A Raman microspectroscopic study of several fulgurites has been undertaken. A fulgurite is an amorphous mineraloid, a superheated glassy solid that is formed when a lightning bolt hits a sandy or rocky ground and thermal energy is transferred. The Raman spectra revealed several forms of crystalline and fused silica and also the presence of polyaromatic hydrocarbons found in an interfacial zone of a glass bubble. This, together with the presence of anatase, a low-temperature polymorph of TiO(2), suggested that some regions of the fulgurite specimen were not subjected to temperatures of 1800 degrees C, which are attained when lightning hits the surface of sand or a rock.
对几个玻璃陨石进行了拉曼微光谱研究。玻璃陨石是一种无定形的矿物，是一种过热的玻璃状固体，当闪电击中沙质或石质地面并传递热能时形成。拉曼光谱显示了几种结晶和熔融二氧化硅的形式，以及在玻璃泡的界面区存在的多环芳烃。这与锐钛矿（TiO2 的低温多晶型物）的存在一起表明，玻璃陨石标本的某些区域没有经历过 1800 摄氏度的温度，而当闪电击中沙或岩石表面时会达到该温度。
