Struve W.S. Fundamentals of Molecular Spectroscopy

John Wiley & Sons, 1989. — 379 p. — ISBN: 0471854247 9780471854241.This is an introduction to the spectroscopy of atoms and molecules. The book examines electronic band spectra and polyatomic rotations, which makes accessible the energy levels and selection rules that govern microwave spectroscopy without recourse to detailed rotational eigenstates, and covers triatomic molecules, aromatic hydrocarbons, lasers, multiphoton spectroscopies, and diagrammatic perturbation techniques.This book provides background material on time-dependent perturbation theory and second quantization, and incorporates many illustrative spectra from the literature.Radiation-Matter interactions
