TI - Atomic and molecular beams: production and collimation SN - 9780367849153 U1 - 539.12 PY - 2013/// CY - Boca Raton PB - CRC Press KW - Molecular beams KW - Atomic beams KW - Electron beams KW - Kinetic theory of gases N2 - Atomic and molecular beams are employed in physics and chemistry experiments and, to a lesser extent, in the biological sciences. These beams enable atoms to be studied under collision-free conditions and allow the study of their interaction with other atoms, charged particles, radiation, and surfaces. Atomic and Molecular Beams: Production and Collimation explores the latest techniques for producing a beam from any substance as well as from the dissociation of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and the halogens ER -
