Whenever the identities of the major component and of its impurities are known, the amounts of the major and minor components can be satisfactorily determined by means of spectrometric measurements (infrared, ultraviolet, Raman, or mass, as appropriate), provided pure standard samples of the major component and each of the minor components are available for calibration of the given spectrometer. 

Volume 50 of Advances in Catalysis, published in 2006, was the hrst of a set of three focused on physical characterization of solid catalysts in the functioning state. This volume is the second in the set. The hrst four chapters are devoted to vibrational spectroscopies, including Fourier transform infrared (Lamberti et al.), ultraviolet Raman (Stair), inelastic neutron scattering (Albers and Parker), and infrared-visible sum frequency generation and polarization-modulation infrared rehection absorption (Rupprechter). Additional chapters deal with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) (Bruckner) and Mossbauer spectroscopies (Millet) and oscillating microbalance catalytic reactors (Chen et al.).

Ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful technique for characterization of nanoscale materials, in particular, wide-bandgap semiconductors and dielectrics. The advantages of ultraviolet excitation for Raman measurements of ferroelectric thin films and heterostructures, such as reduced penetration depth and enhanced scattering intensity, are discussed. Recent results of application of ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy for studies of the lattice dynamics and phase transitions in nanoscale ferroelectric structures, such as superlattices based on BaTiOs, SrTiOs, and CaTiOs, as well as ultrathin films of BaTiOs and SrTi03 are reviewed. 

One of the remarkable demonstrations of the capabilities of ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy to probe extremely thin ferroelectric oxide layers reported so far has been its application for studies of ultrathin BaTi03 films [48]. In order to investigate the size effect on the ferroelectric phase transitions, variable temperature UV Raman spectroscopy was applied to studies of a series of BaTi03 films with layer thicknesses varied from 1.6 to 10 nm (4—25 unit cells).

Ultraviolet Raman resonance (UVRR) spectroscopy provides for chemical species identification from both the characteristic vibrational structure and electronic spectra. The resonance enhancement also increases the absolute sensitivity of detection, making it easier to detect the structures. The advantages of UVRR spectroscopy are high sensitivity, lack of fluorescence and suitability for use in aqueous solutions.
