Principles of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and related plasmonic effects

Eric C. Le Ru and Pablo G. Etchegoin Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2009.

This book provides an overview of the underlying principles of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and their connection to the wider field of plasmonics.

The emphasis is placed on concepts and background material for SERS, such as Raman spectroscopy, the physics of plasmons, or colloid science, all of them introduced within the context of SERS, and from where the more specialised literature can be followed.
