Computational Colour Science using MATLABby Stephen Westland; Caterina Ripamonti
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 140.00Presenting a practical, problem-based approach to colour physics, this title describes the key issues encountered in modern colour engineering, including efficient representation of colour information, fourier analysis of reflectance spectra and advanced colorimetric computation. Emphasis is placed on the practical applications rather than the techniques themselves, with material structured around key topics, such as colour calibration of visual displays, computer recipe prediction and models for colour-appearance prediction. Each topic is carefully introduced at three levels to enhance student understanding. Firstly, theoretical ideas and background information are discussed, explanations of mathematical solutions then follow and... more...
X-Ray Scattering From Semiconductors (2nd Edition)by P F Fewster
World Scientific 2003; US$ 98.80This book presents a practical guide to the analysis of materials and includes a thorough description of the underlying theories and instrumental aberrations caused by real experiments. The main emphasis concerns the analysis of thin films and multilayers, primarily semiconductors, although the techniques are very general. Semiconductors can be very perfect composite crystals and therefore their study can lead to the largest volume of information, since X-ray scattering can assess the deviation from perfection. more...
Handbook Of Thermoluminescenceby Claudio Furetta
World Scientific 2003; US$ 131.30This book provides practical support for research, study, routine work and terminology in the field of thermoluminescence (TL). It discusses the methods of determining the kinetic parameters, the procedures for characterizing a thermoluminescent dosimetric system, and the definition of terms commonly used in the literature. more...
Vavilov-Cherenkov and Synchrotron Radiationby G.N. Afanasiev
Springer 2004; US$ 309.00The theory of the Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation observed by Cherenkov in 1934 was created by Tamm, Frank and Ginsburg who associated the observed blue light with the uniform charge motion of a charge at the velocity greater than the velocity of light velocity in the medium. On the other hand, Vavilov, Cherenkov's teacher, attributed the observed blue light with the deceleration of electrons. This has given rise to the appearance of papers in which the radiation of a charge uniformly moving in a finite space interval was related to the bremsstrahlung arising at the end points of the motion interval. This monograph is intended for students of the third year and higher, for postgraduates, for professional scientists (both experimentalists and theoreticians)... more...
Colorimetryby Noboru Ohta; Alan Robertson
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2006; US$ 135.00Colorimetry, the science of quantitvely describing color, is essential for color reproduction technology. This is because it creates standards by which to measure color, using mathematical techniques and software to ensure fidelity across media, allow accurate color mixing, and to develop color optimization. This book is a comprehensive and thorough introduction to colorimetry, taking the reader from basic concepts through to a variety of industrial applications. Set out in clear, easy-to-follow terminology, Ohta and Robertson explain fundamental principles such as color specification, the CIE (International Commission on Illumination) system, and color vision and appearance models. They also cover the following topics: the optimization of... more...
A History of Light and Colour Measurementby Sean F. Johnston
CRC Press 2001; US$ 89.95Judging the brightness and colour of light has long been contentious. This is a history of the hidden workings of physical science - a technical endeavour embedded in a social context. It argues that this "undisciplined" subject may be typical not only of 20th-century science, but of its future. more...
Organic Electroluminescenceby Zakya H. Kafafi
CRC Press 2005; US$ 149.95Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology has proven popular in commercial applications, especially when low-voltage and inexpensive displays are needed. This collection of 11 articles describes ongoing research on electroluminescence in small molecules, emission mechanics in OLEDs, physical properties in OLEDs in space charge-limited conducti more...
X-Ray Diffraction by Polycrystalline Materialsby René Guinebretière
ISTE 2006; US$ 117.00This book presents a physical approach to the diffraction phenomenon and its applications in materials science. Part one is a historical presentation of the discovery of X-ray diffraction. Part two is devoted to a description of the physical phenomenon of X-ray diffraction on perfect and imperfect crystals. A detailed analysis of the instruments used for the characterization of powdered materials or thin films is proposed in part three. The description of the processing of measured signals and their results is given. In the final part, the author presents recent developments relating to quantitative microstructural analysis of powders or epitaxial thin films on the basis of X-ray diffraction. more...
Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopyby Graham A. Webb
Elsevier 2005; US$ 231.00Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an analytical tool used by chemists and physicists to study the structure and dynamics of molecules. In recent years, no other technique has grown to such importance as NMR spectroscopy. It is used in all branches of science where precise structural determination is required and where the nature of interactions and reactions in solution is being studied. Annual Reports on NMR has established itself as a premier means for the specialist and nonspecialist alike to become familiar with new techniques and applications of NMR spectroscopy. * Includes comprehensive review articles on NMR Spectroscopy * NMR is used in all branches of science * No other technique has grown to such importance as NMR Spectroscopy... more...
