The role of terahertz polariton absorption in the characterization of crystalline iron sulfate hydrates

Michael T. Ruggiero,   Tiphaine Bardon,   Matija Strlič,   Philip F. Taday and    Timothy M. Korter

Abstract

Iron sulfate compounds have been used extensively to produce iron gall ink, a widely used writing ink in the western world from the 12th–20th centuries. Iron gall ink is well known to corrode writing supports, so detection of iron species is important for the preservation of historical artwork and documents. Iron(II) sulfate readily changes hydration states and oxidizes in ambient conditions, forming compounds that contribute to this deterioration. In this study, five forms of iron sulfate are characterized by terahertz spectroscopy and solid-state density functional theory (DFT). The results have revealed that the room temperature spectra of FeSO4·7H2O and FeSO4·4H2O are remarkably similar, differing by only a single absorption feature. The identifying terahertz spectra provide an unambiguous metric to determine the relative concentrations of the most common hydrates FeSO4·7H2O and FeSO4·4H2O in a mixed sample. Complete spectral assignments of these species were accomplished by quantum mechanical simulations, with the exception being a single anomalous feature at approximately 40 cm−1 in the heptahydrate. This peak is believed to be due to polariton absorption, brought about by the particular coordination structure of FeSO4·7H2O that results in a greater charge separation relative to the other iron sulfate crystals.

This study was performed using TeraView's Spectra 3000 system. (TeraView, Cambridge, UK)

TeraView at OTST 2015

TeraView are happy to announce that TeraView's Dr. Philip Taday will be in attendance at the OTST 2015 conference in San Diego, California on the 8th - 13th of March 2015! 

"The sixth international workshop on Optical Terahertz Science and Technology (OTST 2015) will be held in San Diego, California, USA from March 8th - 13th, 2015. OTST is held every two years with the previous five conferences located in Orlando, Florida, USA (2005, 2007), Santa Barbara, California, USA (2009, 2011) and, most recently, Kyoto, Japan (2013). There have been exciting developments at terahertz frequencies in the past two years, and the goal of this conference is to bring together researchers from all over the world to discuss advances ranging from cutting edge sensing and detection to nonlinear dynamics in multifunctional materials. The talks and poster sessions will cover these advances with ample time for in-depth discussions amongst colleagues. In addition, on March 8th there will be an introductory workshop/tutorial for students and those who are new to the world of THz science and technology."

If you would like to arrange the opportunity for a meeting with Dr. Philip Taday you can contact him directly via: philip.taday@teraview.com 

TeraView will also be live tweeting from the event, so if you are at the event and would like to contact Dr. Philip Taday please do so via the TeraView Twitter account!

TeraHertz: New opportunities for industry

TeraView are happy to confirm that Dr. Philip Taday will be speaking at the upcoming event: TeraHertz: New opportunities for industry - Special Focus Session: THz Materials Measurements, on the 3rd-5th of February 2015.

Event Overview:

TeraHertz (THz), the frequencies between electronics and optics, was until recently the last unexploited part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The harnessing of THz-based technologies has the potential of impacting globally a vast number of industries, like both electronics in the 70’s and optics in the 80’s did. THz applications span over a wide array of fields, including:

• Quality Control and Non-destructive testing
• Surface analysis
• Security
• Chemical and Bio-Medical analysis
• Telecommunications

Filling the TeraHertz “gap” has led to unprecedented creativity in the development and commercialization of TeraHertz sources, transmission components and detectors. This year’s edition will focus on THz materials measurements and applications.
