Modern Diffraction Methods
Date: Oct 15, 2012
Author: E. J. Mittemeijer, U. Welzel
The first comprehensive overview of the potential and virtues of modern diffraction methods, this book covers various applications in which these versatile and very important techniques play a major role. These range from nanoscience to materials science, surface technologies to single crystal structure determination, and the analysis of phases and phase transformations to the microstructure of materials. Of major interest to biochemists, material scientists, material engineers and also those working in...

Thin Film Analysis by X-Ray Scattering
Date: Nov 15, 2005
Author: Mario Birkholz
With contributions by Paul F. Fewster and Christoph Genzel While X-ray diffraction investigation of powders and polycrystalline matter was at the forefront of materials science in the 1960s and 70s, high-tech applications at the beginning of the 21st century are driven by the materials science of thin films. Very much an interdisciplinary field, chemists, biochemists, materials scientists, physicists and engineers all have a common interest in thin films and their manifold uses and applications. Grain...

Mechanisms in Homogeneous Catalysis
Date: Nov 8, 2005
Author: Brian Heaton
While chemists using spectroscopic methods need to learn from the specialists, they do not normally read the spectroscopists' original papers. This book provides this very information -- summarizing some recent advances in the mechanistic understanding of metallocene polymerization catalysts and the role of NMR spectroscopy in these endeavors. Adopting a real practice-oriented approach, the authors focus on two of the most important spectroscopic techniques with two parts devoted to each of NMR and IR...

Molecular Physics
Date: Nov 1, 2005
Author: Wolfgang Demtröder
The richly illustrated book comprehensively explains the important principles of diatomic and polyatomic molecules and their spectra in two separate, distinct parts. The first part concentrates on the theoretical aspects of molecular physics, such as the vibration, rotation, electronic states, potential curves, and spectra of molecules. The different methods of approximation for the calculation of electronic wave functions and their energy are also covered. The introduction of basics terms used in group...

Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds, 7th Edition
Date: Oct 11, 2005
Author: Robert M. Silverstein, Francis X. Webster, David Kiemle
First published over 40 years ago, this was the first text on the identification of organic compounds using spectroscopy. This text is now considered to be a classic. The key strength of this text is the extensive set of real-data problems (in Chapters 7 and 8). Even professional chemists use these spectra as reference data. Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds is written by and for organic chemists, and emphasizes the synergistic effect resulting from the interplay of the spectra. This...

Optics and Spectroscopy at Surfaces and Interfaces
Date: Sep 30, 2005
Author: Vladimir G. Bordo, Horst-Günter Rubahn
This book covers linear and nonlinear optics as well as optical spectroscopy at solid surfaces and at interfaces between a solid and a liquid or gas. The authors give a concise introduction to the physics of surfaces and interfaces. They discuss in detail physical properties of solid surfaces and of their interfaces to liquids and gases and provide the theoretical background for understanding various optical techniques. The major part of the book is dedicated to a broad review on optical techniques and...

Dictionary of Microscopy
Date: Aug 5, 2005
Author: Julian P. Heath
The past decade has seen huge advances in the application of microscopy in all areas of science. This welcome development in microscopy has been paralleled by an expansion of the vocabulary of technical terms used in microscopy: terms have been coined for new instruments and techniques and, as microscopes reach even higher resolution, the use of terms that relate to the optical and physical principles underpinning microscopy is now commonplace. The Dictionary of Microscopy was compiled to meet this...
