Electrochemical reduction of solution cast and self-assembled graphene oxide (GO) films on Au surfaces were studied using organic solvents. During the cyclic voltammetry measurements the structural changes in the films were recorded focusing on in situ infrared and Raman techniques. Both FT-Raman and dispersive Raman spectroscopy were utilized for the reduction studies. The spectroelectrochemic...

in this research zinc oxide (zno) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by sol-gel method using zinc acetate. the zno nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), ultraviolet-visible (uv-vis), fourier transform infra-red (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectroscopy. the structure of nanoparticles was studied using xrd pattern. the c...

Low Carbohydrate High Protein (LCHP) diet displays pro-atherogenic effects, however, the exact mechanisms involved are still unclear. Here, with the use of vibrational imaging, such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman (RS) spectroscopies, we characterize biochemical content of plaques in Brachiocephalic Arteries (BCA) from ApoE/LDLR(-/-) mice fed LCHP diet as compared to control, re...

Plasma polymerized a-C:H thin films have been deposited on Si (100) and aluminum coated glass substrates by a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) operated at medium pressure using C₂Hm/Ar (m = 2, 4, 6) gas mixtures. The deposited films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS), Raman spectroscopy, and ellipsometry. FT-IRRAS revealed the presen...

The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and FT-Raman spectra of 4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one and 4,5-dichloro-1,3-dioxolan-2-one have been recorded in the range 3700-400 and 3700-100 cm(-1), respectively. The complete vibrational assignment and analysis of the fundamental modes of the compounds were carried out using the observed FTIR and FT-Raman data. The vibrational frequencies determined exper...

An impressive collection of chert artefacts from the Foeni Neolithic archaeological site (Timiş County, Banat region, Romania) is hosted by the Banat Museum in Timişoara. A representative set of seven specimens was non-destructively investigated using FT-Raman and ATR-FT-IR spectroscopy. The research was carried out for checking if these readily available, non-destructive, fast, and cheap metho...

FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 1-(5,5-dioxido-10H-phenothiazin-10-yl)ethanone were recorded and analyzed. The vibrational wavenumbers were computed using B3LYP/6-31G∗ and SDD basis. Potential energy distribution of normal modes of vibrations was done using GAR2PED program. The HOMO and LUMO analysis is used to determine the charge transfer within the molecule. The stability of the molecule arisi...

The FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of metronidazolewere recorded in the regions 4000-400cm and 4000-400cmrespectively. The spectroscopic data of the molecule in the ground state were calculated using Hartee-Fock and Density Functional Method (B3LYP) with 6-31G(d,p) basis set. With the observed FTIR and FT-Raman data, a complete vibrational band assignment and analysis of the fundamental modes of the...

Cancer is one of the most studied pathology and early detection could be helpful for treatment or other types of interventions that may stop the fatal evolution. The preclinical studies can be applied on experimental models, especially on rodents. Cancer can be induced experimentally most often by the application of chemical carcinogens, tumor cells inoculation or xenografts. FT-Raman spectrosc...
