Description
Atomic and Molecular Photoabsorption, Volume 1 describes and catalogs available spectral information relevant to how
common gases interact with sunlight and other sources of electromagnetic radiation such as x-rays, flames, and plasmas. Photoabsorption
is light's reduction in intensity and force when it passes through a column of gas or liquid. This book also includes a large number
of data tables and figures that are invaluable to researchers because they help them select exactly which wavelengths to use in their
experiments. The further distinguishing aspect of this book is its synthesis across a broad spectrum of wavelengths and compilation of
data for a large number of atoms and molecules.
Audience:
Researchers in molecular spectroscopy as well as radiation physicists, chemists, biologists, and atmospheric chemists.
