    Book SynopsisPresents basic concepts, experimental methodology and data acquisition, and processing standards of in vivo NMR spectroscopy This book covers, in detail, the technical and biophysical aspects of in vivo NMR techniques and includes novel developments in the field such as hyperpolarized NMR, dynamic 13C NMR, automated shimming, and parallel acquisitions. Most of the techniques are described from an educational point of view, yet it still retains the practical aspects appreciated by experimental NMR spectroscopists. In addition, each chapter concludes with a number of exercises designed to review, and often extend, the presented NMR principles and techniques. The third edition of In Vivo NMR Spectroscopy: Principles and Techniques has been updated to include experimental detail on the developing area of hyperpolarization; a description of the semi-LASER sequence, which is now a method of choice; updated chemical shift data, includingTable of ContentsPreface xv Abbreviations xvii Supplementary Material xxiv 1 Basic Principles 1 1.1 Introduction 1 1.2

    Book SynopsisThis book is a well-established guide to the interpretation of the mass, ultraviolet, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of organic compounds. It is designed for students of organic chemistry taking a course in the application of these techniques to structure determination. The text also remains useful as a source of data for organic chemists to keep on their desks throughout their career. In the seventh edition, substantial portions of the text have been revised reflecting knowledge gained during the author's teaching experience over the last seven years. The chapter on NMR has been divided into two separate chapters covering the 1D and 2D experiments. The discussion is also expanded to include accounts of the physics at a relatively simple level, following the development of the magnetization vectors as each pulse sequence is introduced.

    Book SynopsisNuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a technique widely used for structure determination by chemists and biochemists, is based on the detection of tiny radio signals emitted by the nucleus of an atom when immersed in a strong magnetic field. Every chemical substance gives rise to a recognizable NMR signature closely related to its molecular structure. This comprehensive account adopts an accessible, pictorial approach to teach the fundamental principles of high resolution NMR. Mathematical formalism is used sparingly, and everyday analogies are used to provide insight into the physical behaviour of nuclear spins. The first three chapters set out the basic tools for understanding the rest of the book. Each of the remaining chapters provides a self- contained reference to a specific theme, for example spin echoes, and traces the way it influences our understanding of high resolution NMR methodology. Spin Choreography provides a clear and an authoritative introduction to the funTable of Contents1. Energy levels ; 2. Vector model ; 3. Product operator formalism ; 4. Spin echoes ; 5.

The three main topics are dichroism, elastic scattering (both non-resonant and resonant diffraction) and spectroscopy.Trade ReviewThis book provides a thorough introduction to both experimental and theretical issues that arise in investigations of materials using the methods of X-ray scattering and absorption * Zeitschrift fur Kristallographie *this monograph, addressing researchers in the field in an elegant, civilised but unpretentious and occasionally idiosyncratic style and vocabulary, sets a high standard for a proposed series on synchrotron radiation * Contemporary Physics Vol. 38 No.5 1997 *Firstly, it is suitable for anyone who would like to become acquainted with a new field of spectroscopy that has made sensational progress over the past decade and, secondly, it is a valuable reference book for those who are already familiar with the techniques... The first part incorporates a great deal of recent work along with many useful tips for the experimentalist and will be readily appreciated by the non-specialist reader... The strength and merit of this book is that both experimental and theoretical issues have been addressed and have been skilfully interwoven. In addition, although magnetic scattering is in the early stages of development, the book establishes a foundation on which further research can be built. * Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, vol. 5, part 3, May 1998 *It must surely play a part in raising the awareness of researchers in magnetism in the potential value of synchrotron-based techniques. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers with an interest in magnetic materials and for professionals who wish to consider the use of synchrotron radiation in their research...

Using up-to-date source material, this volume presents a compilation of the infrared absorption regions of ninety of the most important organic molecular fragments. This highly practical guide introduces the reader to a straightforward technique for determining all the fundamental vibrations of a molecular fragment. The set of normal vibrations and the infrared absorption regions of ninety molecular fragments are then discussed and tabulated. The discussion of each fragment is accompanied by a large number of references. A Guide to the Complete Interpretation of Infrared Spectra of Organic Structures offers the analytical chemist the possibility of a more profound interpretation of infrared spectra. In addition, it assumes only a basic knowledge of infrared spectra, and so will prove very useful for non-specialists who use infrared spectroscopy in analysis.Table of ContentsNormal Vibrations and Absorption Regions of CX3.

    Book SynopsisThis 1972 monograph is devoted to the analysis and interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of solid compounds, frequently used for their identification and characterization. It was thought unsatisfactory to analyse such spectra by the theory applicable to gas-phase samples, though this was frequently done. Furthermore, the results obtained by far infrared and laser Raman spectrometers, which detect the movement of atoms and/or molecules as a whole, had no gas-phase analogy. A separate approach to solid state vibrational spectra was therefore proposed within this volume. Dr Sherwood describes the solid state physics of vibrational spectroscopy and extends it to the more complex structures of low symmetry. He assumes an understanding of the infrared and Raman spectra of gases.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. Introduction; 2. Phonons and lattice vibrations; 3.

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"This thought-provoking and unique presentation of the semiclassical approach to quantum physics is by a grandmaster of the subject. All the explanations are original and the illustrations are beautiful. The subject deserves to be better known to researchers in physics and chemistry."—Michael Berry, University of Bristol"This book captures a lifetime of research, achievement, and deep understanding of the semiclassical approach to quantum mechanics. I know of no volume that covers the same eclectic mix of topics, and Heller's insights are invaluable. A heroic undertaking, this book will be a tremendous boon to many research fields."—Kieron Burke, University of California, Irvine"Among the books on quantum mechanics, this one is unique due to the originality of its content, presentation, and interpretation of the results. Heller succeeds in demonstrating remarkable and surprising connections between classical and quantum mechanics, which allows him to explain seemingly complicated quantum-mechanical phenomena in very simple terms. Filling an important gap in the field, this book will be welcome by specialists and nonspecialists alike."—Jiri Vanicek, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"From Photon to Neuron: Light, Imaging, Vision completes a trilogy begun by Biological Physics and Physical Models of Living Systems. Those works establish Nelson as the preeminent author of textbooks at the intersection of physics and biology. . . . Nelson uses words, pictures, formulas, and code to teach students how to construct models and interpret data. His books provide a master class in how to integrate those four different approaches into a complete learning experience."---Bradley Roth, Physics Today"A thorough and sweeping tour from the fundamental physics of light to the neurobiology of the retina, with many asides into modern advances in imaging. Lavishly illustrated and carefully explained. . . . The book itself is a gem."---Sönke Johnsen, American Journal of Physics"As elegant as it is deep. A masterful tour of the science of light and vision, it goes beyond artificial boundaries between disciplines and presents all aspects of light as it appears in physics, chemistry, biology and the neural sciences. . . . In the same way that the author instructs non-physics students in some basic physics concepts and tools, he also provides physicists with accessible and very clear presentations of many biological phenomena involving light. . . . One of the most insightful, cross-disciplinary texts I have read in many years. It is mesmerising and will become a landmark in rigorous, but highly accessible interdisciplinary literature."---Luis Alvarez-Gaumé, CERN Courier
