Author Description

Product Description This volume contains the abridged texts of the Keynote Lecture, the Plenary Lectures, and the two-page extended abstracts of invited oral and poster contributions presented at the Seventeeth International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy held in Beijing, China on August 20?25, 2000. It has become customary to publish the papers presented at this biennial conference in a bound volume. The contributions are grouped into the following sessions: Theoretical Advances in Raman Scattering: Vibrational Analysis/Molecular Dynamics and Structure/Band Shape/Band IntensityRaman Spectroscopy under Extreme Conditions (Pressure, Temperature, High Magnetic Field, etc.)Near-field/Advanced Techniques/Instrumentation and New Applications of Raman SpectroscopyUltra-fast Phenomena/Time-resolved Raman SpectroscopySurface Enhanced ScatteringNon-linear Effect/CARS/RIKESBrillouin Scattering and Rayleigh ScatteringX-rays and UV Raman SpectroscopyPhase TransitionsAdvanced Materials: Fullerene and Carbon Nanotube/Diamond/Super-hard Materials/Other New and Nanoscale MaterialsSemiconductors and Related Lower Dimensional Structures/2-D Electronic GasSuperconductorsThe Solid State: Non-crystalline Materials/Molecular Crystals/OthersSurface/Interfacial PhenomenaApplications of Raman Spectroscopy in Analytical ChemistryInorganic/Organo-metallic/Organic SystemsMacromolecules and PolymersThin Films and MembranesProteins/Peptides/Amino AcidsLipids/Bio-membranes/Nucleic Acids/VirusesMedical/Biomedical/Pharmaceutical Applications/CellsIndustrial Process and Environmental ApplicationsApplications in Minerals, Geology and Other Fields The book brings together a wide variety of fields of research in Raman Spectroscopy and as such provides an excellent snapshot of current Raman research activities.
