Raman spectroscopy on XPS Nexsa
Raman spectroscopy is a technique that is immensely popular. Since the XPS Nexsa is the only instrument at DTU Nanolab with a Raman capability, it is therefore obvious that it will attract users with a demand for Raman spectroscopy. It is, however, not our intention that the Nexsa be used as a stand-alone Raman spectrometer. Such demands must be satisfied by a dedicated Raman spectrometer elsewhere. If you cannot come with a reason why it would be a good idea to have Raman spectroscopy in conjunction (or even coincident in the same spot on the sample) with any of the other techniques offered by the Nexsa, you will not be authorized to use the instrument.

Process knowledge on Raman spectroscopy
So far we don't have any experience in using the Raman setup on the XPS Nexsa - so there is nothing that we can show here. We will start building this database once we use the instrument. Until then please watch the videos above and have a look at the comparison page where a list of articles and application notes have been collected.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any exciting application or article on Raman spectroscopy.
