the advances in chemical physics series provides the chemical physics field with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. this volume explores the following topics: multidimensional incoherent time-resolved spectroscopy and complex kinetics complex multiconfigurational self-consistent field based methods to investigate electron-atom/molecule scattering resonances determination of molecular orientational correlations in disordered systems from diffraction data recent advances in studying mechanical properties of dna viscoelastic subdiffusion: generalized langevin equation approach efficient and unbiased sampling of biomolecular systems in the canonical ensemble: a review of self-guided langevin dynamics
