Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview01:26

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview

1.5K
A conventional Raman spectrophotometer includes a laser source, a sample holding system, a wavelength selector, and a detector.
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...

Raman Spectroscopy: Overview

2.0K
The underlying principle of Raman spectroscopy is based on the interaction between light and matter, specifically molecules' inelastic scattering of photons. When a monochromatic beam of light, typically from a laser source, interacts with a sample, most scattered light has the same frequency as the incident light. This is known as Rayleigh scattering.
However, a small fraction of the scattered light exhibits a frequency shift due to the exchange of energy between the incident photons and...

  • Application of a multicomponent convection-diffusion model to experimental mole fraction data.
  • Validation using binary (cyclohexane + toluene) and ternary (1-propanol + 1-chlorobutane + heptane) systems.

Main Results:

  • Excellent agreement between experimental data and literature values for binary and ternary systems.
  • Accurate determination of Fick diffusion coefficients from fitted convection-diffusion models.
  • Demonstration that ternary diffusion coefficients can be obtained from as few as one or two experiments.
