Molecular Spectroscopy

Download or read book Molecular Spectroscopy written by Jeanne L. McHale and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook offers an introduction to the foundations of spectroscopic methods and provides a bridge between basic concepts and experimental applications in fields as diverse as materials science, biology, solar energy conversion, and environmental science. The author emphasizes the use of time-dependent theory to link the spectral response in the frequency domain to the behavior of molecules in the time domain, strengthened by two brand new chapters on nonlinear optical spectroscopy and time-resolved spectroscopy. Theoretical underpinnings are presented to the extent necessary for readers to understand how to apply spectroscopic tools to their own interests.
