Raman spectroscopy of the amorphous phase from silicon to pharmaceutical drugs – a brief overview

Zafar Iqbal sheds light on how Raman spectroscopy is used to detect and understand the amorphous phase in a range of solids, providing examples of his own laboratory applications.

Abstract

The following is a short overview of the use of Raman spectroscopy, particularly in the low wavenumber lattice and intermolecular mode region, to detect and understand the amorphous phase in solids ranging from that in plasma-grown nanoscale silicon to organic molecule pharmaceutical drugs. Examples from work in the author’s laboratory on silicon and pharmaceutical drugs, acetaminophen, fenofibrate and griseofulvin are discussed.
