First-order Raman scattering from graphite irradiated by an electron beam has been studied by using the laser microprobe technique. An approximately linear relation is exhibited between the linewidth of the E, g mode and the reciprocal of the crystallite size. The observed linewidths are larger than those calculated by using the known dispersion curve and the wave-vector uncertainty.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
