Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

This special issue of Vibrational Spectroscopy focuses on prominent young vibrational spectroscopist undertaking an impressive range of research whose work has the potential to influence future directions in the field. Over recent years the application of IR and Raman spectroscopy has seen significant developments and novel application avenues encompassed by technological progress, development of data analysis methodologies and applications spanning materials, clinical samples, pharmaceutical and biological questions to highlight a few.

This special issue is organized as reviews, clinical and materials spectroscopy, and innovative methods and instrumentation.

Mark J. Hackett et al. start the issue by reviewing the important application of FTIR spectroscopy for analysing protein aggregation in neurological disorders to highlight important results that can impact upon our fundamental understanding of these disorders. Dmitry Kurouski reviews the unique abilities of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy with special emphasis on applications in surface science, biochemistry, conservation science and electrochemistry and Lauren E. Jamieson et al. complete the review section by discussing the exciting application of vibrational spectroscopy as a tool for studying drug-cell interaction and its potential future use for high throughput screening.

David Perez-Guaita et al. demonstrate the combination of Raman and FTIR spectroscopy for diagnostic for multi-modal imaging and overall analysis of cells. Michael J. Walsh et al. highlight the potential of FTIR spectroscopy for diagnosis of subtypes of thyroid cancer and show that the spectral information from different tissue feature should be analysed separately and important result for the future of spectral histopathology and Jayakrupakar Nallala et al. test high-magnification FTIR imaging for cancer diagnosis.

Alison J. Hobro et al. move the issue on to investigate fundamental effects that can occur during sample preparation by evaluating different fixation methods of cells for the use of Raman imaging and provide important general principles to conserve important biochemical information. Julian Ollesch et al. apply fiber optic infrared analysis for the discrimination of colorectal cancer tissues and cancer grades and Thomas Bocklitz et al. demonstrate important new approaches for improved model transferability in order to perform a chemometric analysis of datasets that are measured under different conditions. K.L. Andrew Chan et al. develops the issue and analyse protection coatings on germanium surfaces in order to avoid damage in live cell ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and Ángela I. López-Lorente et al. develop a boron-doped waveguide, modified with gold nanoparticles for surface enhanced infrared absorption for the characterization of bovine serum albumin protein. João M. Batista Jr. et al. enable us to investigate fundamental molecular vibrations and show the use of Raman optical activity of flavone C-diglycoside in order to study the conformational preferences in aqueous solutions as well as the absolute configuration of the glycosidic linkage. Johannes Kiefer et al. further the study of vibrational signatures of anionic groups in imidazolium ionic liquids by infrared spectroscopy and importantly compare to ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Marie Richard-Lacroix et al. analyse individual poly(ethylene oxide) fibers in order to reach a better understanding and control of electrospun fibers properties and Tomasz P. Wrobel et al. characterize low-emissivity glass and gold coated glass substrates and consequences for infrared transflections measurements Katrin F. Domke et al. study the surface enhanced Raman signatures of lead chalcogenide quantum dots that are commonly employed as sensitizer material in solar cells and propose the monitoring of the spectral markers during photovoltaic device production and Dai Zhang et al. integrate scanning tunnelling microscopy into a parabolic mirror assisted confocal microscope for tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy of doped graphene. Takuro Ideguchi et al. have developed a setup for ultrafast broadband Fourier-transform coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy, realized by employing a Fourier-domain delay line based on a rapidly rotating 54-facet polygonal mirror, and demonstrate a record scan rate of 50,000 coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectra per second. Our congratulations to all young scientists for their selection for this special issue and thanks to them and all their co-workers for their valuable contributions. We hope you join us to express or appreciation to the authors and the excitement for their innovative research and hope to see their impact in the field in the future. We gratefully acknowledge the support from Prof. Don McNaughton as well as Christian Schulz, Angela Yuan, Juan Zhang, and Kumar Pradeep from the Vibrational Spectroscopy Elsevier Publishing Team.
