Thermal behavior of materials in laser-assisted extreme manufacturing: Raman-based novel characterization

Abstract

Laser-assisted manufacturing (LAM) is a technique that performs machining of materials using a laser heating process. During the process, temperatures can rise above over 2000 °C. As a result, it is crucial to explore the thermal behavior of materials under such high temperatures to understand the physics behind LAM and provide feedback for manufacturing optimization. Raman spectroscopy, which is widely used for structure characterization, can provide a novel way to measure temperature during LAM. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of Raman-based temperature probing, its calibration, and sources of uncertainty/error, and how to control them. We critically review the Raman-based temperature measurement considering the spatial resolution under near-field optical heating and surface structure-induced asymmetries. As another critical aspect of Raman-based temperature measurement, temporal resolution is also reviewed to cover various ways of realizing ultrafast thermal probing. We conclude with a detailed outlook on Raman-based temperature probing in LAM and issues that need special attention.

Laser-Assisted Synthesis of Monolayer 2D MoSe2 Crystals with Tunable Vacancy Concentrations: Implications for Gas and Biosensing

“…There are various methods to study defects in monolayer TMDC materials, including Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. , Among these methods, Raman spectroscopy is a simple yet delicate noninvasive method for identifying materials’ defects. The quantifiable information of the defect form, concentration, and distribution can be gained from much larger areas of samples using Raman spectroscopy .…”

Experimental Investigation on the Bioprotective Role of Trehalose on Glutamine Solutions by Infrared Spectroscopy

“…The stabilization of biostructures against thermal treatment is referred to as its thermal or structural stability. Spectroscopic techniques [34][35][36][37] have been used to measure the effect of several additives on the thermal stability of biostructures including sugars. Thermal stabilization is important in industries where thermostable enzymes are produced with advantages of longer enzyme shelf life and lowered risk of microbial contamination.…”

Picosecond-Resolved Raman Response of a Si Nanotip for Probing Temperature and Thermal Stress in the Confined Regime under Laser Heating

“…Raman thermometry, as a powerful technique, is widely used in determining the local temperature of the material at the nanoscale. , As a noncontact and nondestructive method, it provides an alternative for fragile or small-sized material detection, which has been reported in many studies in thermal measurement. Xu et al demonstrated an approach to probe the temperature rise of the multiwalled carbon nanotubes placed on Au nanoparticles using Raman thermometry.…”
