Description 1 online resource (vi, 100 pages) : illustrations (some color) Series SpringerBriefs in molecular science, Electrical and magnetic properties of atoms, molecules, and clusters, 2191-5407 SpringerBriefs in molecular science. Electrical and magnetic properties of atoms, molecules, and clusters. Contents Introduction -- Molecular Beam Electric Field Deflection: Experimental Considerations -- Molecular Beam Electric Field Deflection: Theoretical Description -- Case Studies -- Novel Experimental Tools -- Summary Summary A broad range of state-of-the-art methods to determine properties of clusters are presented. The experimental setup and underlying physical concepts of these experiments are described. Furthermore, existing theoretical models to explain the experimental observations are introduced and the possibility to deduce structural information from measurements of dielectric properties is discussed. Additional case studies are presented in the book to emphasize the possibilities but also drawbacks of the methods Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (ebrary, viewed January 5, 2014) Subject Dielectrics.
