Low temperature phase of YbPd investigated by Raman scattering

Low temperature phase of YbPd investigated by Raman scattering

The possibility of the structural change in YbPd has been investigated by Raman scattering in the temperature range from 4 K to 300 K. One peak was clearly observed around 91 cm−1 below 132 K. This is a clear evidence of a structural change at the transition temperature 132 K from the CsCl structure. The polarization dependence of the 91 cm−1 peak shows that the cubic and tetragonal symmetries ...

Binding of aromatic isocyanides on gold nanoparticle surfaces investigated by surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

The adsorption structure and binding of phenyl isocyanide (PNC), 2,6-dimethyl phenyl isocyanide (DMPNC), and benzyl isocyanide (BZI) on gold nanoparticle surfaces have been studied by means of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). PNC, DMPNC, and BZI have been found to adsorb on gold assuming a standing geometry with respect to the surfaces. The presence of the nu(CH) band in the SERS spect...

Lipid-cell interactions in human monocytes investigated by doubly-resonant coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy.

We demonstrate that doubly-resonant coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering can provide enhanced and highly specific contrast for molecules containing unique Raman-active small molecular groups. This combination provides contrast for molecules that can otherwise be difficult to discriminate by Raman spectroscopy. Here, human monocytes were incubated with either deuterated oleic acid or 17-octadec...

Low-temperature growth and Raman scattering study of vertically aligned ZnO nanowires on Si substrate

Reversible phase transformation of MnO2 nanosheets in an electrochemical capacitor investigated by in situ Raman spectroscopy.

The reversible phase transformation is reported from hexagonal to monoclinic structure responding to the intercalation/deintercalation of Na(+) between MnO(2) nanosheets upon potential cycling in aqueous electrolyte via an in situ Raman technique. This structural evolution will influence the Na(+) diffusion process in MnO(2) nanosheets and cause phase retention during the self-discharge process.
