Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains the abridged texts of the Keynote lecture, the Plenary lectures, and the two–page extended abstracts of invited oral and poster contributions presented at the Eighteenth International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy, held in Budapest, Hungary, on 25–30 August 2002.
It has become customary to publish the papers presented at this biennial conference in a bound volume. The contributions are grouped into the following sections:
- Theoretical Advances in Raman Scattering: Vibrational Analysis / Molecular Dynamics and Structure / Band Shape / Band Intensity
- Raman Spectroscopy under Extreme Conditions (Pressure, Temperature, High Magnetic Field, etc.)
- Instrumentation / Advanced Techniques / Near Field / Micro Raman / Imaging and Mapping / 2D–Raman Spectroscopy
- Ultra–fast Phenomena / Time–resolved Raman Spectroscopy / Ultra–fast Coherent Raman Spectroscopy
- Surface Enhanced Scattering
- Non–linear Effects / CARS / RIKES
- Resonance Raman Spectroscopy
- Raman Optical Activity / Raman Scattering Anisotropy
- Advanced Materials: Fullerene and Carbon Nanotubes / Diamond / Super–hard Materials / Other Nanoscale Materials and other New Materials
- Semiconductors and Related Lower Dimensional Structures / 2–D Electronic Gas
- The Solid State: Non–Crystalline Materials / Molecular Crystals / Phase Transitions / Others
- Inorganic / Organometallic / Complex Molecules / Organic Systems
- Macromolecules and Polymers
- Thin Films and Membranes
- Proteins / Peptides / Amino Acids / Enzymes / Chromophoric Biomolecules
- Lipids / Bio–membranes / Nucleic Acids / Viruses / Cells / Tissues
- Artwork / Archaeology / Conservation Science
- Surface / Interfacial Phenomena
