About this title

Synopsis

This volume compiles selected articles from the 2nd International Conference on Spectroscopy in Materials Science (ICOSIMS-2024) held online on June 5-7 2024. It offers insights into recent developments in analytical techniques and spectroscopic methods vital to materials science. Hosted by the Department of Physics at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, the conference gathered experts across various fields to discuss innovative research and applications.

The book covers topics such as light-matter interaction, materials characterization, and photon and phonon dynamics, featuring contributions from both established and emerging scholars. Spectroscopic techniques like infrared to ultraviolet-visible Raman, nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry are highlighted, addressing challenges in nanotechnology, biomedicine, and energy research.

Emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, the volume includes contributions from participants from 15 countries. Keynote speeches and invited talks stimulated valuable discussions and knowledge exchange, prompting readers to explore new questions and methodologies influencing the future of spectroscopy.

Intended for researchers, educators, and professionals in physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, this conference proceedings volume serves as a resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding and stay informed on recent advancements in spectroscopy and materials science.
