Abstract

In recent years, Fourier transform spectrometers are being used for studying in all of the IR spectrum regions. However, choosing the correct sampling technique can still have a problem which sometimes obstructs the spectroscopists' measurements. The diffuse reflectance (DR) spectrometry with another sampling technique has become handy for the IR spectrometry of solids, especially inorganic materials. Nevertheless, it could be seen that DR spectra aren't entirely free of problems. The aim of the work is to point out some difficulties that might appear when measuring DR spectra of inorganic materials and to suggest methods of removing them.
