Characterization of carbon nanotube (CNT) by Raman Spectroscopy (CAT#: STEM-ST-0046-WXH)

Introduction

A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a tube made of carbon with diameters typically measured in nanometers. Carbon nanotubes can exhibit remarkable electrical conductivity, while others are semiconductors. They also have exceptional tensile strength and thermal conductivity because of their nanostructure and strength of the bonds between carbon atoms. In addition, they can be chemically modified. These properties are expected to be valuable in many areas of technology, such as electronics, optics, composite materials, nanotechnology, and other applications of materials science.
Raman scattering is one of the prime techniques for the characterization of carbon nanotube, which includes study related to their vibrational, electronic and optical properties.
