Franziska Kolb was a former member of the Chair for Ferrous Metallurgy at the Montan University of Leoben. Her task was to prepare iron ores and reduced materials in co-operation with the chair of Geology and Economic Geology. In 2013 she joined the Materials Center Leoben Forschung GmbH in the field of Micro-electronics.Marco Deluca obtained his PhD in Materials Science from the Kyoto Institute of Technology (Japan) in 2009. He then joined the Materials Center Leoben Forschung GmbH, where he is presently in charge of Raman Spectroscopy, mainly for the study of structural-property relationships in electro-ceramic and semi-conductor materials.
Abstract
In order to be able to carry out reliable measurements using a Raman Spectrometer it is important to know what stresses and localised changes have been induced in the specimen by the preparation process. To investigate this, a trial was set up to investigate the changes which occur in the structure of the material as a result of the specimen preparation process, thus leading to an optimum method of preparation for Raman Spectroscopy.
Kurzfassung
Um gute Messungen am Raman-Spektrometer durchführen zu können, ist es wichtig zu wissen, welche Spannungen bzw. lokale Änderungen in der Probe erst durch die Präparation entstanden sind. Hierfür wurde ein Versuchsaufbau erstellt, der über die entstandenen Veränderungen der Materialstruktur Aufschluss gibt und somit eine optimale Schliffpräparation für die Raman-Spektroskopie ermöglicht.
