AbstractSurface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy is an important technique for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of spectroscopic material identification measurements in the mid-infrared fingerprinting region. However, the lower bound of the fingerprinting region receives much less attention due to a scarcity of transparent materials, more expensive sources, and weaker plasmonic effects. In this paper, we present a miniaturized metasurface unit cell for surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopy of the 15-$$\upmu$$ μ m vibrational band of CO$$_{2}$$ 2 . The unit cell consists of a gold disc, patterned along the edge with fine gaps/wires to create a resonant metamaterial liner. In simulation, our plasmonic metamaterial-lined disc achieves greater than $$4\times$$ 4 × the average field intensity enhancement of a comparable dipole array and a miniaturized size of $$\lambda _0/5$$ λ 0 / 5 using complex, 100-nm features that are patterned using 100-kV electron-beam lithography. In a simple experiment, the metamaterial-lined disc metasurface shows a high tolerance to fabrication imperfections and enhances the absorption of CO$$_{2}$$ 2 at 15 $$\upmu$$ μ m. The resonant wavelength and reflection magnitude can be tuned over a wide range by adjusting the liner feature sizes and the metasurface array pitch to target other vibrational bands. This work is a step toward low-cost, more compact on-chip integrated gas sensors.

Vibrational spectroscopy (mid-infrared (IR) and Raman) and its fingerprinting capabilities offer rapid, high-throughput, and non-destructive analysis of a wide range of sample types producing a characteristic chemical “fingerprint” with a unique signature profile. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and an array of mass spectrometry (MS) techniques provide selectivity and specificity for screening metabolites, but demand costly instrumentation, complex sample pretreatment, are labor-intensive, require well-trained technicians to operate the instrumentation, and are less amenable for implementation in clinics. The potential for vibration spectroscopy techniques to be brought to the bedside gives hope for huge cost savings and potential revolutionary advances in diagnostics in the clinic. We discuss the utilization of current vibrational spectroscopy methodologies on biologic samples as an avenue towards rapid cost saving diagnostics.

Background The use of solvatochromic dyes to investigate homeopathic potencies holds out the promise of understanding the nature of serially succussed and diluted solutions at a fundamental physicochemical level. Recent studies have shown that a range of different dyes interact with potencies and, moreover, the nature of the interaction is beginning to allow certain specific characteristics of potencies to be delineated. Aims and Methods The study reported in this article takes previous investigations further and aims to understand more about the nature of the interaction between potencies and solvatochromic dyes. To this end, the UV-visible spectra of a wide range of potential detectors of potencies have been examined using methodologies previously described. Results Results presented demonstrate that solvatochromic dyes are a sub-group of a larger class of compounds capable of demonstrating interactions with potencies. In particular, amino acids containing an aromatic bridge also show marked optical changes in the presence of potencies. Several specific features of molecular detectors can now be shown to be necessary for significant interactions with homeopathic potencies. These include systems with a large dipole moment, electron delocalisation, polarizability and molecular rigidity. Conclusions Analysis of the optical changes occurring on interaction with potencies suggests that in all cases potencies increase the polarity of molecular detectors to a degree that correlates with the size of the compound's permanent or ground dipole moment. These results can be explained by inferring that potencies themselves have polarity. Possible candidates for the identity of potencies, based on these and previously reported results, are discussed.

AbstractGraphene-based hyperbolic metamaterials provide a unique scaffold for designing nanophotonic devices with active functionalities. In this work, we have theoretically demonstrated that the characteristics of a polarization-dependent tunable hyperbolic microcavity in the mid-infrared frequencies could be realized by modulating the thickness of the dielectric layers, and thus breaking periodicity in a graphene-based hyperbolic metamaterial stack. Transmission of the tunable microcavity shows a Fabry–Perot resonant mode with a Q-factor > 20, and a sixfold local enhancement of electric field intensity. It was found that by varying the gating voltage of graphene from 2 to 8 V, the device could be self-regulated with respect to both the intensity (up to 30%) and spectrum (up to 2.1 µm). In addition, the switching of the device was considered over a wide range of incident angles for both the transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes. Finally, numerical analysis indicated that a topological transition between elliptic and type II hyperbolic dispersion could be actively switched. The proposed scheme represents a remarkably versatile platform for the mid-infrared wave manipulation and may find applications in many multi-functional architectures, including ultra-sensitive filters, low-threshold lasers, and photonic chips.

AbstractComplementary optical and neutron-based vibrational spectroscopy techniques (Infrared, Raman and inelastic neutron scattering) were applied to the study of human bones (femur and humerus) burned simultaneously under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions, in a wide range of temperatures (400 to 1000 °C). This is the first INS study of human skeletal remains heated in an oxygen-deprived atmosphere. Clear differences were observed between both types of samples, namely the absence of hydroxyapatite’s OH vibrational bands in bone burned anaerobically (in unsealed containers), coupled to the presence of cyanamide (NCNH2) and portlandite (Ca(OH)2) in these reductive conditions. These results are expected to allow a better understanding of the heat effect on bone´s constituents in distinct environmental settings, thus contributing for an accurate characterisation of both forensic and archaeological human skeletal remains found in distinct scenarios regarding oxygen availability.

Three copper triarylcorroles containing a [Formula: see text]-pyrrole nitro substituent were synthesized and characterized as to their spectral and electrochemical properties in nonaqueous media. The examined compounds are represented as [Formula: see text]-NO2(YPh)3CorCu, where Cor is the trianion of a triphenylcorrole and Y is a Cl, H or CH3 substituent at the para-position of the three meso-phenyl rings of the compound. The data from absorption spectra, electrochemistry and thin-layer spectroelectrochemistry are consistent with an initial assignment of Cu[Formula: see text]-Cor[Formula: see text] in CH2Cl2, DMF and pyridine and electrogeneration of a formal Cu(II) corrole with an unreduced macrocycle, represented as Cu[Formula: see text]-Cor[Formula: see text], after the first one-electron reduction in these solvents. The doubly reduced [Formula: see text]-nitrocorrole has a sharp Soret band at 439 nm and a well-defined Q-band at 611 nm in CH2Cl2. Similar absorption spectra are seen for the three examined doubly reduced nitrocorroles in DMF and pyridine, suggesting formation of a Cu(I) species with an unreduced macrocycle which is represented as Cu[Formula: see text]-Cor[Formula: see text]. Changes in redox potentials and absorption spectra of the nitrocorroles are examined as a function of solvent and substituents on the meso-phenyl rings of the compounds and comparisons are made between spectral and electrochemical data of the newly synthesized corroles and that of structurally related tetraarylcorroles lacking a [Formula: see text]-nitro group.

AbstractSoft reactive adhesives (SRAs) are polymer-based materials (e.g., polyurethanes, polysiloxanes, polydienes) designed to be further vulcanized or slightly cross-linked through external activation (heat, moisture, oxygen, UV–visible irradiation, etc.), either at the time of their application or within a subsequent predefined period. They are used mainly as mastics, or sealing compounds, in a wide range of industrial and commercial fields such as construction, footwear, and the automotive industry. Generally deposited as thick films, SRAs behave as structural adhesives; their low elastic moduli accommodate large strains between the bonded parts without incurring permanent damage. Other outstanding attributes of SRAs are their resistance to solvents, their ability to withstand aggressive environments, and their ease of use. This article discusses examples of SRAs and, more specifically, shows how the cross-linking chemistry, mainly through step-growth polymerization, provides their primary advantages.
