Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • World War II
  • Molecule

Robert S. Mulliken spends much of his time researching Atomic physics, Spectral line, Excited state, Molecule and Molecular orbital. His Atomic physics study incorporates themes from Dipole, Ionization, Molecular physics and Diatomic molecule. His Spectral line research incorporates elements of Chemical physics and Polarization.

His work investigates the relationship between Excited state and topics such as Electron configuration that intersect with problems in Atom. His work deals with themes such as Electron, Electronic structure, Rydberg formula and Notation, which intersect with Molecule. While the research belongs to areas of Molecular orbital, Robert S. Mulliken spends his time largely on the problem of Atomic orbital, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Wave function and Discrete mathematics.

His most cited work include:

  • Molecular Compounds and their Spectra. II (1820 citations)
  • A New Electroaffinity Scale; Together with Data on Valence States and on Valence Ionization Potentials and Electron Affinities (1072 citations)
  • Formulas and Numerical Tables for Overlap Integrals (829 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Robert S. Mulliken focuses on Atomic physics, Spectral line, Molecule, Diatomic molecule and Molecular physics. He studies Excited state which is a part of Atomic physics. His work on Atomic electron transition as part of general Spectral line study is frequently connected to Kinetic isotope effect and Interpretation, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

The Molecule study combines topics in areas such as Chemical physics, Crystallography, Electronic structure and Ionization. His studies in Diatomic molecule integrate themes in fields like Electronic states and Band spectrum. He has researched Photochemistry in several fields, including Hyperconjugation and Ultraviolet.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atomic physics (46.69%)
  • Spectral line (22.18%)
  • Molecule (18.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1984-2014)?

  • Atomic physics (46.69%)
  • Library science (3.50%)
  • Emergency department (2.72%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Robert S. Mulliken mostly deals with Atomic physics, Library science, Emergency department, Art history and Atomic orbital. The concepts of his Atomic physics study are interwoven with issues in Rydberg formula and Oxygen. His Rydberg formula research includes themes of Dipole, Transition dipole moment, Second moment of area, Valence and Atom.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Theoretical physics, Dissociation and Molecular orbital in addition to Atomic orbital. His studies deal with areas such as Spectral line and Molecule as well as Theoretical physics. His Molecule study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Computational chemistry and Visible band.

Between 1984 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Appropriateness of medication selection for older persons in an urban academic emergency department. (169 citations)
  • Advances in Molecular Spectroscopy (149 citations)
  • Early revisit, hospitalization, or death among older persons discharged from the ED. (112 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • World War II
  • Molecule

Emergency department, Atomic physics, Ground state, Prospective cohort study and Activities of daily living are his primary areas of study. His Emergency department research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Quality of life, Gerontology, Geriatrics and Emergency medicine. His Quality of life research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Alcohol abuse and Psychiatry.

His Gerontology research incorporates elements of Psychological intervention and Health related quality of life. Robert S. Mulliken has researched Geriatrics in several fields, including Mental health and Pediatrics. His study in Atomic physics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Rydberg formula, Dipole, Transition dipole moment, Second moment of area and Valence.
