Raman Spectroscopy in Graphene Related Systems

Recent work has shown that Raman spectroscopy has the potential to become one of the most important tools for nanoscience and nanometrology, i.e. for standardization and industrial quality of goods based on nanoscience. However, Raman spectroscopy is perceived as being too complicated for a non-specialist. This book is aimed to be a pedagogic reference for educating the community on how they can use Raman spectroscopy to study and characterize nanostructured materials. It will drive students, researchers and engineers towards expanding future fundamental research frontiers and developing new applications for nanocarbons such as nanotubes, nanographites, and graphene as well as the use of Raman spectroscopy for studying the science and nanometrology of these carbon nanostructures.
