Standoff raman spectroscopy system for detection of explosives, chemical warfare agents simulants and toxic industrial compounds
(2008)
In this work a remote Raman system has been designed, assembled and tested for detecting explosives, Toxic Industrial Compounds (TIC) and Chemical Warfare Agents Simulants (CWAS) at laboratory scale up to 7 m target-telescope ...
Enhanced Raman Scattering of TNT on nanoparticles substrates: Ag, Au and Au/Ag Bimetallic colloids prepared by reduction with sodium citrate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride
(2007)
Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) provides extremely high sensitivity, due to increase in the Raman cross-sections of intrinsically very weak scattering events making these events comparable or even better than ...
Cyclic organic peroxides identification and trace analysis by Raman microscopy and open-air chemical ionization mass spectrometry
(2009)
The persistent use of cyclic organic peroxides in explosive devices has increased the interest in study these compounds. Development of methodologies for the detection of triacetone triperoxide (TATP) and hexamethylene ...
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of Hexahydro-1,3,5-Trinitro-S-Triazine (RDX)
(2007)
Energetic materials are used as explosives component of landmines, plastic explosives
(C-4), and home made bombs, among others. Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine (RDX) is a
secondary explosive, which is the main ...
Adsorption of Hexahydro-1,3,5-Trinitro-1,3,5-Triazina (RDX) on soil and clay mineral surfaces
(2008)
Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) is an energetic compound that is commonly used as a military explosive. Studies indicate that nitroamines compounds, particularly those exhibiting several NO2 groups or other ...
Modeling of TNT transport from landmines
(2008)
The transport of Explosive Related Compounds (ERCs) has been studied as part of a research program aiming to the development of chemical sensors for detecting landmines. TNT and its degradation products typically make up ...
Theoretical and experimental vibrational and NMR studies of α and β-RDX
(2008)
Cyclic nitramine hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-s-triazine (RDX), is an important energetic ingredient for propellants and explosives. To understand RDX explosive nature, the molecular structure needs to be examined in detail. ...
