Spectroscopic Investigation of Carbon Nanostructures

In this research study, Raman spectroscopy was utilized as a principal tool to assess the vibrational dynamics of carbon nanostructures (carbon allotropes) and develop a structural description. This work was concerned with carbon allotropes due to their various applications in many fields. Raman spectroscopy as a practical characterization technique of carbon allotropes was investigated. Also, the spectral analysis of FT-IR was presented too. Raman spectral analysis demonstrated the basic bands, including Radial breathing mode (RBM), G, D, and 2D-bands, which are affected due to structural differences of the carbon allotropes. This yields information about the crystal structure and its interesting physical properties.
