ROD

The Raman Open Database (ROD) is an open-access resource that provides a collection of high-quality Raman spectra.
The database aims to collect a large set of spectra for a wide range of lattices to aid in material identification.
Each spectrum is stored as a ROD entry with a unique 7-digit ID, also called a ROD number.
An entry can be found using its chemical formula, lattice parameters, or publication details.
The database was used for the SOLSA H2020 project and is designed to be interconnected with other open databases,
such as the Crystallography Open Database (COD), for combined material analysis.
