| Title | Miller, Roger Ervin: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Citation | Roger Miller is a leading, imaginative and prolific molecular spectroscopist: one of the best of what can be called the sub-Doppler generation. He has developed unique instruments with which he has substantially improved our understanding of intermolecular forces, hydrogen bonding, combustion and global energy balance. His textbook quality spectra (among them the first rotationally resolved spectrum of the water dimer), have demonstrated the existence of isomers in van der Waals molecules (eg the HCN trimer), have determined the dissociation energy of weakly bound complexes with unprecedented precision (eg the HF dimer) and have shown the transferability of intermolecular forces for the functional groups of organic molecules. His pioneering infrared spectroscopy studies of molecular rotation and of supramolecular assembly in superfluid helium nanodroplets are beautiful breakthroughs that have given real momentum to this exciting new field. |
