In 1919, Otto Stern launched the revolutionary molecular beam technique. This technique made it possible to send atoms and molecules with well-defined momentum through vacuum and to measure with high accuracy the deflections they underwent when acted upon by transversal forces. These measurements revealed unforeseen quantum properties of nuclei, atoms, and molecules that became the basis for our current understanding of quantum matter. This volume shows that many key areas of modern physics and chemistry owe their beginnings to the seminal molecular beam work of Otto Stern and his school. Written by internationally recognized experts, the contributions in this volume will help experienced researchers and incoming graduate students alike to keep abreast of current developments in molecular beam research as well as to appreciate the history and evolution of this powerful method and the knowledge it reveals. 2021-07-14T09:58:15Z 2021-07-14T09:58:15Z 2021 book ONIX_20210714_9783030639631_10 9783030639631 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/50021 eng application/pdf n/a 978-3-030-63963-1.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783030639631 Springer Nature Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-030-63963-1 10.1007/978-3-030-63963-1 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 9783030639631 Springer International Publishing 647 open access
