Data for: External reflectance FTIR dataset (4000 - 400 cm-1) for the identification of relevant mineralogical phases forming Cultural Heritage materials
Description
The dataset here proposed is composed of over 190 spectra of single crystal specimens (including gem quality ones) and ornamental stones supplied by the Department of Sciences and Technology of the University of Sannio (Benevento, Italy). Additional organic compounds, such as waxes, resins, proteins, commonly used as protective of geomaterials in Cultural Heritage, are also provided in this contribution. All the samples have been analyzed by means of a Bruker Optics Alpha-R portable FTIR spectrometer with an External Reflectance (ER) head for contactless and non-destructive analyses. For further details refer to the paper titled "External reflectance FTIR dataset (4000 - 400 cm-1) for the identification of relevant mineralogical phases forming Cultural Heritage materials" and authored by Izzo et al.
