Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry, Three-Volume Set [Englisch] [Gebundene Ausgabe]

"...The entries give short descriptions, references to classics in the field, and cross-references to other related techniques...There are many professionals trained at an earlier time or learning new fields who would profit from this set in their libraries." --CHOICE "...There are many professionals...who would profit from this set in their libraries." --CHOICE "In evaluating a work of this kind I find the means provided to locate information an important consideration...I would rate this effort as outstanding...I found the entries authoritative, with many written by the best-known workers in the field, and a good balance or both breadth and depth of coverage." --APPLIED SPECTROSCOPY

The Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry provides authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the whole topic of spectroscopy, from theory to applications.

The book is organised into numerous short articles, each covering one aspect of spectroscopy with a list of further reading at the end of each article facilitating further study. Great care hasd been taken to ensure that this encyclopedia is as user friendly as possible so that the reader can locate facts quickly and easily from the wealth of information provided.

In addition, buyers of the print version of this Encyclopedia are entitled to register for free online access to the electronic version of the Encyclopedia until the end of 1999.

Beginning January 1, 2000, buyers who wish to retain access to the electronic version will be charged a minimal annual maintenance fee.

"The Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry" provides authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the whole topic of spectroscopy, from theory to applications. Short articles, each covering one aspect of spectroscopy, provide the professional spectroscopist working in academia or industry with the essential facts and background on areas of spectroscopy peripheral to their own. A list of further reading at the end of each article directs the reader to the level of detail required for professional purposes. Articles are arranged alphabetically, each having been named to facilitate logical access by the reader.Each article is flagged as to which area of spectroscopy it covers ("Mass Spectroscopy," "Magnetic Resonance," etc.) and whether it covers theory, methods and instrumentation, or applications. Users can refer to an alphabetical article listing, or to a listing arranged according to subject area to locate articles. Further reading lists at the end of each article allow easy access to the primary literature. Extensive cross-referencing, a complete subject index, numerous figures, and color plates are included in each volume.

Initial access to the online version offering extensive hypertext linking and advanced search tools is available to buyers of the print edition.This title: contains nearly 300 articles covering the whole area of spectroscopy and related areas; provides the essential facts and background for each topic; includes reading lists in each article to help the reader access more detailed information; allows easy access to required information through alphabetical listings, extensive cross-referencing to related articles, and a detailed subject index in each volume; includes numerous figures and tables that illustrate the text; contains color plate sections in each volume; and, includes initial access to the online version with extensive hypertext linking and advanced search tools.

Authoritative and comprehensive coverage
The Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry provides authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the whole topic of spectroscopy from theory to applications. Subjects such as mass spectrometry and scattering phenomena utilise many principles of spectroscopy, and are so closely related in the perception of the user that they are included in this work.

The three-volume set contains approximately 330 different articles in the following areas of spectroscopy: Atomic spectroscopy Electronic spectroscopy Fundamentals in spectroscopy High energy spectroscopy Magnetic resonance Mass spectrometry Spatially resolved spectroscopic analysis Vibrational, rotational, and raman spectroscopy

The articles cover rigorous descriptions of the theoretical background to spectroscopy and to each spectroscopic technique; up-to-date descriptions and explanations of instruments and technology; current applications; and history of important areas of spectroscopy. The work addresses a wide audience of academic and professional spectroscopists and undergraduate and post-graduate students.

Users can refer to an alphabetical article listing, or to a listing arranged according to subject area, to locate articles. Further reading lists at the end of each article allow easy access to the primary literature. Extensive cross-referencing, a complete subject index, numerous figures, and colour plates are included in each volume. An online version offering extensive hypertext linking and advanced search tools is available.
