Description
This textbook offers an introduction to the foundations of spectroscopic methods and provides a bridge between basic concepts and experimental applications in fields as diverse as materials science, biology, solar energy conversion, and environmental science. The author emphasizes the use of time-dependent theory to link the spectral response in the frequency domain to the behavior of molecules in the time domain, strengthened by two brand new chapters on nonlinear optical spectroscopy and time-resolved spectroscopy. Theoretical underpinnings are presented to the extent necessary for readers to understand how to apply spectroscopic tools to their own interests.
About the Author
Jeanne L. McHale is Professor Emerita at Washington State University, where her research is devoted to the study of molecular aggregates and nanomaterials relevant to solar energy conversion. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the author or coauthor of more than 100 publications. In addition to Molecular Spectroscopy, she co-edited the Handbook of Luminescent Semiconductor Materials with Leah Bergman, published by Taylor & Francis in 2011.
Reviews
