Raman Spectroscopy of Graphite and Carbon Materials and Its Recent Application

Recent study of the Raman spectroscopy for graphite and carbon materials were reviewed, including the explanation for the structural-sensitive spectrum, the results of the measurements with very high signal-to-noise ratio, the excitation wavelength dependence, the method for the characterization of texture and microstructure and the Raman microprobe application. Some issues were also pointed out to utilize the structural-sensitive Raman spectroscopy to characterization of a variety of carbon materials.
