Inhaltsangabe

This book proposes a completely unique reaction kinetics theory based on the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics; the physical viewpoint and mathematical details for the theory construction are explained, and abundant applications of the theory mainly in materials science are described. The theory argues that physical systems on reaction are in a quantum-mechanically uncertain state, and that such systems will transition to new states after a finite duration time. Based on this theory, if the magnitude of the energy uncertainty, i.e., energy fluctuation of the system on reaction can be determined, we can calculate the reaction rates not only for the thermal activation processes but also for the non-thermal activation process such as mechanical, optical, electromagnetic, or other actions. Therefore, researchers or engineers who are involved in fields such as the discovery of new chemical substances, development of materials, innovation of manufacturing processes, andalso everyone purely interested in kinetic methodology find this book very stimulating and motivating. 

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Satoru Yamamoto received his Ph.D. from Kyoto University in 1970. His research interests include theoretical reaction kinetics, reaction mechanism in metallic alloys, quantum chemistry of chemical bonding, and also his research extends to natural philosophy. He published 75 papers in domestic and international scientific journals such as Acta materialia or Z. physikalische Chemie, et al. He is the author of 13 books; “A Trial of New Reaction Kinetics” (1979) which proposed a new theory of reaction kinetics based on the uncertainty principle, in addition to 4 books on new materials science described from a viewpoint of chemical bonding, 5 books on conceptual analysis of science and cognition, and 3 books on cast iron materials.
