Division/Committee: [PHYS] Division of Physical Chemistry

In the recent past, experimental physical chemists have greatly expanded the utility of methods based on Raman scattering to explore a vast array of systems. New, innovative, and highly useful spectroscopy and microscopy techniques based on Raman scattering have expanded our ability to probe systems from molecules to materials to living organisms. This symposium will highlight the latest methods—including spectroscopic techniques such as FSRS, single-molecule Raman spectroscopy, methods that enhance Raman signals, and cutting-edge Raman microscopy methods—and the theoretical descriptions and predictions that complement experimental methods. Topics will include: coherent Raman spectroscopy and imaging; SERS and plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy and imaging; non-linear and time-resolved Raman spectroscopy; tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS); and advances in commercial Raman instrumentation.
