A thin film of vanadium oxide Magnéli phase V4O7 was produced using cathodic arc sputtering. X-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and Raman investigations confirmed the formation this phase. The spectrum differs considerably from another oxide, V3O5, showing that spectroscopy is an excellent tool for distinguishing between these two phases. Temperature-dependent measurement...

A novel method of correlated imaging, combining confocal Raman microscopy (CRM) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) was developed in order to investigate the structural and chemical diversity inherent in three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures. These 3D spheroidal cell cultures are high throughput in vitro model systems that recapitulate some of ...

Nano fillers are part of new studies to enhance various properties of fluids and solids. For example, adding nanoparticles as an enforcement in nanocomposites or as an additive to improve thermal or electrical properties in nano-fluids are of extreme importance in science and industry. There are numerous methods to uniformly disperse nanoparticles in fluid and solid phase. One of the well-used ...

The concentration of iodine species can be measured using several different analysis methods. One of the most wellknown methods involves iodine titration with a thiosulfate solution. Total iodine can be analyzed using spectrometry, such as inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP...

The dependence of the color of quartz and opal natural minerals, collected from different localities in the Republic of Macedonia (Alinci, Belutče, Budinarci, Mariovo, Sasa, Saždevo, Čanište, Češinovo, Zletovo) on their element composition is studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT IR), micro-Raman spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). In order to determine th...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect three coformers and five disintegrants in granulation formulation on dissociation cocrystal during process by monitoring wet with probe-type low-frequency Raman (LF-Raman) spectroscopy. As model cocrystals, paracetamol (APAP)-oxalic acid (OXA), APAP-maleic (MLA), APAP-trimethylglycine (TMG) were used. recipe containing cocrystals performed over t...
