Essentials Of Nuclear Chemistry

The revised edition retains the essential theories of nuclear structure and stability, radioactivity o the principles of fission, fusion and breeder reactors of the earlier editions. The preparation of t more commonly used radioisotopes and their uses as tracers in research, medicine, agriculture an industry are described. The book also covers the elements of Radiation and Radioclientst illustrated with additional examples. The section on Mössbauer effect is retained. The chapter on t detection and measurement of radioactivity is revised to include thermoluminescence and Cerenks detectors.

New additions in the present edition include a whole chapter on the separation and uses of stab and radioactive isotopes needed in bulk amounts in the atomic age low an extension of ba principles of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has led to the sophisticated Magnetic Resonane Imaging (MRI), the latest diagnostic tool in medicine is discussed lucidly. Another chapter is adde entitled "A Roll-call of Elementary Particles", wherein the battling properties of quarks and gluors with their esoteric flavours, colours, strangeness and charmare reviewed showing hove their scientif characteristics tend to merge in Philosophy.

The book meets the needs of Honours and Postgraduate student clara Bulyan Radiochemistry.
