5 unusual facts about Raman spectroscopy


Beta barrel

Beta-barrels in proteins may carry out low-frequency breathing-like motion as observed by the Raman spectroscopy

Chrisstanleyite

A similar ore deposit was found in Northern Australia and had had microthermometry and low-temperature laser Raman spectroscopy utilized in this assemblage.

Concanavalin A

Concanavalin A has a low-frequency wave number of 20 cm−1 in its Raman spectra.

Isotopically pure diamond

Isotopically pure 13C diamond layers 20 micrometers thick are used as stress sensors due to the advantageous Raman spectroscopy properties of 13C.

Xenon dioxide

Its structure and identity was confirmed by cooling it to −78 °C so that Raman spectroscopy could be performed before it decomposed.
