ExoMars Raman Laser Spectrometer: A Tool for the Potential Recognition of Wet-Target Craters on Mars
摘要： In the present work, near-infrared, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Raman, and X-ray diffractometer techniques have been complementarily used to carry out a comprehensive characterization of a terrestrial analogue selected from the Chesapeake Bay impact structure (CBIS). The obtained data clearly highlight the key role of Raman spectroscopy in the detection of minor and trace compounds, through which inferences about geological processes occurred in the CBIS can be extrapolated. Beside the use of commercial systems, further Raman analyses were performed by the Raman laser spectrometer (RLS) ExoMars Simulator. This instrument represents the most reliable tool to effectively predict the scienti?c capabilities of the ExoMars/Raman system that will be deployed on Mars in 2021. By emulating the analytical procedures and operational restrictions established by the ExoMars mission rover design, it was proved that the RLS ExoMars Simulator can detect the amorphization of quartz, which constitutes an analytical clue of the impact origin of craters. Beside amorphized minerals, the detection of barite and siderite, compounds crystallizing under hydrothermal conditions, helps indirectly to con?rm the presence of water in impact targets. Furthermore, the RLS ExoMars Simulator capability of performing smart molecular mappings was successfully evaluated.

Block Copolymer Derived Vertically Coupled Plasmonic Arrays for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
摘要： A surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy sensing template consisting of gold-covered nanopillars is developed. The plasmonic slab consists of a perforated gold film at the base of the nanopillars and a Babinet complementary dot array on top of the pillars. The nanopillars were fabricated by the incorporation of an iron salt precursor into a self-assembled block copolymer thin film and subsequent reactive ion etching. The preparation is easy, scalable, and cost-effective. We report on the increase in surface-enhanced Raman scattering efficiency for smaller pillar heights and stronger coupling between the dot array and perforated gold film with average enhancement factors as high as 107. In addition, the block copolymer-derived templates show an excellent relative standard deviation of 8% in the measurement of the Raman intensity. Finite difference time domain simulations were performed to investigate the nature of the electromagnetic near-field enhancement and to identify plasmonic hot spots.

Different material modifications in laser-induced damage of optical films in air and vacuum environments
摘要： A combination study of material modifications for the catastrophic laser-induced damage by 12 ns, 1064 nm laser pulse irradiation was investigated in air and vacuum environments. The samples were observed by optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy, laser micro-Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectrum; moreover 2D numerical calculations were performed. According to our results, vacuum pumping induced higher laser field intensities, accompanying with more absorption of laser energy in the laser-induced damage process. All of these resulted in the material melting and subsequent re-solidification in the laser-damaged core in vacuum. While, in the air conditions, plasma expanding due to material heating and associated thermal expansion induced a large stress field, which caused the material deformation and formation of delamination and crack in the laser-damage region.

Raman high-pressure study of butane isomers up to 40 GPa
摘要： Raman spectroscopy studies on n and i-butane were performed at pressures of up to 40 GPa at ambient temperatures using the DAC technique. Normal butane undergoes two phase transitions at 1.9(5) GPa and 2.9(5) GPa and isobutane at 2.7(5) GPa and 3.5(5) GPa. These phase transitions were identi?ed based on observations of the splitting Raman modes and the appearance or disappearance of particular Raman peaks. Our results demonstrate the complex, high-pressure behavior of butane isomers.

Patterning GaSe by High-Powered Laser Beams
摘要： We report the high-powered laser modification of the chemical, physical, and structural properties of the two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals material GaSe. Our results show that contrary to expectations and previous reports, GaSe at the periphery of a high-power laser beam does not entirely decompose into Se and Ga2O3. In contrast, we find unexpectedly that the Raman signal from GaSe gets amplified around regions where it was not expected to exist. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), dielectric force microscopy (DFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) results show that laser irradiation induces the formation of nanoparticles. Our analyses demonstrate that, except for a fraction of Ga2Se3, these nanoparticles still belong to the GaSe phase but possess different electrical and optical properties. These changes are evidenced in the increased Raman intensity attributed to the near-resonance conditions with the Raman excitation laser. The elemental analysis of nanoparticles shows that the relative selenium content increased to as much as 70% from a 50:50 value in stoichiometric GaSe. This elemental change is related to the formation of the Ga2Se3 phase identified by Raman spectroscopy at some locations near the edge. Further, we exploit the localized high-power laser processing of GaSe to induce the formation of Ag?GaSe nanostructures by exposure to a solution of AgNO3. The selective reaction of AgNO3 with laser-irradiated GaSe gives rise to composite nanostructures that display photocatalytic activity originally absent in the pristine 2D material. The photocatalytic activity was investigated by the transformation of 4-nitrobenzenethiol to its amino and dimer forms detected in situ by Raman spectroscopy. This work improves the understanding of light?matter interaction in layered systems, offering an approach to the formation of laser-induced composites with added functionality.

Determination of Phonon Deformation Potentials in Carbon-Doped Silicon
摘要： Carbon-doped silicon (Si:C) is used as a stressor to the channel of n-type metal oxide semiconductor field-effect-transistor (MOSFET). In this study, we determined PDPs, phonon deformation potentials, (p and q) of Si:C to realize evaluation of anisotropic biaxial stress by using water-immersion Raman spectroscopy. Raman peak shift in longitudinal and transverse optical (LO and TO) phonon modes were measured by water-immersion Raman spectroscopy. Furthermore, in-plane and out-of-plane strain were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Based on the Raman shift and the in-plane strain, p and q in each sample were derived. As a result, it took a different value from pure-Si, and the PDPs tended to increase as the C concentration increased.

Role of microstructure and structural disorder on tribological properties of polycrystalline diamond films
摘要： Polycrystalline diamond films with systematic change in microstructure that varies from microcrystalline to nanocrystalline structure are synthesized on Si by hot filament chemical vapor deposition. The morphology and structural properties of the grown diamond films are analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The average roughness and grain size of the diamond films decrease with increase in CH4 to H2 ratio from 0.5 to 3%. Also, structural disorder in these diamond films increases with decrease in grain size as evidenced from Raman spectroscopy. The coefficient of friction (CoF) is found to be very low for all the films. However, the average CoF is found to increase from 0.011 ± 0.005 to 0.03 ± 0.015 as the grain size decrease from ～1 μm down to ～20 nm. Post analysis of wear track by FESEM, AFM based nanoscale friction and Raman spectroscopy reveal that microcrystalline diamond undergoes shear induced amorphization with negligible wear rate while nanocrystalline diamond films undergo shear induced plastic deformation without amorphization. A comprehensive mechanism for the observed CoF is discussed in the framework of microstructure, structural disorder and shear induced tribo-chemical reactions at the sliding interface.

Kinetics of graphitization of thin diamond-like carbon (DLC) films catalyzed by transition metal
摘要： In this paper, we have studied the kinetics of graphitization at 773K of thin diamond-like carbon (DLC) films coated with minute amount of Ni metallic particles. DLC films are deposited at room temperature by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on a transparent quartz substrate, and Ni is deposited on the surface of DLC using molecular beam epitaxy technique at room temperature. The ultra-high vacuum thermal (range 573-873K with 60 min annealing treatments) and kinetic (range 30-3760 min at 773K) behaviors of the deposited films are investigated. Surface and interface characterizations indicate that the growth of graphitic sp2 clusters starts at temperatures lower than 573K. The kinetics of graphitization is recorded at 773K. Thus, the continuous growth of graphitic clusters leads to a long-range kinetics. These clusters are responsible for the increase in the electrical conductivity and carrier mobility, reaching values of 6.103 Siemens/cm and 20 V/cm2?s, respectively. This continuous change is not only explained by the nucleation and growth of graphitic clusters, but also by some reorientation of them alongside both the surface and the quartz substrate. The obtained results demonstrate that thermally post-treated catalytic metal/DLC films are promising materials for conductive electrodes and sensing applications.

Design and preparation of centrifugal microfluidic chip integrated with SERS detection for rapid diagnostics
摘要： A microfluidic SERS chip integrated with blood separation and in-situ detection was designed and fabricated for the rapid detection of clinical blood samples. Each functional unit in the microfluidic SERS chip consist of separation-decantation cavity based on centrifugal separation principle, mixing channels and SERS detection chamber built with integrated nano-Au on Ag film microstructure. The serum creatinine was selected as a typical sample to demonstrate the capability of microfluidic SERS chip. It was found that the creatinine SERS characteristic peaks at 678 cm-1 can be effectively identified and the detection limit could be as low as 4.42 × 10-3 μmol mL-1 in water. The blood samples were also tested in microfluidic SERS chip. The whole separation and test process could be completed within 2 min, which is a significant improvement in the field of creatinine detection. The whole blood of six cases clinical blood samples were also tested, and the results were consistent with the enzymatic results. The developed microfluidic SERS chip has advantages including reduction of the required quantity of blood sample, reusable and easy to operate. It is expected to provide a new method for rapid diagnostics.

Synthesis, DFT studies, fabrication, and optical characterization of the [ZnCMC] <sup>TF</sup> polymer (organic/inorganic) as an optoelectronic device
摘要： A novel carboxymethyl cellulose zinc thin film [ZnCMC]TF was fabricated using the sol–gel technique. Different characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and the optical properties were used to study the properties of [ZnCMC]TF. The molecular structure, FTIR, and optical properties were optimized. The Raman spectrum of the [ZnCMC]TF complex shows several bands in the range of 72–556 cm?1 due to (nZn–O) stretching and (Zn–O) bending, which is an obvious distinction between the FTIR and Raman spectra of [ZnCMC]TF. The optimization was performed using density functional theory (DFT) by DMol3 and Cambridge Serial Total Energy Package (CASTEP) program. The chemical structure was confirmed by spectroscopic and structural properties for both CMC and [ZnCMC]TF; the XRD results showed the same crystal structure (Monoclinic 2). [ZnCMC]TF has a larger grain size than CMC and has a similar behavior in the optical gap energy. The optical constants increased with increasing photon energy, refractive index n, absorption index k, and optical conductivity. The SEM images provide very good evidence in favor of the reaction of zinc transition metal with CMC for the formation of the [ZnCMC]TF complex. The resulting [CMC] spherical thin film and the [ZnCMC]TF polymeric nanorods were examined by different techniques including TEM and EDX. The optical properties obtained from the simulated FTIR, XRD, and CASTEP are in good agreement with those obtained from the experimental studies on CMC and ZnCMC. Based on the optical findings, [ZnCMC]TF is a promising candidate in applications such as solar cells and optoelectronic devices.
