Handbook of Mineral Spectroscopy, Volume 2: Infrared Spectra

by J. Theo Kloprogge

Overview

Handbook of Mineral Spectroscopy, Volume Two: Infrared Spectra, a Four Volume Set presents a database of Infrared spectra, showing both full spectra and high-resolution spectral regions with band component analyses of rock-forming and major ore minerals. IR of minerals is a very powerful technique for analyzing the different vibrational modes of minerals (in particular functional groups) but also the local environment of atoms in a crystal structure. The book includes a section on silicates and one on non-silicates, subdivided according to the normal mineral classes. This book is a go-to guide for anyone working with minerals and can be used for research and writing or as a handbook in the laboratory while running analyses of minerals. - Features 2,500 full color Infrared Spectra for use by researchers in the lab and as a reference - Includes band component analyses of the spectral regions of interest for each mineral - Written by an expert with more than 25 years of mineral spectroscopy experience
