Advances in Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy: v. 12

The major objectives of this well-established series, presenting critical review articles in fundamental and applied infrared and Raman spectroscopy, are to integrate theory and practice and to bring together the different branches of research in both the academic and industrial spheres. The papers commissioned cover a wide range of subjects where progress has been recent or is expected in the near future, and reflect the wide application of these techniques in the science and engineering fields. Like its predecessors, the 12th volume is of general interest both within and beyond the fields of chemistry, physics and biology and of principal appeal to research scientists and technologists, graduate students and teachers on advanced courses.
