We implement a near-infrared (NIR) version of compressive Raman imaging that incorporates a digital micromirror device (DMD) and a single-pixel detector for fast chemometric analysis and microscopic imaging. The NIR compressive Raman system is successfully used to detect and image active pharmaceutical ingredients exhibiting polymorphism within compact pharmaceutical tablets. We report the chemical imaging of a mixture of two clopidogrel polymorphs and three excipients in solid tablets with a pixel dwell time of 2.5 ms (0.5 ms per species). These results open the road to fast pharmaceutical tablet quality control imaging using compressive Raman technology.

The structural stability of the energetic material 2,2',4,4',6,6'-hexanitrostilbene (-HNS) under high pressure is critical for optimizing its detonation performance and low sensitivity. However, its structural response to external pressure has not been sufficiently investigated. In this study, high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction data of -HNS demonstrate that the sample exhibits pronounced anisotropic strain, demonstrating an unusual negative linear compressibility (NLC) along the axis, with a coefficient of -4.

Acoustical properties are essential for understanding the molecular interactions in fluids, as they influence the physicochemical behavior of liquids and determine their suitability for diverse applications. This study investigated the acoustical parameters of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and Ag/rGO nanocomposite nanofluids at varying concentrations. Ag NPs and Ag/rGO nanocomposites were synthesized via a Bos taurus indicus (BTI) metabolic waste-assisted method and characterized using advanced techniques, including XRD, TEM, Raman, DLS, zeta potential, and XPS.

Magnesium and calcium carbonate minerals are significant reservoirs of Earth's carbon and understanding their behavior under different conditions is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms of deep carbon storage. Huntite, MgCa(CO), is one of the two stable calcium magnesium carbonate phases, together with dolomite. The distinctive cation coordination environment of Ca atoms compared to calcite-type and dolomite structures makes huntite a comparatively less dense phase.

Sodium borohydride dihydrate (NaBH·2HO) forms through dihydrogen bonding between the hydridic hydrogen of the BH ion and the protonic hydrogen of the water molecule. High-pressure structural changes in NaBH·2HO, observed up to 11 GPa through X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering spectroscopy, were analyzed to assess the influence of dihydrogen bonds on its crystal structure. At approximately 4.

Controlling vibrational modes and energy gap by creating van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures through strain engineering is a novel approach to tailor the vibrational and electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Numerous theoretical and experimental studies have significantly contributed to analysing the properties of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), known for their multifunctional applications. In this study, we investigate the strain and stacking dependent vibrational properties of WSe2/MoSe2 and MoSe2/WSe2/MoSe2 vdW heterostructures using first-principles based density functional theory calculations.
