This paper reviews progress that has been made in the use of Raman spectroscopy to study
graphene and carbon nanotubes. These are two nanostructured forms of sp2 carbon …

The goal of this chapter is to review the importance of excitons to single-wall carbon
nanotube (SWNT) optics. We have developed the presentation for both researchers in the …

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 …

Not all nanopores are created equal. By definition, nanopores have characteristic diameters
or conduit widths between∼ 1 and 100 nm. However, the narrowest of such pores, perhaps …

Raman spectroscopy is the inelastic scattering of light by matter. Being highly sensitive to
the physical and chemical properties of materials, as well as to environmental effects that …

Molecular detection using near-infrared light between 0.9 and 1.3 eV has important
biomedical applications because of greater tissue penetration and reduced auto-fluorescent …

Application of Raman spectroscopy to analyse carbon nanotubes has been presented.
Having a mixture of various carbon nanotube samples, one can easily distinguish, in a quick …

The electronic and optical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have
inspired their incorporation into new structural,[1–3] microelectronic,[4, 5] and sensing …

We present a comprehensive study of the chiral-index assignment of carbon nanotubes in
aqueous suspensions by resonant Raman scattering of the radial breathing mode. We …

From resonant Raman scattering on isolated nanotubes we obtained the optical transition
energies, the radial breathing mode frequency, and the Raman intensity of both metallic and …
