Volatilization processes, combined with gas adsorption chromatographic investigations, are well established methods in nuclear chemistry. Fast reactions and high transport and separation velocities are crucial advantages of these methods. In addition, the fast sample preparation for a-spectroscopy and spontaneous fission measurements directly after the gas-phase separation is a very advantageous feature. Formation probabilities of defined chemical compounds and their volatility can be investigated on the basis of experimentally determined and of predicted thermochemical data, the latter are discussed in Part II of this chapter. 

The early chapters in this book deal with chemical reactions. Stoichiometry is covered in Chapters 3 and 4, with special emphasis on reactions in aqueous solutions. The properties of gases are treated in Chapter 5, followed by coverage of gas phase equilibria in Chapter 6. Acid-base equilibria are covered in Chapter 7, and Chapter 8 deals with additional aqueous equilibria. Thermodynamics is covered in two chapters Chapter 9 deals with thermochemistry and the first law of thermodynamics Chapter 10 treats the topics associated with the second law of thermodynamics. The discussion of electrochemistry follows in Chapter 11. Atomic theory and quantum mechanics are covered in Chapter 12, followed by two chapters on chemical bonding and modern spectroscopy (Chapters 13 and 14). Chemical kinetics is discussed in Chapter 15, followed by coverage of solids and liquids in Chapter 16, and the physical properties of solutions in Chapter 17. A systematic treatment of the descriptive chemistry of the representative elements is given in Chapters 18 and 19, and of the transition metals in Chapter 20. Chapter 21 covers topics in nuclear chemistry and Chapter 22 provides an introduction to organic chemistry and to the most important biomolecules.

Abstract This chapter demonstrates the applicability of positrons in nuclear chemistry and material sciences. From the very basics to highly developed spectroscopic methods, a brief outline of positron annihilation spectroscopies is given. The possibilities of these methods are emphasized, and the characteristic applications are outlined for every one of them. 

Attila Vertes (Tiirje, 1934) is a Professor Emeritus of nuclear chemistry at Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest. He studied the scattering of beta particles for his Master s thesis in 1958 and has been dealing with different topics of nuclear chemistry ever since (e.g., Mossbauer and positron annihilation spectroscopy).

This book is written by experts from disciplines as diverse as analytical chemistry, nuclear chemistry, environmental science, molecular biology, and medicinal chemistry in order to identify potential hot spots of metallomics and metalloproteomics. The scientific fundamentals of new approaches, like isotopic techniques combined with ICP-MS/ESI-MS/MS, the synchrotron radiation-based techniques. X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and neutron scattering, as well as their various applications, with a focus on mercury, selenium, chromium, arsenic, iron and metal-based medicines are critically reviewed, which can help to understand their impacts on human health. The book will be of particular interest to researchers in the fields of environmental and industrial chemistry, biochemistry, nutrition, toxicology, and medicine. Basically, the book has two aims. The first deals with the educational point of view. Chapters 2 to 7 provide the basic concept of each of the selected nuclear analytical techniques and should be understandable by Master and PhD students in chemistry, physics, biology and nanotechnology.

Although a separation of electronic and nuclear motion provides an important simplification and appealing qualitative model for chemistry, the electronic Sclirodinger equation is still fomiidable. Efforts to solve it approximately and apply these solutions to the study of spectroscopy, stmcture and chemical reactions fonn the subject of what is usually called electronic structure theory or quantum chemistry. The starting point for most calculations and the foundation of molecular orbital theory is the independent-particle approximation. 

Laser Raman diagnostic teclmiques offer remote, nonintnisive, nonperturbing measurements with high spatial and temporal resolution [158], This is particularly advantageous in the area of combustion chemistry. Physical probes for temperature and concentration measurements can be debatable in many combustion systems, such as furnaces, internal combustors etc., since they may disturb the medium or, even worse, not withstand the hostile enviromnents [159]. Laser Raman techniques are employed since two of the dominant molecules associated with air-fed combustion are O2 and N2. Flomonuclear diatomic molecules unable to have a nuclear coordinate-dependent dipole moment caimot be diagnosed by infrared spectroscopy. Other combustion species include CFl, CO2, FI2O and FI2 [160]. These molecules are probed by Raman spectroscopy to detenuine the temperature profile and species concentration m various combustion processes. 

The adiabatic picture developed above, based on the BO approximation, is basic to our understanding of much of chemistry and molecular physics. For example, in spectroscopy the adiabatic picture is one of well-defined spectral bands, one for each electronic state. The smicture of each band is then due to the shape of the molecule and the nuclear motions allowed by the potential surface. This is in general what is seen in absorption and photoelectron spectroscopy. There are, however, occasions when the picture breaks down, and non-adiabatic effects must be included to give a faithful description of a molecular system [160-163].
