This
multi-topic resource covers key spectroscopy techniques used in the analysis of
molecular and atomic systems. The note encompasses a detailed introduction to
electronic spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy, including both
proton and carbon types, mass spectrometry, electron spin resonance (ESR), and
Mössbauer spectroscopy. There is also a detailed description of every technique
in its basic principles, experimental setup, and applications in different
fields like chemistry, materials science, and biochemistry. The note also
focuses on how these spectroscopic methods are applied to understand molecular
structures, chemical bonding, and dynamic processes. Perfect for students and
researchers, the book provides both a theoretical background and practical
insights into the more general applications of spectroscopy in modern scientific
research.

James Keeler's note on NMR spectroscopy is rather solid in presenting
principles of NMR along with its application to chemical structure analysis. It
covers key topics like energy levels involved in NMR, the vector model, Fourier
transformation, and data processing. The note explains how NMR spectrometers
work and introduces more advanced techniques like two-dimensional NMR, which
permits the analysis of far more detailed complex molecular structures.
Additional topics covered include relaxation processes, phase cycling, and
gradient pulses to give a full understanding of NMR spectroscopy to students and
researchers looking to master this powerful analytical tool.
This note focuses on the
applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) in clinical and
non-clinical practice. The book is divided into two parts: MRS inside the
clinic, such as imaging and analyzing metabolic processes in vivo, which will be
presented in the first part of the book, and applications of MRS outside the
clinic in fields including biochemistry, neuroscience, and pharmacology. As the
note discusses both clinical and research applications, it allows for a very
comprehensive look at how MRS can be used to probe biochemical and metabolic
processes. This note would be an excellent resource for students and
professionals in the medical and scientific communities.
