Van der Waals Complexes in Supersonic Beams

Jaroslaw Koperski

Wiley, Mar 7, 2003 - Science - 237 pages

Here, readers are introduced to the current experimental techniques of laser spectroscopy of van der Waals complexes produced in supersonic beams. The book is unique in its style, subject and scope, and provides information on recent research not only for researchers focusing on molecular spectroscopy but also for those interested in the cooling of atoms and molecules. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive characterization of the metal(Me)-rare gas(RG) and Me2 diatoms, using an example of the 12-group and rare gas atoms, respectively.

About the author

Jaroslaw Koperski studied Physics at the Jagiellonian University Kraków, Poland, and finished his PhD in 1989. Since then he works at the Jagiellonian University, presently as an Assistant Professor. He spent a few years at the University of Windsor, Canada, and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industry Research Organization in Melbourne, Australia.
His main research interests are laser spectroscopy of van der Waals molecules produced in supersonic beams, elements for manipulation of ultra-cold atoms and atomic interferometry, as well as properties and application of quantum beats method in atomic and molecular spectroscopy.
