✦ Synopsis

Although the inelastic process of Raman scattering of light can originate from the creation or annihilation of polaritons, plasmons, magnons or any elementary excitations in molecules and solids, it is the phonons, which are the quanta of atomic vibration that are the main source of Raman spectra in the literature, and are the focus of this chapter. In sp 2 nanocarbons, the phonons, like the electrons, depend on the atomic structure and the Raman phonon spectra can be used to study the similarities and differences between the various materials within the sp 2 nanocarbon family, thereby providing a sensitive tool to distinguish one member of the sp 2 nanocarbon family from another.
