Abstract
In this research, an innovative procedure is proposed to elaborate Raman spectra obtained from nanostructured and disordered solids. As a challenging case study, biochar, a bio-derived carbon based material, was selected. The complex structure of biochar (i.e., channeled surface, inorganic content) represents a serious challenge for Raman characterization. As widely reported, the Raman spectra are closely linked to thermal treatments of carbon material. The individual contributions to the Raman spectra are difficult to identify due to the numerous peaks that contribute to the spectra. To tackle this problem, we propose a brand new approach based on the introduction, on sound theoretical grounds, of a mixed Gaussian--Lorentzian lineshape. As per the experimental part, biochar samples were carbonized in an inert atmosphere at various temperatures and their respective spectra were successfully decomposed using the new lineshape. The evolution of the structure with carbonization temperature was investigated by Raman and XRD analysis. The results of the two techniques fairly well agree. Compared to other approaches commonly reported in the literature this method (i) gives a sounder basis to the lineshape used in disordered materials, and (ii) appears to reduce the number of components, leading to an easier understanding of their origin.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
