Zastosowanie spektroskopii Ramana w chemii radiacyjnej i w innych dziedzinach badań

Raman spectroscopy has evolved into one of thje most powerfull tools for fundamental investigations and practical characterizations of gases, liquids and solids. The technique can unravel almost any kind of low-frequency excitations in almost any type of solids. Compared with other techniques of analitical chemistry, it has the advantages of non-destructive in situ applications, high spectral and spacial resolution and possibility of using microscopic surface topographies. In this paper some examples of Raman applications in radiation chemistry, characterization of advanced materials, compounds of pharmaceutical interest and applications to the identification of pigments on paintings and manuscripts are given.
