Description
Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry by George C. Schatz and Mark A. Ratner provides a comprehensive exploration of quantum mechanical techniques from a chemistry and materials science perspective. The book begins with a review of basic concepts from introductory quantum mechanics, before delving into topics such as symmetry, rotations, and angular momentum addition. The authors then apply these concepts to various areas of chemistry, including the interaction of radiation and matter, scattering theory, and chemical reaction rates. The book also introduces occupation number representations and correlation functions, providing a detailed understanding of quantum mechanics in chemistry. Suitable for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry includes problems and a bibliography at the end of each chapter, as well as an Appendix C with solutions to problems.
