Twelfth International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy

This volume contains the texts of the plenary and contributed papers presented at the 12th International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy at the University of South Carolina. Forty invited contributors explore all aspects of the subject, including biological systems, semiconductors, high Tc superconductors, nonlinear techniques, the solid state, and Raman techniques and applications. This compilation provides a reasonable record of the research activity in the field and documents that Raman spectroscopy remains an invaluable technique for use in many of the cutting edge research areas of biology, chemistry, and physics. In fact, in many cases the information and data included are difficult or nearly impossible to obtain by any other technique.
