Carbon nanotube photo-physics

A review is given of how resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) and photoluminescence (PL) can be used to reveal unique information about nanostructures, 1nm in diameter, thus providing new techniques for probing the electronic and vibrational properties of nanostructures with particular regard to nanosensing applications. Special attention is given to recent advances made in this field and to perspectives about future research directions.
