Publisher's Synopsis
Infrared and raman spectroscopy are techniques yielding complementary information needed to identify and characterize molecules. These two spectroscopic techniques have a wide range of applications in analytical chemistry, materials science and biochemistry, in areas at the forefront of technological progress.;Experts in the field have compiled this reference work on both fundamehtal and raman spectroscopy. This work supplies the basic information necessary to apply these methods, design analytical procedures and to evaluate the spectroscopic data.;Analytical laboratories in industry, research institutes and universities as well as suppliers of spectrometers should find this book useful.
