Local Structural Characterisation 

Inorganic materials are at the heart of many contemporary
real-world applications, in electronic devices, drug delivery,
bio-inspired materials and energy storage and transport. In order
to underpin novel synthesis strategies both to facilitate these
applications and to encourage new ones, a thorough review of
current and emerging techniques for materials characterisation is
needed.

Examining important techniques that allow investigation of the
structures of inorganic materials on the local atomic scale,
Local Structural Characterisation discusses:

* Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy

* X-Ray Absorption and Emission Spectroscopy

* Neutrons and Neutron Spectroscopy

* EPR Spectroscopy of Inorganic Materials

* Analysis of Functional Materials by X-Ray Photoelectron
Spectroscopy

This addition to the Inorganic Materials Series provides a
detailed and thorough review of these spectroscopic techniques and
emphasises the interplay between chemical synthesis and physical
characterisation.
