Applied Many-Body Methods in Spectroscopy and Electronic Structure
by D Mukherjee
Rudolph Mossbauer discovered the phenomenon of recoil-free nuclear resonance fluorescence in 1957-58 and the first indications of hyperfine interactions in a chemical compound were obtained by Kistner and Sunyar in 1960. From these beginnings the technique of Mossbauer spectroscopy rapidly emerged and the astonishing versatility of this new technique soon led to its extensive application to a wide variety of chemical and solid-state problems. This book reviews the results obtained by Mossbauer s...

Spectra and Dynamics of Diatomic Molecules
by Helene Lefebvre-Brion and Robert W. Field
This book is written for graduate students just beginning research, for theorists curious about what experimentalists actually can and do measure, and for experimentalists bewildered by theory. It is a guide for potential users of spectroscopic data, and uses language and concepts that bridge the frequency-and time-domain spectroscopic communities. Key topics, concepts, and techniques include: the assignment of simple spectra, basic experimental techniques, definition of Born-Oppenheimer and...
The isolation and structural characterization of substances present at very low concentrations, as is necessary to satisfy regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical drug degradants and impurities, can present scientific challenges. The coupling of HPLC with NMR spectroscopy has been at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies to address these issues. LC-NMR: Expanding the Limits of Structure Elucidation presents a comprehensive overview of key concepts in HPLC and NMR that are required to ach...
Cyclodextrin Materials Photochemistry, Photophysics and Photobiology provides to the scientific community the state-of-the art on photochemistry, photophysics and photobiology of cyclodextrin complexes in one book, and the chapters material will trigger further research in applied science connected to these small nanocapsules. The chapters contain a large number of information of value not only to readers working in the field of cyclodextrins, but also to researchers working on related areas li...
The Second Edition of the Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry pulls key information into a single source for quick access to answers and/or in-depth examination of topics. "SPEC-2" covers theory, methods, and applications for researchers, students, and professionals-combining proven techniques and new insights for comprehensive coverage of the field. The content is available in print and online via ScienceDirect, the latter of which offers optimal flexibility, accessibility, and usabil...
Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
These are the proceedings of the SIMS VII, which was the seventh in a series of conferences held biennially. It was dedicated to the memory of Donald E. Harrison, Jr and his pioneering research in the mechanisms of ion beam sputtering and in the use of molecular dynamics simulations for the study of ion bombardment of solids. Other than the Harrison memorial papers, speakers at the conference covered three other major areas. These were: organic and biological analyses; enhancement techniques; an...
This volume describes and integrates the techniques and fundamentals of more than a decade of revolutionary advances in both chromatographic and mass spectrometric technologies that have enabled the direct investigation of biomacromolecules per se and have provided the analytical power base to usher in the new fields of proteomics and systems biology. It also covers new biophysical applications such as H/D exchange for study of conformations, protein-protein and protein-metal and ligand inter...

Semimagnetic Semiconductors and Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors (Ettore Majorana International Science, #55)
Semimagnetic semiconductors (SMSC) and diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) have in the past decade attracted considerable attention because they confer many new physical properties on both bulk materials and heterostructures. These new effects are due either to exchange interactions between magnetic moments on magnetic ions, or to exchange interactions between magnetic moments and the spin of the charge carrier. These effects vary with the transition metal (Mn, Fe, Co) or rare earth (Eu, Gd, e...
Proceedings of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Nonlinear Superconductive Electronics and of the Second Workshop on Josephson Devices, held jointly in Capri, Italy, September 1990.

It may be argued that silicon, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and iron are among the most important elements on our planet, because of their involvement in geological, biol- ical, and technological processes and phenomena. All of these elements have been studied exhaustively, and voluminous material is available on their properties. Included in this material are numerous accounts of their electrochemical properties, ranging from reviews to extensive monographs to encyclopedic discourses. This is cert...
Steroids are of considerable therapeutic importance and play a substantial role in endocrinology, a medicine branch dealing with disorder of the endocrine system, an integrated system of small organs that involve the release of extracellular signaling molecules known as hormones. On the other hand, steroids are increasingly being abused for performance enhancement by professional athletes, Olympians and even amateurs. The identification of small amounts of steroids in body fluids is an analytica...
