Spectroscopy

German Edition »

This book provides a novel view of spectroscopic methods: it describes spectroscopy holistically in terms of integral physical aspects instead of the classical methodic order according to wavelengths. The book introduces the reader to UV/Vis, NIR, IR, ESR, and NMR spectroscopy. These methods and their common physical basis, namely the reversible absorption of energy from the respective region of the electromagnetic spectrum, are illustrated in a comprehensive manner with the help of a multitude of explicative colored graphics.

"A remarkable and exceptional book ... Why has no one before ventured such an integral description?"
(from the Preface by Richard R. Ernst, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1991)
