This review covers past and present developments of analytical chemistry in the field of
Cultural Heritage (CH), from the methods of characterization of materials to the procedures …

The potential of on-site Raman microspectroscopy for the analysis of colorless and colored
amorphous silicates is reviewed. We present the experimental procedures and models used …

Improvements in the instrumentation for dispersive and interferometric Fourier transform (FT)
Raman microscopy have overcome many of the earlier limitations of these techniques, thus …

We demonstrate the utility of Raman spectroscopy as a technique for the identification of
ancient glasses and enamel coatings of ceramics. As for any silicate glasses, the addition of …

Two palettes, characteristic of the production of the Sèvres Factory (Manufacture Nationale
de Sèvres), and representative of ancient glazing techniques, were studied. One was made …

It is said that during a voyage to Europe in the summer of 1921, the Indian physicist
Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman (1888–1970) looked at the wonderful blue opalescence of …

Selected porcelain representative of the different production technologies used from the
eighteenth to the twentieth century at the French Royal Manufacture, which became The …

The ability of Raman spectroscopy to characterize amorphous materials makes this
technique ideal to study alkali silica reaction (ASR) gels. The structure of several synthetic …

The utility of Raman spectroscopy as a non‐destructive technique for the characterization of
glassy (alumino) silicates (modern or ancient glazes and glasses) is demonstrated. The …

The technique of Raman spectroscopy was used to examine the composition of ancient
African domestic clay pottery of South African origin. One sample from each of four …
