Jesús Pérez-Ríos – författare

Spanning energy regimes from ultracold atoms to plasma chemistry, this concise volume presents a unified treatment of termolecular reaction dynamics, integrating statistical models, direct three-body recombination, and classical mechanisms such as Lindemann–Hinshelwood. With applications ranging from atmospheric ozone formation to hydrogen combustion and ion solvation, the book bridges theory and experiment across chemical physics, physical chemistry, and molecular dynamics. Each chapter critically evaluates theoretical frameworks against experimental data, highlighting open questions and future directions. Designed for postgraduate students and researchers, this accessible yet rigorous text consolidates decades of scattered literature into a single, authoritative resource. Written by Jesús Pérez-Ríos, a leading figure in molecular reaction theory, this volume is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand or model complex reaction pathways in gas-phase chemistry.

This book provides advanced undergraduate and graduate students with an overview of the fundamentals of cold and ultracold chemistry. Beginning with definitions of what cold and ultracold temperatures mean in chemistry, the book then takes the student through the essentials of scattering theory (classical and quantum mechanical), light-matter interaction, reaction dynamics and Rydberg physics. The author aims to show the reader the richness of the topic while motivating students to understand the fundamentals of these intriguing reactions and underlying connecting relationships. Including material which was previously only found in specialized review articles, this book provides students working in the fields of ultracold gases, chemical physics and physical chemistry with the tools they need to immerse themselves in the realm of cold and ultracold chemistry. This book opens up the exciting chemical laws which govern chemistry at low temperatures to the next generation of researchers.
