This study investigates the use of spatial Raman imaging to identify variances and detect defects in carbon-based materials. By applying spatial imaging techniques to various samples we aim to map structural irregularities and variations across the sample surfaces. Hyperspectral Raman imaging provides detailed insights into vibrational properties, enabling the visualization of layer thickness and the detection of defects such as cracks or dislocations. This approach could enhance the ability to identify and analyze imperfections in graphene, improving material quality control and advancing research in carbon-based materials for various applications.
