Inhaltsangabe

This book reflects the dramatic increase in the number of Ramanspectrometers being sold to and used by non-expert practitioners.It contains coverage of Resonance Raman and SERS, two hot areas ofRaman, in a form suitable for the non-expert.

• Builds Raman theory up in stages without overloading the readerwith complex theory
• Includes two chapters on instrumentation and interpretationthat shows how Raman spectra can be obtained and interpreted
• Explains the potential of using Raman spectroscopy in a widevariety of applications
• Includes detailed, but concise information and workedexamples

Von der hinteren Coverseite

For many years the practice of Raman spectroscopy was confined toexperts in dedicated academic or industrial research laboratories.The instruments were large, complicated and the experiments quitecomplex. With advances in modern technology Raman spectrometers canbe small, portable and are regularly used by people who are neitherspecialist spectroscopists nor analysts. This book aims to providethe information necessary to enable new users of Raman spectroscopyto understand and apply the technique correctly and includesdescriptions of the many pitfalls that can be encountered.

The early chapters provide enough basic theory to make apractical interpretation of Raman spectra. The theory is dealt within more depth in later chapters where the approach is to describethe main equations involved in Raman scattering, concentrating ontheir meaning and relevance. With this background the much moredetailed world is revealed in which aspects of Raman spectroscopycan provide unique information for a limited number of analyticalproblems. A full mathematical approach to the theory of Ramanspectroscopy is outside the scope of this book. For those who stayto the end, the book will provide a firm grounding from which toapproach more in depth studies of specific aspects of Ramanspectroscopy with appropriate references given.

It is the authors’ hope that those who are just developingor reviving an interest in Raman spectroscopy will very quicklygain a practical understanding from the first two chapters.Furthermore they will be inspired by the elegance and informationcontent of the technique to delve further into the rest of thebook, opening up the vast potential of the more sophisticatedapplications of Raman spectroscopy.
