Raman spectrometer

Equipment description

To investigate the thermomechanical stress present in the materials and interfaces, a new  Raman confocal microscope coupled to a laser source and spectrometer is used.  The Raman spectrometer can be used for the investigation of inter- and intra-molecular charge and energy transfer, fast coherent and incoherent dynamics, and nonlinear optical response in complex systems like molecular crystals, molecular aggregates, metal and semiconductor nanoparticles. Optical properties will be detected also for properly synthetized nanostructured materials, like core-shells, spherical nanoparticles and metallic substrates.

Raman spectroscopy probes the chemical structure of a material and provides information about:

• Chemical structure and identity
• Phase and polymorphism
• Intrinsic stress/strain
• Contamination and impurity
