We have determined the urea concentration in an aqueous solution using Raman spectroscopy by incorporating a Teflon tube as an effective intensity correction standard as well as sample container. A non-overlapping Teflon band was used as the reference peak to correct Raman intensity variations that occasionally resulted from changes in laser power. To increase the sensitivity, we positioned a copper reflector inside the Teflon tube to maximize the collection of Raman scattering. The obtained accuracy using Raman spectroscopy was 0.53 mM, close to the range of accuracy of previous NIR studies (0.15-0.52 mM).

Purpose: The objective of this research was to select high quality cucumber (cucumis sativus) seed by classifying into viable or non-viable one using Raman spectroscopy. Method: Both transmission and back-scattering Raman spectra of viable and non-viable seeds in the range from $150cm^{-1}$ to $1890cm^{-1}$ were collected with a laser illumination. Results: The Raman spectra of cucumber seed showed Raman peaks with features of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to predict viable seeds was developed with measured transmission and backscattering spectra with Raman spectroscopy and germination test results. Various types of spectra pretreatment were investigated to develop the classification models. The results of developed PLS-DA models using the transmission spectra with mean normalization or range normalization, and back-scattering spectra with mean normalization treatment or baseline correction showed 100% discrimination accuracy. Conclusions: These results showed that Raman spectroscopy technologies can be used to select the high quality cucumber seeds.

Phase stability diagram and boundary of a- and c-axis orientation of $SmBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (SmBCO) thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were reported with studies based on x-ray diffraction [1]. Four different samples are systematically analyzed: normal c-axis oriented orthorhombic $SmBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$, a-axis oriented $SmBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$, c-axis oriented orthorhombic $SmBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ with $Sm_2BaCuO_5$ phase, and a mixture with c-axis oriented orthorhombic $SmBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ and anomalously long-c tetragonal $SmBa_2Cu_3O_x$. Raman scattering spectroscopy equipped with polarization analysis elucidates the crystal orientation and the origin of the growth of the materials. It indicates that the technique can be used for quality control of conductor manufacturing processes as well as for enhancement of the materials properties.

We investigated the interaction between polyynes (linear carbon chains) and various metal nanoparticles (Ag, Au, and Cu) to provide insight into the optical properties of metal-polyynes systems prepared by different experimental techniques. Polyynes were produced by laser ablation in deionized water, metal nanoparticles solutions, and copper chloride solution. Metal nanoparticles complexes with polyynes were analyzed by Raman, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and UV-vis spectroscopy.

PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 방법을 이용하여 비정질 고 상 탄소 박막의 하나인 유사 다이아몬드(Diamond-Like-Carbon; DLC) 박막을 증착하였다. FT-IR Spectroscopy와 Raman Scattering 등을 통해 박막의 구조적 특징을 조사하였는데, 박막은 microcrystalline diamond domain과 graphitelike carbon domain들이 수소화된 $sp^3$사 면체 구조의 비정질 탄소에 의해 그물 구조로 연결되어진 것으로 보인다. 이러한 추정은 I-V 특성 조사의 결과와도 좋은 일치를 보이는데, 특히 I-V조사에서는 전류의 갑작스러운 증가가 관측되어졌으며 이것은 graphitelike carbon domin들간의 전자 tunneling 현상으로 이해되어진다. 그리고 대단히 얇은 탄소 박막에 대한 Raman산란 조사에서는 증착 초기 상 태에 $\beta$-SiC층이 형성되어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study examined the performance of two spectroscopy methods and multivariate classification methods to discriminate viable pepper seeds from their non-viable counterparts. Methods: A classification model for viable seeds was developed using partial least square discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) with Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) and Raman spectroscopic data in the range of $9080-4150cm^{-1}$ (1400-2400 nm) and $1800-970cm^{-1}$, respectively. The datasets were divided into 70% to calibration and 30% to validation. To reduce noise from the spectra and compare the classification results, preprocessing methods, such as mean, maximum, and range normalization, multivariate scattering correction, standard normal variate, and $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ derivatives with the Savitzky-Golay algorithm were used. Results: The classification accuracies for calibration using FT-NIR and Raman spectroscopy were both 99% with first derivative, whereas the validation accuracies were 90.5% with both multivariate scattering correction and standard normal variate, and 96.4% with the raw data (non-preprocessed data). Conclusions: These results indicate that FT-NIR and Raman spectroscopy are valuable tools for a feasible classification and evaluation of viable pepper seeds by providing useful information based on PLS-DA and the threshold value.

InAs nanowires were synthesized by a vapor-liquid-solid method with InAs powder. The composition and crystalline structure of nanowires were confirmed by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), respectively. The thermal conduction of nanowires was investigated by the optical method using Raman spectroscopy: i.e., the local temperature on nanowire was determined by laser heating. As temperature increased, the Raman peaks are shifted to low frequency and broadened. The temperature dependent Raman scattering experiments was realized on InAs nanowires with different percentages of zinc-blende and wurtzite structure. The temperature dependence on the nanowire structure has been successfully obtained: the phonon scattering was more increased in InAs heretostructure nanowires, compared to the InAs nanowires with homostructure. The result strongly suggests that the thermal conduction can be effectively controlled by ordered interface without any decrease in electrical conduction.

높은 에너지의 레이저가 조사되면 레이저 삭마 현상을 일으키고, 결과적으로 플라즈마가 물질에 따라 특정한 파장의 빛을 방출하는 레이저 유도 파괴 분광법(LIBS, Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy)과 빛은 산란 현상에 대해 분자 간 혹은 분자 내의 회전 및 진동 운동을 측정하는 라만 분광법은 높은 정확도와 실시간 분석이 가능하다는 점, 원거리 검출이 가능하다는 장점들을 기반으로 우주 탐사 기술로써 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 레이저 분광법을 활용하여 토양 성분의 변화에 따른 레이저 스펙트럼의 경향성을 파악하고, 이를 기반으로 2차원 화학적 분포도 실험을 진행하였다. 또한 화성(4-7 torr)과 달의 대기(<1 torr) 환경을 레이저 실험 환경 내에 구축하여 인공적인 우주 환경에서 LIBS와 라만 분광법을 활용하여 토양 성분의 변화에 따른 LIBS와 라만 분광법을 통한 계측이 가능함을 증명하였다.

We carried out the tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) with a tip that is functionalized with a Aunanoparticle (AuNP, with a diameter of 250 nm). The AuNP tip is fabricated by a direct mechanical pickup of a AuNP from a flat substrate, and the TERS signal from the AuNP tip - organic monolayer - Au thin film (thickness of 10 nm) is recorded. We find that such a AuNP-tip interacting with a thin film routinely yields signal enhancement larger than ${\sim}10^4$, which is sufficient not only for local (with detection area of ~200 $nm^2$) Raman spectroscopy, but also the nanometric imaging of organic monolayers within a reasonable acquisition time (~20 minutes/image).
