Der D'Ans - Lax ist ein Standardwerk fur Naturwissenschaftler; er bietet wichtiges Zahlenmaterial fur die tagliche Arbeit. Die vierte Auflage wurde komplett uberarbeitet und alle Werte sind nun in SI-Einheiten angegeben. Der erste Band enthalt generelle physikalisch-chemische Informationen, der dritte Band wird der Anorganischen Chemie gewidmet sein. Die behandelten Themen wurden nicht verandert, allerdings sind einige Umrechnungstabellen entfallen (z.B. Logarithmentafeln), da heute Taschenrechner weitverbreitet sind. Daten fur moderne spektroskopische Methoden wurden zusatzlich aufgenommen.

Nuclear and Radiochemistry The leading resource for anyone looking for an accessible and authoritative introduction to nuclear and radiochemistry In the newly revised Fourth Edition of Nuclear and Radiochemistry: Fundamentals and Applications, distinguished chemist Jens-Volker Kratz delivers a two-volume handbook that has become the gold standard in teaching and learning nuclear and radiochemistry. The books cover the theory and fundamentals of the subject before moving on the technical side of nuclear chemistry, with coverage of nuclear energy, nuclear reactors, and radionuclides in the life sciences. This latest edition discusses the details and impact of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear disasters, as well as new research facilities, including FAIR and HIM. It also incorporates new methods for target preparation and new processes for nuclear fuel recycling, like EURO-GANEX. Finally, the volumes extensively cover environmental technological advances and the effects of radioactivity on the environment. Readers will also find: An accessible and thorough introduction to the fundamental concepts of nuclear physics and chemistry, including atomic processes, classical mechanics, relativistic mechanics, and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Comprehensive explorations of radioactivity in nature, radioelements, radioisotopes and their atomic masses, and other physical properties of nuclei Practical discussions of the nuclear force, nuclear structure, decay modes, radioactive decay kinetics, and nuclear radiation In-depth examinations of the statistical considerations relevant to radioactivity measurements Written for practicing nuclear chemists and atomic physicists, Nuclear and Radiochemistry: Fundamentals and Applications is also an indispensable resource for nuclear physicians, power engineers, and professionals working in the nuclear industry.
