Description of the method
In Raman spectroscopy, the material under investigation is irradiated with monochromatic light, usually from a laser. The frequency differences relative to the incident light correspond to the energies characteristic of the material’s rotational, vibrational, phonon or spin-flip processes. Similar to the spectrum obtained in infrared spectroscopy, conclusions can be drawn about the substance under investigation from the resulting spectrum.
Examples of applications
- Non-destructive quality control (crystal structures, molecular structures, degrees of cross-linking, degradation processes)
- Identification of unknown substances
