SHRP RA (granite)<br />

PA spectra <strong>of</strong> RA aggregate at two OPD velocities (1 cm/sec <strong>and</strong> 2 cm/sec) are presented in<br />

figure 2-2.2.10. The major RA elemental oxide is SiO2 (71%), which has an intense peak around<br />

1100 cm -1 [Smith 1996]. The major mineral component in RA aggregate is quartz (56%).<br />

Quartz exhibits an intense broad b<strong>and</strong> around 1100 cm -1 from the SiO2 <strong>and</strong> also shows sharper<br />

b<strong>and</strong>s at 795, 775 <strong>and</strong> 690 cm -1 [Jackson 1998].<br />

Figure 2-2.2.10. PA spectra <strong>of</strong> SHRP RA (granite) aggregate at two OPD velocities. Top: OPD<br />

velocity 1.0 cm/sec, average <strong>of</strong> 4 spectra (256 co-added scans per spectrum), gain (7). Bottom<br />

OPD velocity 2.0 cm/sec, average <strong>of</strong> 5 spectra (128 co-added scans per spectrum), gain (7).<br />
