Principles of Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy (Oxford Series on Optical and Imaging Sciences)

Principles of Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy
(Oxford Series on Optical and Imaging Sciences)

by Shaul Mukamel
This textbook presents a systematic and unifying viewpoint for a wide class of nonlinear spectroscopic techniques in time domain and frequency domain. It is directed towards active researchers in physics, optics, chemistry, and materials science, as well as graduate students who enter this complex and rapidly developing field.
Nonlinear optical interactions of laser fields with matter provide powerful spectroscopic tools for the understanding of microscopic interactions and dynamic processes. One of the major obstacles facing researchers in this field, however, is the flood of experimental techniques and terminologies, which create a serious language barrier. The general microscopic correlation function approach to the nonlinear optical response developed in this book is essential for understanding the relationships among different techniques and a comparison of their information content, the design of new measurements, and for a systematic comparison of the optical response of d...

Principles of Instrumental Analysis, 5th Edition

Principles of Instrumental Analysis, 5th Edition

by Douglas A. Skoog
This text is written for a course that deals with the principles and applications of modern analytical instruments. Emphasis is placed upon the theoretical basis of each type of instrument, its optimal area of application, its sensitivity, its precision, and its limitations. The text also introduces students to elementary integrated circuitry, microprocessors and computers, and treatment of analytical data.

Principles of Electron Spin Resonance (Ellis Horwood Series in Physical Chemistry)

Principles of Electron Spin Resonance
(Ellis Horwood Series in Physical Chemistry)

by N. M. Atherton
After a general introduction to the subject of electron spin resonance, Professor Atherton moves on to discuss the factors determining the transition frequencies, such as the eigenvalues of the time-averaged Hamiltonian. As well as explaining how to obtain the various sorts of spin Hamiltonian parameters from the spectra, their interpretation using the quantum theory of molecular electronic structure is discussed. The second half of the book deals with the manifestations of the time-dependence of the Hamiltonian, that is, with relaxation, and includes new material on saturation-transfer spectroscopy, pulsed ESR and CIDEP. Throughout the book Professor Atherton adopts an integrated approach discussing conventional ESR measurements along with multiple resonance methods (in particular, ENDOR).
