Since the inelastic scattering of light was predicted nearly 100
years ago, Raman spectroscopy has become a mainstay of
characterization techniques, with applications in a vast array of
fields from chemistry to materials science and nanotechnology, from
forensics to geology and art. More recently, it has found usage in
the life sciences, and this book hereby outlines the
state-of-the-art advances in applications of Raman spectroscopy to
human health and biomedicine. It covers a wide range of human
health science including medicine (especially cancer), physiology,
biological molecules, pharmaceutical science, cells, viruses,
microorganisms, and food science. Another highlight is that it
describes recent progress on various Raman techniques such as
surface-enhanced Raman scattering, tip-enhanced Raman scattering,
non-linear Raman spectroscopy, Raman microscopy, and Raman imaging.
Novel spectral analysis methods such as chemometrics are also
prominently discussed.
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) might be one of the most
impressive effects to demonstrate the power of plasmonic approaches
in spectroscopy and became one of the 'triggers' for the rapidly
emerging field of plasmonics.This book provides a review of some
recent developments in SERS, such as tip enhanced Raman scattering
(TERS), reports new experimental observations, sophisticated new
SERS-active structures and substrates, new theoretical insight to
explain the effect as well as exciting applications in various
fields such as analytical science, biomedicine and
nanotechnology.Written for graduate students and established
researchers looking for inspiration for future work, its
interdisciplinary nature makes the book suitable for readers in the
fields of chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, nanotechnology and
materials science.
This book is the first comprehensive work to be published on
far-ultraviolet (FUV) and deep-ultraviolet (DUV) spectroscopy,
subjects of keen interest because new areas of spectroscopy have
been born in the FUV and DUV regions. For example, FUV spectroscopy
in condensed matter has become possible due to the development of
attenuated total reflection/FUV spectroscopy. As other examples,
DUV surface-enhanced Raman scattering and DUV tip-enhanced Raman
scattering have received great attention. Imaging by DUV
spectroscopy has also become an area of interest. More recently,
FUV and DUV spectroscopy have shown potential for applications in
several fields including industry. All these topics are described
in this book. Doctoral students and researchers in universities and
national research institutes as well as researchers in various
industries will find this volume highly useful.
Spectroscopy and Computation of Hydrogen-Bonded Systems
Comprehensive spectroscopic view of the state-of the-art in
theoretical and experimental hydrogen bonding research Spectroscopy
and Computation of Hydrogen-Bonded Systems includes diverse
research efforts spanning the frontiers of hydrogen bonding as
revealed through state-of-the-art spectroscopic and computational
methods, covering a broad range of experimental and theoretical
methodologies used to investigate and understand hydrogen bonding.
The work explores the key quantitative relationships between
fundamental vibrational frequencies and hydrogen-bond
length/strength and provides an extensive reference for the
advancement of scientific knowledge on hydrogen-bonded systems.
Theoretical models of vibrational landscapes in hydrogen-bonded
systems, as well as kindred studies designed to interpret intricate
spectral features in gaseous complexes, liquids, crystals, ices,
polymers, and nanocomposites, serve to elucidate the provenance of
spectroscopic findings. Results of experimental and theoretical
studies on multidimensional proton transfer are also presented.
Edited by two highly qualified researchers in the field, sample
topics covered in Spectroscopy and Computation of Hydrogen-Bonded
Systems include: Quantum-mechanical treatments of
tunneling-mediated pathways and molecular-dynamics simulations of
structure and dynamics in hydrogen-bonded systems Mechanisms of
multiple proton-transfer pathways in hydrogen-bonded clusters and
modern spectroscopic tools with synergistic quantum-chemical
analyses Mechanistic investigations of deuterium kinetic isotope
effects, ab initio path integral methods, and molecular-dynamics
simulations Key relationships that exist between fundamental
vibrational frequencies and hydrogen-bond length/strength Analogous
spectroscopic and semi-empirical computational techniques examining
larger hydrogen-bonded systems Reflecting the polymorphic nature of
hydrogen bonding and bringing together the latest experimental and
computational work in the field, Spectroscopy and Computation of
Hydrogen-Bonded Systems is an essential resource for chemists and
other scientists involved in projects or research that intersects
with the topics covered within.
This book provides knowledge of the basic theory, spectral analysis
methods, chemometrics, instrumentation, and applications of
near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy-not as a handbook but rather as a
sourcebook of NIR spectroscopy. Thus, some emphasis is placed on
the description of basic knowledge that is important in learning
and using NIR spectroscopy. The book also deals with applications
for a variety of research fields that are very useful for a wide
range of readers from graduate students to scientists and engineers
in both academia and industry. For readers who are novices in NIR
spectroscopy, this book provides a good introduction, and for those
who already are familiar with the field it affords an excellent
means of strengthening their knowledge about NIR spectroscopy and
keeping abreast of recent developments.
The purpose of this book is to convey to the worldwide scientific
community the rapid and enthusiastic progress of state-of-the-art
quantum chemistry. Quantum chemistry continues to grow with
remarkable success particularly due to rapid progress in
supercomputers. The usefulness of quantum chemistry is almost
limitless. Its application covers not only physical chemistry but
also organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, and life sciences.
This book deals with all of these topics. Frontiers of Quantum
Chemistry is closely related to the symposium of the same name held
at Kwansei Gakuin University at Nishinomiya, Japan, in November
2015. The book's contributors, however, include not only invited
speakers at the symposium but also many other distinguished
scientists from wide areas of quantum chemistry around the world.

Molecular and Laser Spectroscopy, Advances and Applications: Volume
2 gives students and researchers an up-to-date understanding of the
fast-developing area of molecular and laser spectroscopy. This book
covers basic principles and advances in several conventional as
well as new and upcoming areas of molecular and laser spectroscopy,
such as a wide range of applications in medical science, material
science, standoff detection, defence and security, chemicals and
pharmaceuticals, and environmental science. It covers the latest
advancements, both in terms of techniques and applications, and
highlights future projections. Editors V.P. Gupta and Yukihiro
Ozaki have brought together eminent scientists in different areas
of spectroscopy to develop specialized topics in conventional
molecular spectroscopy (Cavity ringdown, Matrix Isolation, Intense
THz, Far- and Deep- UV, Optogalvanic ), linear and nonlinear laser
spectroscopy (Rayleigh & Raman Scattering), Ultrafast
Time-resolved spectroscopy, and medical applications of molecular
spectroscopy. and advanced material found in research articles.
