Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
Dalhousie University
$141,441.00
Raman Spectrometer
FY 2011-12
Summary
This RTI application is to fund an FT Raman spectrometer, as a replacement for an FT Raman spectrometer, purchased in 1994. Raman spectroscopy is a critically important tool for our very strong materials research programs. For studies of condensed matter, Raman spectroscopy is an important fingerprint to characterize materials. Raman spectroscopy also is an important tool to correlate with theoretical understanding of dynamics in materials.
The expected lifetime of an FT Raman spectrometer is 10 years, so our present spectrometer is now long past its expected lifetime. Our spectrometer required significant repairs last year and the counts are diminishing, indicating pending failure of the main laser. A replacement is urgently required.
