Introduction to Atomic and Molecular Collisions [E-Book] / by R. E. Johnson.
In working with graduate students in engineering physics at the University of Virginia on research problems in gas kinetics, radiation biology, ion materials interactions, and upper-atmosphere chemistry, it became quite apparent that there was no satisfactory text available to these students on ato...
