5 protocols using raman microscope alpha300r

1

Raman Spectroscopy of Graphene Derivatives

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Raman Spectroscopy was performed on a Raman microscope alpha300R (WITec, Ulm, Germany) using a laser excitation wavelength of 532 nm, laser power of 1 mW, a spectral resolution of 6 cm−1, and integration time of 0.5 s. Two hundred scans were accumulated to record each spectrum. For this purpose, GO, PDA-GO, and RGO aqueous suspensions were prepared and sprayed on a glass slide positioned on a heating plate for fast water evaporation and deposition of the graphene products to be analyzed. The ID/IG or ID+PDA/IG+PDA ratios were calculated considering the area under curve of the bands, which were estimated with a mean error of about 10%.

Raman Spectroscopy of Mineral Phases

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Raman spectrum was collected using a confocal Raman microscope alpha 300R made by WITec GmbH (Ulm, Germany) at the IGGCAS. This system is equipped with a solid-state continuous-wave laser emitting at 532 nm, which is fiber coupled to the instrument. A laser power of about ~7 mW was focused on the sample surface (57 ). A piece of single-crystal silicon was used to calibrate the wavenumbers of the shifts. The Raman spectra from 200 to 1,600 cm−1 were taken, and the integrating time was ~4 min. Different mineralogy phases were identified by their diagnostic spectra (SI Appendix, Fig. S1).

Characterization of TiO2-Coated α-Fe2O3 Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The chemical phase of the prepared samples was determined by using a confocal Raman microscope (alpha300 R; WITec) with a 488 nm laser pulse as an excitation source. The surface morphology of the bare and TiO2 coated α-Fe2O3 samples was examined by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) using a Zeiss Supra 60 VP microscope operated at an acceleration voltage of 10 kV. The optical absorption of all the samples was measured with the help of a Cary 5000 spectrophotometer (Varian). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra were acquired in a PerkinElmer Phi 5500 setup (base pressure < 10−10 mbar) using AlKα radiation of 1.4866 keV. The XPS spectra were shifted using the Fe(2p3/2) peak corresponding to 710.9 eV as a reference.

Spectroscopic Characterization of Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An attenuated total reflection (ATR)-FTIR spectroscopy study was performed using the IRAffinity-1S spectrometer (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) with 100 scans at resolution 2 cm−1 from 3900 to 600 cm−1. The GS10800-B (Specac, Orpington, UK) ATR compartment that allows the user to provide a constant clamping force was used. ATR correction was applied to the spectrum using the LabSolutions v.1.50 software (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan).
Raman spectra were obtained with the confocal Raman microscope alpha300R (WITec GmbH, Ulm, Germany). The microscope objective lens of 50× and the excitation line 633 nm of a He-Ne laser give a spatial resolution of ~1.0 μm. Raman maps of some characteristic bands were obtained for an area of 30 × 30 μm2, considering 30 points per line and 30 lines, and 5.0 s of exposition time at each point. Data processing was carried out using the WITec Project FIVE software (version 5.1, WITec GmbH, Ulm, Germany).

Spectroscopic Analysis of o14PEGMA Amidation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FT-IR and confocal Raman spectroscopy were applied to visualize the amidation of o14PEGMA with azido-TEG-amine. FT-IR analysis of samples was performed on a Nicolet iS™ 50-FT-IR with a Smart Performer Sample Unit (Thermo Scientific) equipped with the Omnic Spectra Software 2.2.4.3 provided with the instrument.
Samples of the dry polymer were also investigated using the confocal Raman microscope alpha-300 R (WITec, Ulm, Germany). A single mode laser with a wavelength of 532 nm was applied for excitation. Using a Zeiss EC Epiplan-Neofluar Dic 50x/0.8 microscope objective, the laser power on the samples was set to 20 mW. The Raman microscope was equipped with a WITec UHTS 300 spectrometer and an Andor iDus Deep Depletion CCD camera, which was cooled down to −60 °C. By using a reflection grating with 600 lines/mm, an average spectral resolution of 3.8 cm−1/pixel was achieved. Raman spectra were recorded using an exposure time of 20 s by accumulating 10 × 2 s. For the data interpretation, WITec FIVE 5.3.18.110 software was used. Samples were randomly measured at three positions, spectra were merged, baseline-corrected and -normalized.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
