Solid-State Spectroscopy An Introduction

From the reviews:PHYSICALIA "The fundamental idea of introducing students to a variety of different spectroscopic techniques is excellent and the book is a potential text for a course taught at the senior level or graduate level in a physics, chemistry, or materials science program. Each chapter is followed by several problems which should prove useful for teaching purposes...The reader will find extensive and up-to-date bibliography and references, as well as several appendices." CELLULAR & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY "This book gives an excellent overview on the most common techniques in use as well as in biophysics, in biochemistry and in cellular and molecular biology"From the reviews of the second edition:“This substantial book covers all the major spectroscopy techniques that are applied to materials characterisation in their solid-state. … this is a textbook probably aimed more at senior or graduate level classes … . Each chapter is also accompanied by an appendix, which provides supplemental information including derivatives of equations … and extended tables of data. … for anyone wanting a comprehensive text on spectroscopy this is certainly a good book to have on your bookshelf and a worthy second edition.” (David Bucknall, Contemporary Physics, July, 2012)
