Intensity of theB1gphonon Raman scattering inYBa2Cu3O7: Comparison of normal and superconducting states
1995
We compare theoretically the intensity of the ${\mathit{B}}_{1\mathit{g}}$ phonon Raman scattering in ${\mathrm{YBa}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ above and below the superconducting transition temperature ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{c}}$. Our analysis shows that a considerable enhancement of the scattering intensity in the superconducting state that is observed experimentally can be caused by an extension of the number of intermediate electronic states near the Fermi surface that participate in the Raman process.
New insight into the aptamer conformation and aptamer/protein interaction by surface-enhanced Raman scattering and multivariate statistical analysis
2021
International audience; We study the interaction between one aptamer and its analyte (the MnSOD protein) by the combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering and multivariate statistical analysis. We observe the aptamer structure and its evolution during the interaction under different experimental conditions (in air or in buffer). Through the spectral treatment by principal component analysis of a large set of SERS data, we were able to probe the aptamer conformations and orientations relative to the surface assuming that the in-plane nucleoside modes are selectively enhanced. We demonstrate that the aptamer orientation and thus its flexibility rely strongly on the presence of a spacer …
Crystal growth and phase transitions of solid solutions in [N(CH3)4]2MX4 isomorph class
1989
Abstract Homogeneous single crystals of tetramethylammonium tetrahalogenometallate solid solutions have been grown: a temperature difference growth method with thermally enforced convection was used during the material transport from an equilibrated feed material to the growing crystals. The smallest crystals were mostly studied by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray crystallography. Some bigger crystals were available for dielectric measurements and Raman scattering. The temperature-concentration phase diagrams of solid solutions look like the temperature-pressure phase diagrams of pure tetramethylammonium salts. The progressive substitution seems equivalent to a change of the pres…
Characterization of the non-stoichiometry in lanthanum oxyfluoride by FT-IR absorption, Raman scattering, X-ray powder diffraction and thermal analys…
1997
Abstract The FT-IR absorption, FT-Raman scattering, X-ray powder diffraction (XPD), and thermogravimetry were used to explore the non-stoichiometry in LaOF. The TGA-DTA analyses between 30 and 1500°C showed that the LaO1 − xF1 + 2x phases yielded the stoichiometric LaOF as an intermediate product. The temperature of formation of the LaOF and La2O3 increased with increasing excess of fluoride. The room temperature XPD data in 6.5 ⩽ 2θ ⩽ 121° range were analyzed by the Rietveld profile refinement method and subsequently by the bond valence calculations. All LaO1 − xF1 + 2x phases possess the tetragonal PbFCl-type structure (space group: P4/nmm; Z = 2) while the stoichiometric LaOF has the hex…
Electronic spectroscopy of I2–Xe complexes in solid Krypton
2012
In the present work, we have studied ion-pair states of matrix-isolated I(2) with vacuum-UV absorption and UV-vis-NIR emission, where the matrix environment is systematically changed by mixing Kr with Xe, from pure Kr to a more polarizable Xe host. Particular emphasis is put on low doping levels of Xe that yield a binary complex I(2)-Xe, as verified by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) measurements. Associated with interaction of I(2) with Xe we can observe strong new absorption in vacuum-UV, redshifted 2400 cm(-1) from the X → D transition of I(2). Observed redshift can be explained by symmetry breaking of ion-pair states within the I(2)-Xe complex. Systematic Xe doping of Kr ma…
Density Functional Theory Modelled Absorption and Raman Spectra Applicable to Ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2) and Cholecalciferol (D3)
2021
The study establishes optically relevant lines by modelling ergocalciferol (D2) and cholecalciferol (D3) and compare these to measured and earlier reported absorption and Raman spectra lines. This is a step to reach a further goal of finding if minute Vitamin D (D2 and D3) concentration changes could be determined so that a non-invasive sensor could be developed with a reference to non-invasive measurements reported in [1] describing a Raman spectroscopy method of blood glucose concentration of threshold of 5 mmol/l. However, our concentrations are lower by two orders, i.e., 50 nmol/l. At such concentrations random-type metabolites may have an important role, like those related with person’…

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…
