An Introduction to the Optical Spectroscopy of Inorganic Solids cover

This practical guide to spectroscopy and inorganic materials meets the demand from academia and the science community for an introductory text that introduces the different optical spectroscopic techniques, used in many laboratories, for material characterisation.

  • Treats the most basic aspects to be introduced into the field of optical spectroscopy of inorganic materials, enabling a student to interpret simple optical (absorption, reflectivity, emission and scattering) spectra
  • Contains simple, illustrative examples and solved exercises
  • Covers the theory, instrumentation and applications of spectroscopy for the characterisation of inorganic materials, including lasers, phosphors and optical materials such as photonics

This is an ideal beginner’s guide for students with some previous knowledge in quantum mechanics and optics, as well as a reference source for professionals or researchers in materials science, especially the growing field of optical materials.

"This is a useful book for an undergraduate or an early-stage postgraduate course in spectroscopy." (Reviews, June 2008)

"[allows] students with a background in quantum physics and solid state physics, to interpret simple optical spectra…and obtain knowledge of the main instrumentation used in this field." (Chimie Nouvelle, March 2007)
