碳纳米材料，如碳纳米管（CNT）和石墨烯具有优异的电学性能和机械性能。石墨烯（2004年在Science杂志上首次报道）是单层碳原子构成的片状材料。它可以作为其他碳材料如石墨、碳纳米管和富勒烯的基本构成单元，比如单层石墨烯可以卷曲成碳纳米管。

显微拉曼光谱可以解决碳材料研究中的很多问题。在碳纳米管研究方面，可以表征管径、手性、用于评估结构是否有序以及导电性质。在石墨烯研究方面，拉曼能够快速获得层数、张/压应力等信息，并判定结构的有序性。

A step further is a combination of Raman spectroscopy with Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) techniques. Such combination allows the user to take advantage of these two analysis methods within a single experiment platform. The colocalized Raman-SPM measurements give separate information from Raman spectroscopy (chemical characterization and imaging) and SPM (physical properties), acquired from the same region of the sample. In contrast to this, Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) measurements provide the chemical information (like Raman) with nanometer spatial resolution (like SPM).
