The lattice dynamics of La(1/2)Na(1/2)TiO(3) single crystal have been investigated by far-infrared and Raman scattering spectroscopy. Far-IR reflectivity spectra revealed Slater, Last and Axe modes near 140, 190 and 555 cm(-1), respectively. The frequency of the Slater mode decreases by about 10% on cooling, which is enough to account for the observed increase of the low-frequency permittivity. The results allowed us to discuss the reasons for the suppressed ferroelectricity of the material. Temperature evolution of the Raman scattering intensity of an oxygen octahedra bending mode near 455 cm(-1) suggests a second-order phase transition towards the perovskite aristotype phase near 870 K.

Background: Permethrin is a pesticide used to kill insects, and once used in excess, it poses a great threat to the environment and human health, therefore, it is necessary to realize the rapid and accurate detection of permethrin. Fiber optic surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes have the advantages of small volume and can be used for remote monitoring, which have great potential for application in achieving in-situ detection of pesticide residues.

Results: Fiber taper waist (FTW) SERS probes modified by silver nanocubes-graphene oxide (Ag NCs-GO) composite structures were prepared for in situ detection of permethrin in lake water.

To date, few systematic approach has been established for predicting catalytic performance by analyzing the spectral information of molecules adsorbed on photocatalyst surfaces. Effective charge transfer (CT) between the semiconductor photocatalysts and surface-absorbed molecules is essential for enhancing catalytic activity and optimizing light energy utilization. This study aimed to validate the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on the CT enhancement mechanism in investigating the CT process during semiconductor photocatalytic C-C coupling model reactions.

Coherent heterodyne lidars are typically used for windspeed and attenuated backscattering measurements. The lack of molecular backscattering detection capability has limited the calibrated backscattering measurements until recent advances in coherent lidar technology. In this work, the simultaneous detection of aerosol and molecular backscattering is demonstrated with coherent heterodyne lidar, and the results are compared with a state-of-the-art Raman lidar PollyXT as a reference in a long-range for the first time.
