Handbook of Applied Solid State Spectroscopy [Paperback]

Solid-State spectroscopy is a burgeoning field with applications in many branches of science, including physics, chemistry, biosciences, surface science, and materials science. This handbook brings together in one volume information about various spectroscopic techniques that is currently scattered in the literature of these disciplines. This concise yet comprehensive volume covers theory and applications of a broad range of spectroscopies. It provides an overview of sixteen spectroscopic technique and self-contained chapters present up-to-date scientific and technical information and references with minimal overlap and redundancy.

This comprehensive book brings together information about spectroscopic techniques. Emphasis has been laid on the fundamentals, methods and procedures, applications and new developments in the field. Each chapter presents an overview of a particular technique.

Solid State Spectroscopy is a burgeoning field being applied in many branches of science including physics, chemistry, biosciences, surface science and materials science. The currently available information about various spectroscopic techniques is scattered across various disciplines in the scientific and technical literature not within easy reach of the reader. There is a need to have a comprehensive yet concise volume including major research efforts in various spectroscopic techniques, currently in practice around the world, to become available under one cover.

Handbook of Applied Solid State Spectroscopy envisions pertinent aspects of almost all solid state spectroscopic techniques being practiced through NMR, NQR, EPR/ESR, ENDOR, Scanning Tunneling, Acoustic Resonance, FTIR, Auger Electron Emission, X-ray Photoelectron Emission, Luminescence, and Optical Polarization. The book is composed of 16 chapters, each presenting an overview of a particular technique. Each chalóW
