Spectroscopy

This book provides a novel view of spectroscopic methods: it describes spectroscopy holistically in terms of integral physical aspects instead of the classical methodic order according to wavelengths. The book introduces the reader to UV/Vis, NIR, IR, ESR, and NMR spectroscopy. These methods and their common physical basis, namely the reversible absorption of energy from the respective region of the electromagnetic spectrum, are illustrated in a comprehensive manner with the help of a multitude of explicative colored graphics.
