In order to structurally characterize the sample and to determine characteristics related to degree of wave absorption by the sample, some analyses such as Back Scattering Raman, Atten- uated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Biospec- troscopy (ATR–FTIR), X–Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Network An- alyzer (NA) were used. The structure of Single–Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) and Multi–Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) was clearly observable through active modes of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image of Single–Walled Carbon Raman spectra and results of X–Ray Diffraction (XRD).
