Handbook of Electron Spin Resonance: Vol. 1 [Hardcover]

Market: Physicists, chemists, biochemists, and biologists. Here's the first book to gather the vast range of experimental data in electron spin resonance (ESR) into a single volume. Concise yet comprehensive, it offers an easy-to-use collection of up-to-date experimental data, methods, and theory. The Handbook includes key contributions from leading scientists and provides over 200 tables and figures. Although specific ESR subfields are covered in numerous books and journals, the Handbook of Electron Spin Resonance is the only comprehensive reference to present extensive tabulation of data and experimental results. The Handbook also provides introductions to theoretical backgrounds, methods, and instrumentation.Contents: 1. Data Sources. Extent of the Literature. Textbooks and Monographs. Literature Reviews.
