its important new challenges. It begins by detailing the recent advances in the understanding of structure and the essential properties of selected atomic cluster systems, fullerenes and confined atoms. Recent advances in the field of photo processes involving atomic clusters and fullerenes are discussed, and an entire chapter is devoted to the problem of fission dynamics of atomic clusters, presenting parallels with similar processes in nuclear physics. The book goes on to describe the problems of electron-cluster collisions with special emphasis on polarization and collective excitation effects. The important area of the behavior of atomic clusters in laser fields is considered; the ionization, collective dynamics of electrons in the system in the presence of the laser field, and the laser induced dynamics of molecules and clusters are thoroughly described.

Finally, a broad spectrum of problems in the area of ionic collisions with fullerenes and metal clusters is covered — from both experimental and theoretical points of view — and the results of the most recent measurements are reported. The concluding chapter takes a careful look at the interaction of an atomic cluster with a surface. The problems of cluster deposition and formation at a surface as well as collision processes involving clusters deposited at a surface are considered through a number of illustrative examples. ...

Product Description

The “Gale Encyclopedia of Science” is written at a level somewhere between the introductory sources and the highly technical texts currently available. This six-volume set covers all major areas of science and engineering, as well as mathematics and the medical and health sciences, while providing a comprehensive overview of current scientific knowledge and technology. Alphabetically arranged entries provide a user-friendly format that makes the broad scope of information easy to access and decipher. Entries typically describe scientific concepts, provide overviews of scientific areas and, in some cases, define terms.

Well done.Clear explanations with entertaining pictures
My 5.5 year old is into atoms and this was the closest thing I could find to an age-appropriate book on the subject.Atoms and associated topics such as radioactivity are explained in very simple language and the use of lively illustrations and humor to keep it sufficiently entertaining to hold kids' attention.Like a good textbook, it uses a historical approach, covering key experiments to show how our understanding of things developed.For example, the chapter on radioactivity included discussions of expermiments by Henri Becquerel, Marie Curie, and Ernest Rutherford.Also included are analogies to everyday things to make concepts easier to understand and, in addition, little experiments that you can do at home.I'd say that this book is better suited for kids 7 and up but it holds the attention of my interested preschooler.

Not only for children...
This is a great book, and not only for children ! I've personally enjoyed it as much as my 9-year old son... ... Read more
