Spektroscopie der Röntgenstrahlen

Abstract

OF the many fields of physics which have been extensively explored during the past decade, none, perhaps, has yielded a greater contribution to our knowledge of atomic structure than that of X-ray spectroscopy. Since the classical experiments of Moseley in 1913-14, the development of the subject has been rapid, and we have now at our disposal a very extensive knowledge of the X-ray emission and absorption spectra of the elements. The time was therefore ripe for the publication of a volume devoted, almost entirely, to a discussion of the methods and results of X-ray spectroscopy. The present monograph is all the more welcome as coming from the pen of Prof. Siegbahn, who has contributed more than any other to the development of the technique of accurate wave-length measurements in this region of the spectrum.
