Statistical Thermodynamics

Graduate

A detailed picture of the current status of advanced experimental and theoretical research in modern reaction dynamics. Subjects to be discussed include transition state spectroscopy, coincidence imaging techniques, ion imaging applied to the study of chemical dynamics, nonlinear reaction dynamics in both stirred and reaction-diffusion media, theoretical dynamics treatment of chemical reactions. (2 lecture hours a week.) (May be offered as a cross-career course with CHEM-4410.)
