This book is the most comprehensive recent publication on MIPs,
consisting of 13 chapters, primarily involving the fundamentals,
the instrumentation, and the methodologies of MIP-OES. The physical
and chemical characteristics of the various MIP sources and sample
introduction techniques available are all discussed as well as how
these characteristics affect the design of the parts of the MIP
setup with inclusion of some very recent work with MIP sources.
Considerable experimental and fundamental emphasis is placed on the
plasma generation as well as the experimental aspects of sample
introduction in MIP spectrometry. The book firstly outlines the
generation and operation of MIP discharges, and presents briefly
the principles of MIP-based techniques currently in use, along with
their potential benefits and limitations. It then addresses the art
and science of microwave plasma generation and highlights very
recent advances in the field, presenting both the fundamental
properties and the design details of new microwave plasma sources.
Analytical characteristics and novel applications of MIP-OES for a
wide variety of sample types are also reviewed. As the book
documents the latest achievements in MIP spectrometry, it should
stimulate their use on a wider scale in the analytical and research
laboratories and will prove useful to manufacturers of analytical
instruments. This book is also aimed at academics and postgraduates
embarking on work in the field of MIP source spectrometry, ICP/MIP
users, analysts and research groups who want to configure their own
plasma spectrometry setup, and manufacturers of plasma
spectrometers and MIP devices. It will also be a useful source of
information for those seeking to interface various sample
introduction techniques with plasmas and for all those who would
like to know more about the technique.
Chemometrics in Analytical Spectroscopy provides students and
practising analysts with a tutorial guide to the use and
application of the more commonly encountered techniques used in
processing and interpreting analytical spectroscopic data. In
detail the book covers the basic elements of univariate and
multivariate data analysis, the acquisition of digital data and
signal enhancement by filtering and smoothing, feature selection
and extraction, pattern recognition, exploratory data analysis by
clustering, and common algorithms in use for multivariate
calibration techniques. An appendix is included which serves as an
introduction or refresher in matrix algebra. The extensive use of
worked examples throughout gives Chemometrics in Analytical
Spectroscopy special relevance in teaching and introducing
chemometrics to undergraduates and post-graduates undertaking
analytical science courses. It assumes only a very moderate level
of mathematics, making the material far more accessible than other
publications on chemometrics. The book is also ideal for analysts
with little specialist background in statistics or mathematical
methods, who wish to appreciate the wealth of material published in
chemometrics.
Glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES) is an
essential technique for the direct analysis of bulk solids, for
elemental surface analysis and for the depth profiling of thin
films and industrial coatings. The technique has shown rapid growth
in numbers of instruments, in breadth of applications, in improved
quantification in recent years and is now a recognised technique
within the ISO, with two international standards. Glow Discharge
Optical Emission Spectroscopy: A Practical Guide takes the reader
on a journey through instrument operation, sample preparation,
analysis, and reporting results. It follows two sets of samples
through the whole process of analysis, brass samples for bulk
analysis, and zinc-coated steel for depth profiling. Procedures are
consistent with recent ISO standards and each step is loaded with
hands-on tips and theoretical insight. The book also includes
unique data tables on spectral interferences, molecular bands,
self-absorption and relative sputtering rates. This book is
designed for those using or managing GDOES instruments and for
students interested in learning the technique from a hands-on
perspective. It is also an invaluable aid to those considering the
purchase of a GDOES instrument, or those using GDOES results, to
understand in detail how the technique works and what is involved
in maintaining the instrument and achieving high quality results.
This unique book demonstrates the current status, and future
potential, of millimetre wavelength (MMW) spectrometry as a means
of quantitative analysis of gaseous mixtures. After outlining the
spectroscopic theory required, the authors then go on to discuss
the components of an MMW cavity spectrometer, concentrating on
compact, automatic, low-cost instruments. Other topics covered
include solid state MMW sources with both cryogenically cooled and
room temperature detectors. Post-detector signal processing,
smoothing, filtering and spectral profile fitting are also
discussed. The book concludes with a look at the future of the
technique, in areas such as millimetre wave-over-fibre technology.
Quantitative Millimetre Wavelength Spectrometry will be welcomed by
practitioners in both industry and academia.
Industrial Analysis with Vibrational Spectroscopy is an integrated
work which emphasises the synergy and complementary nature of the
techniques of infrared and Raman spectroscopy in industrial
laboratories. The book is written in a pragmatic and
straight-forward manner and is illustrated throughout with examples
of real-world, everyday problems and applications. It provides a
developed, realistic insight into industrial analysis with
vibrational spectroscopy for both undergraduate and academic
researcher, while additionally providing a straight-forward working
tool of value to the industrial laboratory worker.
This is the first book for atomic spectroscopists to present the
basic principles of experimental designs, optimization and
multivariate regression. Multivariate regression is a valuable
statistical method for handling complex problems (such as spectral
and chemical interferences) which arise during atomic spectrometry.
However, the technique is underused as most spectroscopists do not
have time to study the often complex literature on the subject.
This practical introduction uses conceptual explanations and worked
examples to give readers a clear understanding of the technique.
Mathematics is kept to a minimum but, when required, is kept at a
basic level. Practical considerations, interpretations and
troubleshooting are emphasized and literature surveys are included
to guide the reader to further work. The same dataset is used for
all chapters dealing with calibration to demonstrate the
differences between the different methodologies. Readers will learn
how to handle spectral and chemical interferences in atomic
spectrometry in a new, more efficient and cost-effective way.
