Modern Spectroscopy

Modern Spectroscopy is a clearly written and up-to-date text aimed mainly at an undergraduate audience in chemistry, physics and chemical physics. The book introduces the reader to a wide range of spectroscopies, including the background theory and the applications to structure determination and chemical analysis. It covers rotational, vibrational, electronic, photoelectron and Auger spectroscopy, as well as EXAFS, the theory of lasers and laser spectroscopy. A special feature of this book is the inclusion of the more modern aspects of spectroscopy, and such subjects as Doppler-free spectroscopy, interferometry and applications in astrophysics are covered.
