Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around recommendations for textbooks and online resources related to spectroscopy, covering various types and applications within the field.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests suggestions for books and websites on basic concepts of spectroscopy.
  • Another participant notes the vastness of the field, highlighting the need for specificity due to the various specialized areas such as nuclear magnetic spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy.
  • A participant mentions having a book on microwave spectroscopy and seeks clarification on what microwave spectroscopy entails.
  • Microwave spectroscopy is described as a method that investigates how materials interact with electromagnetic radiation, particularly focusing on gases and their rotational transitions.
  • There is a suggestion to explore the website spectroscopynow.com for additional resources.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the complexity and breadth of the field of spectroscopy, but there is no consensus on specific recommendations or areas of focus.

Contextual Notes

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?
