The first unified treatment of experimental and theoreticaladvances in low-temperature chemistry Chemical Dynamics at LowTemperatures is a landmark publication. For the first time, thecumulative results of twenty years of experimental and theoreticalresearch into low-temperature chemistry have been collected andpresented in a unified treatment. The result is a text/referencethat both offers an overview of the subject and contains sufficientdetail to guide practicing researchers toward fertile ground forfuture research. Topics covered include:
* Developmental history
* Formulation of general problems and the main approximations usedto solve them
* Specific features of tunneling chemical dynamics
* One-dimensional tunneling in the path integral formalism
* Special problems of two- and multidimensional tunneling
* An extended presentation of pertinent experimental results
