Publisher Synopsis
What makes Electronic and Optical Properties of Conjugated Polymers as a whole so enjoyable to read is that it gives a complete overview of the influence of correlation effects on the ground and excited states of those materials. It is a comprehensive treatise aimed at theoretical physicists and chemists working in the field and at graduate students and other researchers who need to analyze their data in terms of theoretical models. The book is longoverdue. * Physics Today * Review from previous edition William Barford's Electronic and Optical Properties of Conjugated Polymers is a theoretical complement to the high experimental culture of British research on conjugated polymers. * Physics Today * Read more...
