Book Description
Of related interest…Radiochemistry and Nuclear Methods of Analysis William D. Ehmann and Diane Vance Here is a concise review of the state of the art in radio chemistry and nuclear methods of analysis. It provides a thorough look at the fundamentals of radiochemistry as well as the specific applications of nuclear techniques to analytical chemistry. There is also considerable coverage of the current nuclear methods of analysis such as neutron activation PIXE, nuclear reaction analysis, Rutherford backscattering, isotope dilution, and more. This comprehensive reference would form an excellent basic text for upper-division undergraduate or graduate courses in this critical field. 1991 (0 471-60076-8) 552 pp. Analytical Raman Spectroscopy Edited by Jeanette G. Grasselli and Bernard J. Bulkin Analytical Raman Spectroscopy charts, through a series of contributed articles, the spectacular versatility of the method and its applications in semiconductor characterization, synthetic organic polymer analysis, organic and petrochemical analysis, heterogeneous catalysts, and biological studies. Chapters feature an outline structure which systematically details the critical aspects of each subject discussed. The book provides a unique look at the field's fundamental operational techniques, instrumentation, and up-to-the-minute advances: components of modern Raman spectrometers; Raman spectroscopy of inorganic species in solution; quantitative analysis by Raman spectroscopy; and much more. 1991 (0 471-51955-3) 480 pp. Principles and Practice of Spectroscopic Calibration Howard Mark Clearly linking theory with applications, this unique guide to spectroscopic calibration advances an approach that is understandable, free of the usual uncertainties, and simple to execute. The book details the practical aspects of generating a calibration equation, as well as the basics of recognizing and dealing with different types of problems affecting calibration. Most of the procedures are applicable to such sophisticated and popular approaches as Principal Component Calibration (PCA), Partial Least Squares Calibration (PLS), and Fourier Transform Calibration. 1991 (0 471-54614-3) 208 pp.

Activation spectrometry is the combination of neutron activation and gamma ray spectrometry, and forms the basis of most work in the field of activation analysis. Principles and techniques are discussed as well as their applications in areas such as geology, chemistry, biology, physics, biomedicine, archaeology, environmental studies, and industry.
