| Summary |
This title concentrates on teaching techniques using as much theory as needed. It has an application of the techniques to many problems of materials characterization. The uniquess will be the addition of a CD with more than 200 colored powerpoint pictures showing examples which are mostly self-explanatory and easy to understand. The material collected in the CD will be most suitable for teaching purposes. Mossbauer spectroscopy is a profound analytical method which has nevertheless continued to develop. The authors now present a state-of-the art book which consists of two parts. The first part |
