Carbonaceous materials (CMs) have been widely used to assess temperatures in sedimentary and metamorphic carbonate rocks. The use of Raman spectroscopy of carbonaceous material (RSCM) is largely devoted to the study of deformed rocks hosted in thrust-tectonic settings. Raman spectroscopy of carbonaceous material successfully allows the study of carbonate rocks at a temperature as high as 650 °C. In this study, a set of carbonate-mylonite rocks (Italian Alps) were investigated using micro-Raman spectroscopy, in order to infer the deformation conditions associated with the Alpine thrusts, expected to occur at T < 350 °C. Micro-Raman spectra were collected using two sources: green (532 nm) and red (632.8 nm) lasers. Several deconvolution procedures and parameters were tested to optimize the collected spectrum morphologies for the laser sources, also in accordance with the low temperature expected. The obtained temperatures highlight two clusters: one at 340–350 °C for the samples collected in the axial part of the Alpine chain, and the other at 200–240 °C for those collected in the external thrust-and-fold belt. These results agree with the independent geological and petrological constraints. Consistent results were obtained using 532 and 632.8 nm laser sources when the appropriate deconvolution approach was used.

Abstract It is shown, using micro-Raman spectroscopy, that Shallow Trench Isolation introduces high stresses in the active area of silicon devices when wet oxidation steps are used. These stresses result in defect formation in the active area, leading to high diode leakage currents. The stress levels are highest near the outer edges of line structures and at square structures. They also increase with decreasing active area dimensions.

AbstractSEM–EDX and Raman spectroscopy analysis of radioactive compounds is often restricted to dedicated instrumentation, within radiological working areas, to manage the hazard and risk of contamination. Here, we demonstrate application of WetSEM® capsules for containment of technetium powder materials, enabling routine multimodal characterisation with general user instrumentation, outside of a controlled radiological working area. The electron transparent membrane of WetSEM® capsules enables SEM imaging of submicron non-conducting technetium powders and acquisition of Tc Lα X-ray emission, using a low cost desktop SEM–EDX system, as well as acquisition of good quality μ-Raman spectra using a 532 nm laser.

The present study aimed to synthesize and equate the mechanical properties and dentin interaction of two adhesives; experimental adhesive (EA) and 5 wt.% reduced graphene oxide rGO) containing adhesive. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)-Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Micro-Raman spectroscopy, push-out bond strength test, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were employed to study nano-bond strength, degree of conversion (DC), and adhesive-dentin interaction. The EA was prepared, and rGO particles were added to produce two adhesive groups, EA-rGO-0% (control) and rGO-5%. The canals of sixty roots were shaped and prepared, and fiber posts were cemented. The specimens were further alienated into groups based on the root canal disinfection technique, including 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), Photodynamic therapy (PDT), and ER-CR-YSGG laser (ECYL). The rGO nanoparticles were flake-shaped, and EDX confirmed the presence of carbon (C). Micro-Raman spectroscopy revealed distinct peaks for graphene. Push-out bond strength test demonstrated highest values for the EA-rGO-0% group after NaOCl and PDT conditioning whereas, rGO-5% showed higher values after ECYL conditioning. EA-rGO-0% presented greater DC than rGO-5% adhesive. The rGO-5% adhesive demonstrated comparable push-out bond strength and rheological properties to the controls. The rGO-5% demonstrated acceptable DC (although lower than control group), appropriate dentin interaction, and resin tag establishment.

AbstractTsangpoite, ideally Ca5(PO4)2(SiO4), the hexagonal polymorph of silicocarnotite, and matyhite, ideally Ca9(Ca0.5□0.5)Fe(PO4)7, the Fe-analogue of Ca-merrillite, were identified from the D'Orbigny angrite meteorite by electron probe microanalysis, electron microscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy. On the basis of electron diffraction, the symmetry of tsangpoite was shown to be hexagonal,P63/morP63, witha= 9.489(4) Å,c= 6.991(6) Å,V= 545.1(6) Å3andZ= 2 for 12 oxygen atoms per formula unit, and that of matyhite was shown to be trigonal,R3c, witha= 10.456 (7) Å,c= 37.408(34) Å,V= 3541.6 (4.8) Å3andZ= 6 for 28 oxygen atoms per formula unit. On the basis of their constant association with the grain-boundary assemblage: Fe sulfide + ulvöspinel + Al–Ti-bearing hedenbergite + fayalite–kirschsteinite intergrowth, the formation of tsangpoite and matyhite, along with kuratite (the Fe-analogue of rhönite), can be readily rationalised as crystallisation from residue magmas at the final stage of the D'Orbigny meteorite formation. Alternatively, the close petrographic relations between tsangpoite/matyhite and the resorbed Fe sulfide rimmed by fayalite + kirschsteinite symplectite, such as the nucleation of tsangpoite in association with magnetite ± other phases within Fe sulfide and the common outward growth of needle-like tsangpoite or plate-like matyhite from the fayalite–kirschsteinite symplectic rim of Fe sulfide into hedenbergite, infer that these new minerals and the grain-boundary assemblage might represent metasomatic products resulting from reactions between an intruding metasomatic agent and the porous olivine–plagioclase plate + fayalite-kirschsteinite overgrowth + augite + Fe sulfide aggregates. Still further thermochemical and kinetics evidence is required to clarify the exact formation mechanisms/conditions of the euhedral tsangpoite, matyhite and kuratite at the grain boundary of the D'Orbigny angrite.
