Molecular Physics

Professor Wolfgang Demtröder studied physics and mathematics, and received his PhD degree in 1961 from the University of Bonn. After working as an assistant professor and researcher at the University of Freiburg until 1967, he went as a visiting fellow to JILA in Boulder, Colorado. In 1970 he accepted a post as full professor at the newly founded University of Kaiserslautern, Germany, where he still works. Professor Demtröder was awarded the Max-Born-Award of the English and German Physical Society in 1995. He is the author of about 150 scientific papers and several books.

"Eine genaue Übersicht zur Prüfungsvorbereitung und ein Nachschlagewerk, für alle, die sich im Elementarteilchenzoo besser zurechtfinden wollen."

"Empfehlen kann man das Buch Studierenden, die ein Lehrbuch über Molekülspektroskopie suchen. Die Stoffaufteilung orientiert sich eher am Bedarf jüngerer Studierender, des ungeachtet ist das Buch ob seiner Ausführlichkeit auch für weiter fortgeschrittene Leser ein Gewinn."
