Professor
Rao's laboratory at Clemson
University focuses
its research primarily on the synthesis and characterization of carbon
nanotubes. We are dedicated to understanding the fundamental properties and
applications of single-wall and multi-wall carbon nanotubes. Other research
topics include characterization of semiconducting nanobelts, nanowires and
thermoelectric materials. Characterization techniques such as Raman scattering, infrared, UV-visible,
and fluorescence spectroscopy, harmonic detection of resonance method
(HDR), atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy, and electrical
transport measurements
combined with growth techniques such as the electrical arc, CVD, and laser vaporization methods serve as
our tools for exploring the properties of several nano-structured
materials.
