single-walled carbon nanotubes (swnts) with high yield and quality were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (cvd) over co-mo/ mgo nanocatalyst in a fluidized bed reactor. different parameters such as temperature, the ratio of hydrocarbon source to hydrogen, the flow rate of gas, growth time, the size of catalyst particles, heating rate, and the kind of hydrocarbon source were examined t...

Introduction: Laser Raman spectroscopy offers the exciting opportunity to interrogate rocks in their natural geological context, preserving the mineral constituents along with their textural and morphological information (Figure 1). Microscopic Raman spectroscopy is a nondestructive means of generating two dimensional maps of mineralogy on the order of grain sizes. Because of its versatility, R...

currently a relatively small percentage of conventional pharmaceuticals, continues to expand with predicted revenues of over USD 100 billion for 2010. With continual demand for high fidelity products, from recombinant therapeutic proteins to nucleic acid-based medicinal products, the need for reliable, cost effective and appropriate analytical techniques for assessing the conformity of the prod...

One of the most exciting developments in Raman spectroscopy in the last decade has been its application to cells and tissues for diagnostic and pharmaceutical applications, and in particular its use in the analysis of cellular dynamics. Raman spectroscopy is rapidly advancing as a cell imaging method that overcomes many of the limitations of current techniques and is earning its place as a rout...

We describe Raman spectroscopy-based method of measuring thermal conductivity of thin films and review significant results achieved with this technique pertinent to graphene and other two-dimensional materials. The optothermal Raman method was instrumental for the discovery of unique heat conduction properties of graphene. In this method, Raman spectroscopy is used to determine the local temper...

A comparative study of anti-resonance effects in InSe and InSe doped with GaS, using the resonant Raman spectroscopy is presented. The nonpolar optical phonon of  symmetry in InSe exhibits a pronounced decrease in the Raman cross-section at excitation energy 2.585 eV. In InSe doped with GaS samples, it is found that the anti-resonance behavior decreases as doping contents are increased. To acco...
