Physical scientists and engineers survey the current technology and practices in nanoscale spectroscopy and its applications. Among the topics are microscale and nanoscale structures and system and their applications in certain directions, dielectric spectroscopy of polymer-based nanocomposite dielectrics with tailored interfaces with structured spatial distribution of fillers, localized surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy with applications to chemistry, controlling the reversible self-assembly path of an amyloid beta peptide over the surface of gold colloidal nanoparticles, spectral self-interference fluorescence microscopy to study the conformation of biomolecules with nanometer accuracy, and a review of nanoscale spectroscopy in medicine.
