Abstract

Terahertz (THz) radiation is responsive to optical phonons in crystal lattices; therefore, THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) has potential utility in crystallographic analysis. In this study, THz-TDS was used to investigate cellulose samples extracted from different sources with varying ratios of I_α and I_β fractions. This is the first study to report that the absorption coefficient in the THz region of cellulose I_α and I_β presents different characteristic absorption peaks around 2 THz. This can be used to distinguish the cellulose I allomorph, which exhibits differences in its crystalline structure. The absorption coefficient at 2.11 and 2.38 THz showed a considerable linear correlation with the I_α fraction of the cellulose samples. The absorption coefficient spectra of 1.88–3.40 THz were further detrended and separated into three Gaussian peaks. The correlations between the parameters of these separated peaks (integrated intensities, peak positions) and the crystalline structural values (d-spacing, crystalline size, crystallinity index) that calculated from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern were investigated.
