Abstract:

Raman Spectroscopy is an important characterization technique due to its ability to provide fingerprint information about materials. The experiment starts with instructive measurements on sample from scientific research. Undergraduate students can not only obtain a deep understanding of the principles of Raman spectroscopy but also gain a sense of discovery characteristic of real research experiences. The striking results could successfully pique the students' interests, which motivate students to investigate more detailed explorations in this area. The students were provided opportunity to "discover" the phenomena by a careful analysis of sample based on their interests, which allows the students to become familiar with operation and data analysis process. Therefore, the experiment could effectively improve students' learning initiative and research skills, which have excellent pedagogical value.

Key words: Raman spectroscopy, Undergraduate laboratory, Scientific research, Comprehensive ability
