Here, readers are introduced to the current experimental techniques of laser spectroscopy of van der Waals complexes produced in supersonic beams. The book is unique in its style, subject and scope, and provides information on recent research not only for researchers focusing on molecular spectroscopy but also for those interested in the cooling of atoms and molecules. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive characterization of the metal(Me)-rare gas(RG) and Me2 diatoms, using an example of the 12-group and rare gas atoms, respectively. |
