Spectroscopic studies can reveal a wealth of information about the rotational and vibrational behavior of the constituent molecules of gases and liquids. This book reviews the fundamental concepts and models that underpin such studies. Throughout, discussion of the various quantum mechanical and semiclassical theories is interwoven with analysis of experimental results.
- Comprehensive review of theoretical techniques, combined with analysis of experimental results
