Kovács István: Rotational structure in the spectra of diatomic molecules (Budapest, 1969)
I. KOVÁCS ROTATIONAL STRUCTURE IN THE SPECTRA OF DIATOMIC MOLECULES Investigations on rotational spectra in diatomic molecules have in the past decades brought considerable theoretical achievements. These have been summarized in a systematic way in this work and, where necessary, supplemented by newer data. The book is especially concerned with intensity distribution formulas which are arranged in an organized set. The most typical experimental examples are given with ample illustrations demonstrating the validity of theoretical laws. Although the rotational part of the spectra, besides the vibrational and electron spectra, is rather specialized, nevertheless it makes it possible to penetrate the phenomena to a greater extent. In spite of the fact that the fundamental rules in this field had already been known earlier, it was only the last two decades that saw the working out of the details which are drawn together in this work. The book may be a useful guide for experimental and theoretical research workers who wish to work more closely on the structure in rotational spectra of diatomic molecules. Moreover, much time is spared for those interested in consulting this work by not having to resort to the extensive literature in this field. It may be helpful not only to physicists, and chemists working on spectroscopy, but also to astronomers in particular because of the tables of intensity distribution.
