ABSTRACTWe demonstrate the potential of Raman spectroscopy as an on-site technique for the characterization of ancient ceramics. This non-destructive analysis offers a way to get information on the process and even sometimes on the date of ancient artifacts. Much information remains written in the microstructure of ceramics bodies and in the nanostructure of glasses, glaze and enamels. Raman signatures are specific to the technology that was applied to a given starting batch and to the process of manufacture. Recent studies that demonstrate: i) the use of cassiterite for opacification and its role in Islamic three-color wares and polychrome lustred pottery from the Abbasid to Fatimid period, ii) the invention of the “hybrid-paste porcelain” by the Duke of Medici, known as Medici porcelain and of the “soft-paste” porcelain by the French Manufactures in the eighteen century (Chantilly, Mennecy, Saint-Cloud), iii) the development of the underglaze pigment technology by Iznik and then Kütayha Ottoman potters; iii) the use of lapis lazuli gem as an unexpected pigment in the Iran Lajvardina wares. Finally we explore the relationship between glass makers and potters.

Variable pressure scanning electron microscopy (VPSEM) coupled with other non-destructive analytical methods, such as energy dispersive (EDS) and Raman spectroscopy (RS) offers new capabilities for non-invasive imaging and chemical characterization of archaeological materials. This article underlines the application of VPSEM-EDS-RS on bioarchaeological specimens of pre-Columbian mummies from the Tarapacá Valley in northern Chile. The aim of the scientific investigations is to identify nonanatomical features and to provide qualitative and quantitative information at molecular levels, complementing the morphological record from studies in physical anthropology, in an effort to understand mortuary practices in the Tarapacá Valley and the effects of the burial environment in the preservation of mummified human remains.

ABSTRACTThe formation and thermal stability of Ni- and Ni(Pt) silicide on narrow polycrystalline Si (poly-Si) lines have been investigated using the non-destructive micro-Raman technique. The presence of Ni or Ni(Pt)Si on poly-Si lines with linewidths ranging from 0.5 gtm to 0.25 μm has been monitored by a distinct Raman peak at around 215 cm−1. Ni(Pt)Si was clearly identified to be present up to a RTA temperature of 900°C on narrow poly-Si lines as compared to pure NiSi which was found only up to 750°C. Raman scattering from the 100×100 μm2 poly-Si pads showed the formation of NiSi2 at 750°C for pure Ni-salicidation and 900°C for Ni(Pt)-salicidation respectively. The difference in the stability of NiSi on the poly-Si pads and lines is discussed in terms of agglomeration, inversion and/or nucleation of NiSi2that could be due to difference in nucleation sites and/or stress. In addition, a correlation between the line sheet resistance and the presence of Ni silicide was found using micro-Raman mapping along single poly-Si lines.

Raman spectroscopy for examination of WC-Co tools in wood-base machining. An attempt is undertaken to apply Raman Spectroscopy for examination of WC-Co tools for wood-base machining. The virgin tools were compared with those implanted with nitrogen, modified by electron beam and plasma beam pulses. The preliminary results suggest a possibility of applying this method for fast, non-destructive analysis of phase composition and phase changes in the microstructure of the investigated tools
