X-Ray Raman Spectroscopy—A New Tool to Study Local Structure of Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Asphaltenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are essential components in numerous natural and man made organic compounds. In asphaltenes, knowledge of the electronic structure of both its aromatic and aliphatic components is of crucial importance, when trying to understand and predict its macroscopic properties. *Correspondence: Uwe Bergmann, Physical Biosciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, BerkeleyCA 94720, USA; E-mail: ubergmann@

Mineralogy, Raman spectroscopy and lattice parameter characterization of biotite with hexagonal structure from Borujerd hornfels and migmatites
Biotite is a common rock-forming mineral and accepts a variety of elements in its structure. The valuable information of crystallization conditions of the biotite mineral obtain on natural biotite composition. The biotite mineral is one of the main mineral phases of pelitic rocks which are formed in a wide range of geological conditions. In this research, microscopic mineralogy, Raman spectrosc...
متن کاملMiniaturized time-resolved Raman spectrometer for planetary science based on a fast single photon avalanche diode detector array.
We present recent developments in time-resolved Raman spectroscopy instrumentation and measurement techniques for in situ planetary surface exploration, leading to improved performance and identification of minerals and organics. The time-resolved Raman spectrometer uses a 532 nm pulsed microchip laser source synchronized with a single photon avalanche diode array to achieve sub-nanosecond time...
متن کاملA comparison study on corrosion behavior of zinc phosphate and potassium zinc phosphate anticorrosive pigments
In this article, the effect of potassium on structure and anticorrosion properties of zinc phosphate pigments has been investigated. The co-precipitation method was selected as synthesis method of potassium zinc phosphate pigment. Then the synthesized pigment was characterized by x-ray diffraction XRD, Fourier transform infrared FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. Morphology of the powders was investi...
متن کاملA 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 کاملBulk-sensitive XAS characterization of light elements: from X-ray Raman scattering to X-ray Raman spectroscopy
X-Ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful tool for element-specific characterization of local structure and chemistry. Although application of XAS in the hard X-ray region is now routine, the soft X-ray region (containing light-element K-edges) presents a number of experimental problems. Most of the difficulties, including surface sensitivity, restricted sample environments, and radiati...
