Few-layer graphene on SiC, pyrolitic graphite, and graphene: A Raman scattering study

Abstract: To show the similarities between exfoliated graphene and epitaxial few layer graphite (FLG) layers, we present micro-Raman scattering measurements on three different graphite-based materials: micro-structured Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) disks with heights in the 20-2 nm range, exfoliated graphene monolayer, and FLG epitaxially grown on carbon terminated 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) substrates. We show that despite the fact the FLG layers are composed of many layers, the band structure of FLG epitaxially grown on 4H-SiC substrate must be composed of simple electronic bands as witnessed by a single component, Lorentzian shaped, double resonance Raman feature.

Evolution of the Raman Spectrum with the Chemical Composition of Graphene Oxide

Abstract: Raman spectra of graphene oxides (GOs) with different chemical compositions and synthesized by oxidation of distinct starting materials were analyzed to relate the spectral features to structural properties. The chemical compositions of different graphene oxides were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and nanoplatelets were characterized by zeta potential (ζ) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. The results indicated that the chemical composition, size, and superficial charge of the nanoplatelets depend on the starting material. We found five reported bands (D, D′, G, D″, and D*) in the first-order Raman spectrum and three bands (2D, D + D′, and 2D′) in the second-order Raman spectrum that successfully interpret the Raman spectra between 1000 and 3500 cm–1. Analysis of the bands allowed linear correlations to be found between the maximum positions of the 2D and D + D′ bands and between the relative intensities of the D and G bands (ID/IG) and the Csp2 percentage. Moreover, o...

Multicomponent blood analysis by near-infrared Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract: We demonstrate the use of Raman spectroscopy to measure the concentration of many important constituents (analytes) in serum and whole blood samples at physiological concentration in vitro across a multipatient data set. A near-infrared (830-nm) diode laser generates Raman spectra that contain superpositions of Raman signals from different analytes. Calibrations for glucose, cholesterol, urea, and other analytes are developed by use of partial least-squares cross validation. We predict six analytes in serum with significant accuracy in a 66-patient data set, using 60-s spectra. The calibrations are shown to be fairly robust against system drift over the span of seven weeks. In whole blood, a preliminary analysis yields accurate predictions of some of the same analytes and also hematocrit. The results hold promise for potential medical applications.

Raman spectroscopy of protein and nucleic acid assemblies.

Abstract: ▪ Abstract The Raman spectrum of a protein or nucleic acid consists of numerous discrete bands representing molecular normal modes of vibration and serves as a sensitive and selective fingerprint of three-dimensional structure, intermolecular interactions, and dynamics. Recent improvements in instrumentation, coupled with innovative approaches in experimental design, dramatically increase the power and scope of the method, particularly for investigations of large supramolecular assemblies. Applications are considered that involve the use of (a) time-resolved Raman spectroscopy to elucidate assembly pathways in icosahedral viruses, (b) polarized Raman microspectroscopy to determine detailed structural parameters in filamentous viruses, (c) ultraviolet-resonance Raman spectroscopy to probe selective DNA and protein residues in nucleoprotein complexes, and (d) difference Raman methods to understand mechanisms of protein/DNA recognition in gene regulatory and chromosomal complexes.
