About this book
Muon Spin Spectroscopy
An introduction to muon spin spectroscopy with a focus on applications in chemistry and materials science
Muon Spin Spectroscopy: Methods and Applications in Chemistry and Materials Science delivers a robust and practical discussion of the areas in muon spin spectroscopy most relevant to chemistry and materials science. In this text readers will find the background details of muonium chemistry, as well as descriptions of applications in a variety of topics of varying complexity, from chemical reactivity in the gas phase to condensed matter and biological systems.
The text covers material ranging from the historical background to recent technological and theoretical developments in the field. Readers will also find:
- An introduction to muon beams and spin spectroscopy, including discussions of spin polarization and muon decay
- Comprehensive explanations of the formation of chemical states incorporating muons
- Practical discussions of chemical reactivity and dynamics testing rate theory in the gas phase, including the influence of the potential energy surface
- Comprehensive treatments of muoniated free radicals, spin relaxation studies, and muonium chemistry and chemical kinetics in condensed phases
Ideal for practicing spectroscopists, physical chemists, and surface chemists, Muon Spin Spectroscopy: Methods and Applications in Chemistry and Materials Science will also benefit students of materials science and chemistry.
