Introduction

Welcome to the Romanian Database of Raman Spectroscopy website. The RDRS website was last updated on and it contains 30 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.

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 Nicolae, Apopei Andrei Ionut, Buzatu Andrei - Romanian Database of Raman Spectroscopy: http://rdrs.uaic.ro

What's New

14 January 2010

New update:
• over 30 artefacts sample with black, red, white and blue pigments
• new minerals added

11 November 2009

New data were updated (14 Minerals with 14 Spectra: VI.Sulfates, Chromates, Molybdates -> Anhydrous Acid and Sulfates, Hydrated Acid and Sulfates and Anhydrous Sulfates Containing Hydroxyl or Halogen class).

12 October 2009

From Monday 28 September 2009, Google has indexed the site; http://rdrs.uaic.ro is on top of relevant searches. For example, go to the google page and search for: Raman Spectroscopy, calcite spectrum, siderite spectrum, rhodochrosite vibration mode and much more relevant keywords.

14 September 2009

Crystal structure update. New interactive display (Jmol Applet) of the chemical structure. This applet requires Java and JavaScript installed/enabled on the client browser. See www.java.com for the plug-in required to view the interactive structural data.

24 August 2009

Now, the sample image could be enlarged by clicking on it. Example: Calcite

15 August 2009

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

14 August 2009

New data were updated (10 Minerals with 11 Spectra: V.Carbonates, Nitrates, Borates -> Anhydrous Carbonates and Hydroxyl or Halogen class).

How to use RDRS web page

RDRS web page consists of a home page, 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 page". On this page you can find information on many topics such as: Introduction in Raman Spectroscopy, Raman theory (quantum theory and classical theory), basic selections rule, molecular vibration, application, advantages and disadvantages, 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.
