This text develops photochemical and photophysical concepts from a set of familiar principles. Principles of Molecular Photochemistry provides in-depth coverage of electronic spin, the concepts of electronic energy transfer and electron transfer, and the progress made in theoretical and experimental electron transfer.
Explains the basic principles and applications of the primary areas of nuclear and radiochemistry. This title includes nuclear medicine and chemical aspects of nuclear power plants, namely the problems of nuclear wastes and nuclear analysis (both bulk and surface analysis), with analytical methods based on interactions of radiation with matter.
Radiochemistry or Nuclear Chemistry is the study of radiation from an atomic or molecular perspective. This edition brings into teaching the developments in research and the hot topics in the field. It is suitable for both radiochemistry and nuclear chemistry courses.
This volume serves as a comprehensive collection of current trends and emerging hot topics in the field of fluorescence spectroscopy. It summarizes the year's progress in fluorescence and its applications as well as includes authoritative analytical reviews.
Principles and Applications of Photochemistry provides a modern introduction to photochemistry, which starts by covering the principles, and then moves on to cover the applications. The many and varied applications are drawn from such diverse subjects as lasers, the atmosphere, biochemistry, medicine and industry.
Covers topics ranging from the historical perspective, instrumentation of accelerators in the nanosecond to femtosecond region, through the use of radiation chemical methods in the study of antioxidants and nanomaterials, to ultrafast events in free electron transfer, and radiation-induced processes at solid-liquid interfaces.
Photoluminescence (abbreviated as PL) is a process in which a substance absorbs photons (electromagnetic radiation) and then radiates photons back out. Quantum mechanically, this can be described as an excitation to a higher energy state and then a return to a lower energy state accompanied by the emission of a photon.
This book shows how cosmogenic radionuclides can trace and reconstruct the history of a variety of processes. Demonstrates the strength of analytic tools based on cosmogenic radionuclides, and their potential use in solving present and future problems.
Marie Curie had one of the finest scientific minds of the 20th century, overturning established ideas in and chemistry. This book tells the story of her early life in which she worked as a governess to support her sister during medical school, through to her later life, as the first person ever honoured with Nobel Prizes in two different sciences.
Examines the fundamentals and applications of the interactions of charged particles and photons with matter in all phases of aggregation. This title presents a description of these interactions and discuss radiation and photon interaction in more complex systems.
