Springer Computational Methods for Electron-Molecule Collisions

This comprehensive Springer reference explores the physics and computational techniques underlying electron-molecule collisions, a fundamental process in atomic and molecular physics with applications across chemistry and materials science. The book addresses both high-energy regimes where collisions reveal molecular geometries and oscillator strengths for optical transitions, and low-energy scenarios where correlation and exchange effects dominate the physics. Designed for researchers and advanced students, it provides the theoretical framework and practical methods needed to model and understand electron-impact ionization, molecular scattering, and related phenomena essential for spectroscopy, plasma physics, and chemical kinetics.
