How do Raman Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) contribute to nanotechnology research?
Raman Spectroscopy and FTIR are vibrational spectroscopy techniques used to characterize molecular structures and interactions in nanomaterials. Raman Spectroscopy measures inelastic scattering of light, providing information about vibrational modes, whereas FTIR measures the absorption of infrared light, providing details about molecular bonding and functional groups. Both techniques are used to study chemical composition, molecular interactions, and structural properties of nanomaterials.
