TL;DR: In this article, a defect chemistry model has been formulated, which qualitatively describes the observed pyrochlore-fluorite structural transition, and a Raman spectrum of orthorhombic Y2TiO5.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report simultaneous measurement of the conductance and the Raman spectra of nanoscale junctions used for single-molecule electronic experiments, which strongly imply that multimodal sensing of individual molecules is possible in these mass-producible nanostructures.
Abstract: Electronic conduction through single molecules is affected by the molecular electronic structure as well as by other information that is extremely difficult to assess, such as bonding geometry and chemical environment. The lack of an independent diagnostic technique has long hampered single-molecule conductance studies. We report simultaneous measurement of the conductance and the Raman spectra of nanoscale junctions used for single-molecule electronic experiments. Blinking and spectral diffusion in the Raman response of both p-mercaptoaniline and a fluorinated oligophenylyne ethynylene correlate in time with changes in the electronic conductance. Finite difference time domain calculations confirm that these correlations do not result from the conductance modifying the Raman enhancement. Therefore, these observations strongly imply that multimodal sensing of individual molecules is possible in these mass-producible nanostructures.

TL;DR: Bulk pills of pressed carbon/copper nanoparticles displayed a highly pressure- and temperature-dependent electrical conductivity with sensitivity at least comparable to commercial materials and suggest the use of thin carbon/ copper nanocomposites as novel, low-cost sensor materials and offer a metal-based alternative to the currently used brittle oxidic spinels or perovskites.
Abstract: Copper nanoparticles with a mean carbon coating of about 1 nm were continuously produced at up to 10 g h−1 using a modified flame spray synthesis unit under highly reducing conditions. Raman spectroscopy and solid state 13C magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed that the thin carbon layer consisted of a sp2-hybridized carbon modification in the form of graphene stacks. The carbon layer protected the copper nanoparticles from oxidation in air. Bulk pills of pressed carbon/copper nanoparticles displayed a highly pressure- and temperature-dependent electrical conductivity with sensitivity at least comparable to commercial materials. These properties suggest the use of thin carbon/copper nanocomposites as novel, low-cost sensor materials and offer a metal-based alternative to the currently used brittle oxidic spinels or perovskites.
