Page 6 - Inorganic Mass Spectrometry : Fundamentals and Applications

iv Preface

This book is appropriate for anyone with an interest in elemental or isotopic
chemical analysis. Among the anticipated readership are those from the industrial
cornunity who are not involved in research per se, but rely heavily on inorganic
mass spectrometers to make chemical measurements important to their respective
industries, including semiconductors, aluminum, steel, and materials fabrication.
Academics and government staff scientists will see this book as an. opportunity to
learn about current developments in the field without having to spend weeks
sorting through the literature. Professors of graduate-school courses in mass
spectrometry will find this a valuable reference for their students.
