RAO'S
GROUP AT CLEMSON UNIVERSITY
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 properties and applications of single-wall and multi-wall
carbon nanotubes. Other research topics include characterization of semiconducting
nanobelts, nanowires and thermoelectric materials. Raman scattering techniques
combined with optimized growth conditions for arc, CVD, and laser vaporization
serve as our tools for exploring the properties of these nanomaterials.
