9780471913801: Fluorescence and Phosphorescence

Synopsis

Photoluminescence is currently one of the major growth areas in spectroscopy - a situation made possible by the recent developments in analytical instrumentation and sample handling. These advances are outlined and put into context with the underlying theory. An introduction to the basic principles of photoluminescence, instrumentation and quantitative aspects of the technique is provided. In all cases, theoretical aspects are kept as simple as possible. A survey of the methods available for both organic and inorganic analytes using natural fluorescence or the formation of fluorescent derivatives is also included. This title will be of particular interest to all those wishing to update themselves on this advancing topic.

From the Publisher

This introduction to a major area of growth in analytical chemistry is designed for students seeking general background on the subject and for established chemists who want greater familiarity with the uses of flourescence and phosphorescence techniques. The complicated aspects of spectroscopic theory is treated clearly and simply, providing a solid basis for understanding the analytical applications described later in the book. Outlines the instrumentation required in analysis, with block diagrams to clarify major concepts, and explains the quantitative aspects of photoluminescence. The remainder of the book surveys methods of both organic and inorganic analytes using natural flourescence or the formation of flourescent derivatives. Includes coverage of recent developments such as flouroimmunoassay and room temperature phosphorescence. Case studies give concrete examples of current work in the field.
