Characterizing Carbon Materials with Raman Spectroscopy

24 Nov 2014

This application note describes how Raman Spectroscopy is a very powerful and valuable technique for the characterization of carbon nanomaterials. Raman is particularly well suited to detect small changes in structural morphology of carbon nanomaterials making it an indispensable tool for many material scientists working with carbon nanostructures. Raman instruments are very fast and provide a great deal of flexibility in samples that can be accommodated. Every lab that is characterizing carbon nanomaterials will benefit from having access to Raman instrumentation.

Raman SpectroscopyRaman spectroscopy is used to discern the vibrational and rotational states of molecules and hence the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available.
