Fourier Transform Raman Spectroscopy: From Concept to Experiment

FT-Raman spectroscopy is one of the fastest growing areas in analytical chemistry today. Fourier Transform Raman Spectroscopy: From Concept to Experiment describes the nuances of the discipline from its conceptual beginning to its actual establishment as a viable analytical technique. It chronicles the rapid succession of scientific steps that brought FT-Raman spectroscopy from a laboratory curiosity to a marketable analytical instrument in only four years. Thetreatise contains a series of chapters written by those who participated in this exciting process and who have gone on to lead the march of Raman spectroscopy into the Fourier domain through their sustained contributions to the field. This book focuses on FT-Raman spectroscopy as a: Non-invasive technique for studying the structure of molecules containing chromophores Methodology to avoid interference by fluorescing impurities Routine technique for the structural characterization of materials Means to do quantitative analytical chemistry in the absence of resonance enhancementChase, D. B. is the author of 'Fourier Transform Raman Spectroscopy: From Concept to Experiment', published 1994 under ISBN 9780121694302 and ISBN 0121694305.
