Solid-State Spectroscopy An Introduction
Spectroscopic methods have opened up a new horizon in our knowledge of solid-state materials. Numerous techniques using electromagnetic radiation or charged and neutral particles have been invented and worked out to a high level in order to provide more d

Preface to the Second Edition
To write a second edition of a textbook is a very challenging enterprise for the author in many aspects. First of all it gives the chance to back up the content and the text from the previous edition with all the experience he has collected after the first edition was distributed and to include the full set of advices and recommendations he had received from colleagues and students. As important is the possibility to include new developments in the subject of the book. Solid-state spectroscopy was originally addressed to be most important for our understanding of the solid sate. This promise has been more than fulfilled as in the almost ten years after the publication of the first edition many important technical developments of analytical tools has lead to better or even new understanding of materials. Good examples of this progress are the rapid development of synchrotron radiation as an omnipresent light source, the increasing interest in spintronics which promoted the spectroscopy of spin systems or the new subject of transport or electron addition spectroscopy in nanostructures. These and many other subjects are now included in the textbook or were rephrased according to the most recent developments. Solid-state spectroscopy has still the character of an analytical tool but in a few special cases as for example in the field of luminescence the breakthrough to the market has occurred. The format of the textbook as it was originally designed was retained in the new edition. In the first and main part of the book basic concepts of the various types of spectroscopy are described with partic
