foundations and description of fundamentals of computational methods commonly
used in spectroscopy, followed by a series of chapters presenting the results
obtained using various spectroscopy methods combined with theoretical calculations. Consecutive chapters are devoted to the studies of a broad range of materials
(starting from organic molecules and biological systems, through quantum dots and
nanomaterials, to crystalline and amorphous inorganic solids) using various spectroscopic methods, like the most popular vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman),
Mossbauer spectroscopy, and UV–Vis electron spectroscopy.
