The first truly comprehensive work on vibrational spectroscopy, providing a one-stop reference for every topic in infrared, near-infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Also includes coverage of associated techniques, such as inelastic neutron scattering, electron energy loss and cavity ring spectroscopy.

• Presents over 240 in-depth articles
• Discusses theory and instrumentation of vibrational spectroscopy
• Presents sampling techniques and sampling identification
• Includes data handling and processing
• Provides applications of the technique in materials, catalysis, polymers, atmosphere and the environment, food science, forensics, biomedical, biochemical, pharmaceutical areas and in education
• Fully indexed with comprehensive glossaries

The Handbook of Vibrational Spectroscopy is divided into five comprehensive volumes:

Volume 1 - Theory and Instrumentation
Volume 2 - Sampling Techniques for Vibrational Spectroscopy
Volume 3 - Sample Characterisation and Spectral Data Processing
Volume 4 - Applications of Vibrational Spectroscopy in Industry, Materials and the Physical Sciences
Volume 5 - Applications of Vibrational Spectroscopy in Life and Natural Sciences>

An essential addition to the bookshelves of academic and industrial researchers within such fields as pharmaceuticals, food, agrochemicals, environmental and polymers. Invaluable for both the beginner to the field or a particular application area and the expert.
