High-resolution Fourier-transform infrared chemical imaging with multiple synchrotron beams

TLDR
This advance allows truly diffraction-limited high-resolution imaging over the entire mid-infrared spectrum with high chemical sensitivity and fast acquisition speed while maintaining high-quality SNR.
Abstract
Conventional Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopic systems are limited by an inevitable trade-off between spatial resolution, acquisition time, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and sample coverage. We present an FTIR imaging approach that substantially extends current capabilities by combining multiple synchrotron beams with wide-field detection. This advance allows truly diffraction-limited high-resolution imaging over the entire mid-infrared spectrum with high chemical sensitivity and fast acquisition speed while maintaining high-quality SNR.

Evidence of Nanocrystalline Semiconducting Graphene Monoxide during Thermal Reduction of Graphene Oxide in Vacuum

TL;DR: The results indicate that the resulting thermally reduced G-O (TRG-O) consists of a two-dimensional nanocrystalline phase segregation: unoxidized graphitic regions are separated from highly oxidized regions of GMO.

Ultrasensitive chemical sensing through facile tuning defects and functional groups in reduced graphene oxide.

TL;DR: A facile, low-cost, and efficient method to tune the structure and properties of chemically reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by applying a transient voltage across the rGO for ultrasensitive gas sensors and found the voltage-activated rGO was highly sensitive to NO2 with a sensitivity 500% higher than that of the original rGO.

Dirac charge dynamics in graphene by infrared spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, an infrared spectromicroscopy study of charge dynamics in graphene integrated in gated devices is presented, which reveals significant departures of the quasiparticle dynamics from predictions made for Dirac fermions in idealized, free-standing graphene.

Near-field probing of vibrational absorption for chemical microscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the use of the apertureless approach to scan near field optical microscopy to obtain contrast in vibrational absorption on a scale of about 100 nanometres, about one-hundredth of a wavelength.

Sea urchin spine calcite forms via a transient amorphous calcium carbonate phase.

TL;DR: It is shown that sea urchin spine regeneration proceeds via the initial deposition of amorphous calcium carbonate, which may have interesting implications for the development of sophisticated materials.
