Abstract
Spectroscopic methods based on terahertz (THz) radiation can represent an innovative approach in the Cultural Heritage field. Specifically, contemporary and historical pigments can exhibit unique fingerprints. However, despite the high selectiveness of terahertz technique, the origin of spectral characteristics is not often known. In this work, the characteristic terahertz-time-domain spectroscopy spectrum of atacamite is reported in the spectral range 0.1–3.7 THz along with ab initio calculation of lattice dynamics to assess the nature of experimental features. The obtained results enable the acquisition of reliable new data in Heritage sciences, which is essential for developing accurate reference pigment databases.
