In 1919, Otto Stern launched the revolutionary molecular beam technique. This technique made it possible to send atoms and molecules with well-defined momentum through vacuum and to measure with high accuracy the deflections they underwent when acted upon by transversal forces. These measurements revealed unforeseen quantum properties of nuclei, atoms, and molecules that became the basis for our current understanding of quantum matter. This volume shows that many key areas of modern physics and chemistry owe their beginnings to the seminal molecular beam work of Otto Stern and his school. Written by internationally recognized experts, the contributions in this volume will help experienced researchers and incoming graduate students alike to keep abreast of current developments in molecular beam research as well as to appreciate the history and evolution of this powerful method and the knowledge it reveals. 606 $aQuantum physics (quantum mechanics & quantum field theory)$2bicssc 606 $aNuclear physics$2bicssc 606 $aAstronomy, space & time$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of science$2bicssc 606 $aPhysics$2bicssc 610 $aQuantum Physics 610 $aAtomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra 610 $aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology 610 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics 610 $aPhysics, general 610 $aAtomic and Molecular Structure and Properties 610 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 610 $aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy 610 $aPhysics and Astronomy 610 $aOpen Access 610 $aMolecular Beam History 610 $aPrecision Measurements 610 $aFemto- and Atto-science 610 $aFoundations of Quantum Mechanics 610 $aDroplet Beams 610 $aMolecular Beam Applications 610 $aMatter Wave Interferometry 610 $aUltracold Atoms 610 $aQuantum physics (quantum mechanics & quantum field theory) 610 $aNuclear physics 610 $aTheoretical & mathematical astronomy 610 $aHistory of science 610 $aPhysics 615 7$aQuantum physics (quantum mechanics & quantum field theory) 615 7$aNuclear physics 615 7$aAstronomy, space & time 615 7$aHistory of science 615 7$aPhysics 700 $aFriedrich$b Bretislav$01238973 701 $aSchmidt-Böcking$b Horst$01238974 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485596903321 996 $aMolecular Beams in Physics and Chemistry$92875075 997 $aUNINA
