Includes bibliographical references and index. Jahn-Teller effect and vibronic interactions: general theory -- Conical intersections and nonadiabatic dynamics in molecular processes -- Impurities; spectroscopy of transition metal complexes -- Fullerenes and fullerides -- Jahn-Teller effect and molecular magnetism -- The cooperative Jahn-Teller effect and orbital ordering -- Jahn-Teller effect and high-Tc superconductivity. The Jahn-Teller effect continues to be a paradigm for structural instabilities and dynamical processes in molecules and in the condensed phase. While the basic theorem, first published in 1937, had to await experimental verification for 15 years, the intervening years have seen rapid development, initially in the theoretical arena, followed increasingly by experimental work on molecules and crystals. Among the many important developments in the field we mention cooperative phenomena in crystals, the general importance of pseudo-Jahn-Teller couplings for symmetry-lowering phenomena in molecular. |
