Raman Spectroscopy and Its Application in Nanostructures

Low-dimensional systems are a very active area of research (carbon nanotubes, quantum wells, silicon nanowires) and Raman spectroscopy can be applied in many parts of this field. This book will be a useful contribution to an active area of physics research, and will describe the basic knowledge on three-dimensional (traditional) Raman spectroscopy and then discuss the main features of low-dimensional Raman spectroscopy. Contents: Part I: Fundamentals of Raman Spectroscopy CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY CHAPTER 2 - FUNDAMENTAL THEORY OF LIGHT SCATTERING CHAPTER 3 - EXPERIMENTAL BASES OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY CHAPTER 4 - SHORT Introduction to Modern Raman spectroscopy CHAPTER 5 - APPLICATIONS OF MODERN RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY Part II: Study on Nanostructures by Raman Spectrosopy CHAPTER 6 - GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF NANOSTRUCTURES CHAPTER 7 - THEORETICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF RAMAN SCATTERING IN SOLIDS CHAPTER 8 - THEORETICAL FUNDAMENTALS OF RAMAN SCATTERING IN NANOSTRUCTURES CHAPTER 9 - ROUTINE RAMAN SPECTRA OF NANOSTRUCTURES CHAPTER 10 - RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY OF NANOSTRUCTURES WITH EXCITING LASER FEATURES CHAPTER 11 - RAMAN SPECTRA WITH SAMPLE SIZES, SHAPES, COMPONENTS AND MICRO-STRUCTURES IN NANOSTRUCTURES CHAPTER 12 - ELECTRON-PHONON INTERACTIONS IN RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY OF NANOSTRUCTURES Appendix I Lasers and laser lines Appendix II Standard spectral lines Appendix III Raman Tensors Appendix IV Brillouin zoon, vibration mode and its Raman spectrum of typical crystals and semiconductors Appendix V Physical parameters, constants and units
