Single-molecule Optical Detection and Spectroscopy - Hardcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Single-Molecule Optical Detection, Imaging and Spectroscopy Edited by T. Basché, W. E. Moerner, M. Orrit, U. P. Wild Detection of single molecules has been one of the most exciting visions generations of scientists have been dreaming of. In recent years large progress has been made and today experiments at the single-molecule level ? while not yet a tool for routine analysis ? are becoming increasingly common. In this volume some of the pioneers in the field present the latest developments in detecting and probing single entities. It is a thorough yet concise survey of current methods and their applications. Topics included range from physical principles of single-molecule spectroscopy and theoretical models for the spectral dynamics of single molecules to magnetic resonance of single spins and applications of single-molecule detection in analytical chemistry.
