Abstract
Rochester and associates [1] recently stated: (A) “We here show that the combination of F.t i.r., diffuse reflectance, and a vacuum cell with a heatable stage provides an extremely powerful method for the spectro-scopic examination of carbon surfaces in situ under a variety of experimental conditions.” They showed quite well-structured spectra stated to be those of carbons after treatment with oxygen at temperatures up to 540degC;.
