From: The effect of oxygen concentration on the speciation of laser ablated uranium
In-situ FTIR spectra of collected particulates after ablation of uranium in 100% O2 (black). Shown are three features attributed to am-UOx (where 3 ≤ x ≤ 4) as well as ozone and carbon dioxide (produced during ablation). Also plotted is a spectrum of amorphous UO3 digitized from Hoekstra and Siegel (red)15. The experimental spectra, consisting of 30 averaged scans at 1 cm−1 resolution, were collected ~ 1 min after ablation.
