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.
