Abstract:
Raman Characterization of Materials in powder form has always remained challenging because of low signal to noise ratio. We, herein, propose a method to make use of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) technique to improve the usefulness of Raman study of powder samples containing particles of sub wavelength size. As a case study, we have successfully applied the method to barium hexaferrite (BHF) synthesized by the modified citrate sol-gel method. The crystal structure and surface morphology of the prepared BHF powder were char-acterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy. As many as 19 Raman peaks in a single spectrum with unpolarized laser were observed in the present work, against the commonly observed (in liter-ature) 10–12 peaks for BHF. This report, as it is believed, will enable the research community to probe further into the distortions in crystal structure through Raman studies

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
