Maintaining the features that made the first edition of Atomic Spectroscopy highly praised, the Second Edition of this reference/text provides a thorough survey of techniques for elemental analysis - including atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic fluorescence, flame photometry, emission spectroscopy, and plasma emission. Fully updated, Atomic Spectroscopy, Second Edition now includes expanded material on interfaced plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), diode arrays, and other emerging spectroscopic fields. Outlining the historical development of each process discussed, Atomic Spectroscopy, Second Edition presents the basic physics and chemistry, as well as instrument design...compares strengths and limitations...considers analytical applications...explores sensitivity limits...and more.
