Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy: Principles, Experiments, and Applications is a comprehensive, up to date, and balanced treatment of the theoretical and practical aspects of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS), a useful branch of spectroscopy for several areas of science. This book describes the basic principles of SERS, including SERS mechanisms, performing SERS measurements, and interpreting data. Also emphasized are applications in electrochemistry; catalysis; surface processing and corrosion; Self-Assemble-Layer and L-B Films; polymer science; biology; medicine and drug analysis; sensors; fuel cells; forensics; and archaeology. It is an essential guide for student and professional analytical chemists.

The 27 contributions in the 2007 edition of this venerated series synthesize recent research on semiconductor exciton properties, quantized states of nanostructures, small molecule processes, and complex media such as membranes and molecular motors. Several of the papers address biophysical chemistry advances in lipid bilayers, cellular signal transduction, protein-folding pathways, and prion disease. Other topics include the theory of structural glasses and supercooled liquids, localized surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, molecular architectonic on metal surfaces, isomerization through conical intersections, and exciton photophysics of carbon nanotubes.

The 30 articles contributed to the unusually large 2008 edition of the annual series summarize recent advances in biophysical chemistry, quantum chemical statistical mechanics, condensed phase chemical kinetics, polymers, ordered arrays, nanoscale materials, and surface phenomena. In the opening chapter, Stuart Rice recounts his research career at the University of Chicago studying the transport properties of liquids, electronic excitation in crystals, quantum control, and the liquid-metal vapor interface. Paper topics include infrared spectroscopy of photo-switchable peptides, ions at aqueous interfaces, fluctuation theorems, elastic modeling of biomembranes and lipid bilayers, and collapse mechanisms of Langmiur monolayers.
