IR and Raman spectra
IR and Raman spectra D 6530Raman Spectroscopy of Rhombohedral P 4 O 10 . -The complete room-temperature Raman spectrum of rhombohedral P 4 O 10 is measured for the first time. Two new E modes, previously unobserved, are uncovered. In addition, factor group analysis for the internal vibrational modes in the reduced C3v site symmetry results in the assignement of three new E modes corresponding to the T1 modes of the isolated Td molecule. -(GILLIAM, S.

Resolution targets composed of thick poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) lines on silicon substrates have been fabricated using the method of micromolding in capillaries (MiMIC). Patterns of three parallel lines with equal width and spacing have been prepared, with widths between 5 and 25 microm. Raman chemical images of the PEG-on-silicon devices as well as the metal-on-glass masks used to prepare the devices were measured. The Raman images were used to determine the impulse response of the instrument by comparing the measured images to model functions prepared by convolution of a test impulse function with the object functions of the devices. Impulse widths for PEG-on-silicon targets were approximately two times greater than impulse widths for metal-on-glass targets. The results provide a quantitative measure of the influence of light-matter interactions on the spatial resolution achievable with chemical imaging instruments. This work shows that microfluidic channels can be used to produce robust patterns of PEG on silicon, and these patterns are realistic resolution targets for spectroscopic chemical imaging of pharmaceutical materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
