Edited by Nobel prize winner Ilya Prigogine and renowned authority Stuart A. Rice, the Advances in Chemical Physics series provides a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations in every area of the discipline. Experts in the field present comprehensive analyses of subjects of interest, and the format encourages the expression of individual points of view. Chapters in Volume 121 include: Ultrafast dynamics and spectroscopy of bacterial photosynthetic reaction centersPolymer melts at solid surfacesMorphology of surfaces in mesoscopic polymers, surfactants, electrons, or reaction-diffusion systems: methods, simulations, and measurementsInfrared lineshapes of weak hydrogen bonds: recent quantum developmentsTwo centre effects in ionization by ion-impact in heavy-particle collisionsEvolution times of probability distributions and averages — exact solutions of the Kramer's ProblemAb initio quantum molecular dynamics Advances in Chemical Physics remains the premier venue for presentations of new findings in the field.
