ABSTRACTA series of coordination compounds -macrocycle tetraaza derivatives with extended electronic conjugations- as molecular solids have been synthesized and analyzed by Raman spectroscopy. Their resistivity vs. temperature characteristics, measured in thin films, show three types of behavior: metallic, semiconductor and, in some cases, semiconductor with a transition to metallic below certain temperature. Room temperature Raman spectra were obtained in a FT-IR spectrometer and some stretching modes show different Raman shifts depending on the reactants. We relate these shifts with the degree of charge transfer between donor and acceptor radicals.

Results are presented of a comparative evaluation of a holographic supernotch filter (HSNF) and a holographic notch filter (HNF) as a Rayleigh line rejection filter for Raman spectroscopy. The filter permits acquisition of both Stokes and anti-Stokes spectra down to ±200 cm−1 shift from excitation simultaneously, without filter angle adjustment. With slight angle adjustment, spectra can be recorded as close as 41 cm−1 from the excitation line. Performance of the HSNF is evaluated by measuring the low-frequency Raman spectra of Tb2(MoO4)3, water, and naphthalene.

Abstract Failure analysis of organics at the microscopic scale is an increasingly important requirement, with traditional analytical tools such as FTIR and Raman microscopy, having significant limitations in either spatial resolution or data quality. We introduce here a new method of obtaining Infrared microspectroscopic information, at the submicron level in reflection (far-field) mode, called Optical-Photothermal Infrared (O-PTIR) spectroscopy, that can also generate simultaneous Raman spectra, from the same spot, at the same time and with the same spatial resolution. This novel combination of these two correlative techniques can be considered to be complimentary and confirmatory, in which the IR confirms the Raman result and vice-versa, to yield more accurate and therefore more confident organic unknowns analysis.

Raman spectra have been measured for a number of nitrates, nitrites, sulfates, ferrocyanides, and ferricyanides, both in the solid phase and in aqueous solution. Accurate locations of peak maxima are given. Limits of detection for some of the compounds are given for solutions and for solid mixtures in NaNO3. Preliminary measurements have been made on core material recovered from the storage tanks on the Hanford site in Richland, Washington. Representative spectra are presented, showing that it is possible to observe responses of individual components from measurements made directly on untreated cores, with the use of a fiberoptic sampling probe.

AbstractThe epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial process in cancer progression and metastasis. Study of metabolic changes during the EMT process is important in seeking to understand the biochemical changes associated with cancer progression, not least in scoping for therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting EMT. Due to the potential for high sensitivity and specificity, Raman spectroscopy was used here to study the metabolic changes associated with EMT in human breast cancer tissue. For Raman spectroscopy measurements, tissue from 23 patients were collected, comprising non-lesional, EMT and non-EMT formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded breast cancer samples. Analysis was made in the fingerprint Raman spectra region (600–1800 cm−1) best associated with cancer progression biochemical changes in lipid, protein and nucleic acids. The ANOVA test followed by the Tukey’s multiple comparisons test were conducted to see if there existed differences between non-lesional, EMT and non-EMT breast tissue for Raman spectroscopy measurements. Results revealed that significant differences were evident in terms of intensity between the non-lesional and EMT samples, as well as the EMT and non-EMT samples. Multivariate analysis involving independent component analysis, Principal component analysis and non-negative least square were used to analyse the Raman spectra data. The results show significant differences between EMT and non-EMT cancers in lipid, protein, and nucleic acids. This study demonstrated the capability of Raman spectroscopy supported by multivariate analysis in analysing metabolic changes in EMT breast cancer tissue.

A series of ceramics samples belonging to theCeO2-Bi2O3phase system have been prepared via a coprecipitation route. The crystallized phases were obtained by heating the solid precursors at600∘Cfor 6 hours, then quenching the samples. X-ray diffraction analyses show that forx<0.20a solid solutionCe1−xBixO2−x/2with fluorine structure is formed. For x ranging between 0.25 and 0.7, a tetragonalβ′phase coexisting with the FCC solid solution is observed. For x ranging between 0.8 and 0.9, a new tetragonalβphase appears. Theβ′phase is postulated to be a superstructure of theβphase. Finally, close tox=1, the classical monoclinicα Bi2O3structure is observed. Raman spectroscopy confirms the existence of the phase changes as x varies between 0 and 1.

A sample cell for investigating suspensions or emulsions by Raman spectroscopy in the optically favorable 90° scattering arrangement is described. The Raman spectra of pyridine in a suspension of Aerosil 200 in carbon tetrachloride are recorded. The adsorption isotherm of pyridine is determined from the intensities of the Raman lines at 1008 and 990 cm−1. Over a long range of coverage a linear relationship exists between reciprocal concentrations of chemisorbed and dissolved molecules. The minimal surface area that is occupied by a chemisorbed molecule is determined to be approximately 0.75 nm2.
