教学激光喇曼光谱仪的研制与喇曼光谱课

一、引言由于1960年第一台激光器的问世,喇曼光谱工作在沉闷二十年后,又蓬勃地发展起来。在光谱技术不断改进的基础上,喇曼光谱的应用也从原来主要局限于化学结构分析等少数几个领域深入到了物理学、化学、生物学、矿物学和医学等各个方面,在石油化工等工业部门,喇曼光谱技术也得到了应用。因此,在物理、化学、化工、生物医学和地质矿产等专业的大学生中开设喇曼光谱实验课已日益显得必要。教育部1980年制定的“综合性大学物理专业近代物理实验大纲”、近年已出版或待出版的大学“化学物理实验”教材和大学“近代物理实验”教材中,都已把喇曼光谱列为教学内容之一。

Rayleigh and Raman scattering from optically active molecules

The intensity of Rayleigh and Raman scattering from optically active molecules is shown to be slightly different in right and left circularly polarized incident light. The circular intensity differential of the Rayleigh line is dependent on components of the optical activity tensor, and that of the Raman lines is a function of the variation of the optical activity with the vibrational coordinates. This circular intensity differential might be of the order of 10^-3 times that of the Rayleigh or Raman intensity.     

Simultaneous acquisition of all four forms of circular polarization Raman optical activity: results for α‐pinene and lysozyme

A new circularly polarized (CP) Raman spectrometer is described that demonstrates simultaneous acquisition of all four forms of circular polarization Raman optical activity (ROA). The instrument is a design extension of a commercially available back scattering circular polarization (SCP) ROA spectrometer. Circular polarization of the incident beam is introduced with a quarter‐wave plate, and a half‐wave plate alternately positioned in and out of the beam controls the modulation between right circular polarization (RCP) or left circular polarization (LCP) states. Combining this modulation with the simultaneous detection of RCP and LCP scattered Raman radiation allows the measurement of incident circular polarization (ICP), SCP, in‐phase dual circular polarization(DCP_I) and out‐of‐phase DCP_II‐ROA. In addition, three different forms of backscattered Raman spectra, namely unpolarized, highly polarized, and depolarized Raman spectra, as well as a degree of circularity spectrum are obtained. The performance of the new all‐CP ROA spectrometer is evaluated with neat α‐pinene and aqueous hen lysozyme solution. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Raman optical activity comes of age

The theory and applications of Raman optical activity (ROA), which measures vibrational optical activity by means of a small difference in the intensity of Raman scattering from chiral molecules in right- and left-circularly polarized incident light or, equivalently, a small circularly polarized component in the scattered light, are briefly reviewed. Thanks to new developments in instrumentation, ROA may be applied to a wide range of chiral molecular species. As well as providing the absolute configuration of small chiral molecules, the application of ab initio methods to the analysis of experimental ROA spectra holds great promise for the determination of the three-dimensional structure and conformational distribution in unprecedented detail. The many structure-sensitive bands in the ROA spectra of aqueous solutions of biomolecules provide detailed structural information including, in the case of proteins, the tertiary fold in addition to secondary structure elements such as helix and sheet. ROA studies of unfolded and partially folded proteins are providing new insight into the residual structure in denatured proteins and the aberrant behaviour of proteins responsible for misfolding diseases. It is even possible to measure the ROA spectra of most intact viruses, from which information about the folds of the major coat proteins and the structure of the nucleic acid core may be obtained. Hopefully this review will stimulate interest in the molecular physics aspects of the subject, and will encourage further theoretical work aimed at extracting maximum information from the plethora of structure-sensitive bands in typical ROA spectra.     

Incident circularly polarized Raman optical activity spectrometer based on circularity conversion method

A simple incident circular polarization Raman optical activity (ICP ROA) spectrometer was constructed by applying the method of circularity conversion. The circular polarization of the incident laser light was modulated between right and left by the insertion of a half‐wave plate and not by using a Pockels cell which is usually used in ICP ROA instruments. On the basis of the concept of the virtual enantiomer (Hug, W. Applied Spectroscopy, 2003, 57, 1), circularity converters were inserted in the optical train, which could effectively compensate the systematic offset. The new instrument successfully attained photon shot‐noise‐limited conditions for all bands except for the very strongly polarized Raman band. The ROA spectra of some standard chiral samples were measured to demonstrate the performance of the spectrometer. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

La_(1-x)Ca_xMnO_3薄膜的Raman光谱

测量了１３Ｋ到室温下外延生长的Ｌａ１－ｘＣａｘＭｎＯ３薄膜的Ｒａｍａｎ光谱，发现当冷却样品穿过磁有序温度时，纯的和掺Ｃａ２＋的样品的一些Ｒａｍａｎ模式发生红移，而散射强度在转变点附近形成极大值。为了检查散射张量的对称性，进行了左旋和右旋入射光偏振实验，发现当温度降低时，两种入射偏振下散射强度差明显增大，这表明散射过程中有磁激发涉入。这些事实提出了这类材料中单声子－单磁振子散射机制的可能     

Giant Raman optical activity of the 128-cm-1 mode in α-quartz

The threshold intensity of stimulated Raman scattering along the c-axis in α-quartz was measured for the 128-cm^-1 optical lattice vibration as a function of pump laser polarization at T = 10 K. In a right-handed, optically active quartz crystal the Raman threshold intensity for left-handed, circularly polarized pump light was lower by a factor of about 1.5 than for right-handed, circularly polarized light. The difference in threshold intensity is discussed in terms of Raman optical activity.     

Polarized Raman Scattering in Silicon Layers on Sapphire

The intensities of polarized components of Raman light scattering are measured for different crystallographic directions in epitaxial layers of silicon on sapphire. The experiment shows that the scattered radiation has a strong depolarized component, which is directly related to the occurrence of defects in the epitaxial layer. A model of an ensemble of crystallites is proposed to describe a defect crystal silicon layer on sapphire. It is shown that the characteristic value of disordering of crystalline domains in the epitaxial layer can be determined from the ratio between the intensities of the polarized and depolarized components. From measurements of the Raman scattering intensity as a function of the crystallographic direction, the anisotropy of the Raman scattering tensor is determined. Numerical values for two samples are obtained.     

Two-dimensional correlation analysis of Raman optical activity data on the α-helix-to-β-sheet transition in poly(L-lysine)

Raman optical activity (ROA) has evolved into an incisive probe of structure and conformational transitions in polypeptides and proteins revealing many signal patterns characteristic of specific secondary structural elements. In order to further facilitate analysis of ROA spectral intensity variations, two-dimensional correlation methods are applied to ROA and Raman spectra monitoring the α-helix-to-β-sheet transition in poly(L-lysine) as a function of temperature. Pretreatment of data using background subtraction, normalization and gentle smoothing is essential for the successful generation of 2D ROA correlations, 2D Raman correlations and 2D Raman/ROA heterocorrelations. The pseudoscalar nature of ROA spectra results in detailed 2D correlation analyses providing extensive interpretation of spectral intensity variations. Synchronous plots indicate band assignments consistent with established assignments in poly(L-lysine) together with possible new assignments. Corresponding asynchronous plots probe the temporal sequence of the conformational transition indicating distinct temporal phases while monitoring aggregation through a small amount of β-structure present at the start of the experiment ahead of α-helix unfolding. This study demonstrates the potential of 2D correlation analysis as a valuable technique for the extraction of detailed information about aggregation and conformational transitions in polypeptides and proteins from associated ROA and Raman spectra. Results indicate that aggregation of poly(L-lysine) monomers precedes intramolecular conversion of α-helix to β-sheet, which is then followed by fibril formation.     

Magnetic Raman optical activity in FeF2

Raman optical activity (ROA) of magnons and phonons in antiferromagnetic FeF₂ (T_N=78 K) has been studied as a function of temperature and in applied magnetic field. For exciting light incident along the rutile-structure c-axis, ROA is observed for magnons but not phonons. In zero field, the small anisotropy-induced splitting (0.09 cm⁻¹) of the two acoustic-magnon branches is observed by light scattering for the first time. The splitting in applied magnetic field is found to reduce with increasing temperature in accordance with theory. No ROA was detected for two-magnon excitations.     

Superresolution vibrational imaging by simultaneous detection of Raman and hyper-Raman scattering

We have developed a superresolution vibrational imaging method by simultaneous detection of Raman and hyper-Raman scattering. Raman and hyper-Raman images obtained with the same laser spot carry independent information on the sample spatial distribution, owing to different signal dependence (linear in Raman and quadratic in hyper-Raman) on the incident light intensity. This information can be quantitatively analyzed to recover the incident light intensity distribution at the focal plane. A superresolution vibrational image is then derived by the constrained deconvolution of the images by the obtained incident light intensity distribution. This method has been applied to a TiO? nanostructure and the obtained superresolution image was compared with a scanning electron microscopy image. The spatial resolution achieved by the present method is evaluated to be 160 nm, which is more than twice better than the diffraction limited resolution.
