Abstract

Micro-Raman spectroscopy has been utilized to examine the spectra of solid samples of α-UF₅, β-UF₅, UF₆, three types of UO₂F₂, the powder residue from a static UF₆ release, and γ-UO₃. The spectra are presented and compared to previous literature values, with new features indicated where appropriate. With the implied constraint of proper sample handling, micro-Raman spectroscopy is a useful technique for the ready identification of uranium fluorides, oxyfluorides, and oxides.
