Density Functional Theory Calculated Raman Spectra of Ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2) and Cholecalciferol (D3)
2021
Density functional theory (DFT)-calculated Infrared and Raman spectra of Vitamin D2 and D3 are presented. The calculated results are compared with each other and with available experimental data. Applicability of Raman spectra for non-invasive optical Vitamin D sensors is discussed.

Controlling ground-state rotational dynamics of molecules by shaped femtosecond laser pulses
2004
We report controlled excitation of ground-state rotational wave packet by pulse-shaping technique. The experiment is conducted in nitrogen $({\mathrm{N}}_{2})$ at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. A femtosecond laser pulse produces rotational coherences in the vibronic ground state of ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}$ through an impulsive Raman process. The laser pulse is tailored using a spatial light modulator producing spectral phase modulation. Periodic phase steps are applied in order to control the excitation of specific rotational Raman transitions. The outcome is the modification of the relative excitation between odd and even rotational states which allows the control of the symmetry and…
Rotational coherence imaging and control for CN molecules through time-frequency resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering
2011
Numerical wave packet simulations are performed for studying coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) for CN radicals. Electronic coherence is created by femtosecond laser pulses between the X²Σ and B²Σ states. Due to the large energy separation of vibrational states, the wave packets are superpositions of rotational states only. This allows for a specially detailed inspection of the second- and third-order coherences by a two-dimensional imaging approach. We present the time-frequency domain images to illustrate the intra- and intermolecular interferences, and discuss the procedure to rationally control and experimentally detect the interferograms in solid Xe environment. peerReviewed
Sources optiques infrarouges impulsionnelles ultra-courtes et spectralement ultra-larges générées par effet Raman dans les fibres creuses
2019
Gas-filled Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fibers (HC-PCF) are efficient tools regarding ultra-wide and coherent optical frequency combs by Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS). Coherence is reached thanks to highly transient regime as it allows amplification, from quantum to macroscopic level, of a unique spatial and temporal mode (TSM). This results in the generation of Stokes waves with a well-determined phase. The present work details on which time scale coherence can subsist, between two consecutive pulses. The possibility of making a new kind of mode-lock is studied. Then the extreme versatility of gas-filled HC-PCF is illustrated by presenting different kind of new laser sources, exploitin…
Spray pyrolysis synthesis and characterization of Mg1-xSrxMoO4 heterostructure with white light emission
2020
[EN] Molybdates are inorganic materials with great potential in white phosphors application, being an alternative to traditional lighting sources. In this study, we report the synthesis and characterization of Mg1-xSrxMoO4 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1) powders with white light-emitting properties. Using X-ray diffraction, the formation of the monoclinic beta-MgMoO4 phase was observed for x = 0 and the formation of the tetragonal scheelite phase of SrMoO4 was observed for x = 1. The formation of a heterostructure composed of both phases was found for compositions with x = 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75. Scanning and trasmission electron microscopy images showed that the Mg1-xSrxMoO4 particles exhibi…
A Brief Review of the Effects of Pressure on Wolframite-Type Oxides
2018
In this article, we review the advances that have been made on the understanding of the high-pressure (HP) structural, vibrational, and electronic properties of wolframite-type oxides since the first works in the early 1990s. Mainly tungstates, which are the best known wolframites, but also tantalates and niobates, with an isomorphic ambient-pressure wolframite structure, have been included in this review. Apart from estimating the bulk moduli of all known wolframites, the cation–oxygen bond distances and their change with pressure have been correlated with their compressibility. The composition variations of all wolframites have been employed to understand their different structural phase …
Analytic evaluation of Raman intensities in coupled-cluster theory
2007
We present the first implementation for the analytic calculation of polarizability derivatives using coupled-cluster theory. These derivatives are related to the intensity of bands seen in Raman spectroscopy, and are therefore important quantities that can also be measured experimentally. The required theory of analytic third derivatives is discussed and also connected to response theory to allow the calculation of frequency-dependent quantities. This work includes the use of a string-based general coupled-cluster/configuration-interaction program which makes the calculation of Raman intensities for arbitrary coupled-cluster or configuration-interaction methods up to the full configuration-…
INFLUENCE OF UNEQUAL OSCILLATOR STRENGTHS ON STIMULATED RAMAN ADIABATIC PASSAGE THROUGH BRIGHT STATE
2012
In the present work an analytical and numerical analysis of the b -STIRAP process in a medium with unequal oscillator strengths is performed. It is shown that the length of population transfer can be considerably increased by an appropriate choice of the dipole transitions.
Simple model for the vibrations of embedded elastically cubic nanocrystals
2010
The purpose of this work is to calculate the vibrational modes of an elastically anisotropic sphere embedded in an isotropic matrix. This has important application to understanding the spectra of low-frequency Raman scattering from nanoparticles embedded in a glass matrix. First some low frequency vibrational modes of a free cubically elastic sphere are found to be nearly independent of one combination of elastic constants. This is then exploited to obtain an isotropic approximation for these modes which enables to take into account the surrounding isotropic matrix. This method is then used to quantatively explain recent spectra of gold and copper nanocrystals in glasses.
