Laser Raman Spectra of Transition Metal Oxides and Catalysts

Abstract
During recent years the study of the vibrational structure of catalysts by laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS) and of the interfacial properties of adsorbed species on solid surfaces by resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) have comprised one of the major research activities in the area of Raman spectroscopy [1–10] as applied to catalysts [11, 12].
