Description
Molecular Electromagnetism aims to provide a fundamental understanding of the electromagnetic properties of molecules and molecular systems. Electric, magnetic, dielectric optical and spectroscopic properties are all discussed as are selected basic principles of spectroscopy. The book begins with a treatment of basic electromagnetism, working up to Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic radiation. A classical account of electromagnetic properties is then given. Finally the quantum- mechanical origins of electromagnetic properties are treated, building on a detailed treatment of the change of quantum state under external perturbations such as electromagnetic fields. The book is novel in combining basic electromagnetic theory with electromagnetic properties. This is a particular advantage for chemists, who may not have the background in electromagnetism required for a full appreciation of the electromagnetic properties which concern them. At the same time, the treatment of electromagnetic properties bridges the gap between largely descriptive texts and research level monographs.
