This 3
rd edition has been expanded and updated to account for recent developments, while new illustrative examples as well as an enlarged reference list have been added. It naturally retains the successful concept of its predecessors in presenting a unified perspective on molecular charge and energy transfer processes, thud bridging the regimes of coherent and dissipative dynamics, and establishing a connection between classic rate theories and modern treatments of ultrafast phenomena.
While serving as an introduction for graduate students and researchers, this is equally a must-have reference for graduate students and experimentalists, as well as an aid to interpreting experimental data and accessing the original literature.
