We studied engine-out soot samples collected from a heavy-duty direct-injection diesel engine and a port-fuel injection gasoline spark-ignition engine. The two types of soot samples were characterized using Raman spectroscopy with different laser power. A Matlab program using least-square-method with trust-region-reflective algorithm was developed for curve fitting. We used a DOE (design of experiments) method to avoid local convergence. This method was used for two-band fitting and three-band fitting. The fitting results were used to determine the intensity ratio of D and G Raman bands. We find that high laser power may cause oxidation of soot samples, which gives higher D/G intensity ratio. Diesel soot has consistently higher amorphous/graphitic carbon ratio and thus higher oxidation reactivity, in comparison to gasoline soot, which is revealed by the higher D/G intensity ratio in Raman spectra measured under the same laser power.

Soot is an important material with impacts that depend on particle morphology. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) represents one of the most direct routes to qualitatively assess particle characteristics. However, producing quantitative informati
on requires robust image processing tools, which is complicated by the low image contrast and complex aggregated morphologies characteristic of soot. The current work presents a new convolutional neural network explicitly trained to characterize soot, using pre-classified images of particles from a natural gas engine; a laboratory gas flare; and a marine engine. The results are compared against other existing classifiers before considering the effect that the classifiers have on automated primary particle size methods. Estimates of the overall uncertainties between fully automated approaches of aggregate characterization range from 25% in d_{p,100} to 85% in D_{TEM}. A consistent correlation is observed between projected-area equivalent diameter and primary particle size across all of the techniques.
Low dimensional systems, nanowires, in particular, have exhibited excellent optical and electronic properties. Understanding the thermal properties in semiconductor nanowires is very important for their applications in their electronic devices. In th
e present study, the thermal conductivity of a freestanding silicon nanowire (NW) is estimated employing the Raman spectroscopy. The advantage of this technique is that the light source (laser) can be used both as heating and excitation source. The variations of the first-order Raman peak position of the freestanding silicon NW with respect to temperature and laser power are carried out. A critical analysis of effective laser power absorbed by exposed silicon NW, the detailed Raman study along with the concept of longitudinal heat distribution in silicon NW, the thermal conductivity of the freestanding silicon NW of 112 nm diameter is estimated to be ~53 W/m.K.
Here we design, construct, and characterize a compact Raman-spectroscopy-based sensor that measures the concentration of a water-methanol mixture. The sensor measures the concentration with an accuracy of 0.5% and a precision of 0.2% with a 1 second
measuring time. With longer measurement times, the precision reaches as low as 0.006%. We characterize the long-term stability of the instrument over an 11-day period of constant measurement, and confirm that systematic drifts are on the level of 0.02%. We describe methods to improve the sensor performance, providing a path towards accurate, precise, and reliable concentration measurements in harsh environments. This sensor should be adaptable to other water-alcohol mixtures, or other small-molecule liquid mixtures.
We propose a novel femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) technique that combines entangled photons with interference detection to select matter pathways and enhance the resolution. Following photo excitation by an actinic pump, the measure
ment uses a pair of broadband entangled photons, one (signal) interacts with the molecule together with a third narrowband pulse induces the Raman process. The other (idler) photon provides a reference for the coincidence measurement. This interferometric photon-coincidence counting detection allows to separately measure Raman gain and loss signals, which is not possible with conventional probe transmission detection. Entangled photons further provide a unique temporal and spectral detection window that can better resolve fast excited state dynamics compared to classical and correlated disentangled states of light.
Non-intrusive detection systems have the potential to characterise materials through various transparent glass and plastic containers. Food and drink adulteration is increasingly problematic, representing a serious health risk as well as an economic
issue. This is of particular concern for alcoholic spirits such as Scotch whisky which are often targeted for fraudulent activity. We have developed a Raman system with a novel geometry of excitation and collection, exploiting the beam propagation from an axicon lens resulting in an annular beam that transforms to a Bessel illumination within the sample. This facilitates the efficient acquisition of Raman signals from the alcoholic spirit contained inside the bottle, while avoiding the collection of auto-fluorescence signals generated by the bottle wall. Therefore, this technique provides a way of non-destructive and non-contact detection to precisely analyse the contents without the requirement to open the bottle.
