Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Designed for physics students treating the underlying basis for modern techniques and the devices used, this timely survey describes current experimental methods in a clear and accessible text. This up-to-date volume provides an essential part of undergraduate physics training; until now, students were often expected to learn many of these methods in the laboratory without proper introduction. The broad coverage of available techniques includes discussion of state-of-the-art electronic equipment, as well as such topics as discrete semiconductor devices, signal processing, thermometry, optical components, nuclear instrumentation, and x-ray diffraction methods. Professor Dunlap's text will serve not only as a complete introduction for majors but also as a reference work for technicians throughout a professional career. In addition to tutorial discussions presented, tables of numerical data and constants are included, further enhancing the book as a permanent reference.

Recensione

'...Professor Dunlap's book is much to be welcomed.' Nature

'the book provides a clear and friendly exposition of many experimental topics...there are helpful references to standard texts relating to each of the chapters...this first edition of Professor Dunlap's book is much to be welcomed. It should provide valuable reading and support for large numbers of physics students'Nature

'... this is a good general background read into the main areas of experimental physics, at an intermediate level, suitable for students contemplating experimental projects and for those of us who need rust removal.' Physics World Dec 89

`Should be very useful as a reference work for students in teaching and research laboratories.'Contemporary Physics
