Summary:

Providing a unified description of different transfer phenomena in molecular systems, this volume serves as an introduction for graduate students and researchers. The authors manage to bridge the regimes of coherent and dissipative dynamics and thus establish the connection between classic rate theories and modern treatments of ultrafast phenomena. Starting from microscopic models, the common features of the different transfer processes are highlighted. The applications range from vibrational energy flow in large polyatomics, the motion of protons in solution, up to the concerted dynamics of electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom in molecules and molecular aggregates.
