Encyclopedia Of Spectroscopy And Spectrometry

The Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry provides authoritative and comprehensive coverage of current knowledge in the field of spectroscopy and related areas. Subjects such as mass spectrometry and scattering phenomena utilize many principles of spectroscopy and are so closely related in the perception of the user that the are included in the work.The major topics covered are atomic spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, fundamentals of spectroscopy, high energy spectroscopy, magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, spatially resolved spectroscopic analysis and vibrational, rotational and raman spectroscopies.The articles cover:* Rigorous descriptions of the theoretical background to spectroscopy and to each spectroscopic technique* Up-to-date descriptions and explanations of instruments and technology* Current applications* History of important areas of spectroscopyThe Encyclopedia provides:* An alphabetical article listing and a listing arranged according to subject area* Further reading lists at the end of each article allow easy access to the primary literature* Extensive cross-referencing and complete subject index and glossary terms in each volume* Numerous figures and tables illustrate the text and colour plate sections in each volume* Initial access to an online version offering extensive hypertext linking and advanced search tools is available to buyers of the print edition. Ongoing access is maintained for a minimal annual feeThe Encyclopedia:* Addresses a wide audience of academic and professional spectroscopists, in pharmaceutical, chemical and engineering industries, and medical technology, seeking an authoritative source of information on a branch of spectroscopy peripheral to their own * Is a useful source of course material for undergraduate students, teachers, and lecturers* Provides advanced levels of theory, practical tips on instrumentation, and insights into new ways of tackling problems
