Tunneling Phenomena in Chemical Physics

Download or read book Tunneling Phenomena in Chemical Physics written by V.I. Gol'danskii and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveys the contemporary concepts and theoretical and experimental results of tunneling processes. Examines from a unified viewpoint not only chemical reactions but also other physical physicochemical and biological phenomena in which the tunneling effect is of great importance. Covers the general ideas of tunneling, the low temperature chemical reactions that manifest tunneling mechanisms, tunneling effects in amorphous materials, quantum diffusion and surface phenomena in quantum crystals, hopping diffusion and tunneling scavenging of electrons, and tunneling effects in biological systems.
