A new method for the analysis of oxygen-containing inorganosulfur compounds was developed utilizing laser Raman spectrometry. The Raman spectra in the 1400–200 cmcm−1 region was observed for nine different oxygen-containing inorganosulfur compounds dissolved in aqueous solutions and in the solid states. The Raman spectra of these compounds exhibited the characteristic spectral features for oxygen-sulfur inorganic compounds. The relation between the Raman frequencies and the chemical structures of the compounds is discussed in terms of characteristic group frequencies analysis and structural parameters. A table of these characteristic Raman bands and the quantitative aspects for the determination for some of these compounds in aqueous solution are also reported. With the use of the thiocyanate ion as an internal standard, the relation between the peak intensities and concentrations of the compounds exhibited good linearity. It is also found that simultaneous determination of several different compounds is possible. The laser Raman spectroscopic method is shown to be very useful for the structural analysis, identification, and determination of these compounds in solid states and in aqueous solutions.
The segregation of chromium in steel is interested because chromium has a good anti-corrosion property. The objective of this study is to clarify the surface segregation of chromium atoms in a Fe-5at.%Cr alloy. There was no segregation in the bulk analysis of the specimen after solution treatment. However after tempering at 700°C surface segregation of chromium was observed. In (110), segregation was observed at the first layer. In (100) and (121), segregation was observed at the first two layers. In (111), segregation was observed within the surface three atomic layers. Those behaviors can be understood by the geometry of the atomic structure
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
