Non-aqueous solvation of n-octanol and ethanol: Spectroscopic and computational studies

Article Abstract:

Raman spectroscopy was used to examine the interactions of the free O-H bonds in n-octanol and ethanol with the organic solvents carbon tetrachloride [CCI(sub 4)], cyclohexane, and benzene. These spectra reveal that the solvents CCI(sub 4) and cyclohexane have a small effect on the free O-H peak of alcohols, whereas benzene as a solvent significantly red shifts the free O-H band.

Wavelength-scanned surface-enhanced Raman excitation spectroscopy

Article Abstract:

A detailed wavelength-scanned surface-enhanced Raman excitation spectroscopy (WS SERES) study of benzenethiol adsorbed on Ag nanoparticle arrays, fabricated by nanosphere lithography (NSL), is presented. The WS SERES spectra are correlated, both spatially and spectrally, with the corresponding localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectra of the nanoparticle arrays.

Chromophore orientations in a nonlinear optical azopolmer diffraction grating: Even and odd order parameters from far-field Raman and near-field second harmonic generation microscopies

Article Abstract:

A diffraction grating with a large diffraction efficiency has been inscribed on an azobenzene-containing polymer thin film, electrically poled and characterized using spatially resolved Raman confocal microscopy and near-field scanning optical microscopy. Linear and nonlinear polarized microscopic measurements have been performed on a grating.
