For bulk structural detemiination (see chapter B 1.9). the main teclmique used has been x-ray diffraction (XRD). Several other teclmiques are also available for more specialized applications, including electron diffraction (ED) for thin film structures and gas-phase molecules neutron diffraction (ND) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for magnetic studies (see chapter B1.12 and chapter B1.13) x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) for local structures in small or unstable samples and other spectroscopies to examine local structures in molecules. Electron microscopy also plays an important role, primarily tlirough unaging (see chapter B1.17). 

Some topics and the number of contributions per selected category vary from conference to conference as a result of changes in the major areas of research and by the number of conference participants per research area. Other conferences take place covering specialized topics where NMR microscopy plays an important role, e.g., the International Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Porous Media , the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine or the International Conference on Application of Magnetic Resonance in Food Science . 

The title Spectroscopy in Catalysis is attractively compact but not quite precise. The book also introduces microscopy, diffraction and temperature programmed reaction methods, as these are important tools in the characterization of catalysts. As to applications, I have limited myself to supported metals, oxides, sulfides and metal single crystals. Zeolites, as well as techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance have been left out, mainly because the author has little personal experience with these subjects. Catalysis in the year 2000 would not be what it is without surface science. Hence, techniques that are applicable to study the surfaces of single crystals or metal foils used to model catalytic surfaces, have been included. 

Other advances in mesoscopic measurements include the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study real-time hydrate growth from ice particles and water droplets, andparticle morphology (Moudrakovski et al., 2004). Scanning electron microscopy has also been shown to be a useful tool for studying natural...
