Book Description

ISBN-10: 047152509X | ISBN-13: 978-0471525097 | Publication Date: August 1990 | Edition: Volume 5

In Volume 5 the series Physical Methods of Chemistry turns its attention to methods that are used primarily to determine structure in solids, mostly crystalline solids. The techniques used range from those such as X-ray diffraction, which is applicable to the long-range structure of the perfect crystal; to those probing the local order in less perfect crystals; to the magnetic spectroscopies, which are used mostly to study the immediate environment of impurities on defects. Chapters have been written by world-class authors who are widely recognised in their fields.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Each volume of this series heralds profound changes in both the perception and practice of chemistry. This edition presents the state of the art of all important methods of instrumental chemical analysis, measurement and control. Contributions offer introductions together with sufficient detail to give a clear understanding of basic theory and apparatus involved and an appreciation of the value, potential and limitations of the respective techniques. The emphasis of the subjects treated is on method rather than results, thus aiding the investigator in applying the techniques successfully in the laboratory.
