Physical Methods of Chemistry, Investigations of Surfaces and Interfaces / Edition 2

by Bryant W. Rossiter, Roger C. Baetzold

Overview

Each volume of this series heralds profound changes in both the perception and practice of chemistry. This edition presents the state of the art of all important methods of instrumental chemical analysis, measurement and control. Contributions offer introductions together with sufficient detail to give a clear understanding of basic theory and apparatus involved and an appreciation of the value, potential and limitations of the respective techniques. The emphasis of the subjects treated is on method rather than results, thus aiding the investigator in applying the techniques successfully in the laboratory.

Editorial Reviews

This is the second of two volumes entitled Investigations of Surfaces and Interfaces. Interfaces involving solid, liquid, or gaseous surfaces are considered. The techniques surveyed range from newly developed methods to those that are achieving a degree of maturity, but are in common use in laboratories primarily concerned with surface studies. Chapters are written by authors who are widely recognized in their fields, and are directed to professional scientists who are interested in obtaining information provided by the technique, but who may not be expert in the use of the method. In each case, the authors supply, either in the text or through liberal reference to the scientific literature, sufficient information for investigators to apply the techniques successfully in the laboratory.
