Surface Enhanced Raman Vibrational Studies at Solid Gas Interfaces

Fundamental elementary facts and theoretical tools for the interpretation and model development of solid-gas interactions are first presented in this work.

Almost 30 years after the first reports on surface-enhanced Raman signals, the phenomenon of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is now well established.

Covering everything from new developments in the field to established techniques with a focus on biochemical applications, this monograph shows how to analyze surface characteristics right down to single molecules.

This book opens with a description of fundamental aspects of protein adsorption to surfaces, a phenomenon that plays a key role in biotechnological applications, especially at solid-liquid interfaces. Presented here are methods for studying adsorption kinetics and conformational changes such as optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS).
