Scientific Research as a Career
92nd Edition Edited by
William M. Haynes National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Colorado, USA
Finlay MacRitchie
"The Handbook has always provided a thorough range of critically evaluated data in a convenient, one-volume format. Over the period of last almost two decades it has addressed environmental concerns by providing data on pollutants, contaminants, global warming, and ground water contamination. It also has supported the advances in semiconductors and high-temperature superconductors, and amended pertinent data to stay current with IUPAC standards."
This book provides guidance to those who are contemplating a career in scientific research and those who are already engaged in the profession. Designed to promote dialogue between scientific researchers and those in training, this book describes the philosophy of the scientific method and the knowledge and attributes needed for a successful career in research. The text discusses the influence that managerialism has had on scientific organizations, and it proposes ways in which these influences can be replaced by leadership, which is more appropriate for nurturing scientists’ creativity.

Chemistry of Modern Papermaking Cornel Hagiopol and James W. Johnston Georgia-Pacific Chemicals, LLC, Decatur, Georgia, USA
"Open a page of this book at random, and you are more likely than not to encounter carefully selected and redrawn chemical formulae and reaction paths — illuminating many of the most promising strategies for the use of chemicals in a papermaking process. Too many authors have shied away from such a graphic and explicit approach to explaining important concepts underlying chemical technology. ...a book without such effective chemical notations and reaction schemes would require a great many more words — and probably achieve less clarity and utility. And this is a book that is clearly intended to be useful." —Martin Hubbe, Department of Forest Biomaterials, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA
Presenting a chemist’s perspective on the papermaking process, this volume is an extensive collection of data that combines the organic chemistry of paper with its potential applications.

Rare Earth Materials in Nanotechnology Edited by
Edited by
Timothy Tan Thatt Yany
Peter Schattschneider
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Vienna University of Technology, Austria
This book describes energy loss magnetic chiral dichroism (EMCD), a phenomenon in energy loss spectroscopy discovered in 2006. EMCD is the equivalent of XMCD but is based on fast probe electrons in the electron microscope. A spatial resolution of 2 nm has been demonstrated, and the lattice-resolved mapping of atomic spins appears feasible. EMCD is, thus, a promising technique for magnetic studies on the nanometer and sub-nanometer scale, providing the technical and logistic advantages of electron microscopy, such as in situ chemical and structural information, easy access, and low cost.

Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures Boris I. Kharisov, Oxana Vasilievna Kharissova, Ubaldo Ortiz-Mendez Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon, Mexico
When the area of nanotechnology developed as an independent field in the frontiers of physics, chemistry, materials chemistry and physics, medicine, biology, and other disciplines decades ago, terms such as “nanoparticle,” “nanopowder,” “nanotube,” and “nanoplate,” and other terms related to shape (“nanoflowers,” “nanorices,” “nanolines,” “nanotowers,” and more) rapidly became very common. Since any novel nanostructure could, theoretically, have useful applications, each new achievement is welcome. In an effort to organize the field, the Handbook of Less-Common Nanostructures presents a non-formal classification based mainly on the less-common nanostructures. A small nanotechnological encyclopedia, this book: • Describes a range of little-known nanostructures • Offers a unifying vision of the synthesis of nanostructures and the generalization of rare nanoforms • Includes a CD-ROM with color versions of more than 100 nanostructures • Explores the fabrication of rare nanostructures, including modern physical, chemical, and biological synthesis techniques

Fundamentals of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Second Edition Brian C. Smith Spectros Associates, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, USA
Reflecting the myriad changes and advancements in the technologies involved in FTIR, particularly the development of diamond ATRs, this second edition of Fundamentals of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy has been extensively rewritten and expanded to include new topics and figures as well as updates of existing chapters. Designed for those new to FTIR, but with enough reference material to appeal to journeyman and expert spectroscopists, this book does not demand any extensive familiarity with chemistry or physics. Specializing in concise and comprehensible explanations of FTIR topics, the author introduces the field of infrared spectroscopy, including the strengths and weaknesses of FTIR as a chemical analysis technique. He then describes the instrument itself and explores topics such as how an interferometer generates a spectrum, optimization of spectral quality, and which tests are used to monitor instrument health. The book discusses how to properly use spectral processing to increase the information of a spectrum without damaging the data and takes considerable care in instructing on sample preparation, as good sample preparation constitutes half the battle in extracting good data. The final chapters examine single analyte quantitative analysis and conclude with an overview of infrared microscopy. Drawing on the experience and knowledge of the author as both a professor and practitioner, Fundamentals of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy offers up-to-date information given in clear, easily understood language to appeal to beginner and expert spectroscopists alike.
