In the second half of the 19th century, Roman and Portland cements played an essential role as active hydraulic binder material in building construction and façade ornamentation. Size and heterogeneous phase assemblage of unhydrated cement clinker remnants in historical cement stone differ significantly from those of remnants occurring in modern Portland cement clinker burnt in rotary kilns due to limitations of the production technology available in the 19th century (e.g., comminution and homogeneity of the feedstock, burning temperature and regime in the intermittently operated shaft kilns, grinding machinery). In the common analytical approach, thin sections and fracture surfaces of historical Roman and Portland cement mortars are characterised regarding their mineralogical composition and microstructure using optical and electron microscopic imaging techniques. Raman microspectroscopy can be additionally employed for petrographic examination, overcoming some limitations of the methods used so far. The determination of the phase content of residual cement clinker grains in the hydrated matrix allows for the differentiation of Roman and Portland cement binders. As marker phases, we propose the calcium aluminates CA, C12A7, C2AS and C3A – besides the commonly used calcium silicates C2S and C3S – because of their different formation temperatures and stability fields. This study focuses on the identification of different calcium aluminate and aluminoferrite phases in clinker remnants in samples of cast ornaments of three buildings in Switzerland raised between 1875 and 1893; the obtained Raman spectra are compared with fingerprint spectra of the corresponding pure, synthesised clinker phases collected with the same instrument for an unambiguous data interpretation. In addition to these phases, mainly minerals showing no hydraulic activity, such as, wollastonite CS, rankinite C3S2, free lime, portlandite, iron oxides, garnets, augite, albite and feldspathoids have been identified in the sampled historical cement stones by Raman microspectroscopy. As there is a strong relationship between coexisting clinker phases and the chemical composition of the raw meal as well as the burning and cooling history during clinkering, the results can help in understanding the physical and mechanical characteristics of historical cement mortars. This knowledge is fundamental for the choice and the formulation of appropriate repair materials with tailored properties employed in the field of restoration and preservation of the architectural heritage of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Microstrain distributions were acquired in functional thin films by high-resolution X-ray microdiffraction measurements, using polycrystalline CuInSe2 thin films as a model system. This technique not only provides spatial resolutions at the submicrometre scale but also allows for analysis of thin films buried within a complete solar-cell stack. The microstrain values within individual CuInSe2 grains were determined to be of the order of 10^-4. These values confirmed corresponding microstrain distribution maps obtained on the same CuInSe2 layer by electron backscatter diffraction and Raman microspectroscopy.
Raman microspectroscopic imaging was just recently introduced into the analysis of cement stone. Here, we demonstrate this approach on 19th-century Roman and Portland cement mortars and extend it to gypsum-based samples originating from a medieval stucco sculpture (high-burnt gypsum) and a stucco ornament prefabricated at the beginning of the 20th century (plaster of Paris). Furthermore, the distributions of dolomite and Calcite were mapped in an accessory mineral grain with approx. 500 nm lateral Resolution demonstrating the ability for studying alteration processes such as dedolomitisation. As we would like to make this approach accessible to other researchers, we discuss its present status, advantages, limitations and pitfalls.
In the present chapter, the capabilities of Raman spectroscopy for the advanced characterisation of thin films for solar cells are reviewed. Raman spectroscopy is an optical, nondestructive technique based on the inelastic scattering of photons with elemental vibrational excitations in the material. The line shape and position of the Raman bands are determined by the crystalline structure and chemical composition of the measured samples, being sensitive to the presence of crystalline defects, impurities and strain. Presence of peaks characteristic of different phases also allows for the identification of secondary phases that are strongly related to the growth and process conditions of the films. All these aspects account for a strong interest in the analysis of the Raman spectra, providing a powerful nondestructive analytical tool for the structural and chemical assessment of the films. In addition, the combination of a Raman spectrometer with an optical microscope also allows for achieving a high spatial resolutions (of below 1 µm) when mapping surfaces and analyzing depth-resolved phase distributions in thin films.
The present chapter is divided into four main sections: The two first ones are devoted to a revision of the Fundamentals of Raman spectroscopy (Section 17.2) and Vibrational modes in crystalline materials (Section 17.3). Section 17.4 deals with the main experimental considerations involved in the design and implementation of a Raman scattering setup. This is followed by a detailed description of the application of Raman scattering for the structural and chemico-physical analysis of thin film photovoltaic materials (Section 17.5), with the identification of crystalline structure and secondary phases, evaluation of film crystallinity, analysis of chemical composition of semiconductor alloys, characterisation of nanocrystalline and amorphous layers, stress effects and crystal orientations. This includes the description of corresponding state of the art and recent case examples that illustrate the capabilities of the Raman technique for the advanced characterisation of layers and process monitoring in thin-film photovoltaic technologies.
The investigation of the microstructure in functional, polycrystalline thin films is an important contribution to the enhanced understanding of structure–property relationships in corresponding devices. Linear and planar defects within individual grains may affect substantially the performance of the device. These defects are closely related to strain distributions. The present work compares electron and X-ray diffraction as well as Raman microspectroscopy, which provide access to microstrain distributions within individual grains. CuInSe₂ thin films or solar cells are used as a modelsystem. High-resolution electron backscatter diffraction and X-ray microdiffraction as well as Ramanmicrospectroscopy were applied for this comparison. Consistently, microstrain values were determined of the order of 10⁻⁴ by these three techniques. However,only electron backscatter diffraction, X-ray microdiffraction exhibit sensitivities appropriate for mapping local strain changes at the submicrometer level within individual grains in polycrystalline materials.
Currently, there is almost no comprehensive mapping of agricultural cropland because of the lack of fast and affordable mapping methods for important soil properties. Arable land of some hectares in size show a broad range of different nutrient compositions. Because of this heterogeneity wrong fertilization can occur and can cause environmental pollution or lead to smaller harvests and this is simply a waste of resources. The goal of I4S (intelligence for soil) is to develop an integrated system for site-specific soil fertility management. The I4S consortium consists of 10 different institutions, which are testing various sensors for their suitability for the requested applications. Besides the preparation of reference materials, the main task of the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in this project is the method development for online-XRF (x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy) and for online-LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) sensor systems. Both methods have the advantage that there is no or only little sample preparation necessary. Each method provides a fast and simultaneous multi-element analysis. Both measurement setups can be utilized for a mobile application which is fundamental for reaching the goals of I4S. Having finally a set of some reference materials, further work will focus on the online-XRF and online-LIBS methods in order to obtain useable calibration models. The calibration models will then be tested using stationary and moving samples.
The quantification of the elemental content in soils with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is challenging because of matrix effects strongly influencing the plasma formation and LIBS signal. Furthermore, soil heterogeneity at the micrometre scale can affect the accuracy of analytical results. In this paper, the impact of univariate and multivariate data evaluation approaches on the quantification of nutrients in soil is discussed. Exemplarily, results for calcium are shown, which reflect trends also observed for other elements like magnesium, silicon and iron. For the calibration models, 16 certified reference soils were used. With univariate and multivariate approaches, the calcium mass fractions in 60 soils from different testing grounds in Germany were calculated. The latter approach consisted of a principal component analysis (PCA) of adequately pre-treated data for classification and identification of outliers, followed by partial least squares regression (PLSR) for quantification. For validation, the soils were also characterised with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP OES) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. Deviations between the LIBS quantification results and the reference analytical results are discussed.
The use of high-fired gypsum as binder for masonry and joint mortars or stuccowork in Central Europe in the Early and High Middle Ages was a regional specific as it depended on local gypsum deposits. The calcination technology possible at the time resulted in an assemblage of calcium sulphate phases dehydrated to different degrees and partly thermally damaged accessory minerals of the raw gypsum. Not hydrated clusters of firing products preserved in the binder matrix are a typical feature of such mortars. A novel Raman microspectroscopic approach, providing access to the burning history of individual anhydrite grains, was applied to samples from medieval South Tyrolean stucco decorations and sculptures. Beyond that, Raman microspectroscopy was employed for tracing and visualising pyrometamorphic reactions in natural impurities of the kiln run. In the discussed examples mineral thermometry indicates process temperatures above 800°C: the breakdown of magnesium-rich chlorite led to the formation of forsterite Mg2SiO4, while the thermal decomposition of dolomite CaMg(CO3)2 to periclase MgO and lime CaO yielded – after hydration and carbonation – magnesite MgCO3, CaCO3 polymorphs and magnesian calcite. Hydration of periclase in the mixed gypsum paste containing sulphate ions also resulted in magnesium sulphate hydrates, here identified in the form of hexahydrite MgSO4·6H2O. Lower burning temperatures left the accessory minerals in their pristine form, but can be traced by measuring the spectra of individual anhydrite crystals in grains of firing products and evaluating Raman band widths. Throughout the present study, calcination temperatures ranging from approx. 600°C to 900°C were determined.
Raman microspectroscopy provides the means to obtain local orientations on polycrystalline materials at the submicrometer level. The present work demonstrates how orientation-distribution maps composed of Raman intensity distributions can be acquired on large areas of several hundreds of square micrometers. A polycrystalline CuInSe2 thin film was used as a model system. The orientation distributions are evidenced by corresponding measurements using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) on the same identical specimen positions. The quantitative, local orientation information obtained by means of EBSD was used to calculate the theoretical Raman intensities for specific grain orientations, which agree well with the experimental values. The presented approach establishes new horizons for Raman microspectroscopy as a tool for quantitative, microstructural analysis at submicrometer resolution.
