22. 700 (see correspondent SEM micrographs in Figs. 3 and 7, respectively), the use of X50 (in place of X100) objective has been necessary to focus the laser spot. Worse S/N ratios and broader bands are obtained in the Raman spectra of these samples. In addition, very narrow spectral features are detected, superimposed to the main bands, at higher frequency. As their nature needs to be further investigated, such features are here disregarded.
