"…makes a broad sweep over the Raman spectroscopy field…" (Analytical Chemistry, November 2002)

"...this book will rapidly become a classic text in Raman spectroscopy..." (The Analyst, October 2002)

Endlich ein Band, der sich ausführlich der Theorie und den Grundlagen der linearen Raman-Spektroskopie widmet! 'Linear Raman Spectroscopy' ist eine Erweiterung des sehr erfolgreichen Buches 'Raman Spectroscopy' vom gleichen Autor und behandelt Schlüsselaspekte aus eher theoretischer Sicht. Die mathematischen Herleitungen sind größtenteils in Anhängen zusammengefaßt, um die Lesbarkeit des Textes zu verbessern. Für Studenten und Forscher!
