Raman Spectroscopy in Nanoscience and Nanometrology: Carbon Nanotubes, Nanographite and Graphene

Raman Spectroscopy in Nanoscience and Nanometrology: Carbon Nanotubes, Nanographite and Graphene

Recent work has shown that Raman spectroscopy has potential to become one of the most important tools for nanoscience and nanometrology, i.e. for standardization and industrial quality of goods based on nanoscience. However, Raman spectroscopy is perceived as being too complicated for a non-specialist. This book is aimed to be a pedagogic reference to educate the community on how they can use Raman spectroscopy to study and characterize nanostructured materials. It will drive students, researchers and engineers towards the development of future research and applications of new forms of carbon as well as the use of Raman spectroscopy for nanometrology of carbon nanotubes, nanographite and graphene.

Optical Properties And Spectroscopy Of Nanomaterials

Optical Properties And Spectroscopy Of Nanomaterials

Optical properties are among the most fascinating and useful properties of nanomaterials and have been extensively studied using a variety of optical spectroscopic techniques. A basic understanding of the optical properties and related spectroscopic techniques is essential for anyone who is interested in learning about nanomaterials of semiconductors, insulators or metal. This is partly because optical properties are intimately related to other properties and functionalities (e.g. electronic, magnetic, and thermal) that are of fundamental importance to many technological applications, such as energy conversion, chemical analysis, biomedicine, optoelectronics, communication, and radiation detection. Intentionally designed for upper-level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students with some basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, this book provides the first systematic coverage of optical properties and spectroscopic techniques of nanomaterials.

• Spectroscopic Techniques for Studying Optical Properties of Nanomaterials
• Other Experimental Techniques: Electron Microscopy and X-Ray
• Synthesis and Fabrication of Nanomaterials
• Optical Properties of Semiconductor Nanomaterials
• Optical Properties of Metal Oxide Nanomaterials
• Optical Properties of Metal Nanomaterials
• Optical Properties of Composite Nanostructures
• Charge Carrier Dynamics in Nanomaterials
• Applications of Optical Properties of Nanomaterials

Introduction to XAFS: A Practical Guide to X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy

Product Description
X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS) is a powerful and versatile technique for studying structures of materials in chemistry, physics, biology and other fields. This textbook is a comprehensive, practical guide to carrying out and interpreting XAFS experiments. Assuming only undergraduate-level physics and mathematics, the textbook is ideally suited for graduate students in physics and chemistry starting XAFS-based research. It contains concise executable example programs in Mathematica 7. Supplementary material available at www.cambridge.org/9780521767750 includes Mathematica code from the book, related Mathematica programs, and worked data analysis examples. The textbook addresses experiment, theory, and data analysis, but is not tied to specific data analysis programs or philosophies. This makes it accessible to a broad audience in the sciences, and a useful guide for researchers entering the subject.

Plasmonics: Fundamentals and Applications

Product Description

Considered one of the major fields of photonics of the beginning 21^st century, plasmonics offers the potential to confine and guide light below the diffraction limit and promises a new generation of highly miniaturized photonic devices. Offering both a comprehensive introduction to the field and an extensive overview of the current state of the art, “Plasmonics: Fundamentals and Applications” should be of great value to the newcomer and to the experienced researcher.

The first part of the book describes the fundamentals of this research area, starting with a review of Maxwell’s equations in a form suited to the description of metals. Subsequent chapters introduce the two major ingredients of plasmonics, surface plasmon polaritons at metallic interfaces and localized plasmons in nanostructures. The mathematics of their description, excitation and imaging of the modes are discussed. This part closes with a presentation of electromagnetic surface waves at lower frequencies in the THz and microwave regime, comprising both spoof or designer plasmons and surface phonon polaritons.

Building on the fundamentals, the second part discusses some of the most prominent applications of plasmons: Plasmon waveguides, extraordinary transmission through aperture arrays, sensing and surface enhanced Raman scattering, spectroscopy as well as metamaterials. Exemplary studies in each of these fields taken from the original literature are presented.
