Rotational Dynamics of Small and Macromolecules: Proceedings of a Workshop, Held at the Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Forschung, Universität ... April 21–23, 1986 (Lecture Notes in Physics)

Rotational correlation times for small molecules in liquids.- Statistical study of freely rotating asymmetric top molecules. Case of planar tops.- Relaxation of rigid and non-rigid molecules in liquids.- The problem of internal motion of molecules in the liquid as seen from NMR relaxation studies.- A comparative study of molecular rotation as studied by dynamic light scattering, fluorescence anisotropy decay and Raman bandwidth analysis.- Molecular rotational dynamics in isotropic and oriented fluids studied by ESR.- Computer simulation of pretransitional phenomena in hard-core models for liquid crystals.- Molecular order and dynamics of liquid crystal polymers studied by multipulse dynamic NMR techniques.- The elastic trumbbell model for dynamics of stiff chains.- Rotation of large molecular ions and transient dielectric relaxation effects.- Dynamics of semirigid macromolecules in dilute Studies of DNA restriction fragments.- Slow and ultraslow rotational motions of macromolecules in the vicinity of the glass transition and in liquid crystalline polymers as revealed by pulsed deuteron NMR.
