Raman Microscopy of Graphene Part 2
In this virtual demo, we show how to perform high-resolution mapping and analysis of graphene films using the RM5 Raman Microscope and Ramacle software.
In it, we show how to identify and interpret:
Layer number (monolayer, bilayer, etc.)
Defects and disorder (D band intensity and distribution)
Strain and stress patterns (G and 2D band shifts)
This tutorial covers the full workflow, from sample setup and spectral acquisition to advanced data analysis and visualisation. It's ideal for materials scientists, nanotechnology researchers, and Raman spectroscopy users aiming to extract more from their graphene data.
