IR spectra of powder hematite: effects of particle size and shape
Keyword(s):
AbstractHematites obtained by heating goethite gave different IR absorption spectra depending on the temperature of formation. Hematites formed between 250–600°C consisted of lath-like crystals (average size 0.4 ×0.08 µm) and showed, in accordance with theoretical predictions, very similar IR spectra whose absorption bands could all be assigned to surface mode vibrations. However, significantly different IR spectra were given by hematites formed between 700–950°C, the differences being correlated with variations in the size and shape of the particles. Differences observed in the IR spectra of powder hematite do not therefore justify new names for the mineral, as have been proposed in the literature.
