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?

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
