研究目的
To investigate the potential of m-Raman spectroscopy to evaluate UO2 sample quality through a three-pronged study analyzing distinct qualities of UO2 single crystals, laser-damaged samples, and UO2 grown on ThO2 substrates.
研究成果
The study concludes that the peak height ratio between the second order longitudinal optical phonon signal and the T2g peak is directly correlated with UO2 crystal quality when using a 532 nm excitation source. This ratio is a more robust and sensitive indicator of crystal quality than other metrics, offering potential applications in nuclear forensics and the nuclear power industry.
研究不足
The study is limited by the sample size and the potential for laser-induced damage during analysis. The method's sensitivity to subtle quality differences and its applicability to powder samples are also limitations.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used Raman spectroscopy with two different excitation lasers (532 nm and 633 nm) to analyze UO2 samples of varying qualities.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Three distinct qualities of UO2 single crystals, a high quality single crystal progressively damaged with a laser, and a single crystal of UO2 grown on a ThO2 substrate were analyzed.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A Renishaw Invia Reflex Raman Microscope with a 532 nm excitation source, and a 633 nm laser for comparison.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Spectra were collected with varying exposure times and laser powers to assess sample quality and damage.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Peaks were fit in Origin 2016 with a modified Lorentzian to analyze the Raman spectra.
