Providing a modern update of the field, Mössbauer Spectroscopy focuses on applications across a broad range of fields, including analysis of inorganic elements, nanoparticles, metalloenzymyes, biomolecules (including proteins), glass, coal, and iron. Ideal for a broad range of scientists, this one-stop reference presents advances gained in the field over past two decades, including a detailed theoretical description of Mossbauer spectroscopy, an extensive treatment of Mossbauer spectroscopy in applied areas, and challenges and future opportunities for the further development of this technique.

VIRENDER K. SHARMA received his Ph.D. in Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry at the Florida Institute of Technology after graduating from the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi, India with the Master in Technology. He is currently Professor of Chemistry at F.I.T. He was a visiting research scholar at Stanford University under the advisory of Professor Ed Solomon and won both the ACS Faculty of the Year award in 2008 and the Orlando Section Outstanding Chemist Award. His research interests include the study of kinetics and mechanisms of oxidations by transition metals in higher oxidation states in aqueous solution, development of innovative and effective methods for reducing the level of contaminants in the aquatic environment, and the physical chemistry of natural waters.
