Professor A.D. Buckingham
Professor Buckingham has now retired from his university position but remains active in research
Our research involves theoretical and experimental investigations of the structure, properties and interaction of molecules
* The interaction of molecules with external electric, magnetic and optical fields and with polarized neutrons.
* Intermolecular forces and the structure and properties of Van der Waals molecules.
* The measurement and interpretation of linear and non-linear optical properties of matter, particularly chiral species
* Chirality and NMR spectra
