5.0 out of 5 stars a masterpiece, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Photoelectron Spectroscopy: Principles and Applications (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences) (Hardcover)

A book by a master of the field, a comprehensive reference for experts, yet a lucid guide for novices. This true delight to readers will become the standard citation in scientific papers in the next 20 years.

This review is from: Photoelectron Spectroscopy: Principles and Applications (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences) (Hardcover)

A very practical treatment of the PE spectroscopic techniques. Includes a lot of analysis of actual PE spectra. This book is full of valuable insights into this process. A must read for anybody seriously into the field.

This book really proves the fact that the author is the master of this field. Being a comprehensive text, it touches almost every aspect of "photoelectron studies". A large number of examples are taken from many recent research papers, which is the bonus of the 3rd edition. There is a well-balanced treatise of theory and applications with insightful comments.
