One of the major characteristics of SERS is its interdisciplinary nature: it lies at the boundary between physics, chemistry, colloid science, plasmonics, nanotechnology, and biology. By their very nature, it is impossible to find a textbook that will summarize the principles needed for SERS of these rather dissimilar and disconnected topics. Although a basic understanding of these topics is necessary for research projects in SERS with all its many aspects and applications, they are seldom...Raman spectroscopyRaman effect, Surface enhancedPlasmons (Physics)Electronic books.Raman spectroscopy.Raman effect, Surface enhanced.Plasmons (Physics)543.57Le Ru Eric C326223Etchegoin Pablo G(Pablo Gabriel)326224MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454144803321Principles of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy2073100UNINA
