Chemical Generation and Reception of Radio- and Microwaves Anatoly L. Buchachenko Eugene L. Frankevich With this first critical overview in a decade, two internationally recognized authorities on spin chemistry make an important contribution to this timely topic in chemical physics. Two novel features of chemical reactions are described: The generation of radiowaves by reactions and the effects of electromagnetic waves on some chemical reactions. In this sense, this treatise formulates chemical radiophysics as a new field of chemical physics. The authors detail physical and chemical reaction mechanisms, the selection of nuclei by spin orientation and magnetic moment, (non)magnetic isotope separation and accumulation in reaction products, and NMR detection by nontraditional radiophysical methods. Coverage features new insights into chemical dynamics and reaction mechanisms. Chemical radiophysics offers new radiospectroscopy techniques of exquisite sensitivity. One brief chapter summarizes the physical basis by which electromagnetic fields could affect reactions of biological significance. Chemical Generation and Reception of Radio- and Microwaves is an essential reference for chemical physicists, physical organic chemists, material scientists, and radio- and biophysicists.
Synopsis
Mit diesem ersten kritischen berblick seit ber einem Jahrzehnt leisten zwei international anerkannte Autorit ten auf dem Feld der Spin-Physik einen wichtigen Beitrag zu diesem aktuellen Feld der Chemischen Physik. Sie bechreiben zwei berraschende Charakteristika chemischer Reaktionen: Die Erzeugung von Radiowellen und umgekehrt der Einflu von elektromagnetischen Wellen auf chemische Reaktionen. In diesem Sinne etabliert dieses Werk die chemische Radiophysik als ein neues Gebiet der Chemischen Physik. Die Autoren schildern detailliert die Mechanismen von chemischen und physikalischen Reaktionen, die Auswahl von Kernen durch Spinorientierung und magnetische Momente, die (nicht)magnetische Trennung von Isotopen und deren Akkumulation in den Reaktionsprodukten. Damit werden neue Einsichten in die chemische Dynamik und Reaktionsmechanismen vermittelt. Die chemische Radiophysik bietet neue radiospektroskopische Verfahren mit hoher Empfindlichkeit. Ein kurzes Kapitel fa t die physikalischen Grundlagen zusammen, aufgrund derer elektromagnetische Felder biologisch relevante Reaktionen hervorrufen k nnen. Chemical Generation and Reception of Radio- and Microwaves ist eine wichtige Referenz f r Chemische Physiker, f r Physikalische Organische Chemiker, Materialwissenschaftler sowie Radio- und Biophysiker.
