    • English
    Handbook of Electronic Structure Theory: Methods and Applications provides a much-needed learning resource that collects and demonstrates the various key methods involved in electronic structure theory, the feasibility and reliability of electronic structure calculations, and their applications using computational chemistry. With a particular focus on the most modern and recent problems that are typically poorly covered in existing, largely outdated book literature, this handbook is designed with early career researchers in mind. It is written primarily for masters, PhD, and postdoctoral students in theoretical and computational chemistry as well as experimental researchers wishing to apply quantum chemical methods in a critical way. Elements like summary boxes, worked examples, and downloadable datasets make this a holistic guide to the topic for learners from different backgrounds who require a deeper understanding of electronic structure theory. Sections focus on critical core theories, the most important recent developments, and future directions, including key topics such as the electronic excited states and the harnessing of machine learning. Finally, the book collects a range of key case study examples of applications, such as in biomolecules, in spectroscopy, and for use in catalysis, amongst others.

  • Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 117
    • English
    Magnetic resonance now has a history exceeding 70 years. Not only has the range of applications of magnetic resonance-based techniques grown exponentially but so too has the literature. Consequently, a distillation and synthesis of the literature is in itself an extremely important research tool, providing an efficient means to take newcomers to the research frontiers and keeping experienced researchers aware of contemporary practice.Since 1968 Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy been at the vanguard of reviewing the magnetic resonance literature. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy covers magnetic resonance in all its forms, including theory, experiment, applications, and interconnections with other techniques. It also provides the opportunity to make coherent aspects of magnetic resonance that were scattered and opaque. Historical articles are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiae-mail address: w.price@westernsydne...
