Preface to the Second Edition
To write a second edition of a textbook is a very challenging enterprise for theauthor in many aspects. First of all it gives the chance to back up the contentand the text from the previous edition with all the experience he has collectedafter the first edition was distributed and to include the full set of advices andrecommendations he had received from colleagues and students. As importantis the possibility to include new developments in the subject of the book.Solid-state spectroscopy was originally addressed to be most important forour understanding of the solid sate. This promise has been more than fulfilledas in the almost ten years after the publication of the first edition manyimportant technical developments of analytical tools has lead to better oreven new understanding of materials. Good examples of this progress are therapid development of synchrotron radiation as an omnipresent light source,the increasing interest in spintronics which promoted the spectroscopy of spinsystems or the new subject of transport or electron addition spectroscopyin nanostructures. These and many other subjects are now included in thetextbook or were rephrased according to the most recent developments.
Solid-state spectroscopy has still the character of an analytical tool but ina few special cases as for example in the field of luminescence the breakthroughto the market has occurred.
The format of the textbook as it was originally designed was retained in thenew edition. In the first and main part of the book basic concepts of the varioustypes of spectroscopy are described with particular emphasis on the physicalbackground of the methods. The sections on synchrotron radiation, photoemission, and on spin resonance were extended and a new chapter was addedon spectroscopy of nanostructured solids. On the other hand the contributionsfrom positron annihilation and myon spin resonance were shortened in order tolimit the overall text to an acceptable volume. The dedication of the textbookremains as given in the preface of the first English edition and can be inspectedthere.
In the second part of the book which is again formatted as appendices tothe individual chapters, a more detailed presentation is provided to help the

advanced reader or teaching professors in finding the connections to theoreti-cal interpretations. In some cases, where it was demanded from the progressof understanding, parts of the presentations which were originally in the ap-pendices were moved to the main text.
As for the problems new exercises were included to cover the new sub-jects accepted in the second edition. The problem solutions are still availablefrom the author as an extra booklet with the ISBN number 963 463 268 8published by H. Kuzmany, M. Hulman and J. Kurti at the Eotvos Univer-sity in Budapest. New problems are assigned by an upperscale n. They areunfortunately not included in the booklet.
Due to the lack of space many presentations could not be provided insufficient detail to allow for immediate application in research and technology.Therefore to each chapter the list of references for further reading was updatedwith most important recent literature.
Finally it is a great pleasure for me to acknowledge all colleagues whocontributed to the better understanding of this textbook by numerous dis-cussions and recommendations during its preparation. Particularly valuablecontributions came from Prof. H. Grosse, Prof. Th. Pichler, Dr. R. Pfeiffer,Dr. A. Gruneis, Dr. C. Kramberger, and Mag. W. Plank, Universitat Wien,Prof. F. Simon, University of Technology and Economics Budapest, Prof. W.Jantsch, Universitat Linz, and Prof. P. Jarillo-Herero, Massachusetts Instituteof Technology, Boston. I am also very grateful to our technicians A. Stangland Ch. Vlcek for helping to get new and updated illustrations for the text-book. Finally, I very much acknowledge the editor-in-chief Dr. Ascheron fromSpringer Verlag for his continuous stimulations during the preparation of themanuscript and for his patience in receiving it.

Preface to the First Edition
The dramatic increase of our knowledge about the solid-state in the last 10–20years has come in great part from new spectroscopic experimental techniques.In this context spectroscopy is used in a broad sense and covers various ex-periments where energy analysis of a particle or electromagnetic radiationis crucial. Accordingly, spectroscopic methods extend in the electromagneticspectrum from radio waves to γ radiation but also include particles after theirinteraction with a solid. Each spectral range has its characteristic techniqueand addresses particular properties of the solid. A fundamental knowledge ofthe various methods is therefore a prerequisite for a successful investigationof problems in a particular area.
The actual motivation for writing this textbook was the lack of any di-dactic review summarizing the methods and applications of spectroscopywith regards to solids. Many of the methods were well known from molec-ular physics but, even there, reliable and comprehensive textbooks are notavailable. Also, spectroscopic problems can be characteristically different inmolecules and crystalline material because of the periodic arrangements ofatoms and molecules in the latter.
The material presented here is a result of several postgraduate courseson “Solid-State Spectroscopy” given by the author over the last few years.The goal of these lectures was to supply a representative selection of spec-troscopic techniques and to describe their field of application. This goal hasbeen retained as the concept of the current textbook. Accordingly, the inten-tion is to provide a broad knowledge of the basic concepts, sufficient to followspecialized lectures or specialized literature later on.
Another source of the subject to be discussed is a textbook written bythe author in 1989 in German and edited by Springer Verlag in 1989. In thistextbook the concept of presentation and didactic strategy was developed butthe elaboration of the material has been performed in much more detail in thecurrent version and the volume of subjects presented has been substantiallyincreased.
VII
VIII Preface to the First Edition
During the formulation of the text particular attention was paid to aphysical understanding of the spectroscopic problems rather than to theirformal description. To improve information transfer from the text the mostimportant results have been framed. This should be of particular help for theapplication-oriented reader. To simplify presentation no vector or tensor nota-tion is employed in general. Only in cases where the physical meaning requiresthe specification of the rank of the variables, bulk letters, or indexed symbolsin script are used for vectors and tensors and bulk letters in Roman for oper-ators. The bulk of the book deals with a description of current spectroscopictechniques and their applications on an introductory level. This is backed upby extensive appendices which contain several useful tables and a considerablenumber of further details, including some mathematical formulations on anadvanced level. In this way a better link could be established with standardtextbooks and to formulations used in spectroscopic research. The book isconstructed, however, to allow reading and understanding without a study ofthe appendices. In this context the latter can be used either as a source ofadditional information for the lecturers or as part of the course work.
The first part of the textbook describes electromagnetic radiation, lightsources such as lasers and synchrotron radiation, and general concepts ofexperimental techniques. The second part concentrates on individual spectro-scopic methods using electromagnetic radiation and particles. The problemscollected at the end of each chapter are designed to further the understandingof the text. Each of them is flagged for its instructive value. Discussion andsolution of the problems is highly recommended. Problems with an asteriskare more difficult and may be considered as an extension of the subject cov-ered by the book. Problems labeled with a superscript a require input fromthe appendix.
During the specification of the problems I strongly benefited from valuablediscussions with colleagues and former students in my group. In this contextI am particularly grateful to Mag. J. Winter, Mag. R. Winkler, and Mag. M.Hulman for their engagement in the discussion of the problems. A bookletwith solutions will be available from the author for interested readers.
The current textbook may be useful as a first text for senior undergraduatestudents. However, it is particularly designed for postgraduates in physics,chemistry, and material science, before they start to work in a special researchfield. With the inclusion of the appendices the value of the book is extended toa more knowledgeable audience such as students working on a thesis, academiclecturers who intend to set up a similar course in solid-state spectroscopy, oreven researchers in the field.
Two years of education in general physics are a prerequisite for under-standing this book. In addition, a basic knowledge of solid-state physics andsome background in the concepts of quantum mechanics will be very helpful.At the end of each chapter references are given for readers who need additionalinformation on specific subjects and recent developments.
Preface to the First Edition IX
The subject covered by this textbook extends over a very broad field ofmaterial science. Extended discussions with many specialists were thereforeextremely important. In this context I would like to acknowledge in partic-ular Prof. G. Vogl and Prof. H. Grosse from the Universitat Wien, Prof. M.Mehring from the Universitat Stuttgart, Prof. J. Fink from the Institut furFestkorperphysik und Werkstofforschung in Dresden, and Prof. J. Kurti fromthe Eotvos University in Budapest.
For critical reading and correction of special chapters I acknowledge Doz.B. Sepiol from Wien, and Prof. Kurti and Prof. Mehring from Budapestand Stuttgart, respectively. Also, I am particularly grateful to T. Leitner forhis continuous efforts to get the graphics of the textbook into a computer-compatible shape and for designing the cover plate.
Finally, I acknowledge the Springer Verlag in Heidelberg, in particularDr. Lotsch and Mr. C.-D. Bachem, for their support and efforts during thepreparation of the manuscript.
It has been the idea of this book to provide an overview and an aid for new-comers to the rapidly emerging and colorful field of solid-state spectroscopy.
