Luminescence Applications in Biological, Chemical, Environmental, and Hydrological Sciences
N
ew techniques have made luminescence spectroscopy indispensable and crucial for fundamental investigations of the dynamics of chemical processes. This factfilled book brings you up to date on new and original research on the uses of luminescence techniques. You'll get a better understanding of the applications that allow research scientists to measure the interactive distance between molecules and the size and shape of molecules. Examine methods to determine electronic transition states and molecular lifetimes. Find out how to make use of the high sensitivity available for detection of fluorescing materials. Looks at natural environments as related to earth materials both in solid and liquid form, and gives information on reactions of these materials in both solid and water systems. This multidisciplinary volume has 14 chapters and presents the important contributions in the fields of molecular biology, environmental science, methods of standardization, and molecular structure. It offers a unique look at research results and offers suggestions and examples of luminescence methodologies. Marvin C. Goldberg, Editor, U.S. Geological Survey Developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Environmental Chemistry of the American Chemical Society
