Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

In 1967 the book Techniques of Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectroscopy was published. In the three decades since that volume first appeared, the techniques associated with vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy have been greatly expanded. Originally published as two volumes in the serial, "Experimental Methods in the Physical Sciences," Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectroscopy combines in one, paperback volume information on these many advances in vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) research. In addition, the book provides students and researchers with concise reviews of the important aspects of designing experiments in the VUV region. This is the only comprehensive treatise describing the use of synchrotron and other light sources for research, along with the new technologies in optical elements, multilayers, mirror coatings, soft x-ray zone plates, VUV detectors, interferometric spectrometers, and subjects such as spectromicroscopy, lithography, and photon-induced fluorescence. Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectroscopy is an ideal handbook both for the beginner and for the experienced researcher in any field requiring the use of VUV radiation. Key Features: · Includes detailed review of synchrotron radiation sources, including undulators and wigglers · Provides comprehensive outline of monochromator design and concise review of optics theory for multilayers, spectrometers, and zone plates · Presents information on additional important VUV sources such as laser-produced plasmas and electron beam ion trap (EBIT) sources · Includes applications such as spectromicroscopy, lithography, and fluorescenceSamson, James A. R. is the author of 'Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectroscopy', published 2000 under ISBN 9780126175608 and ISBN 0126175608.
