Electronic and Photoelectron Spectroscopy: Fundamentals and Case Studies - Hardcover

Review of the hardback: '... this book is a light, readable and valuable introduction to the detailed and exciting world of electronic and photoelectron spectroscopy.' Chemistry World

Review of the hardback: 'This book is not only a useful book for a reasonable price, it is a very good book for graduate students in physical chemistry and all those who want to be introduced in modern spectroscopic techniques, and the results which may be obtained by these techniques. This book is a very helpful introduction into modern spectroscopy which guides the reader properly from the basic concepts to advanced principles. The book can be recommended not only for graduate students but also for all those who are engaging in teaching spectroscopy.' Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie

Electronic and photoelectron spectroscopy can provide extraordinarily detailed information on the properties of molecules and are in widespread use in the physical and chemical sciences. Applications extend beyond spectroscopy into important areas such as chemical dynamics, kinetics and atmospheric chemistry. This book aims to provide the reader with a firm grounding of the basic principles and experimental techniques employed. The extensive use of case studies effectively illustrates how spectra are assigned and how information can be extracted, communicating the matter in a compelling and instructive manner. Topics covered include laser-induced fluorescence, resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization, cavity ringdown and ZEKE spectroscopy. The volume is for advanced undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in spectroscopy and will also be useful to anyone encountering electronic and/or photoelectron spectroscopy during their research.
