X-Ray fluorescence analysis is an established technique for non-destructive elemental materials analysis. This book gives a user-oriented practical guidance to the application of this method. The book gives a survey of the theoretical fundamentals, analytical instrumentation, software for data processing, various excitation regimes including gracing incidents and microfocus measurements, quantitative analysis, applications in routine and micro analysis, mineralogy, biology, medicine, criminal investigations, archeology, metallurgy, abrasion, microelectronics, environmental air and water analysis. This book is the bible of X-Ray fluorescence analysis. It gives the basic knowledge on this technique, information on analytical equipment and guides the reader to the various applications. It appeals to researchers, analytically active engineers and advanced students.
X-Ray Fluorescence in Biological Sciences Discover a comprehensive exploration of X-ray fluorescence in chemical biology and the clinical and plant sciences In X-Ray Fluorescence in Biological Sciences: Principles, Instrumentation, and Applications, a team of accomplished researchers delivers extensive coverage of the application of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) in the biological sciences, including chemical biology, clinical science, and plant science. The book also explores recent advances in XRF imaging techniques in these fields. The authors focus on understanding and investigating the intercellular structures and metals in plant cells, with advanced discussions of recently developed micro-an...
X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray emission spectroscopy are complementary to crystallographic methods, particularly for materials science and the study of nanostructure and systems with partial disorder and partial local order, including solutions, gases, liquids, glasses and powders. This new volume of International Tables for Crystallography has nine parts and over 150 chapters contributed by a wide range of international experts. Part 1 provides a brief overview and introduction to the background of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and experimental facilities. Part 2 discusses the quantum theory of XAS and related approaches. Part 3 describes both standard and advanced experiment...
Hebrew manuscripts are considered to be invaluable documents and artefacts of Jewish culture and history. Research on Hebrew manuscript culture is progressing rapidly and therefore its topics, methods and questions need to be enunciated and reflected upon. The case studies assembled in this volume explore various fields of research on Hebrew manuscripts. They show paradigmatically the current developments concerning codicology and palaeography, book forms like the scroll and codex, scribes and their writing material, patrons, collectors and censors, manuscript and book collections, illuminations and fragments, and, last but not least, new methods of material analysis applied to manuscripts. The principal focus of this volume is the material and intellectual history of Hebrew book cultures from antiquity to the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period, its intention being to heighten and sharpen the reader’s understanding of Jewish social and cultural history in general.
This book is your graduate level entrance into battery, fuel cell and solar cell research at synchrotron x-ray sources. Materials scientists find numerous examples for the combination of electrochemical experiments with simple and with highly complex x-ray scattering and spectroscopy methods. Physicists and chemists can link applied electrochemistry with fundamental concepts of condensed matter physics, physical chemistry and surface science.

Im Studium der angewandten Geowissenschaften und Materialanalytik ist ein solides Grundwissen über die gängigsten Methoden der Gesamt- und ortsaufgelösten sowie der Phasenanalytik erforderlich. Dieses Buch liefert einen Einstieg in dieses anspruchsvolle Thema, auch mit Blick auf die Stärken, Schwächen, Möglichkeiten und Fehlerquellen der vorgestellten Methoden. Es beschreibt alle Aspekte der Analyse eines Materials beginnend mit der Probennahme und grundlegenden Verfahren der Probenaufbereitung und stützt sich dabei auf eine bewährte Zusammenstellung leicht verfügbarer, klassischer Analysenmethoden im Bereich Massenspektrometrie und Röntgenanalytik, mit denen schnell eine relativ u...
This collection, presented to Michael Friedrich in honour of his academic career at of the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures, traces key concepts that scholars associated with the Centre have developed and refined for the systematic study of manuscript cultures. At the same time, the contributions showcase the possibilities of expanding the traditional subject of ‘manuscripts’ to the larger perspective of ‘written artefacts’.
Erstmals liegt für die Editionswissenschaften ein Sammelband vor, der das in den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften immer wichtigere Paradigma Materialität in seiner Vielfalt beleuchtet. 35 Einzelbeiträge weisen auf, wie die materiale Grundlage der Überlieferung im Rahmen von Editionen erforscht, verarbeitet und dargestellt werden kann. Die exemplarischen Studien zeigen die große Spannbreite des Themas von der naturwissenschaftlichen Analyse des Beschreibstoffs über textgenetische Studien von Schreibvorgängen bis zur Diskussion des Materialitätsbegriffs. In den Beiträgen, die von der antiken Bibelüberlieferung über mittelalterliche Handschriften und den Brief des 18. Jahrhunderts b...
Philologen, vornehmlich Germanisten und Musikwissenschaftler, haben den Zentralbegriff der Editionswissenschaft, die Textkritik, in den Mittelpunkt gestellt. Im Verlauf der vergangenen Jahrzehnte hat sich in diesem Bereich eine Entwicklung vollzogen, verbunden mit neuen Überlegungen und auch nachhaltigen Irritationen. Diskutiert werden die heutige Bedeutung und Funktion der Textkritik an konkreten Beispielen.
