Fundamentals and Applications in Aerosol Spectroscopy

This book provides an overview of the state of the art in this rapidly developing field. Chapters in the book are arranged in order of decreasing wavelength of the light/electrons. The book encompasses the whole range of methods, from infrared and Raman to UV/VIS and x-ray. It covers a variety of aerosols, including cold aerosol particles in planetary atmospheres and organic aerosols and bioaerosols in the Earth’s atmosphere. It also surveys emerging experimental techniques and instrumentation, such as tunable x-rays for aerosol scattering, scanning transmission x-ray microscopy for characterizing aerosols, and electron beam microscopy for studying aerosol particles.
