Application of Advanced Optical Spectroscopies to the Study of Energetic Materials.

Abstract

This research program has been investigating the applicability of advanced optical techniques to the study of complex material problems associated with high energy substances. The report consists of a series of papers which reflect the substantial progress accomplished. These include: The Possible Role of Viscoelasticity Measured by Light Scattering Techniques in Determining the Structural Integrity of Rocket Propellants; Techniques for Observing Weak Raman Signals in the Diamond Pressure Cell; Raman Study of Conformational Characteristics of Chain Molecules under High Pressure; Observation of Pressure Induced Changes in Molecular Conformation in the Liquid Alkanes; A Simple Stepping Motor Programmer, and Application of a Microcomputer to Optical Spectroscopy.
