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.
