Scanning micro-raman spectroscopy on carbon-rich residues of primitive chondrites: A tool for chondrite classification and stardust analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction: Organic matter in primitive meteorites may have mostly been formed in the interstellar medium [e.g. 1-3]. After formation of the solar system these molecules have been incorporated into the parent bodies of the various primitive meteorites [2]. Subsequent aqueous alteration and thermal metamorphism have altered the initially similar set of compounds including their carbonaceous microstructures.

A RIGOROUS COMPARISON OF METHODS FOR MULTI-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES PURIFICATION USING RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT’s) were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in a fluidized bed reactor under the flow of methane and hydrogen gases. A Cobalt-molybdenum/magnesium oxide (Co-Mo/MgO) nanocatalyst was used as the catalyst of the process. The samples were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The effects of d...
متن کاملA Raman spectroscopic study of organic matter in interplanetary dust particles and meteorites using multiple wavelength laser excitation
Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate insoluble organic matter (IOM) from a range of chondritic meteorites, and a suite of interplanetary dust particles (IDPs). Three monochromatic excitation wavelengths (473 nm, 514 nm, 632 nm) were applied sequentially to assess variations in meteorite and IDP Raman peak parameters (carbon D and G bands) as a function of excitation wavelength (i.e., disp...

متن کاملSystematics and Evaluation of Meteorite Classification
Classification of meteorites is largely based on their mineralogical and petrographic characteristics and their whole-rock chemical and O-isotopic compositions. According to the currently used classification scheme, meteorites are divided into chondrites, primitive achondrites, and achondrites. There are 15 chondrite groups, including 8 carbonaceous (CI, CM, CO, CV, CK, CR, CH, CB), 3 ordinary ...

The carbonaceous Murchison chondrite is one of the most studied meteorites. It is considered to be an astrobiology standard for detection of extraterrestrial organic matter. Considerable work has been done to resolve the elemental composition of this meteorite. Raman spectroscopy is a very suitable technique for non-destructive rapid in situ analyses to establish the spatial distribution of car...
