Raman spectroscopy has been successfully used to detect nanomolar concentrations of biologically relevant molecules, to distinguish between structurally similar peptides (e.g. aEp3 and a5pi integrins [22]) and also to detect peptide S-nitrosylation and phosphorylation [23, 24]. Raman spectroscopy has been used to determine the functionalisation of carbon nanotubes and other particles with bioactive peptides (e.g. RGD), whereby their biofunctionalisation has enabled their accumulation at specific sites (e.g. tumours) within small animal models [25]. Furthermore, the in vivo distribution and... 

Very recently author of this review successfully hydrogenated fullerenes inside of single walled carbon nanotubes (so called peapods). Evidence of hydrogenation was provided by NMR studies and Raman spectroscopy (Abou-Hamad et al. 2009). 

Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) experiments on silver and gold nanoclusters have demonstrated large enhancement levels and field confinement of 5 nm or less for various samples such as single-walled carbon nanotubes.1 However, the locations of these conditions cannot be controlled but are instead determined by the specific nanostructures used. That is, the target molecules have... 

The reduction of the amido functions of amide-solubilized MWCNTs by LiAlH4 afforded the corresponding hydroxy-substituted CNTs, confirmed by FT-IR and XPS studies [133]. No morphology change of the nanotubes after reduction could be observed by Raman spectroscopy [133].

Raman spectroscopy has been used to determine various features and characterization of carbon nanotubes, and has been instrumental in determining 1D electronic structure and mechanical strength and compliance of these materials (69, 61). 

The disulfide nanotubes have been characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The Raman bands for the MoS2 nanotubes are similar to those of the bulk 2H-phase, except that the bands of the nanostructures show slight broadening. The composite nanotubes like those of Ti-Mo-S and Nb-W-S were also characterized by Raman spectroscopy.41 45 The bands were similar to those of the undoped nanotubes, except for the appearance of a new band at 313 cm 1 which has been assigned to the increase in disorder owing to the presence of Nb.41...

The various DWNTs have been characterized with respect to composition and structure. In particular, the effect of B- and N-doping on the dimensions of the nanotubes has been examined by Raman spectroscopy.
