The discussion focuses on the need for Raman active dyes specifically for material chemistry applications. The original poster has identified a few dyes but seeks additional suggestions that are user-friendly and cost-effective. Most available literature emphasizes biological applications, such as proteins or DNA, rather than material chemistry. A suggestion for Azo dyes is mentioned as a potential option. The conversation highlights the gap in resources for Raman active dyes tailored to material chemistry needs.

Hi everyone,

I have a project that will require me to use quite more Raman active dyes. I found a couple of dyes to start with but I couldn't find more that relate to material chemistry. Most of the literate that I read relates to proteins or DNA. Can you please think of some dyes that are easy to use, not that expensive?

Thanks!

I need to anneal 5052 aluminum for a home project. Google has given me mixed results on how to do this. Short version is that I'm doing some heavy forming on a piece of 5052-H32 and I'm running into issues with it work hardening. I've tried the Sharpie trick with a propane torch. But I'm not sure this is doing anything. I'm also seeing conflicting opinions whether to quench or air cool. So I'm looking for some expert opinions. (Oven heating is not an option due to size.) Thanks. edit: The...
