Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy: Fundamentals and Applications explores the current landscape of BDS in detail, with a focus on techniques, analytical tools, devices, and materials, leading to a critical and pedagogical overview of the field. This book covers both the theory and fundamentals of BDS, as well as the most recent advances in the field with a specific focus on is its application within advanced materials. Sections I provides a strong theoretical background and foundational overview, as well as explaining how experimental tests can be conducted, discussing the methods of analysing data via various formalisms, detailed methods, and example case studies. The book then builds on this overview by exploring the ways in which BDS intersects with and can be used in conjunction other analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Sections II and III build on this theoretical knowledge to delve into the real-world applications of BDS across scientific disciplines and industries. Section IV explores a wide array of materials, exploring how BDS can be used in cutting edge ways on some of the most important materials used in chemical and material science research, such as: solution materials, polymers, hybrid polymers and nanocomposites, ionic liquids, and active dielectrics. This section covers the ways in which BDS can be used within these fabrication, quality control and sensing and monitoring of processes in these materials. Finally, given that BDS is a potent experimental tool that can be utilized by many researchers in myriad distinct fields of science, Section V of this book uses case studies and detailed methods and protocols to explore examples of how it can be used across various industries to great effect. This book guides the reader through formalism of BDS through to applications in different materials and will make an excellent resource for students (both upper undergraduate and postgraduate), researchers and engineers looking to work with this technique, primarily materials chemists, analytical chemists, materials scientists, physicists, and physical chemists working with BDS or working on advanced materials, dielectric materials, materials for electronics and in the area of dielectric relaxation processes for advanced applications. Given that this book also focuses on the intersections between BDS and other correlated analytical methods across industries, it will also be of great interest to engineers in the fields of polymers, composites, ceramics, electronic communications, and energy industries working on dielectrics and related materials and applications.

Wave Optics in Infrared Spectroscopy starts where conventional books about infrared spectroscopy end. Whereas the latter are based on the Bouguer-Beer-Lambert law, the cornerstones of this book are wave optics and dispersion theory.This gap between both levels of theory is bridged to allow a seamless transition from one to the other. Based on these foundations, the reader is able to choose which level of theory is adequate for the particular problem at hand. Advanced topics like 2D correlation analysis, chemometrics and strong coupling are introduced and viewed from a wave optics perspective. Spectral mixing rules are also considered to better understand spectra of heterogeneous samples. Finally, optical anisotropy is examined to allow a better understanding of spectral features due to orientation and orientational averaging. This discussion is based on a 4 x 4 matrix formalism, which is used not only to simulate and analyze complex materials, but also to understand vibrational circular dichroism from a (semi-) classical point of view.Wave Optics in Infrared Spectroscopy is written as a tool to reunite the fragmented field of infrared spectroscopy. It will appeal to chemists, physicists, and chemical/optical engineers.

Gas phase molecular spectroscopy is a powerful tool for obtaining information on the geometry and internal structure of isolated molecules and their interactions with others. It enables the understanding and description, through measurements and modeling, of the influence of pressure on light absorption, emission, and scattering by gas molecules, which must be taken into account for the correct analysis and prediction of the resulting spectra. Collisional Effects on Molecular Spectra: Laboratory Experiments and Models, Consequences for Applications, Second Edition provides an updated review of current experimental techniques, theoretical knowledge, and practical applications. After an introduction to collisional effects on molecular spectra, the book moves on by taking a threefold approach: it highlights key models, reviews available data, and discusses the consequences for applications. These include areas such as heat transfer, remote sensing, optical sounding, metrology, probing of gas media, and climate predictions. This second edition also contains, with respect to the first one, significant amounts of new information, including 23 figures, 8 tables, and around 700 references.Drawing on the extensive experience of its expert authors, Collisional Effects on Molecular Spectra: Laboratory Experiments and Models, Consequences for Applications, Second Edition, is a valuable guide for all those involved with sourcing, researching, interpreting, or applying gas phase molecular spectroscopy techniques across a range of fields.
