Preface to the Second Edition

To write a second edition of a textbook is a very challenging enterprise for the

author in many aspects. First of all it gives the chance to back up the content

and the text from the previous edition with all the experience he has collected

after the ﬁrst edition was distributed and to include the full set of advices and

recommendations he had received from colleagues and students. As important

is the possibility to include new developments in the subject of the book.

Solid-state spectroscopy was originally addressed to be most important for

our understanding of the solid sate. This promise has been more than fulﬁlled

as in the almost ten years after the publication of the ﬁrst edition many

important technical developments of analytical tools has lead to better or

even new understanding of materials. Good examples of this progress are the

rapid development of synchrotron radiation as an omnipresent light source,

the increasing interest in spintronics which promoted the spectroscopy of spin

systems or the new subject of transport or electron addition spectroscopy

in nanostructures. These and many other subjects are now included in the

textbook or were rephrased according to the most recent developments.

Solid-state spectroscopy has still the character of an analytical tool but in

a few special cases as for example in the ﬁeld of luminescence the breakthrough

to the market has occurred.

The format of the textbook as it was originally designed was retained in the

new edition. In the ﬁrst and main part of the book basic concepts of the various

types of spectroscopy are described with particular emphasis on the physical

background of the methods. The sections on synchrotron radiation, photo

emission, and on spin resonance were extended and a new chapter was added

on spectroscopy of nanostructured solids. On the other hand the contributions

from positron annihilation and myon spin resonance were shortened in order to

limit the overall text to an acceptable volume. The dedication of the textbook

remains as given in the preface of the ﬁrst English edition and can be inspected

there.

In the second part of the book which is again formatted as appendices to

the individual chapters, a more detailed presentation is provided to help the
