About jSulfoQuant

jSulfoQuant - A computer program for a fast and accurate determination of Sb/(Sb+As) content ratio in the tetrahedrite-tennantite and bournonite-seligmannite solid solution series by at least one spectral parameter (band position or relative intensity) of their Raman spectra.

Raman spectroscopy is widely used in the field of geosciences because it is very fast, non-destructive, non-invasive and does not require sample preparation. The Raman spectra often provide unique fingerprint of the sample that can be used to identify any unknown minerals.

jSulfoQuant software was developed as an analytical tool for a fast and accurate determination of Sb/(Sb+As) content ratio by at least one spectral parameter of their Raman spectra. jSulfoQuant is a freeware, user-friendly software, written in Java, not OS dependent and can be accessed at the following link: http://jsulfoquant.sourceforge.net. Apart from this direction of Sb/(Sb+As) content ratio determination, the application is designed to offer several tools necessary for the manipulation of the Raman spectrum. The Raman spectra opened from the local computer can be visually explored in different ways, providing, thus, a series of functionalities. They include zooming and rescaling of the Raman spectrum, and dragging, peaking, printing and showing of the coordinates as the mouse moves over the spectrum. The application can open any file with the extension .txt, .rruff, .csv, .asc or .dat and a two-column data format, where the values in the first column are assumed to be the wavenumber (X-axis), and those in the second column designate intensity (Y-axis). The jSulfoQuant program supports the following file format delimiters: (i) tab delimiter; (ii) space; (iii) comma; (iv) semicolon, and it can even ignore rows which start with ##comments.
