Spectroscopy
by B. P. Straughan, S. Walker · Various
Volume three of a 1976 reference set, treating electronic, fluorescence, phosphorescence, and photoelectron spectroscopy along with quantum energy levels and astrochemistry. It explains the physical origin of each spectral technique rather than instrument operation.
