Please recommend textbooks or websites on spectroscopy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding resources for understanding the basic concepts of spectroscopy, a vast field with various specialized areas such as nuclear magnetic spectroscopy, force spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Participants emphasize the importance of specificity when seeking information, as the field is broad and can be overwhelming. One user mentions having a book on microwave spectroscopy, explaining that it focuses on how materials interact with electromagnetic radiation, particularly in gases, and highlights its relevance in astrophysics and telecommunications. A suggestion is made to explore the website spectroscopynow.com for additional resources.

hey everybody,
please suggest some good books and online websites for basic concepts of spectroscopy

That's a huge field, with specialized information for various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. (Nuclear) Magnetic spectroscopy is another huge field with it's own specialized techniques. There's also force spectrosopy, (time-dependent) fluorescence spectroscopy, and I'm sure many others.

First, you need to be more specific, otherwise you will get lost quickly.

What have you pulled off the shelf at your local library?

i have taken mircowave spectroscopy book.actually what is mircowave spectroscopy?
 
Microwave spectroscopy is like any other electromagnetic spectroscopy- one is interested in how materials interact with electromagnetic radiation over a certain waveband. Microwave spectroscopy is generally used for gases- the spectrum is very interesting because of the material properties probed (rotational transitions), the astrophysical relevance, and the ability to coherently manipulate the signal (i.e. control the phase). There's probably modern applications in telecommunications as well.
 


are u interested in any specific spectroscopy topic?

For the following four books, has anyone used them in a course or for self study? Compiler Construction Principles and Practice 1st Edition by Kenneth C Louden Programming Languages Principles and Practices 3rd Edition by Kenneth C Louden, and Kenneth A Lambert Programming Languages 2nd Edition by Allen B Tucker, Robert E Noonan Concepts of Programming Languages 9th Edition by Robert W Sebesta If yes to either, can you share your opinions about your personal experience using them. I...
Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
