Raman spectroscopy for carbon nanotube applications

Abstract

The use of Raman spectroscopy for carbon nanotube applications is presented here as a tutorial review. After introducing the relevant basic aspects of Raman spectroscopy of graphene-related materials, we will discuss how to use the Raman spectral features for practical purposes of controlling and characterizing nanotube properties relevant for applied materials and devices. Advanced techniques with potential to enhance the relevance of Raman spectroscopy application in the carbon nanotube field are also presented.
