Spectrometer photo diode array

The molecular structures of the surface vanadium oxide species on the different supports were examined with Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectrometer system possessed a Spectra-Physics Ar+ laser (model 2020-05) tuned to the exciting line at 514.5 nm. The radiation intensity at the samples was varied from 10 to 70 mW. The scattered radiation was passed through a Spex Triplemate spectrometer (Model 1877) coupled to a Princeton Applied Research OMA III optical multichannel analyzer (Model 1463) with an intensified photo diode array cooled to 233 K. Slit widths ranged from 60 to 550 m. The overall resolution was better than 2 cm l. For the in situ Raman spectra of dehydrated samples, a pressed wafer was placed into a stationary sample holder that was installed in an in situ cell. Spectra were recorded in flowing oxygen at room temperature after the samples were dehydrated in flowing oxygen at 573 K.
