Surface Enhanced Vibrational Spectroscopy (SEVS) has reachedmaturity as an analytical technique, but until now there has beenno single work that describes the theory and experiments of SEVS.
This book combines the two important techniques of surface-enhancedRaman scattering (SERS) and surface-enhanced infrared (SEIR) intoone text that serves as the definitive resource on SEVS.
* Discusses both the theory and the applications of SEVS andprovides an up-to-date study of the state of the art
* Offers interpretations of SEVS spectra for practicinganalysts
* Discusses interpretation of SEVS spectra, which can often bevery different to the non-enhanced spectrum - aids the practicinganalyst

Reviews for Surface-Enhanced Vibrational Spectroscopy
I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in SEVS. (Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, December 2007) ?provides a healthy balance of theory and experiment?recommended. (CHOICE, December 2006) ?this book is a solid investment and an excellent resource for the novice or expert who is interested in a well-developed and acute understanding of the concepts and challenges surrounding surface-enhanced vibrational spectroscopy. (Journal of the American Chemical Society, December 20, 2006) The book is well written, easy to read and richly illustrated. (Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, 2006)
