RadiationChemical Processes in Solid Phase: Theory and Application

Unlike many other references, RadiationChemical Processes in Solid Phase analyzes experimental data on radiolysis in terms of solidstate physics. It traces the effect exerted by media from primary processes of radiationsubstance interaction to final products.The authors consider the main chemically active elementary excitations arising under irradiation of solids and discuss the mechanisms of chemical reactions induced by them. They present the general principles of solidstate and molecular physics, and cover numerous radiationchemical processes.
