Raman Spectroscopy and Imaging of Low-Energy Phonons
David Tuschel
External vibrational modes or low-energy phonons are very sensitive to crystal structure. Here, the author demonstrates the practicality of imaging low-energy phonons to characterize 2D crystals and provides some cautions to keep in mind. Read more >>

IR Spectral Interpretation Workshop
How to Properly Compare Spectra, and Determining Alkane Chain Length from Infrared Spectra
Brian C. Smith
When comparing spectra to ensure product quality and safety, one must determine if two spectra are the same. In part one, we show you how. In part two, we conclude our discussion of the spectra of straight-chain alkanes by answering the following question: Can infrared spectra be used to determine alkane chain length?
