Modern Raman Spectroscopy
Autor Ewen Smith, Geoffrey Denten Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 oct 2026
Now in its Third Edition, Modern Raman Spectroscopy: A Practical Approach delivers a thorough treatment of Raman scattering fundamentals alongside advanced methods. Key concepts are explained with minimal equations, making the material accessible to readers from physics, chemistry, and biology backgrounds. This revised edition provides a clear route map for data interpretation and technique suitability assessment.
Modern Raman Spectroscopy now covers chemometric techniques for complex data analysis and expanded applications in space exploration, clinical research, art, and archaeology. Dedicated chapters on instrumentation and spectral interpretation give readers focused, structured guidance. Updated theory and modern examples on Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) reflect current practice in this widely used technique.
Readers will also find:
- Concise explanations of Raman scattering foundations that enable new users to build confidence with the technique quickly
- Practical advice for selecting appropriate instrumentation and configuring experiments suited to specific analytical requirements and sample types
- Exploration of advanced Raman methods designed to extend the capabilities of experienced practitioners in research and industry
- Introduction to chemometric approaches for extracting meaningful information from large, complex spectral datasets across diverse applications
- Modern SERS examples illustrating current developments in surface enhanced techniques for trace level molecular detection and characterization
