Modern Spectroscopy

By J. Hollas

In the Second Edition, the author has considerably expanded Fourier transformation techniques in spectroscopy and introduces Fourier transform Raman methods. Current coverage includes X-ray fluorescence and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy; the relationship between symmetry and chirality; inversion, ring-puckering and torsional vibrations--including some potential functions examples; alexandrite and titanium-sapphire lasers and more. Every chapter includes extensive questions and bibliographies.

Modern Spectroscopy

Quick delivery. Quality product. Great source of technical information. Good value for the money. I am very happy with this purchase.

Excellent and well organized spectroscopy book

The books reviews all the fundamental concepts on molecular spectroscopy. The chapter on quantum mechanics is well organized, and introduces the reader into the tools necessary for understanding the logic behind molecular spectroscopy. Simple, clear and easy to follow. The way the book is organized is also very good, from general/simple to specific/complex, so it's suitable for undergraduate students and all type of scientists.

it is a great book

This a great book about spectroscopy. The balance between experiment method/data/figure and theory description is just so good that I got a lot of understanding that I didn't get from other book.

The Best Book of its Type

Even if beginning with only an introductory understanding of quantum mechanics, this excellent book will allow you to understand most major branches of spectroscopy. The chapters are organized to include reasonable amounts of both theory and show real spectra to help use the theory in the context of real research. One of the earlier chapters includes a review/primer on group theory and the remaining chapters can be understood with the group theory presented in that chapter. This book is therefore suitable as a text and is also very usefull as a reference.
