Quantum Mechanical Tunneling in Chemical Physics

This book presents basic theories as well as original theories developed by the authors in quantum mechanical tunneling. It presents practical methods and numerical applications to real multidimensional systems. The text offers information so readers can understand the basic concepts and dynamics of multidimensional tunneling phenomena and use the described methods for various molecular spectroscopy and chemical dynamics problems. It explains nonadiabatic phenomena. It also discusses tunneling in chemical reactions, including theories for direct evaluation of reaction rate constants for both electronically adiabatic and nonadiabatic chemical reactions.
