Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy: Basic Aspects and Practical Applications (Advanced Texts in Physics) [Paperback]

Sune Svanberg (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 3540203826 | ISBN-13: 978-3540203827 | Publication Date: February 12, 2004 | Edition: 4th

A wide-ranging review of modern spectroscopic techniques such as X-ray, photoelectron, optical and laser spectroscopy, and radiofrequency and microwave techniques. On the fundamental side the book focuses on physical principles and the impact of spectroscopy on our understanding of the building blocks of matter, while in the area of applications particular attention is given to those in chemical analysis, photochemistry, surface characterisation, environmental and medical diagnostics, remote sensing and astrophyscis. The Fourth Edition also provides the reader with an update on laser cooling and trapping, Bose-Einstein condensation, ultra-fast spectroscopy, high-power laser/matter interaction, satellite-based astronomy and spectroscopic aspects of laser medicine.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews of the fourth edition: "The strength of Svanberg’s book is in its focus on practical spectroscopy, preferring to illustrate a catalogue of techniques by showcasing real experiments from the literature with detailed descriptions of each backed by appropriate figures and providing the reader with a wealth of references … to key papers rather than concentrating on heavy mathematical detail. … continues to be one of a small number of leading texts on the illustration on the practice of A & M spectroscopy." (Dr. J.T. Costello, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 46 (1), 2005)

This review is from: Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy: Basic Aspects and Practical Applications (Advanced Texts in Physics) (Paperback)

if you want to study spectorscopy includ its principle and application, i am sure this is want you need~ it tell you many things that follow almost the same back principle, and show u the magic physics world.
