Abstract
The adaptation and construction of an environmental chamber suitable f or FT-Raman spectroscopy is described for the recording of Raman spect ra of specimens at temperatures from 25 to 125 degrees C while exposed to different controlled synthetic atmospheric conditions. Test spectr a were obtained from sulfur to illustrate the stability and applicatio ns of the system. The alpha rhombic/beta monoclinic phase change in su lfur was monitored as a function of time, and bands sensitive to this phase change have been identified.
