Handbook of Mineral Spectroscopy, Volume 1: X-ray Photoelectron Spectra presents a database of X-ray Photoelectron spectra showing both survey (with chemical analysis) and high-resolution spectra of more than 200 rock-forming and major ore minerals. XPS of minerals is a very powerful technique for analyzing not only the chemical composition of minerals – including, for other techniques, difficult elements such as F and Cl, but also the local environment of atoms in a crystal structure. The book includes a section on silicates and on non-silicates, and is further subdivided according to the normal mineral classes.- Brings together and expands upon the limited information available on the XPS of minerals into one handbook- Features 2,500 full color, X-ray Photoelectron survey and high-resolution Spectra for use by researchers in the lab and as a reference- Includes the chemical information of each mineral- Written by experts with more than 50 years of combined mineral spectroscopy experience
