Optical Processes in Solidsby Yutaka Toyozawa
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 95.00Light (electromagnetic radiation) is the most powerful tool for probing the quantum mechanical motions of electrons and nuclei within molecules and condensed matter. In this book the author describes the principles of such spectroscopic study with the help of illustrative comparison between theory and experimental studies. more...
An Introduction to the Optical Spectroscopy of Inorganic Solidsby Jose Solé; Luisa Bausa; Daniel Jaque
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2005; US$ 210.00This 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... more...
Handbook of Optical Constants of Solidsby Edward D. Palik; Edward D. Palik
Elsevier 1985; US$ 485.00While bits and pieces of the index of refraction n and extinction coefficient k for a given material can be found in several handbooks, the Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids gives for the first time a single set of n and k values over the broadest spectral range (ideally from x-ray to mm-wave region). The critiquers have chosen the numbers for you, based on their own broad experience in the study of optical properties. Whether you need one number at one wavelength or many numbers at many wavelengths, what is available in the literature is condensed down into a single set of numbers. * Contributors have decided the best values for n and k * References in each critique allow the reader to go back to the original data to... more...
Handbook of Optical Constants of Solidsby Edward D. Palik
Elsevier 1991; US$ 560.00This handbook--a sequel to the widely used Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids--contains critical reviews and tabulated values of indexes of refraction (n) and extinction coefficients (k) for almost 50 materials that were not covered in the original handbook. For each material, the best known n and k values have been carefully tabulated, from the x-ray to millimeter-wave region of the spectrum by expert optical scientists. In addition, the handbook features thirteen introductory chapters that discuss the determination of n and k by various techniques. * Contributors have decided the best values for n and k * References in each critique allow the reader to go back to the original data to examine and understand where the values have... more...
Handbook of Optical Constants of Solidsby Edward D. Palik; Edward D. Palik
Elsevier 1997; US$ 460.00This is the third volume of the very successful set. This updated volume will contain non-linear properties of some of the most useful materials as well as chapters on optical measurement techniques. * Contributors have decided the best values for n and k * References in each critique allow the reader to go back to the original data to examine and understand where the values have come from * Allows the reader to determine if any data in a spectral region needs to be filled in * Gives a wide and detailed view of experimental techniques for measuring the optical constants n and k * Incorporates and describes crystal structure, space-group symmetry, unit-cell dimensions, number of optic and acoustic modes, frequencies of optic modes,... more...
Core Level Spectroscopy of Solidsby Frank de Groot
Taylor & Francis 2008; US$ 149.95Presents the theoretical calculations, experimental data, and underlying physics of x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), and resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy (RXES). This book explains the many-body effects in XPS and XAS as well as several theories. more...

Handbook of Optical Constants of Solidsby Gorachand Ghosh
Elsevier 1998; US$ 295.00This volume in the Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids is the first and only book to provide comprehensive coverage of refractive index and thermo-optic coefficients. It contains the refractive indexes and thermo-optic coefficients for nonlinear crystals, semiconductors, optical glasses, and fiber glasses. The Sellmeier coefficients of two physically meaningful Sellmeier equations are evaluated and are used to calculate these values throughout the normal transmission region of these optical materials. The author has also included analysis and explanations for some temperature-dependent optical devices/systems * Presents the optical constants for over 70 technologically interesting crystals and commercial glasses * Details various techniques... more...
Handbook of Optical Constants of Solidsby Edward D. Palik
Elsevier Science 1997; US$ 1,078.00This set of five volumes, four volumes edited by Edward D. Palik and a volume by Gorachand Ghosh, is a unique resource for any science and technology library. It provides materials researchers and optical device designers with reference facts in a context not available anywhere else. The singular functionality of the set derives from the unique format for the three core volumes that comprise the Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids. The Handbook satisfies several essential needs: first, it affords the most comprehensive database of the refractive index and extinction (or loss) coefficient of technically important and scientifically interesting dielectrics. This data has been critically selected and evaluated by authorities on each material.... more...
Electrodynamics of Solidsby Martin Dressel; George Grüner
Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 76.00A graduate-level book about the propagation of electromagnetic fields and their interaction with condensed matter. more...
