Spectroscopic Methods in Mineralogy and Material Sciences Grant S Henderson, Daniel R Neuville, Robert T Downs, Eds. ( WeLib.org )

This volume, titled "Spectroscopic Methods in Mineralogy and Materials Sciences," addresses the significance of spectroscopic techniques in understanding geological materials, particularly through an integrated, multitechnique approach. The objective of the compilation is to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in various spectroscopic methods, relevant to both geochemical and geophysical challenges. The methodology encompasses an extensive collection of chapters contributed by various authors worldwide, examining pertinent topics such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), high-pressure techniques, and theoretical simulations aiding the interpretation of experimental spectra. The results of this cumulative effort illustrate the current status and efficacy of these methods within the field, emphasizing their application beyond traditional experimental limits. This work reflects a collaborative effort praised for its diverse contributions and rigorous peer review, ultimately aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical approaches and practical applications in mineralogy and materials sciences.
