      Handbook of Electronic Structure Theory 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chemistry, with a particular focus on the most modern and recent problems which are poorly covered in existing, largely outdated book literature. This handbook is designed with early career researcher learning in mind by aiming to provide a careful, structured, coherent, measured, and incremental presentation of the subject matter as well as appropriate problems and worked tutorial examples. Elements like summary boxes, worked examples, and downloadable data sets make this a holistic guide to the topic for learners from different backgrounds who require a deeper understanding of electronic structure theory.Part I one of the book focuses on the critical core theories, before Part II moves on to some of the most important recent developments and their potential future directions, including key topics such as the electronic excited states and the harnessing of machine learning. Finally, Part III then collects a range of key case study examples of applications such as for biomolecules, in spectroscopy, or for use in catalysis amongst others.Handbook of Electronic Structure Theory 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. The book will also have significant relevance to those studying and teaching in the adjacent fields of computational physics, materials science, and astrochemistry, who are making use of electronic structure methods. It is also likely to be of interest to chemists working on designing new materials and compounds targeting industrial and environmental applications such as catalysis, energy harvesting or green chemistry.

      VOCs available in exhaled human breath are the products of metabolic activity in the body and, therefore, any changes in their control level can be utilized to diagnose specific diseases. More than 1000 VOCs have been identified in exhaled human breath along with the respiratory droplets which provide rich information on overall health conditions. This book cover the introductory information on VOCs, their source in the human body, associated diseases, potential sensing materials used for selective detection, and the advancement in their sensing technology. These VOCs offer great potential as a biomarker for a disease that can be sampled non-invasively from exhaled breath with breath biopsy. However, it is still a great challenge to develop a rapid responsive, highly selective, and sensitive VOC-sensing system. This book analyzes all the challenges and their possible solutions that can be used to achieve target-specific detection and real-time monitoring of the VOC molecules in the exhaled breath. It also covers a detailed discussion of all the sensing materials developed for selective and sensitive detection of VOC molecules and their integration with photonic devices in order to develop miniature technology. It covers various miniature sensing systems that are being exploited in VOC sensing such as interferometer, Bragg grating, microstructured fiber, 3D printed optical sensing systems, etc. The book will also provide an overview of the FEM technique and computation methods used to optimize the optical sensing devices before their practical realization. Photonic sensors for detection of VOC biomarkers aims to provide comprehensive information to early career professionals and boost their existing knowledge in the area of Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering.
