Recent advances in linear and nonlinear Raman spectroscopy. Part XIII

Abstract

This article is an overview of advances in Raman spectroscopy published in 2018 in the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy (JRS) and, in addition, trends over the past decade across journals that have published papers important to the field of Raman spectroscopy. The trends are based on statistical data of article counts obtained from Clarivate Analytic's Web of Science Core Collection byyear and by subfield of Raman spectroscopy. Coverage is provided for presentations involving Raman spectroscopy at four international conferences this published in JRS in 2018 are highlighted and arragned by topics at the frontier of Raman spectroscopy. Based on these data, presentations, and publications, it is clear that Raman spectroscopy continues as an expanding field of research across a wide range of novel disciplines and applications that provide sensitive photonic information at the molecular level.KEYWORDS advances in Raman spectroscopy, applications of Raman spectroscopy, developments in Raman spectroscopy, review

Decoding chemical information from vibrational spectroscopy data: Local vibrational mode theory

“…Over the past decades, vibrational spectroscopy has developed into an important analytical tool 1–21 with ample applications in chemistry and beyond 22–31 . Today modern vibrational spectroscopy has much more to offer; detailed information on the electronic structure of a molecule and its chemical bonds is encoded in the normal vibrational modes, ready to be deciphered.…”

Recent advances in linear and nonlinear Raman spectroscopy. Part XIV

“…Morita et al [ 210 ] revisited the theoretical formulation of Raman scattering intensity. Nafie [ 13 ] provided the annual overview of the field of Raman scattering highlighting papers published in 2018 as well as the current status of the field of Raman spectroscopy. Polli et al [ 211 ] introduced the special issue of JRS on the development and applications of nonlinear optical spectroscopy from the 17th European Conference on Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy (ECONOS) combined with the 37th European CARS Workshop (ECW meeting) in Milan, Italy.…”

“…A perspective review of the field of Raman spectroscopy is published annually in the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy (JRS), first initiated in 2007 [1] and continued through 2019 [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] in which highlights of current trends in Raman spectroscopy are presented. The 2020 review incudes coverage of papers published in JRS during calendar year 2019 as well as a survey of Raman topics included in conference programs this year at (a) the International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy ICORS 2020; (b) SCIX 2020 organized by the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS); (c) the European Conference on Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy (ECONOS 2020); and (d) the Tenth International Conference on GeoRaman Spectroscopy (GeoRaman 2020).…”
