Author Description

"Light scattering is one of the very common phenomena in nature. Light scatterometry has long been applied for atmospheric remote sensing and air quality monitoring, but its application field is relatively limited. This book at first gives a brief introduction of several important light scattering phenomena from the perspectives of the aspects of analytical chemistry. On the basis of a through introduction of light scattering theory, this book then introduces the measurements of light scattering signals, the elastic light scattering (ELS) spectrometry of different particles systems including the aggregation of organic dyes, plasmonic nanoparticles, and bioparticles, and extends their applications into life and environmental analytical chemistry. This book is the first of its kind to extend ELS measurements to various branches of modern spectroscopic analytical chemistry, which reflects the application prospects of ELS signals in spetroscopic analysis, especially in the imaging field"--Page 4 of cover.
