Abstract:A new recording technique for the measurement of infrared spectra of powders using ATR spectroscopy is presented in this paper. The method, called ATRIMS (attenuated total reflection immersion medium spectroscopy), circumvents some ofthe problems of conventional methods. With ATRIMS, an ATR reflection element is covered with a thin film of liquid paraffin (Nujol) as an immersion medium for the powder. Compared to ATR spectroscopy of dry powders on the surface of a reflection element, ATRIMS shows higher band i… Show more
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.
