Spectroscopy, the study of the interaction between matter and radiated energy is not a new science, but it has moved on considerably from its original roots. This second, thoroughly revised, updated and enlarged edition of the classic handbook contains new themes, such as nano-optics and polymer analysis, yet provides the same wealth of information as the original book.
Clearly structured in fifteen sections, covering everything from sample preparation to medicinal applications, spanning a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum and the physical processes involved, from nuclear phenomena to molecular rotation processes.
Based on the practical knowledge of spectroscopists at universities, industries and research institutes worldwide, these four volumes are a must-have companion for daily use in every laboratory.
About the Author
Professor Gauglitz published over 225 publications on photokinetics, UV-VIS spectroscopy, chromatographic detection, optical sensors, modification and characterization of boundary layers, and many more topics. He is author of several books on practical spectroscopy, and basics and applications in photokinetics, among others.
Professor Moore published more than 110 publications and five book chapters, as well as holder of four patents. He is presently a technical staff member at Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA. David Moore received a B.S. in Chemistry (University of Utah, 1974) and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry (University of Wisconsin, 1980). He was a Los Alamos National Laboratory Director-Funded Postdoctoral Fellow (1980-1981) and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow (Essen 1993-94). in 2004 he was named Fellow of the American Physical Society.
New to Edition
This completely revised and updated edition of the standard reference work on spectroscopy now contains new chapters on spectroscopy in nano dimensions, quality control, spectroscopy at surfaces, polymer analysis and nano-opitcs.
