What are these Raman peaks near 2000 1/cm from gold nanostars?

29 January 2020 1 6K Report

I am measuring Raman scattering of dried sodium citrate capped gold nanostars and observed strong peaks around 2000 1/cm and 2150 1/cm and can not identify them. These samples were mixed with 0.8% by volume 2-propanol.

It seems there is an isocyanide compound!

Have you used such a compound in the synthesis step?

Hello researchers Is this a random laser or just fluorescence?

I am using Rhodamine6G as gain medium and silver nanoparticles as scatterers on a microscope slide and laser input 532 nm comes from above.

Why do some of my Raman spectra show no signal at lower Raman shifts?

I'm using a InVia Renishaw Raman microscope system (785nm wavelength, 600l/mm grating density) to acquire Raman images on human brain samples, at 50um resolution. The samples are placed on MgF2...

I have synthesized a composite of ZnO and In2O3 with variations in ZnO content. In Raman , what is the peak observed at 130 cm-1?

Dear all, I have noticed, as the ZnO content increases, the Raman intensity at 100cm-1 also increases. However, there is a peak nearby at 130 cm-1, which I could not find in any paper related to...

Comparing Liposome Size: DLS Measurement vs. SEM Observation with Air Drying ?

I have an issue with SEM imaging of liposomes. When measured by DLS, they appear to be around 120 nm, but when using SEM with simple air drying, they appear much larger, around one micrometer.
