Direct Raman Spectroscopy for the Study of Organic Materials (artists’ colorants and organic minerals) Ghent University
Raman spectroscopy is a well appreciated molecular technique to identify both, organic and inorganic components. While the technique seems to be frequently used for the investigation of inorganic components, organic molecules often pose more challenges during their investigation. Indeed, fluorescence emission, low Raman scattering efficiency and similar molecular structures (hence similar molecular spectra) seem to hinder broad application. ...
