Tóm tắt
In this case report, blue ballpoint ink on a questioned document was investigated using a newly developed Raman model devoted for dating of documents via writing inks. The majority of blue ballpoint pen inks contain crystal violet - a triarylmethane dye which displays a typical “molecular fingerprint” type of Raman spectrum, of which most intense peaks at 749 cm−1 and 1542 cm−1 (under 785 nm laser excitation) represents the least and the most stable bonds of crystal violet molecules, respectively. The ratios of peak intensities at above mentioned Raman shifts are utilized to estimate the relative dating of the questioned blue ballpoint pen ink in practice, results of which agreed with estimations using other traditional relative dating methods.
