Raman Spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to identify molecules and measure their vibrational energies. It is based on the inelastic scattering of light, which causes the energy of the scattered light to differ from the incident light. This difference in energy, which can range from fractions of an electron volt to tens of electron volts, is related to the vibrational energy of the molecule and can be used to identify the molecule and measure its electronic, structural, and thermodynamic properties. Raman spectroscopy is used in a wide range of applications from industrial process control to medical diagnostics. It provides a fast, non-destructive and cost-effective method for studying a variety of materials and can even be used for analyzing materials in extreme environments.
