Atomic and Nuclear Analytical Methods : XRF, Mossbauer, NAA and Ion-Beam Spectroscopy

This book is a blend of analytical methods based on the phenomenon of atomic and nuclear physics. It comprises comprehensive presentations of nine analytical techniques important in material science and many other branches of science. These techniques are commonly applied in the fields of medicine, biology, environmental studies, archaeology or geology et al. and pursued in major international research laboratories. The book’s clarity of presentation helps to deliver better understanding for students and researchers.
