A variety of different projects are carried out using the Raman and Infra-red spectrometers available in the department. Many of these projects form part of interdisciplinary research groups with other departments and institutes.
A selection of current projects include:
- Raman characterization of Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAM's) and their application in Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering
- Raman characterization of SiC irradiated with neutrons and irradiated with neutrons (Physics)
- Characterizing carbonaceous materials through their Raman spectra (Carbon group)
- Determining the effect of anti-cancer extracts on single blood cells through their Raman spectra (Plant Science)
- The investigation of Ta, Nb, Zr and Hf oxides, fluorides and oxyfluorides (Necsa)
- Fundamental studies on bisphosphonates used in bone cancer treatment (Chemistry)
