The Iodine Molecule

Sergei S. Lukashov is Associate Professor of physics at the Saint-Petersburg State University, Russia. He teaches molecular spectroscopy and laser spectroscopy. The focus of his current research interests lies in gas-phase photochemistry and molecular dynamics in small molecules and molecular complexes.

Alexander N. Petrov is Associate Professor of physics at the Saint Petersburg State University and Senior researcher at National Research Centre "Kurchatov Institute", Russia.

He teaches "theoretical mechanics", "theory of molecules" and "quantum chemistry". His scientific interests related with high-precision calculations of molecules, parity non-conservation effects, ultracold molecules and Feshbach resonances. He is author of more than sixty refereed publications.

Anatoly M. Pravilov is Professor of physics at the Saint Petersburg State University, Russia.

He teaches kinetics and mechanisms of gas-phase processes and radiometry. The focus of his current research interests lies in gas-phase photochemistry as well as spectroscopy and dynamics in small molecules and weakly-bound complexes. He has already published a book on photoprocesses in molecular gasses, in 1992 in Russian, and a Springer book on radiometry in modern scientific experiments, in 2011.
