Recent advances in linear and nonlinear Raman spectroscopy. Part XIII

Abstract

AbstractThis 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 by year and by subfield of Raman spectroscopy. Coverage is provided for presentations involving Raman spectroscopy at four international conferences this year: the Tenth International Conference on Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopy (ICAVS‐10) in Aukland, New Zealand in July; SCIX 2019 organized by the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS) in Palm Springs, California USA in October; the European Conference on Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy (ECONOS 2019) in Rouen, France in April; and the Tenth International Congress on the Application of Raman Spectroscopy in Art and Archaeology (RAA 2019) in Potsdam, Germany in September. Finally, papers 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.
