This second edition builds on the first, providing a uniform approach to diverse problems encountered in the study of dynamical processes in condensed-phase molecular systems. It focuses on three themes: coverage of needed background material, in-depth introduction of methodologies, and analysis of several key applications to processes of importance in physical, chemical and biological phenomena in complex systems. Chapter 1 starts with a general review of basic mathematical and physical methods. It is followed by a few introductory chapters on quantum dynamics (Chapter 2), radiation–matter interaction (Chapter 3) and introduction to solids (Chapter 4) and liquids (Chapter 5). Chapters 6–12 provide a broad coverage of the main methodological approaches: time-correlation functions (Chapter 6), stochastic processes (Chapters 7 and 8), quantum relaxation phenomena (Chapters 9 and 10), linear response theory (Chapter 11) and various forms of the spin–boson model for describing molecular interaction with the radiation field and the thermal environment (Chapter 12). Chapters 13–19 describe some key applications: Vibrational relaxation and vibrational energy transfer (Chapter 13), Barrier crossing and diffusion-controlled reactions (Chapter 14), solvation dynamics (Chapter 15), electron transfer in bulk solvents (Chapter 16) and at electrodes/electrolyte and metal/molecule/metal junctions (Chapter 17), and several processes pertaining to molecular spectroscopy in condensed phases (Chapter 18) and at dielectric interfaces (new Chapter 19).
