I just started my phd in the field of the correlated electron systems using Raman scattering technique, could you guys recommend me some books about the basics of Raman spectroscopy?
Infrared and Raman spectra of inorganic and coordination compounds / Kazuo Nakamoto. and Introductory Raman Spectroscopy (Kazuo) are good one to take a look. Also I suggest you to look at Faraday discussions series which you can find in your library. I read the surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy of Faraday discussions and it helped me alot.
