Raman spectroscopy is an optical technique that can identify molecules in a label-free manner, and is therefore heavily investigated in various areas ranging from biomedical engineering to materials science. Probe-based Raman spectroscopy can perform minimally invasive chemical analysis, and thus has potential as a real-time diagnostic tool during surgery. In this study, Raman experimentation was calibrated by examining the Raman shifts with respect to the concentrations of chemical substances. Raman signal characteristics, targeted for normal mice and cerebral tissues of the 5xFAD dementia mutant model with accumulated amyloid beta plaques, were measured and analyzed to explore the possibility of diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. The application to the diagnosis of dementia was cross-validated by measuring Raman signals of amyloid beta. The results suggest the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool that may be useful in various areas of application.

연소상태의 온도를 이동하면서 측정할 수 있는 광대역 코헤런트 반스톡스 라만 분광기를 제작하였다. 분광기의 온도 측정 정확도를 향상시키기 위하여 무모드레이저를 제작하여 스톡스광으로 사용하였다. 이동형 CARS 분광기에 적합하도록 CARS신호 측정용 단색기를 제작하여 분광기 내부에 설치 하였다. CARS 분광기의 온도 측정의 정확도를 알아보려고 흑연관 전기로를 이용하여 표준 복사온도계와 CARS 분광기로 측정한 온도의 차이를 측정하였다. 장치의 온도 정확도는 1000 K - 2400 K 사이의 온도영역에서 2%이내 였다. 무모드 색소레이저의 출력 스펙트럼의 시간에 따른 안정도를 측정하여 온도측정에 미치는 오차를 조사한 결과 1500 K에서 5 시간 동안 1.5 %이내 였다. 평면 화염 버너에서 프로판공기 예혼합 화염의 온도 분포를 측정하여 이 장치의 응용 가능성을 확인하였다.

Achieving a highly resolved spatial distribution of Mn-bearing minerals and elements in the natural ferromanganese nodules can provide detailed knowledge of the temporal variations of geochemical conditions affecting the formation processes of nodules. While a recent study utilizing Raman spectroscopy has reported the changes in the manganate mineral phases with growth for spherical nodules from the Arctic Sea, the distributions of minerals and elements in the nodules from the shallow Arctic Sea with non-spherical forms have not yet fully elucidated. Here, we reported the micro-laser Raman spectra with varying data acquisition points along three different profiles from the center to the outermost rim of the non-spherical ferromanganese nodules collected from the East Siberian Sea (~73 m). The elemental distributions in the nodule (such as Mn, Fe, etc.) were also investigated by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis to observe the internal structure and mineralogical details. Based on the microscopic observation, the internal structures of a non-spherical nodule can be divided into three different regions, which are sediment-rich core, iron-rich substrate, and Mn-Fe layers. The Raman results show that the Mn-bearing mineral phases vary with the data acquisition points in the Mn-Fe layer, suggesting the changes in the geochemical conditions during nodule formation. In addition, we also observe that the mineral composition and structural characteristics depend on the profile direction from the core to the rim. Particularly, the Raman spectra obtained along one profile show the lack of Fe-(oxy)hydroxides and the noticeably high crystallinity of Mn-bearing minerals such as birnessite and todorokite. On the other hand, the spectra obtained along the other two profiles present the presence of significant amount of amorphous or poorly-ordered Fe-bearing minerals and the low crystallinity of Mn-bearing minerals. These results suggest that the diagenetic conditions varied with the different growth directions. We also observed the presence of halite in several layers in the nodule, which can be evidence of the alteration of seawater after nodule formation. The current results can provide the opportunity to obtain detailed knowledge of the formation process and geochemical environments recorded in the natural non-spherical ferromanganese nodule.

Chemometrics using near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy have found significant uses in a variety quantitative and qualitative analyses of pharmaceutical products in complex matrixes. Most of the pharmaceutical can be measured directly with little or no sample preparation using these spectroscopic methods. During pharmaceutical manufacturing process, analytical techniques with no or less sample preparation are very critical to confirm the quality. This study showed NIR and Raman spectroscopy with principal component analysis (PCA) was very effective for the blending processing control. It is of utmost importance to evaluate critical parameters related to quality of products during pharmaceutical processing. The blending is confirmed by off-line determination of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) by a conventional method such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV spectroscopy. These analytical methods are time-consuming and ineffective for real time control. This study showed the possibility for the determination of blend uniformity end-point of CR tablets with the use of both NIR and Raman spectroscopy. The samples were acquired from six positions during blending processing with U-type blender from 0 to 30 min. Using both collected NIR and Raman spectral data, principal component analysis (PCA) was used to follow the uniformity of blending and finally determine the end-point. The variation of homogeneity of six samples during blending was clearly found and blend uniformity end-point was successfully confirmed in the domains of principal component (PC) scores.

기저면에 구조적 결함을 도입함으로써 그래핀과 $MoS_2$와 같은 이차원 결정의 물리, 화학, 전기 및 기계적 성질을 제어하려는 연구가 폭넓게 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 속의 산소 래디컬을 이용하여 기계적 박리법으로 만들어진 단일층 그래핀과 $MoS_2$ 표면에 구조적 결함을 유도하고 제어하는 방법을 개발하였다. 라만 및 광발광 분광법을 통해 생성된 결함 밀도를 측정하고 전하 밀도 등의 화학적 변화를 추적하였다. 그래핀의 경우 산소 플라즈마 처리 시간에 따라 결함(defect)의 정도를 보여주는 라만 D-봉우리의 높이와 넓이가 커짐을 확인하였고 이를 G-봉우리의 높이와 비교하여 정량하였다. $MoS_2$의 경우 $E{^1}_{2g}$와 $A_{1g}$-봉우리의 높이가 점점 감소하고 광발광의 세기 또한 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 기판의 편평도가 결함 생성 속도에 미치는 영향을 비교 및 분석하여 반응 메커니즘을 제시하고자 한다.

In this study, we aimed to analyze the chemical changes that occur in Korean paper in an accelerated deterioration environment of 105℃. We selected the Korean paper produced with different types of cooking agents (plant lye, Na₂CO₃) and during different manufacturing seasons (winter, summer). The degree of deterioration of the Korean paper was confirmed by measuring the brightness, yellowness, and pH level, and the degree of change in each vibrational region of cellulose as deterioration progressed through infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The FT-IR analysis showed that, as deterioration progressed, the absorbance of the amorphous region in cellulose decreased, whereas the absorbance of the crystalline region slightly increased. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Raman spectroscopy were performed to verify the changes in the crystalline and amorphous regions in cellulose indicated by the FT-IR results. Furthermore, the crystallinity index (CI) was calculated; it showed a slight increase after deterioration; therefore, CI was confirmed to follow the same trend as that observed for absorbance in the FT-IR results. In addition, as a result of Raman spectroscopic analysis, the degree of decomposition of the amorphous region in the cellulose under the manufacturing conditions was confirmed by the fluorescence measured after the deterioration.

Atomistic origins of carbon solubility into silicates are essential to understand the effect of carbon on the properties of silicates and evolution of the Earth system through igneous and volcanic processes. Here, we investigate the atomic structure and NMR properties of dissolved carbon in enstatite using Raman spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. Raman spectrum for enstatite synthesized with 2.4. wt% of amorphous carbon at 1.5 GPa and $1,400^{\circ}C$ shows vibrational modes of enstatite, but does not show any vibrational modes of $CO_2$ or ${CO_3}^{2-}$. The result indicates low solubility of carbon into enstatite at a given pressure and temperature conditions. Because $^{13}C$ NMR chemical shift is sensitive to local atomic structure around carbon and we calculated $^{13}C$ NMR chemical shielding tensors for C substituted enstatite cluster as well as molecular $CO_2$ using quantum chemical calculations to give insights into $^{13}C$ NMR chemical shifts of carbon in enstatite. The result shows that $^{13}C$ NMR chemical shift of $CO_2$ is 125 ppm, consistent with previous studies. Calculated $^{13}C$ NMR chemical shift of C is ~254 ppm. The current calculation will alllow us to assign potential $^{13}C$ NMR spectra for the enstatite dissolved with carbon and thus may be useful in exploring the atomic environment of carbon.
