Spectrochemical analysis

Book ·
OSTI ID:5298199
It has been at least five years since a textbook devoted to optical spectroscopy was available, and this text admirably fills the void. It unquestionably fulfills its stated goal of providing a thorough treatment of the fundamental principles, methodology, and instrumentation common to analytical optical methods. The first six chapters provide a detailed description of the instrumental aspects of optical spectroscopy. Much of this material cannot be found in more general textbooks on instrumental analytical chemistry, and what can be found elsewhere is generally covered at a less advanced level. The remainder of the book is divided largely into atomic and molecular spectroscopy. The introductory chapters on each area (Chapters 7 and 12) are comprehensive and lucid. The chapters on atomic spectroscopy (Chapters 8-11) and molecular (Chapters, 13, 15, and 16) spectroscopy in the UV-vis regions of the spectrum cover all the important techniques at a rigorous level, testifying to the authors experience in these areas.
