Optical Spectroscopy of Lanthanides by Brian G. Wybourne, Lid... - 9780367389178

CRC Press

The sixth and final book by the late Brian Wybourne, an accomplished pioneer in the spectroscopy of rare earth ions, and Lidia Smentek, a leading theoretical physicist in the field, this work highlights the impact of lanthanides on modern technology, medicine, biochemistry, and molecular biology. The book documents the theory of the spectroscopic properties of lanthanides in various materials and the fundamental principles of their magnetic and hyperfine interactions. Enhanced with numerous examples, exercises, and sample programs, the text also explores a range of applications including electronic data storage, lasers, superconductors, medicine, nuclear engineering, and nanomaterials. > \nOptical Spectroscopy of Lanthanides: Magnetic and Hyperfine Interactions represents the sixth and final book by the late Brian Wybourne, an accomplished pioneer in the spectroscopy of rare earth ions, and Lidia Smentek, a leading theoretical physicist in the field.
