Soot is generated from incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of organic compounds. Soot strongly absorbs solar radiation contributing to global warming. Additionally, soot can enter deeply into human organs causing various types of cancers. Understanding soot nano-structures and properties is essential to predict their impacts on climate and human health. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a powerful techniq
