The thermostability (phase stability) of Mo6S3I6 nanowires was investigated by Raman spectroscopy, varying the incident laser power (1-9 mW) or by gradual heating of the sample from room temperature to 600?C. We have noticed 18 Raman modes in the room temperature Raman spectra, which is in good agreement with the factor group analysis prediction for P1 space group. We confirmed that the vibrations of Mo6S8 clusters dominate in vibrational properties of the Mo6S3I6 nanostructure, since nanowires Raman spectra are similar to Chevrel phase Raman spectra. During the temperature treatment, it was established that in the temperature range between 300 and 400?C a new Raman mode appeares. This mode can be ascribed to molybdenum oxide (MoO3). With further temperature increase, the intensity of this mode increases, drawing a conclusion that at temperature above 300?C the phase separation takes place in this system followed by a formation of oxide layer.

Raman spectra of samples contained in hollow quartz fibers are compared quantitatively to conventional Raman spectra using identical laser, spectrometer, detector, and scan speed. We find the fiber signal to be enhanced by a factor of 250/m of fiber, in good agreement with calculations based on geometrical optics. A fiber spectrum of 2 mol% trans-stilbene in benzene is good enough to allow essentially perfect solvent subtraction.

Raman spectra of oriented single crystals of KNO3(II) have been recorded at 298 and 77 K. At both temperatures the data are in excellent agreement with the factor group analysis based on the generally accepted Pmcn space group. Additional spectral features observed near room temperature suggest the presence of a significant number of disordered nitrate groups on alternate lattice sites, although the majority of nitrate groups occupy the ordered sites. As the temperature is lowered, the disordered groups freeze out until near the temperature of reported electrical anomalies (213 K) only the ordered sites are occupied. Improved resolution has resulted in detection of a number of new spectral features while improved depolarization data have resulted in reassignment of several peaks.

This article reports the use of plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to grow AlN on Si (111) substrate at 850°C under UHV conditions for 15, 30, and 45 min. The films were characterized by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) and micro-Raman spectroscopy. XRD measurement revealed that the AlN was epitaxially grown on Si (111). Micro-Raman result showed that all the allowed Raman modes of AlN and Si were clearly visible. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the A1 (LO) and E1 (TO) modes with frequencies (890–899) cm-1 and (668–688) cm-1, respectively. The results are in good agreement with reported phonon frequencies of AlN grown on Si (111).

Abstract The spatial and temporal development of self-focusing of light pulses is investigated. The beam diameter in CS2 and molten para-di-chlorobenzene decreases with increasing incident laser power to small values in good agreement with theory. The strong influence of beam divergence, non-linearity of refractive index, and absorption on self-focusing action is found to agree well with numerical calculations. It is shown that both backward stimulated Brillouin and Raman scattering terminate the self-focusing process.

The IR and Raman spectra of two singly layered silicates, silinaite and makatite, have been investigated. The vibrational spectra were assigned based on previous studies of various silicates. The correlation between vibrational modes and the structural properties of silicates under investigation has been made. The IR and Raman spectra of silinaite are in good agreement with the known structure. However, the observed vibrational data of makatite are not completely consistent with those predicted by a factor group analysis based on the published single-crystal data.Key words: layered silicates, silinaite, makatite, vibrational spectroscopy.

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.

Three samples with dielectric layers from high-κdielectrics, hafnium oxide, gadolinium-silicon oxide, and lanthanum-lutetium oxide on silicon substrate were studied by Raman spectroscopy. The results obtained for high-κdielectrics were compared with spectra recorded for silicon dioxide. Raman spectra suggest the similarity of gadolinium-silicon oxide and lanthanum-lutetium oxide to the bulk nondensified silicon dioxide. The temperature treatment of hafnium oxide shows the evolution of the structure of this material. Raman spectra recorded foras-depositedhafnium oxide are similar to the results obtained for silicon dioxide layer. After thermal treatment especially at higher temperatures (600°C and above), the structure of hafnium oxide becomes similar to the bulk non-densified silicon dioxide.

The photobleaching of Methylene blue embedded in the solid matrix PMMA (poly(methylmethacrylate)), PVA (poly(vinyl alcohol)) and gelatin has been investigated using a photoacoustic technique. Photoacoustic signals were measured as a function of time, chopping frequency, and the beam power. Experimental results indicate that the photobleaching rate is proportional to the incident laser power (260–300 mW) and decreased with increasing the concentration of dopant molecules. Methylene blue embedded in PVA shows the highest photobleaching rate then followed by gelatin and PMMA. The increase of photobleaching rate in PVA is also noticed when the beam power is increased. The thermal diffusivity values obtained for bleached PMMA, PVA and gelatin are 1.46 × 10-3 cm2/s , 0.83 × 10-3, cm2/s and 1.10 × 10-3 cm2/s respectively. Spectrophotometer and Raman spectroscopy were used to confirm the photoacoustic results.

Glasses with compositions 59B2O3-10K2O-(30-x)ZnO-xBaO-1CuO were prepared using melt quenching technique. The effect of BaO content in present glass system doped with copper ion in place of ZnO has been studied with respect to structural properties. Raman spectroscopy is an experimental technique appropriate for providing information about  the structure, local arrangement of the atoms in the present glasses. The Raman spectra of glasses were recorded at room temperature in the range 200-1800 cm-1 using a He-Ne excitation source having wavelength 632.81 nm. The Raman peaks appeared around 760 cm-1 assigned symmetric breathing vibrations of six-membered ring with both BO3 triangle and BO4 tetrahedral. The intensity of these peaks is slightly varied with the addition of BaO content while the broadness is found to be larger at 30 mol% of BaO than 30 mol% ZnO. This indicates that certain BO4 units could be preferentially converted while those in ring groups could be stabilized. Raman studies it is concluded that present glasses are composed of [BO4] and [BO3] units in metaborate, orthoborate, diborate groups.
