    Book SynopsisThe main aim of this unique book is to introduce the student to spectroscopy in a clear manner which avoids, as far as possible, the mathematical aspects of the subject. It is thus intended for first or second year undergraduates, particularly those with minimal mathematics qualifications. After explaining the theory behind spectroscopy, the book then goes on to look at the different techniques, such as rotational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. It encompasses both high resolution (structural) and low resolution (analytical) spectroscopy, demonstrating their close interrelationship. The many worked problems make this book particularly appealing for independent study. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major new series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underTrade ReviewFills an important gap....clearly written and is pitched at just the right level for under-graduate chemistry students in the early years of their degree studies.An ideal introductory text for undergraduate students, and I hope that many students, and I hope that many students will use it to supplement their existing general text books of physical chemistry. * Angewandte Chemie, International Edition, 2004, 43, 5117-5118 (David Smith) *A useful companion to the undergraduate learning experience. The book will also provide a good recap in the subject for those who want to take their study on to postgraduate level. * Education in Chemistry, September 2004 issue (Matthew Ingram) *"... accessible to the average Advanced level student, and ... will greatly interest students intending to go on and study chemistry at university. * School Science Review, Issue No 308, 2003 *"This is an excellent book, and is great value-for-money. I will be prescribing Holla's text for my students. This ends a search for a suitable spectroscopy text, which has lasted several years. I highly recommend the book to you as a class text. It would also be a worthwhile addition to the departmental library or your personal reference library." * Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, No 6, June 2003 *Table of ContentsWhat is Spectroscopy?; The Electromagnetic Spectrum; Quantization and the Hydrogen Atom; Quantization in Polyelectronic Atoms; Electronic States of Diatomic and Polyatomic Molecules; Molecular Vibrations; Molecular Rotation; How Spectra are Obtained; Rotational Spectroscopy; Vibrational Spectroscopy; Electronic Spectroscopy; Answers to problems; Further Reading; Subject Index.

    Book SynopsisDrawing on the author's practical work from the last 20 years, Techniques in High Pressure Neutron Scattering is one of the first books to gather recent methods that allow neutron scattering well beyond 10 GPa. The author shows how neutron scattering has to be adapted to the pressure range and type of measurement.Suitable for both newcomers and experienced high pressure scientists and engineers, the book describes various solutions spanning two to three orders of magnitude in pressure that have emerged in the past three decades. Many engineering concepts are illustrated through examples of real high pressure devices that have demonstrated their capacity and have produced scientific results.After introducing basic engineering concepts related to the elastic and plastic behavior of cylindrical pressure devices, the text emphasizes mechanical and neutronic properties of construction materials. Subsequent chapters describe numerous high pressTrade ReviewI was delighted when I learnt that Stefan Klotz was writing this book. He has an exceptional depth of knowledge and experience of high-pressure techniques, particularly as applied to neutron scattering, and it is to be greatly welcomed that he has drawn this all together and made it available. … After his 20 years at the centre of this field, there can be no one better placed to provide an authoritative and comprehensive account of state-of-the-art techniques for high-pressure neutron scattering, including all the major contemporary experimental techniques.

    Book SynopsisThis concise and carefully developed text offers a reader friendly guide to the basics of time-resolved spectroscopy with an emphasis on experimental implementation. The authors carefully explain and relate for the reader how measurements are connected to the core physical principles. They use the time-dependent wave packet as a building block for understanding quantum dynamics, progressively advancing to more complex topics. The topics are discussed in paired sections, one discussing the theory and the next presenting the related experimental methods.A wide range of readers including students and newcomers to the field will gain a clear and practical understanding of how to measure aspects of molecular dynamics such as wave packet motion, intramolecular vibrational relaxation, and electron-electron coupling, and how to describe such measurements mathematically.Trade Review"Weinacht and Pearson have produced a simple and direct introduction to the modern methods and motivations of ultrafast science, intended as a first text for students and scholars interested in this field. The chapter sections interleave physical concepts such as wave packets, correlated motion, or quantum tunneling with clear descriptions of the techniques that ultrafast optical scientists have developed in the last two decades, including the sources and tools of the trade. The result is an excellent introduction and practical guide to time resolved measurements." --Philip H. Bucksbaum, Marguerite Blake Wilbur Chair and Professor of Photon Science, Applied Physics, and Physics, Stanford University"How do I measure a ‘molecular movie’? Which observables do I obtain and how can they be interpreted? To answer these questions, a deeper understanding of the physics and the underlying models and assumptions, as well as the experimental techniques is essential.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisHigh resolution Fourier transform spectra of linear molecules have evoked a great deal of interest during the last several years, which could be seen from the several hundreds of papers published in the journal on the spectra of diatomic and small linear polyatomic molecules. This book describes the advantages of FT Spectroscopy, the techniques employed in absorption and emission spectroscopy, and presents the theoretical models and formulas used in the analyses and interpretation of the spectra. The Perturbations observed in the spectra due to Fermi, Darling-Dennison, Coriolis, and other anharmonic resonances; and vibrational and rotational l-type resonances etc. are discussed with suitable examples. The types of information obtained from FT spectroscopy of two to ten atomic linear molecules, their observed transitions and spectral perturbation etc. are presented along with figures and curves.
