» Band assignment and evolution with T#

Range 1#

3 main peaks (labelled as E1, E2, E3 with decreasing wavenumber).

Warning

There seems to be also a very small feature between E2 and E3 that has not been reported in the following litterature:

could be ethane:oxirane (7:3) mixed clathrate spectrum

Comments

  • No band frequency shift is observed within the margin of error

  • Intensity shift: E1 and E3 see some changes in their maximum absorbance peak and hence are good tracers for the crystalisation processes

  • May be a slight peak sharpening is present ?

  • Evaluation of the peaks at lower wavenumber are necessary to reveal the full picture of phase change


Range 2#

Warning

Baseline correction is not great within this range

  • Have I performed a previous

Range 3#

Note

Intersting because band splitt

  • How do I take that into account in reduction process

    • peak 6 remain the same

    • peak 7 is the appearing one

  • Check litterature review on what have been said there

BC lower range #

After processing the 2021_09_15, I decided to reduce the range of the Baseline correction in order to exclude the lower part of the spectrum that create some errors (cf Plots in the margin)

  • range modified from index 0 to index 40 (new baseline coorected scan have _U at the end of it’s name)
