Description
Book SynopsisWritten by an author internationally renowned in the field of molecular spectroscopy, this book provides an up-to-date account of the new experimental and theoretical methods on the high resolution infrared spectroscopy of small molecules. The approach uses a visual approach to spectral analysis, containing large numbers of energy level diagrams and spectra specra to show the progress in identification and line assignment.
Covering new and important techniques on laser and Fourier Transform, it also contains both theoretical and experimental chapters.
Divided into 3 parts, features covered in the first part include:
* Calculations of the vibration-rotation energy levels of rigid and non-rigid molecules
* Calculations of the intensities of vibration-rotation transitions
* Introduction to linear and non-linear molecular spectroscopy
* Use of interferometric and laser spectrometers for measuring infrared spectra
