Abstract

Raman spectroscopy is a very powerful tool for material analysis, allowing for exploring the properties of a wide range of different materials. Since its discovery, Raman spectroscopy has been used to investigate several features of materials such carbonaceous and inorganic properties, providing useful information on their phases, functions, and defects. Furthermore, techniques such as surface and tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy have extended the field of application of Raman analysis to biological and analytical fields. Additionally, the robustness and versatility of Raman instrumentations represent a promising solution for performing on-field analysis for a wide range of materials. Recognizing the many hot applications of Raman spectroscopy, we herein overview the main and more recent applications for the investigation of a wide range of materials, such as carbonaceous and biological materials. We also provide a brief but exhaustive theoretical background of Raman spectroscopy, also providing deep insight into the analytical achievements.

Highlights

  • Non-destructive spectroscopic techniques represent the top-choice for any kind of process monitoring [1,2].Among all of the available techniques, Raman spectroscopy is one of the most solid and versatile tools to analyze several materials, both in lab and on-field conditions [3]

  • The G’ band intensity can increase thanks to the inner-tube interaction between the carbon nanotubes. This phenomenon is due to the quantum interference 10 between of 29 Raman scattering paths resulting from the interaction between the walls of the carbon nanotubes

  • Raman spectroscopy in order to evaluate the role of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) on graphene fabricated by chemical vapor deposition
