A Raman spectroscopic method has been developed for the quantitative analysis of mixed oxide materials for orthorhombic and tetragonal phases of PbO. The technique employs an Sb/sub 2/O/sub 3/ internal standard for improved analytical reliability. Samples mixed with KBr are pelletized onto a pure KBr support substrate. The sample pellets are rotated during analysis to minimize irradiation induced alteration or damage. Linear responses for both o-PbO and t-PbO throughout the entire concentration range have been observed. The presence of metallic Pb, which is a Raman inactive material, does not appear to interfere significantly with the linearity of the response.
