Raman spectroscopy in the Netherlands
Molecular, vibrational, phase, and stress information from Raman scattering. What it answers, what it cannot establish on its own, what a laboratory will ask, and how many Dutch facilities publish it.
What it answers
- Which molecular or crystalline form is present — for example which carbon phase or polymorph?
- How do composition or stress vary across a map of the sample?
- Is a carbon coating or deposit amorphous, graphite-like or diamond-like?
What it cannot establish alone
Before you contact a laboratory
What a laboratory will ask.
A laboratory can say whether it can help only when these are known. Unknowns are fine; say so.
A question a laboratory can answer
We deposit diamond-like carbon coatings on tool steel and want to compare the carbon bonding of coatings made with two process settings, five spots per sample.
Potential Dutch facilities
6 facilities publish Raman spectroscopy capability in Amsterdam, Groningen, Nijmegen, Noordwijk and Wageningen.
Leads are based on published capabilities; current suitability and availability must be confirmed with the laboratory.
