Handbook of Mineral Spectroscopy
Volume 1: X-ray Photoelectron SpectraHandbook of Mineral Spectroscopy, Volume 1: X-ray Photoelectron Spectra presents a database of X-ray Photoelectron spectra showing both survey (with chemical analysis) and high-resolution spectra of more than 200 rock-forming and major ore minerals. XPS of minerals is a very powerful technique for analyzing not only the chemical composition of minerals including, for other techniques, difficult elements such as F and Cl, but also the local environment of atoms in a crystal structure. The book includes a section on silicates and on non-silicates, and is further subdivided according to the normal mineral classes. Brings together and expands upon the limited information available on the XPS of minerals into one handbook Features 2,500 full color, X-ray Photoelectron survey and high-resolution Spectra for use by researchers in the lab and as a reference Includes the chemical information of each mineral Written by experts with more than 50 years of combined mineral spectroscopy experience ISBN: 9780128045220, 0128045221
