Recent Trends in Radiation Chemistry

The contributors to the book are world-renowned specialists. The book is unique in that it covers a wide spectrum of topics that will be of great interest to beginners as well as experts. Recent data on ultrafast phenomena from the recently established world-class laser-driven accelerators facilities in the US, France and Japan are reviewed. There has not been a significant book covering the important field of radiation chemistry for the last 5 years. This timely book, which includes highlights of recent work, will appeal not only to the specialists working in the area but also to other researchers involved in related specialties.

The purpose of the book is to expose graduate students and young scientists working in the field to recent developments in radiation chemistry research and to demonstrate to scientists, engineers and other technologists the utility of radiation chemical techniques in advancing their scientific pursuits. The fact that radiation chemistry is a vital part of molecular science is more than evident from the diverse topics found within these covers.
