Book description
From a leading researcher in optical spectroscopy and electronic
properties of novel semiconductors comes this much-needed toolbox title
to understand the concepts behind the spectroscopy of advanced organic
materials and how they work.
The book thus provides basic and practical knowledge on material
photophysics for planning, carrying out and understanding experiments in
spectroscopy. It contains a collection of simple practical rules for
data analysis and interpretation, together with a list of experimental
techniques, including the latest methods. Each topic is complemented by
examples taken from forefront research on nanomaterials, photovoltaics
and photonics, and each chapter includes a discussion, examples, topical
boxes, tables and figures. The whole is rounded off by a bibliography
for further reading, major references and appendixes containing
theoretical derivation and numerical code.
The result is a quick guide for the spectroscopist who needs to grasp
the concept of the experiments.
Prof. Guglielmo Lanzani is Head of the Center for Nano Science and
Technology of the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT@POLIMI) and
associate professor of Physics at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy.
Having obtained his academic degree from the University of Genova, he
spent five years as a researcher in Sassari, before taking up his
present appointment at Politecnico di Milano, and more recently at IIT.
Professor Lanzani has authored over 180 scientific publications, and has
given 65 invited talks. He is a member of several conference program
boards and chair of international conferences.
