This practical guide to spectroscopy and inorganic materials meets the demand
from academia and the science community for an introductory text that introduces
the different optical spectroscopic techniques, used in many laboratories, for
material characterisation.Treats the most basic aspects to be introduced into
the field of optical spectroscopy of inorganic materials, enabling a student to
interpret simple optical (absorption, reflectivity, emission and scattering)
spectraContains simple, illustrative examples and solved exercisesCovers the
theory, instrumentation and applications of spectroscopy for the
characterisation of inorganic materials, including lasers, phosphors and optical
materials such as photonicsThis is an ideal beginner's guide for students with
some previous knowledge in quantum mechanics and optics, as
