A curated Raman database has arrived.
With the increasing interest in identifying minerals using Raman spectroscopy, it is time for a unified effort to publish a curated Raman database. The International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD®), with over 8 decades of experience with reference database science and an extensive history with the minerals community, is uniquely suited to this task.
Experts in Raman and Minerals are working in a synergistic way to help build this database. The first published data are now in the ICDD PDF-5+, PDF-4/Minerals, and PDF-4/Axiom 2025 databases. Advanced data analysis tools customized for Raman spectra are available in the ICDD JADE Pro Toolkit. Additional data will continue to be added in all future releases.
