E-Book Overview
Providing a theoretical background for inorganic mass spectrometry, this text describes classical applications of four modern mass spectrometers - magnetic sector, quadrupole, time-of-flight, and ion trap - and illustrates how they have impacted elemental and isotopic analysis. The book features examples that concentrate on routine and non-routine applications of inorganic analysis techniques.

The book should be of value to industry, academia, and government laboratory staff and should appeal to both national and i n t e ~ a t i o naudiences. ~ It is written so that a college senior majoring in the sciences can follow the discussion but has enough technical sophistication to keep it the benchmark for books in thi
