Raman

Raman spectroscopy measures the vibrational energies of molecules by the inelastic scattering of photons. Two of the main advantages of Raman spectroscopy are the non-destructive nature of the technique and the ease of sample preparation. It can be used for sample composition, crystal structure and stress studies.

Capability

  • Raman spectroscopy at 632.817nm and 514.52nm, scan range 150-4000cm-1
  • Sample composition, structure and stress studies
  • 2-D & depth mapping

Equipment

  • Jobin Yvon LabRam HR800 confocal Raman microscope

Example

Properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes can be studied by observing the three most important features of their Raman spectra, which are the radial breathing mode (RBM), the D line and the G band.
