Rice Stuart Alan Rice (born 1932 in New York City) is an American theoretical chemist and physical chemist[1]. He is well-known as a theoretical chemist who also does experimental research. He is currently the Frank P. . Wiley-Interscience, [c]2004 643 p. $175.00 The four articles presented in this year's volume present an overview on as many topics, constituting a useful resource both for the specialist and the student. Coverage includes: physicochemical physicochemical /phys·i·co·chem·i·cal/ (fiz?i-ko-kem´ik-il) pertaining to both physics and chemistry. phys·i·co·chem·i·cal adj. 1. Relating to both physical and chemical properties. properties of nanostructured perfluoropolyether films, by Myung S. Jhon (chemical engineering and data storage systems, Carnegie Mellon U., Pittsburgh); fragility metrics in glass-forming liquids, by Udayan Mohanty (chemistry, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Mass.); non-Markovian theories of transfer reactions in luminescence and chemiluminecence and photo- and electrochemistry electrochemistry, science dealing with the relationship between electricity and chemical changes. Of principal interest are the reactions that take place between electrodes and the electrolytes in electric and electrolytic cells (see electrolysis), as well as the , by A.I. Burshtein (chemical physics, Weizmann Institute of Science The Weizmann Institute of Science (מכון ויצמן למדע) is a world-renowned institute of higher learning and research in Rehovot, Israel. , Rheovot, Israel); and nonlinear dynamic susceptibilities and field-induced birefringence Birefringence The splitting which a wavefront experiences when a wave disturbance is propagated in an anisotropic material; also called double refraction. In anisotropic substances the velocity of a wave is a function of displacement direction. in magnetic particle assemblies, by Yuriy L. Raikher and Victor I. Stepanov (both are with the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Science in Perm, Russia). Each essay concludes with a lengthy list of references. |
