Description
Surface Enhanced Vibrational Spectroscopy (SEVS) has reached maturity as an analytical technique, but until now there has been no single work that describes the theory and experiments of SEVS. This book combines the two important techniques of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface-enhanced infrared (SEIR) into one text that serves as the definitive resource on SEVS.* Discusses both the theory and the applications of SEVS and provides an up-to-date study of the state of the art* Offers interpretations of SEVS spectra for practicing analysts* Discusses interpretation of SEVS spectra, which can often be very different to the non-enhanced spectrum - aids the practicing analyst
Reviews / Votes
"...provides a healthy balance of theory and experiment...recommended." (CHOICE, December 2006) "...this book is a solid investment and an excellent resource for the novice or expert who is interested in a well-developed and acute understanding of the concepts and challenges surrounding surface-enhanced vibrational spectroscopy." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, December 20, 2006) "The book is well written, easy to read and richly illustrated." (Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, 2006)More details
