Abstract:
We measured the Raman scattering of graphene deposited nanohole arrays. As the sample was azimuthally rotated, periodicities of 7.5 degrees and 5 degrees were revealed for the 2700 cm(-1) and 1600 cm(-1) Raman lines of graphene, respectively. This is contrary to the scattered laser line azimuthal symmetry of 30 degrees for the hole array alone. When a reference dye (stilbene) was deposited on the graphenated platforms, its Raman peak shifted as a function of incident (tilt) angle; this was contrary to the unshifted 1600 cm(-1) peak of graphene itself. The data suggest strong coupling between the molecular vibrations as portrayed by Raman spectra and surface plasmon polariton waves propagating along the graphene surface.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
Raman Spectroscopy: Overview
However, a small fraction of the scattered light exhibits a frequency shift due to the exchange of energy between the incident photons and the...
