Romanian Database of Raman Spectroscopy - Introduction

Welcome to the Romanian Database of Raman Spectroscopy website. The RDRS website was last updated on and it contains 46 individual mineral species (natural and synthetic) (+32 artefacts sample with black, red, white and blue pigments ) with description of crystal structure, sample image, number of sample, origin, Raman spectrum and vibrations, Raman discussion and references.

If you are new to RDRS, do not forget to subscribe:

This website is under construction therefore please report any mistake or proposal by e-mail to: andrei_ionut1987@yahoo.com.

It is prohibited that you use any information of RDRS for profit-making or commercial use without obtaining proper permission from RDRS.

Also, when using the data from the Romanian Database of Raman Spectroscopy in your publication or presentation, it is necessary to specify in the bibliography section the following text: Buzgar N., Apopei A. I., Buzatu A. (2009) - Romanian Database of Raman Spectroscopy (http://rdrs.uaic.ro).

How to use RDRS web page

RDRS web page consists of a home page, a raman spectroscopy, a search data page, a links page, a about page and a contact page. Although Romanian Database of Raman Spectroscopy is a completely free access site.

Each page has in the left side a classification of pigments and minerals (Dana classification) from which you can easily navigate from one class to another.

"Raman spectroscopy" blog. On this blog you can find information on many topics such as: Introduction in Raman Spectroscopy, Raman theory (quantum theory and classical theory), basic selections rule, molecular vibrations, calculation of vibrational frequencies, software and more.

When you click "Search data" button at the top of the page, you will move on to the search page which is an entrance of a wonderful world of spectral database. This page has important tips in the top of the page. Users can search the vibration (peak positions in cm^-1), a peak assignement (Translational, Rotational, ν₁, ν₂, ν₃ ... vibration), a mineral name, a molecular formula. The last column "More information" contains a link to the page of mineral and much more additions on the Search data page.

"Links" button at the top of the page will move to the Links page, the page contains helpful links.

You can see the structures of the Romanian Database of Raman Spectroscopy using 3D glasses (red/cyan, red/blue or red/green) [more information].
