  • Time-Resolved Raman Spectroscopy and Ultrafast Phenomena
  • Non-Linear Raman Spectroscopy
  • Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
  • Vibrational Analysis and Molecular Structure
  • Solids, Crystals, Glasses, and Gels
  • Catalysis and hydrogen storage materials
  • Thin Layers, Surfaces, and Interfaces
  • Application to Material Science and Technology
  • New Functional Materials, Fullerenes, Carbon Nanotubes, Conducting Polymers
  • Application to Solid-State Physics; Conductivity, Magnetic Properties, and Phase Transition
  • Industrial Applications; Semiconductors, Process Monitoring, Catalysts, and Fuel Cells
  • Raman Imaging; Confocal/Near-Field/Tip-Enhanced Raman Microspectroscopy, Bioimaging, and Stress Analysis
