Raman Spectra Database of Minerals and Inorganic Materials

Raman spectroscopy can offer valuable information on the physics and the chemistry of materials, such as phase transition, lattice dynamics, chemical reaction, identification, and more. By the technological development of the CCD, notch filters, and semiconductor lasers, Raman spectroscopy is now established as the technique that is easy to use and open to every laboratories related to material sciences. However, if one compares Raman with X-ray diffraction, the most versatile identification technique for ceramics/mineral research, the amounts of standard spectra obtainable from commercial databases and data books are not satisfactory, especially for inorganic materials.
