Book description
Raman Spectroscopy and its Application in Nanostructures
is an original and timely contribution to a very active area of physics
and materials science research. This book presents the theoretical and
experimental phenomena of Raman spectroscopy, with specialized
discussions on the physical fundamentals, new developments and main
features in low-dimensional systems of Raman spectroscopy.
In recent
years physicists, materials scientists and chemists have devoted
increasing attention to low-dimensional systems and as Raman
spectroscopy can be used to study and analyse such materials as carbon
nanotubes, quantum wells, silicon nanowires, etc., it is fast becoming
one of the most powerful and sensitive experimental techniques to
characterize the qualities of such nanostructures.
Recent scientific and technological developments have resulted in the
applications of Raman spectroscopy to expand. These developments are
vital in providing information for a very broad field of applications:
for example in microelectronics, biology, forensics and archaeology.
Thus, this book not only introduces these important new branches of
Raman spectroscopy from both a theoretical and practical view point,
but the resulting effects are fully explored and relevant
representative models of Raman spectra are described in-depth with the
inclusion of theoretical calculations, when appropriate.
