What Techniques Complement Raman Spectroscopy in Nanotechnology?
To overcome some of the limitations and to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of nanomaterials, Raman spectroscopy is often used in conjunction with other techniques: 1. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): Provides topographical data that complements the molecular information from Raman spectroscopy. 2. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): Offers high-resolution images of the nanostructures, which can be correlated with the Raman spectra. 3. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Provides detailed structural information at the atomic level. 4. X-ray Diffraction (XRD): Offers insights into the crystallographic structure of nanomaterials.
