Conference report—A report from the 5th International Taiwan Symposium on Raman Spectroscopy (TISRS 2017) and Taiwan Association of Raman Spectroscopy (TARS) Summer Camp

Abstract

The 5th International Taiwan Symposium on Raman Spectroscopy (TISRS 2017) and Taiwan Association of Raman Spectroscopy (TARS) Summer Camp were held from June 27th to 30th at National Chiayi University in Taiwan. Four plenary speakers and 14 invited speakers, from France, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, and United States, presented their research findings in TISRS in front of an audience of more than 200 participants from 12 countries. Thirty‐seven posters in biology and material sciences were exhibited at the symposium. Following TISRS, five experts delivered lectures to students in the summer camp. The mission of this congress was to promote continuous developments and applications of Raman spectroscopy, with a focus this year on surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), imaging methods, and their applications to molecular, biological, and nanomaterial sciences. This meeting also served as a platform for junior researchers to exhibit their recent studies. In this report, we highlight novel findings and perspectives in Raman spectroscopy that emerged in this symposium. The topics of lecture given in the summer camp are listed.

Recent advances in linear and nonlinear Raman spectroscopy. Part XIII

“…Other reviews in the special issue on graphene and related 2D materials, previously described above, were the following: Beams on Tip‐enhanced Raman scattering of graphene ; Faugeras and co‐workers on Raman scattering of graphene‐based systems in high magnetic fields ; Bendiab et al on Unravelling external perturbation effects on the optical phonon response of graphene ; Lee and Cheong on Resonance Raman effects in transition metal dichalcogenides ; Machon et al on Raman scattering studies of graphene under high pressure ; and Ribeiro and co‐workers on the Raman spectroscopy in black phosphorus . Huang and colleauges provided a conference report from the 5th International Taiwan Symposium on Raman Spectroscopy (2017) and Taiwan Association of Raman Spectroscopy Summer Camp . Rossi and Masciovecchio presented a overview of the June 2018 special issue of JRS for the GISR 2017 conference entitled the present and future Raman research in Italy .…”
