Abstract: 

The talk is an exposition of the many facets of Raman Spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy will celebrate its 100th anniversary of discovery in three years, but it has come a long way in entering fields previously unheard of. Many researchers, especially those working in nanotechnology and nanomaterials,
have utilized this as a characterizing tool; however, in the hands of an expert, it can explain various phenomena. Raman spectroscopy primarily examines molecular vibrations, but due to its origin, it is a landmine of information. In this talk, we elucidate how electronic transitions can be detected through Raman spectroscopy in the context of topological transitions, thereby understanding their applications in therapeutics and diagnostics in biology.
