Raman spectroscopy is capable of depth profile, in-situ kinetic measurement and temperature calculation. Combining with SERS sensor, the weak Raman scattering could be dramatically enhanced, which is usually called Surface-enhance Raman spectroscopy (SERS). It will provide a powerful technique to observe very subtle bond variation information in ultra-thin film samples and interphases. This study attempts to understand the in-situ kinetic surface nano-structure, reaction and interfacial analysis
2.5.1 Raman Spectroscopy Inelastic scattering of light by elementary excitations such as phonons and plasmon in the material is termed as Raman scattering. When a beam of light (UV-Visible and IR region) of frequencyI is incident on a solid, most of the light gets scattered elastically, i.e., without change in energy. A small fraction of light is scattered inelastically with frequencies I ± m, where m are the characteristic vibrational frequencies of the e- cloud in the molecule/solid. Figure
monochromatic source is illustrated (John 2006 (15)). Raman spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy is, besides IR spectroscopy, one of the two spectroscopic methods used for vibrational analysis. Both techniques are used to provide a fingerprint of molecules by generating spectra. The main difference is that IR spectroscopy is based on absorption of photons with a frequency equal to the vibrational frequency of functional groups, whereas Raman spectroscopy is based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light
A Note on Application of Commercial Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Substrates in Trace Analysis Reply to reviewers As noted, we observed the presence of the impurity during our study of MBA deposition. Preliminary identification of BPE was done after comparison with literature data and BPE appeared in our laboratory (and also in all the Department) only after this step. Absence of the BPE in the used EtOH was proved by a simple experiment, described in Supplemental Material: Klarite chips of

Vibrational spectroscopy is a term used to describe the analytical techniques Infrared and Raman spectroscopy. These two techniques are tools used to provide information about the molecular composition, structure and interactions with a sample. Both techniques are non-destructive, qualitative and rapid. They measure the vibrational energy levels that are affiliated with the chemical bonds in a sample. IR and Raman spectra are complementary to each other and provide scientists with images of vibrations

that the progress in single molecule detection (SMD) and single molecule spectroscopy (SMS) has proved to be a boon. Although, initially it raised doubts among many as to whether it is really advantageous over ensemble measurements and whether any additional information can be obtained from such experiments, the utilities of such methods are being realized off late (Fig 1).

the authenticity or lack thereof of the map. Recent research has used several chemical analyses which have examined specifically the paper and the ink present on the map. The most recent methods used to test the map have been carbon dating and Raman spectroscopy. It is thought that the map was written on paper which has origins in pre-Columbus days. However, several analyses of the ink have revealed the presence of anatase, a form of TiO 2, which was not developed until the first part of the 20 th Century
Spectroscopy is the analogy between radiated energy, a source of matter and helps with the study of colours. Spectroscopy allows us to see how atoms emit and absorb electromagnetic radiation. Typically these measures are known to be a spectroscope. It allows us to measure how light is emitted, scattered or absorbed by a source of material. In addition the importance of spectroscopy is that it allows us to identify study and quantify a source of material. The different colour spectrum for light includes
Drugs are a included in many of the criminal justice cases in the US so the need to have well trained analysts is important as well as having correct equipment and tests to analysis the drugs properly. There are Scientific Working Groups for many of the different disciplines of forensic science, including drugs. The NAS Report has recently come out taking about what changes should be made in the forensic science arena. There is an every multiplying amount of drugs in the world because new ones
Spectroscopy Spectroscopy is the study of energy levels in atoms or molecules, using absorbed or emitted electromagnetic radiation. There are many categories of spectroscopy eg. Atomic and infrared spectroscopy, which have numerous uses and are essential in the world of science. When investigating spectroscopy four parameters have to be considered; spectral range, spectral bandwidth, spectral sampling and signal-to-noise ratio, as they describe the capability of a spectrometer. In the world
Introduction When white light passes through a prism, it forms a continuous spectrum of colors found in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The color of the compound is a blend of wavelengths that are transmitted and not absorbed by the sample. Beer- Lambert’s Law is applied in order determine the concentration of a colored species in solution. The concentration of the colored species is directly proportional to it absorbance at a wavelength. A= εbc which A is the absorbance, ε is
measured and each cream was subjected to near-infrared (NIR) absorption spectroscopy and sensory testing. The yield value was calculated based on measured flattening and was 734.8 dynes/cm2 for MCZ-A, 1198.9 dynes/cm2 for MCZ-B, 461.3 dynes/cm2 for MCZ-C, and 3112.3 dynes/cm2 for MCZ-D. Measurement of viscoelasticity and viscosity revealed that MCZ-C had a smaller tanδ than the other 3 creams at 25ºC. NIR absorption spectroscopy revealed that MCZ-A had the highest absorption peak due to hydroxyl groups
Bleach can be used to remove color from another substance or clean the water that we, humans, drink everyday. Even though bleach is very helpful and commonly used in our environment, it is also very reactive and unstable if it is not used correctly. For my experiment, I will be making an electronic device that will function as a colorimeter. Using the colorimeter, I will measure the concentration of blue dye in sports drinks, and find the rate at which blue dye disappears when it is mixed with bleach
Asha Kurup April 3rd, 2014 IR Spectroscopy Assignment A. What is spectroscopy and how does it work? Spectroscopy is a term for analyzing spectra. The spectra may be visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, X-ray, and other types1. When a beam of light hits a triangular prism, it is separated into its components (ROYGBIV). Figure 1: Components of Light Spectroscopy is measured using a spectrophotometer. A beam of light is first pointed towards the spectrophotometer. The beam of light then strikes

In infrared (IR) spectroscopy, infrared light interacts with molecules of the substance. The collected data is used to determine the substance. Infrared light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum and contains longer wavelengths than visible light. In this type of spectroscopy, an IR beam passes through the sample substance. Consequently, the covalent bonds absorbs the beam, thus this causes a change in the vibrations of the dipole moment in the substance. This spectroscopy is primarily used
Analytical Chemistry Analytical Chemistry is the branch of chemistry principally concerned with determining the chemical composition of materials, which may be solids, liquids, gases, pure elements, compounds, or complex mixtures. In addition, chemical analysis can characterize materials but determining their molecular structures and measuring such physical properties as pH, color, and solubility. Wet analysis involves the studying of substances that have been submerged in a solution and microanalysis
After predicting the stretches, we obtained the actual compound and ran an IR spectrum in order to observe the frequencies. However, the compound had to be placed in a bolt and tightened before the IR spectrum could be run. An infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy) is based on
