The Raman spectra of polystalline Er2O3 films on Si (001) substrates annealed at different temperatures in O2 atmosphere were investigated. Seven Raman lines are identified in annealed Er2O3 films on Si (001) substrates. Two broad peaks larger than 600 cm-1 are detected, and their origination is discussed. Raman spectroscopy is proved to be a simple and sensitive method to characterize the structures of Er2O3 films on Si substrates.

This work is devoted to generalize and analyze the previouse results of new photonic-crystalline nanomaterials based on synthetic opals and active dielectrics. Data were characterized by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Active dielectrics infiltrated into the pores of the opal from the melt. The phase structure composition of the infiltrated materials into the pores of the opal matrix were analyzed. The results of x-ray diffraction and Raman spectra allowed to establish the crystal state of active dielectrics in the pores of the opal. The Raman spectra of some opal-active dielectric nanocomposites revealed new bands and changes in band intensities compared to the spectra of single crystals of active dielectrics. Further more, differences in band intensities in the spectra were measured at different spots of the sample‘s surface were observed. The revealed changes were attributed to the formation of new crystalline phases due to the injected dielectrics in opal pores.

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.

AbstractCoxC1-x granular films were deposited on Si substrates by a co-sputtering method. A large negative MR of 30.3% was obtained at 2 K for the sample prepared with the sputtering power of 50 W (C) and 4 W (Co). We have studied structural properties of Co-C granular films by Raman spectroscopy. Two peaks (D and G modes) from carbon bonds were clearly observed, and the intensity ratio of two peaks changed with the sputtering power, suggesting that the graphitization was promoted with the sputtering power. It was also revealed that the transport mechanism changed from tunneling to Mott’s variable range hopping and MR decreased with the sputtering power.

AbstractSynthesis of graphene directly on MgO has been carried out and the structural properties of the obtained material have been investigated. Few-layered graphene was produced by simple thermal decomposition of methane over MgO powder at 950 °C in a CVD reactor. The samples were purified by 10 N HNO3 treatment, and studied by TEM, Raman spectroscopy, EDAX and SEM. TEM clearly indicated the formation of graphene. EDAX showed that the purified sample contained only carbon and no traces of MgO. The characteristic Raman features of graphene were also seen as D-band at 1316 cm−1, G-band at 1602 cm−1, and a small 2D-band at 2700 cm−1 in the Raman spectra. The strong D-band suggests that the graphene possess large number of boundary defects. The small 2D-band indicates the formation of few-layered graphene.

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.

Considerable attention has been paid to emulsion gels (EGs) in recent years due to their interesting applications in food. The aim of this work is to shed light on the role played by chia oil in the technological and structural properties of EGs made from soy protein isolates (SPI) and alginate. Two systems were studied: oil-free SPI gels (SPI/G) and the corresponding SPI EGs (SPI/EG) that contain chia oil. The proximate composition, technological properties (syneresis, pH, color and texture) and structural properties using Raman spectroscopy were determined for SPI/G and SPI/EG. No noticeable (p > 0.05) syneresis was observed in either sample. The pH values were similar (p > 0.05) for SPI/G and SPI/EG, but their texture and color differed significantly depending on the presence of chia oil. SPI/EG featured significantly lower redness and more lightness and yellowness and exhibited greater puncture and gel strengths than SPI/G. Raman spectroscopy revealed significant changes in the protein secondary structure, i.e., higher (p < 0.05) α-helix and lower (p < 0.05) β-sheet, turn and unordered structures, after the incorporation of chia oil to form the corresponding SPI/EG. Apparently, there is a correlation between these structural changes and the textural modifications observed.

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.

Minimal Surface Area

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.
