Collisions of Molecules with Clusters: A Quasiclassical Study

  • Chapter
Topics in Atomic and Nuclear Collisions

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 321))

Abstract

Among the most intriguing and fascinating aspects of the physico-chemical phenomena taking place in very different systems, which form the subject matter of disciplines as diverse as nuclear physics, atomic physics, physics and chemistry of individual molecules, of atomic and molecular clusters, and even of liquids and solids (each of these has well-defined limits of applicability), are those that cross the interdisciplinary boundaries and are common for the different systems. Unearthing universality is one of the central objectives of a scientific pursuit not only because universal means fundamental, but also because universality introduces a unifying and often simplifying order into our picture of the physical reality.
