Synopsis

Modern Spectroscopy is a clearly written and up-to-date text aimed mainly at an undergraduate audience in chemistry, physics and chemical physics. The book introduces the reader to a wide range of spectroscopies, including the background theory and the applications to structure determination and chemical analysis. It covers rotational, vibrational, electronic, photoelectron and Auger spectroscopy, as well as EXAFS, the theory of lasers and laser spectroscopy. A special feature of this book is the inclusion of the more modern aspects of spectroscopy, and such subjects as Doppler-free spectroscopy, interferometry and applications in astrophysics are covered.

About this title

Review:

"Two valuable features for both students and instructors are a strong final chapter on Lasers and Laser Spectroscopy, and a set of 17 worked examples " ( Journal of Chemical Education, January 2005)

" a good reference for those interested in basic theories behind general spectroscopic techniques. I welcome its presence in my professional library." (Clinical Chemistry, December 2004)

" this text is well written and the descriptions relating theory to phenomena are clear and well constructed. The book achieves its goal as a well–rounded textbook." (Applied Spectroscopy, August 2004)

From the Back Cover:

The fourth edition of Modern Spectroscopy introduces the reader to a wide range of spectroscopies and includes both the background theory and applications to structure determination and chemical analysis. It covers rotational, vibrational, electronic, photoelectron and Auger spectroscopy, as well as EXAFS, and the theory of lasers and laser spectroscopy.

New material includes laser detection and ranging (LIDAR), cavity ring–down spectroscopy, femtosecond lasers, femtosecond spectroscopy and very high resolution fluorescence of large molecules. In addition, the clarity of figures has been greatly improved and Professor Ben van der Veken at the University of Antwerp has run some new infrared spectra especially for this new edition.

A revised and updated edition of a successful, clearly written textbook Modern Spectroscopy, Fourth Edition:

• includes the latest developments in modern laser techniques.
• contains a discussion of molecular symmetry.
• provides numerous worked examples, calculations and questions at the end of chapters.
• improved clarity of many of the figures

Written by an author with many years teaching and research experience, Modern Spectroscopy, Fourth Edition will prove invaluable for students of chemistry, physics, and chemical physics studying atomic and molecular spectroscopy, lasers and laser spectroscopy, and molecular symmetry.
