Raman Spectroscopy and its Application in Nanostructures 

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.
