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 Seventeeth International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy held in Beijing, China on August 20?25, 2000. It has become customary to publish the papers presented at this biennial conference in a bound volume. The contributions are grouped into the following sessions:
- 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.)
- Near–field/Advanced Techniques/Instrumentation and New Applications of Raman Spectroscopy
- Ultra–fast Phenomena/Time–resolved Raman Spectroscopy
- Surface Enhanced Scattering
- Non–linear Effect/CARS/RIKES
- Brillouin Scattering and Rayleigh Scattering
- X–rays and UV Raman Spectroscopy
- Phase Transitions
- Advanced Materials: Fullerene and Carbon Nanotube/Diamond/Super–hard Materials/Other New and Nanoscale Materials
- Semiconductors and Related Lower Dimensional Structures/2–D Electronic Gas
- Superconductors
- The Solid State: Non–crystalline Materials/Molecular Crystals/Others
