We have prototyped illumination-collection mode scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) and near-field Raman spectroscopy (NFRS) with gold inner-covered aperture-less pyramidal probe in order to study the possibility to detect optical images, and Raman spectrum and Raman peak shift for stress distribution in Si device with high resolution of about 10 nm.

The cadmium selenide nanocrystals are prepared by colloidal chemistry under mild conditions. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements indicate that as-prepared cadmium selenide nanocrystals are zinc blende cubic structure. We carry out an analysis of quantum size effect in the Raman spectra of cadmium selenide nanocrystals performed by utilizing the chemical bond theory of Raman peak shift developed recently. It is revealed that the shifts of Raman peaks in cadmium selenide nanocrystals result from the overlapping of the quantum effect shifts and surface effect shifts. The sizes of the as-prepared cadmium selenide nanocrystals obtained by employing the Raman peak shift theory are in good agreement with the nanocrystal sizes determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Triangle-shaped defects are one of the most common surface defects on epitaxial growth of 4H-SiC epilayer on nearly on-axis SiC substrate. In this paper, we investigate the feature and structure of such defects using Nomarski optical microscopy (NOM), micro-Raman spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). It is found that triangle-shaped defects were composed of a thick 3C-SiC polytype, as well as 4H-SiC epilayer.

Purified single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) were dispersed in an epoxy polymer and subjected to uniaxial compressive loading. The orientation and stress in the nanotubes were monitored in situ using polarized Raman microscopy. At strains less than 2%, the nanotubes reorient normal to the direction of compression, thereby minimizing the local strain energy. Above 2% strain, the Raman peak shift reaches a plateau. A new analytical model, which approximates the SWNT reorientation by varying the aspect ratio of a representative spheroid, predicted the rotation behavior of nanotubes under load. The results of this model suggest that the observed plateau of the Raman peak shift is caused by both polymer yielding and interfacial debonding at the ends of nanotubes.

Effects of current density on nanostructure and light emitting properties of porous silicon (PS) samples were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), gravimetric method, Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. FE-SEM images have shown that below 60 mA/cm 2, macropore and mesopore arrays, exhibiting rough morphology, are formed together, whose pore diameter, pore depth and porosity are about 265–760 nm, 58–63 μ m and 44–61%, respectively. However, PS samples prepared above 60 mA/cm 2 display smooth and straight macropore arrays, with pore diameter ranging from 900–1250 nm, porosity of 61–80% and pore depth between 63–69 μ m . Raman analyses have shown that when the current density is increased from 10 mA/cm 2 to 100 mA/cm 2, Raman peaks of PS samples shift to lower wavenumbers by comparison to crystalline silicon (c-Si). The highest Raman peak shift is found to be 3.2 cm -1 for PS sample, prepared at 90 mA/cm 2, which has the smallest nanocrystallite size, about 5.2 nm. This sample also shows a pronounced PL, with the highest blue shifting, of about 12 nm. Nanocrystalline silicon, with the smallest nanocrystallite size, confirmed by our Raman analyses using microcrystal model (MCM), should be responsible for both the highest Raman peak shift and PL blue shift due to quantum confinement effect (QCE).

The pure rotational spectrum and the Q branch of the 1–0 band of N2 were photographed in the second order of a 21 ft. grating. An analysis of the rotational spectrum yields the rotational constants[Formula: see text]The value of B0 together with the Bν values obtained from the electronic bands of N2 gives[Formula: see text]Revised values of the vibrational constants have also been calculated using the results of the present work and the published data on the electronic spectra.
