Abstract
Standard Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectrometries are very useful tools for materials characterization. However they are no longe r sufficient in the case of nanoparticle analyses. The important part played by surface species implies a critical need for a surface charac terization. In this work, we discuss the results of an FT-IR surface c haracterization. Silicon carbide is given as an example for which evid ence of an irreversibly adsorbed carbonate species as well as a comple te oxidation of the surface is shown.
