Molecular Symmetry, Super-Rotation, and Semiclassical Motion

Presents fundamentally new ideas for describing dynamics in small molecules

Describes the application of molecular symmetry calculations to formulate new models for internal molecular motion

Compares a recent experimental work with theoretical calculations

Covers three different hot topics in molecular spectroscopy: nuclear spin symmetry, the motion of extremely floppy molecules, and the ultrafast rotations of small molecules in hot environments

Autorentext

Hanno Schmiedt received his PhD from the University of Cologne, Germany, in 2017, where he also obtained his MSc in 2014. In 2009, he became a fellow of the German National Academic Foundation, and he was awarded the Honors Branch scholarship of the Bonn Cologne Graduate School of Physics and Astronomy (BCGS) in 2014. His research focus is on molecular spectroscopy, where he studies unconventional dynamical behavior in small molecular systems. He is the co-author of several publications on molecular symmetry and semiclassical calculations of rotational energies for small molecules.
