X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy for the Chemical and Materials Sciences is a comprehensive guide that explores the principles and applications of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in the field of chemistry and materials science. The book covers the theoretical background of XAS, including the physics of X-ray absorption and the interpretation of XAS data. It also delves into the various experimental techniques used in XAS, such as X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS).
The content of the book includes detailed discussions on how XAS can be used to study the electronic structure, coordination environment, and bonding properties of various elements in different chemical and materials systems. It also highlights the applications of XAS in areas such as catalysis, environmental science, and nanotechnology.
X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy for the Chemical and Materials Sciences provides a thorough overview of the theory, techniques, and applications of XAS, making it a valuable resource for researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of chemistry and materials science.
This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
