Physical Methods of Chemistry, Determination of Chemical Composition and Molecular Structure

Each volume of this series heralds profound changes in both the perception and practice of chemistry. This edition presents the state of the art of all important methods of instrumental chemical analysis, measurement and control. Contributions offer introductions together with sufficient detail to give a clear understanding of basic theory and apparatus involved and an appreciation of the value, potential and limitations of the respective techniques. The emphasis of the subjects treated is on method rather than results, thus aiding the investigator in applying the techniques successfully in the laboratory.

Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy (J. Durig and J. Sullivan). Diffuse X-ray Scattering (R. Scaringe and R. Comes). Atomic Spectrometric Methods (Winefordner and M. Epstein). Neutron Activation Analysis (V. Guinn). Mass Spectroscopy (J. Roboz). X-ray Fluorescence and Energy Dispersive Analysis (L. Birks and J.Gilfrich). Radiotracer Techniques (G. Choppin and J. Rydberg).
