Raman Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis

Owing to its unique combination of high information content and ease of use, Raman spectroscopy, which uses different vibrational energy levels to excite molecules (as opposed to light spectra), has attracted much attention over the past fifteen years. This book covers all aspects of modern Raman spectroscopy, including its growing use in both the laboratory and industrial analysis.Minimaler Aufwand bei der Probenvorbereitung, hoher Informationsgehalt des Spektrums und die Möglichkeit, mit festen Proben zu arbeiten, machen die Raman-Spektroskopie zunehmend attraktiv. Wie man diese Methode mit modernster Ausrüstung effizient anwendet, zeigt Ihnen das vorliegende Buch. Im Mittelpunkt stehen neue Entwicklungen wie CCDs, Diodenlaser und Fourier-Transform-Techniken. Behandelt werden auch quantitative Analysen, die in der bisher vorhandenen Literatur häufig zu kurz kamen. (08/00) Introduction and Scope.
