具有抗漂移特性的激光共焦拉曼光谱成像技术与系统

共焦拉曼技术结合了共焦显微技术和拉曼光谱技术,具有高分辨率、高灵敏度、可层析成像的优势,广泛应用于物理、材料科学、生物医学、文物鉴定以及刑侦等领域。由于拉曼光谱成像需要较长时间,测量中系统易受环境等因素影响产生漂移,造成离焦,而现有商用共焦拉曼光谱仪并无定焦能力,容易影响测量结果。针对此问题,研制了一种具有抗漂移能力的激光共焦拉曼光谱探测系统。在不改变共焦拉曼探测基本原理的基础上,利用拉曼轴向响应曲线最大值对应显微物镜焦面这一特性,对每个探测点进行轴向扫描,采集一定数量的轴向信号,通过曲线拟合寻找光谱强度极值位置,保证扫描过程中样品始终处于系统的焦点位置处,抑制离焦影响,改善拉曼光谱成像效果。以单层石墨烯样品进行单点测试,证明仪器在5 μm离焦范围内可以实现实时定焦,定焦后采集到的拉曼光谱强度几乎不变,具有良好的抗漂移能力;对硅台阶样品进行成像测试,结果表明成像过程中,信号强度未发生明显变化,且横向分辨率有一定改善,效果明显优于普通共焦拉曼光谱探测系统。

基于最大似然法的共焦拉曼光谱成像方法

随着现代科技对纳米微观区域兴趣的增加,如DNA测序、分子纳米器件微结构检测等,其对拉曼光谱技术的空间分辨力提出了更高的要求,而现有共焦拉曼光谱技术受自身原理限制,空间分辨力已无法满足科学需求。针对这一问题,在现有共焦拉曼光谱技术的基础上,提出一种基于最大似然算法的共焦拉曼光谱成像方法。该方法将超分辨图像复原技术与共焦拉曼光谱技术相结合,利用基于Poisson-Markov约束的最大似然超分辨复原算法对共焦拉曼光谱图像进行超分辨图像复原处理,恢复图像高频成分,进而改善共焦拉曼光谱系统的空间分辨能力,实现超分辨成像。仿真分析和实验结果表明,提出的基于最大似然算法的共焦拉曼光谱成像方法在不改变现有共焦拉曼光谱系统光学结构的前提下,仅对单幅拉曼光谱图像进行超分辨图像复原处理,即可将系统空间分辨力提高到200 nm,实现超分辨成像,同时该方法具有较强的噪声抑制能力。该方法有效地提高了共焦拉曼光谱系统的空间分辨力,为物理化学、材料科学等前沿领域中的高空间分辨微区光谱探测提供了一种新的途径,是一种行之有效的高空间分辨的共焦拉曼光谱成像方法。

Correlation of size and oxygen bonding at the interface of Si nanocrystal in Si–SiO2 nanocomposite: A Raman mapping study

Raman spectroscopy/mapping is used to investigate the variation of Si phonon wavenumbers, i.e., lower wavenumber (LW ~ 495–510 cm⁻¹) and higher wavenumber (HW ~ 515–519 cm⁻¹) phonons, observed in Si–SiO₂ multilayer nanocomposite (NCp) grown using pulsed laser deposition. Sensitivity of Raman spectroscopy as a local probe to surface/interface is effectively used to show that LW and HW phonons originate at surface (Si–SiO₂ interface) and core of Si nanocrystals, respectively. The consistent picture of this understanding is developed using Raman spectroscopy monitored laser heating/annealing and cooling experiment at the site of the desired wavenumber, chosen with the help of Raman mapping. Raman spectra calculations for Si₄₁ cluster with oxygen and hydrogen termination show strong mode at 512 cm⁻¹ for oxygen terminated cluster corresponding to the vibration of surface Si atoms. This supports our attribution of LW phonons to be originating at the Si–SiO₂ surface/interface. These results along with XPS show that nature of interface (oxygen bonding) in turn depends on the size of nanocrystals and LW phonons originate at the surface of smaller Si nanocrystals. The understanding developed can conclude the ongoing debate on large variation in Si phonon wavenumbers of Si–SiO₂ NCps in the literature. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Damage and molecular changes under a laser beam in SEM‐EDX/MRS interface: a case study on iron‐rich particles

The control of damage to individual environmental particles by a laser beam during Raman spectroscopy carried out in ambient air is generally well understood. The nature and control of damage under vacuum conditions (e.g. in the scanning electron microscopy with energy X‐ray detection combined with micro‐Raman spectroscopy—interfaced SEM‐EDX/MRS) are more complex and less well comprehended. The physical and chemical processes that affect the damage caused to small particles by lasers still remain somewhat unclear, but certainly the atmosphere (vacuum/air) and the beam intensity have very significant influences. Furthermore, it has been determined that some particles (e.g. haematite), although stable under an electron beam, are damaged by the laser beam, hampering their analysis. Additionally, when simultaneous analyses by SEM/EDX and MRS are considered, the correct choice of the collection surface plays a crucial role. As a result, the following collection substrates were tested to determine their influence on the laser beam damage process to the particle: silver and aluminium foils and silicon wafers. A test study was performed using artificial examples of haematite (Fe₂O₃) particles. Exposure of Fe₂O₃ particles in vacuum to 514‐ and 785‐nm laser radiation often leads to their melting, transformation and evaporation. The dependence of the damage caused by the laser beam on the particle structure is reported here. Molecular and crystallographic changes have also been revealed. Formation of magnetite (as an effect of re‐crystallisation) and Raman inactive structures was detected. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Characterization of Salting-Out Processes during CO2-Clathrate Formation Using Raman Spectroscopy: Planetological Application

Clathrate hydrates are particular solids that planetologists study in detail because those solids may be present in several bodies of the solar system, such as Mars, comets, and the icy satellites. The solids are formed by solid H₂O, like common water ice, but adopt open structures with cavities containing gas molecules. Clathrate hydrates are usually stable at relatively low temperature and high pressure, which are the typical conditions present inside these planetary objects. Their interest for astrobiology is that they represent potential sources of liquid water and gases when they decompose. The present work is focused on the crystallization of clathrates in Europa's (icy satellite of Jupiter) interior conditions. We postulate that clathrate hydrates may play an important role in its crust mineralogy and that it can explain some features of the satellite's surface due to their formation/destabilization. An in situ kinetic study by Raman Spectroscopy of the clathrate formation from salty solutions was performed in our laboratory. The chemical composition that we used mimics those obtained from Europa's surface during the Galileo mission. An effect of the salting-out process in the solution was monitored through the clathrate formational path. Our results demonstrate that this process may have geological consequences on Europa and confirm the suitability of Raman spectroscopy for planetary detection of clathrate hydrates and other ices.     

Characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using Raman and surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous atmospheric pollutants and food contaminants, which exhibit potent carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity. Vibrational spectroscopy techniques, especially Raman spectroscopy and surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), can be potentially used as an alternative technique to liquid and gas chromatography in PAH analysis. However, there is limited information on the intrinsic Raman and SERS fingerprints of PAHs. In this study, we have acquired the Raman and SERS spectra of seven PAH compounds and compared their experimental spectra with theoretical Raman spectra calculated by density function theory (DFT). The vibrational modes corresponding to the Raman peaks have also been assigned using DFT. Characteristic Raman and SERS peaks have been identified for five PAH compounds, and the limits of detection were estimated. Such information could be useful for developing SERS assays for simple and rapid PAH identification. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

In situ monitoring of solid‐state transition of p‐aminobenzoic acid polymorphs using Raman spectroscopy

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of solid‐state polymorphic transition of p‐aminobenzoic acid (PABA) using in situ Raman spectroscopy measurement. The polymorphic transition experiments were conducted on a micro quartz vessel mounted on a microscope, hot and cold stage, under isothermal conditions. The temperature was precisely controlled by a standalone temperature controller equipped with liquid nitrogen cooling system. The Raman spectroscopy probe was positioned on the surface of the solid sample in the micro vessel. The polymorphic transition progression was in situ monitored and recorded by Raman spectroscopy. Based on the polymorphic transition rate resulted from the quantitative analysis of Raman spectra, the mechanism of solid‐state polymorphic transition of PABA was examined by various empirical kinetic models. An Arrhenius analysis was also performed to calculate activation energies from 134.7 kJ mol⁻¹ to 137.7 kJ mol⁻¹ for the transition. The results demonstrated that in situ Raman spectroscopy is a valuable and accurate technique to probe polymorphic transition process. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
