PSⅡ core antenna complexes, CP43 and CP47, were purified from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) by DEAE Fractogel TSK 650S anion exchange chromatography. Their normal temperature (298 K) resonance Raman spectra were measured. The results suggest that all β carotenoids bound to CP43 and CP47 are in all trans configuration and likely in twisted conformations.

Femtosecond laser-induced nanoparticle implantation into flexible substrate for sensitive and reusable microfluidics SERS detection

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)microfluidic system,which enables rapid detection of chemical and biological analytes,offers an effective platform to monitor various food contaminants and disease diagnoses.The efficacy of SERS microfluidic systems is greatly dependent on the sensitivity and reusability of SERS detection substrates to ensure repeated use for prolonged periods.This study proposed a novel process of femtosecond laser nanoparticle array(NPA)implantation to achieve homogeneous forward transfer of gold NPA on a flexible polymer film and accurately integrated it within microfluidic chips for SERS detection.The implanted Au-NPA strips show a remarkable electromagnetic field enhancement with the factor of 9×108 during SERS detection of malachite green(MG)solution,achieving a detection limit lower than 10 ppt,far better than most laser-prepared SERS substrates.Furthermore,Au-NPA strips show excellent reusability after several physical and chemical cleaning,because of the robust embedment of laser-implanted NPA in flexible substrates.To demonstrate the performance of Au-NPA,a SERS microfluidic system is built to monitor the online oxidation reaction between MG/NaClO reactants,which helps infer the reaction path.The proposed method of nanoparticle implantation is more effective than the direct laser structuring technique.It provides better performance for SERS detection,robustness of detection,and substrate flexibility and has a wider range of applications for microfluidic systems without any negative impact.

Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering of Aflatoxin B1 on Silver by DFT Method

The structure, electrostatic properties, and Raman spectra of aflatoxin B1 （AFB1） and AFB1-Ag complex are studied by density functional theory with B3LYP/6- 311G（d,p）/Lan12dz basis set. The results show that the surface-enhanced Raman scattering （SERS） and pre-resonance Raman spectra of AFB1-Ag complex strongly depend on the adsorption site and the excitation wavelength found to enhance 102-103 order compared to of the incident light. The SERS factors are normal Raman spectrum of AFB1 molecule due to the larger static polarizabilities of the AFB1-Ag complex, which directly results in the stronger chemical enhancement in SERS spectra. The pre-resonance Raman spectra of AFB1-Ag complex are explored at 266, 482, 785, and 1064 nm incident light wavelength, in which the enhancement factors are about 10^2-10^4, mainly caused by the charge-transfer excitation resonance. The vibrational modes are analyzed to explain the relationship between the vibrational direction and the enhanced Raman intensities.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Synthesis of Monodisperse Ag Nanoparticles and Their Applications in Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering and Fluorescence Enhancement

Monodisperse Ag nanoparticles with diameters of about 3.4 nm were synthesized by a facile ultrasonic synthetic route at room temperature with the reduction of borane-tert-butylamine in the presence of oleylamine （OAm） and oleic acid （OA）. The reaction parameters of time, the molar ratios of OAm to OA were studied, and it was found that these parameters played important roles in the morphology and size of the products. Meanwhile, surface enhanced Raman spectrum （SERS） property suggested the Ag nanoparticles exhibited high SERS effect on the model molecule Rhodamine 6G. And also, two-photon fluorescence images showed that the silver nanoparticles had high performances in fluorescence enhancement.

In situ Detection of Amide A Bands of Proteins in Water by Raman Ratio Spectrum

The amide A band of protein is sensitive to the hydrogen bands of amide groups of proteins. However, it is hard to distinguish the amide A band of aqueous protein in situ directly, since it overlaps with O-H stretching vibration of water. In this work, we presented a new analytical method of Raman ratio spectrum, which can extract the amide A band of proteins in water. To obtain the Raman ratio spectrum, the Raman spectrum of aqueous protein was divided by that of pure water. A mathematical simulation was employed to examine whether Raman ratio spectrum is effective. Two kinds of protein, lysozyme and （^-chymotrypsin were employed. The amide A bands of them in water were extracted from Raman ratio spectra. Additionally, the process of thermal denaturation of lysozyme was detected from Raman ratio spectrum. These results demonstrated the Raman ratio spectra could be employed to study the amide A modes of proteins in water.

The effect of an anti-hydrogen bond on Fermi resonance： A Raman spectroscopic study of the Fermi doublet v1-v12 of liquid pyridine

The effects of an anti-hydrogen bond on the v1 v12 Fermi resonance （FR） of pyridine are experimentally investigated by using Raman scattering spectroscopy. Three systems, pyridine/water, pyridine/formamide, and pyridine/carbon tetrachloride, provide varying degrees of strength for the diluent-pyridine anti-hydrogen bond complex. Water forms a stronger anti-hydrogen bond with pyridine than with formamide, and in the case of adding non-polar solvent carbon tetrachloride, which is neither a hydrogen bond donor nor an acceptor and incapable of forming a hydrogen bond with pyridine, the intermolecular distance of pyridine will increase and the interaction of pyridine molecules will reduce. The dilution studies are performed on the three systems. Comparing with the values of the Fermi coupling coefficient W of the ring breathing mode v1 and triangle mode v12 of pyridine at different volume concentrations, which are calculated according to the Bertran equations, in three systems, we find that the solution with the strongest anti-hydrogen bond, water, shows the fastest change in the v1-v12 Fermi coupling coefficient W with the volume concentration varying, followed by the formamide and carbon tetrachloride solutions. These results suggest that the stronger anti-hydrogen bond-forming effect will cause a greater reduction in the strength of the v1-v12 FR of pyridine. According to the mechanism of the formation of an anti-hydrogen bond in the complexes and the FR theory, a qualitative explanation for the anti-hydrogen bond effect in reducing the strength of the v1 - v12 FR of pyridine is given.

Effect of heat-treatment on the surface properties of gallium phosphide nanosolids by Raman spectroscopy

Raman spectra of gallium phosphide （GAP） nanosolids （unheated and heat-treated at 598 and 723 K, respectively） were investigated. It was observed that both the longitudinal optical mode （LO） and the transverse optical mode （TO） displayed an asymmetry on the low-wavenumber side. The scattering bands were fitted to a sum of four Lorentzians which were assigned to the LO mode, surface phonon mode, TO mode, and a combination of Ga-O-P symmetric bending and sum band formed from the X-point TA ＋ LA phonons, respectively. Analysis of the characteristic of surface phonon mode revealed that the surface phonon peak of the GaP nanosolids could be confirmed. In the infrared spectrum of the GaP nanoparticles, we observed the bands on account of symmetric stretching and bending of PO2, as well as stretching of Ga-O The Raman scattering intensity arising from the Ga-O-P linkages increased as increasing the heat-treatment temperature.

Studies on the Lanthanum-Modified Lead Titanate Ultrafine Particles by Raman Spectroscopy

Lanthanummodified lead titanate(PLT14) ultrafine particles were synthesized by means of stearic acid gel method. The structure of the samples was characterized using Xray diffraction(XRD) and TEM. The crystal graphic parameters of the samples were calculated. The Raman spectra of PLT14 powders at a high pressure as well as a high temperature reveal that the phase transition pressure or temperature shifts to a lower pressure or temperature with the decrease of grain size.

Vibrational features of confined water in nanoporous TiO_2 by Raman spectra

Raman spectra of confined water adsorbed in nanoporous TiOare obtained in experiment. TiOsamples with different pore diameters under different humidity conditions are investigated. The results indicate that the symmetric vibrational mode of water molecule is destroyed when relative humidity decreases. This indicates that the interaction between water molecules and surface of TiObecomes stronger when the distance between water molecules and surface turns smaller, and the interaction plays a major role in depressing the symmetric vibrational peak. The spectra of confined water in TiOand Vycor are compared. When filling fractions are the same, their spectra show distinctions no matter whether they are in partial filling condition or in full filling condition. The spectra of HDO confined in TiOwith different filling fractions are compared with each other. There is no clear distinction among their vibrational peaks, and the peaks mainly relate to asymmetric vibration. Therefore, the interaction between water molecules and the wall of pore decouples the symmetric vibrational mode only, and the influences on asymmetric vibrational mode show little differences among different filling fractions.

Raman Spectrum and Thermal Stability of a Newly Developed TeO_2-BaO-BaF_2-La_2O_3-LaF_3 Glass

In this work, a new TeO2-BaO-BaF2-La2O3-LaF3 oxyfluorotellurite glass system is investigated. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and structural analysis by Raman scattering spectra are reported on the glasses. The DTA results indicated that an increase of fluoride content in the glasses decreases the glass transition temperature (Tg) and increases the crystallization onset temperature (Tx). As a result the 70TeO2·20BaF2·10LaF3 glass showed a large Hruby's parameter, possessing excellent thermal stability. Changes in glass network structure with fluoride content are discussed based on the Raman scattering spectra of glasses. The glass network structures in the 70TeO2·4(20-x)BaO·xBaF2·(10-y)La2O3·yaF3 glasses are basically composed of both Te(O, F)4 and Te(O, F)3 units, but the Te(O, F)4/Te(O, F)3 ratio in the glass becomes higher with increasing fluoride content. This may be considered one of the reasons why the 70TeO2·20BaF2·10LaF3 glass exhibits excellent thermal stability.

Microstructured hydroxyl environments and Raman spectroscopy in selected basic transition-metal halides

Raman vibrational spectra of the selected basic （hydroxyl OH and deuteroxyl OD） transition-metal halides, geomet- rically frustrated material series α-, β-, γ-Cu2（OH）3Cl, α-Cu2（OH）3Br, β-Ni2（OH）3Cl, β-Co2（OH）3Cl, β-Co2（OH）3Br, γ-Cu2（OD）3Cl, and β-Co2（OD）3Cl are measured at room temperature and analysed to investigate the relationship be- tween the microstructured OH environments and their respective Raman spectra. Among these selected samples, the last two are used to determine the OH stretching vibration region （3600 cm-1-3300 cm-1） and OH bending vibra- tion region （1000 cm-1-600 cm-1） of OH systems in the spectra. Through the comparative analysis of the distances d（metal-O）, d（O-halogen）, and d（OH）, the strong metal-O interaction and trimeric hydrogen bond （Car, C8 or C1 symmetry） are found in every material, but both determine simultaneously an ultimate d（OH）, and therefore an OH stretching vibration frequency. According to the approximately linear relationship between the OH stretching vibration frequency and d（OH）, some unavailable d（OH） are guessed and some doubtful d（OH） are suggested to be corrected. In addition, it is demonstrated in brief that the OH bending vibration frequency is also of importance to check the more detailed crystal microstructure relating to the OH group.

Decoding of Raman spectroscopy-encoded suspension arrays based on the detail constraint cycle domain adaptive model

Previous studies have already shown that Raman spectroscopy can be used in the encoding of suspension array technology.However,almost all existing convolutional neural network-based decoding approaches rely on supervision with ground truth,and may not be well generalized to unseen datasets,which were collected under different experimental conditions,applying with the same coded material.In this study,we propose an improved model based on CyCADA,named as Detail constraint Cycle Domain Adaptive Model(DCDA).DCDA implements the clasification of unseen datasets through domain adaptation,adapts representations at the encode level with decoder-share,and enforces coding features while leveraging a feat loss.To improve detailed structural constraints,DCDA takes downsample connection and skips connection.Our model improves the poor generalization of existing models and saves the cost of the labeling process for unseen target datasets.Compared with other models,extensive experiments and ablation studies show the superiority of DCDA in terms of classification stability and generalization.The model proposed by the research achieves a classification with an accuracy of 100%when applied in datasets,in which the spectrum in the source domain is far less than the target domain.

In Situ Resonance Raman Spectra of Organic Pigments in Momo Coral

In this study, Raman scattering measurements were obtained for momo corals covering their typical range of colors. Three different excitation wavelengths （785, 633, 514 nm） are used for the same samples at the same points. All the samples show the two major Raman features of polyenic compounds assigned to double carbon-carbon （C=C） stretching vibration at approximately 1 500 cm^-1 and single carbon-carbon （C-C） stretching vibration at approximately 1 130 cm^-1 bond stretching mode. These peaks are not detected in the corresponding white parts of momo corals. However, some changes in intensities, shape, and position of C=C stretching vibrations of the same point are observed by using different excitation wavelengths. The exact position of C-C stretching vibration of polyenic molecules depends strongly on the number of double bonds contained in their polyenic chain. In addition, the number of double bonds contained in the polyenic chains shows that different colors of the red momo coral are caused by different mixtures of polyenic compounds.

Raman spectrum study of δ-doped GaAs/AlAs multiple-quantum wells

Three samples of GaAs/A1As multiple-quantum wells with different quantum well widths and tS-doped with Be ac- ceptors at the well center were grown on （100） GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Polarized Raman spectra were recorded on the three samples at temperatures in a range of 4-50 K in a backscattering configuration. The two branches of coupled modes due to the interaction of the hole intersubband transitions and the quantum-well longitudinal optical （LO） phonon were observed clearly. The evaluation formalism of the Green function was employed and each lineshape of the Raman spectrum of the coupled modes was simulated. The dependence of the peak position of Raman shifts of the two coupled modes as well as the quantum-well LO phonon on the quantum-well size and measured temperature were given, and the coupling interaction mechanism between the hole subband transitions and the quantum-well LO phonon was researched.

Studies on Lattice Vibrational Modes of Na_5Eu(WO_4)_4 Single Crystal by Raman Spectrum

Raman and infrared spectra of host luminescent crystal Na_5Eu(WO_4)_4 in several different geometric con- figurations have been investigated.The symmetrical species of lattice vibrational modes of the crystal have been analysed by means of the site group analysis method of group theory.The experimental vibrational modes have been assigned to A_g,B_g,E_g,A_u and E_u of crystal factor group C_(4h).Because the energies of stretching vibrational modes of(WO_4)^(2-)ion groups are very high(in the range of 755～940 cm^(-1)),multiphonon nonradiative transitions of ~5D_2→~5D_1 and ~5D_1→~5D_0 in Eu^(3+)will occur.So it causes Eu^(3+)ions in Na_5Eu(WO_4)_4 to emit ~5D_0→~5F_j(j=1,2,3,4)emissions mainly at room temperature and the emission light of Na_5Eu( WO_4)_4 has high red colour purity.
