    Nitrogen is an essential nutrient element sustaining all life forms. Environmental microorganisms play an important role in biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen. However, because a large majority of environmental microorganisms are uncultured, our knowledge on them is very limited. Here, by combining surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with 15N stable isotope probing, obvious 15N-induced band shifts in SERS spectra of bacteria were identified. Bands shifted linearly with 15N percentage in media, providing a way to study extent of nitrogen assimilation or activity of bacteria. The selective enhancement of SERS on N-related biomolecules accounted for the presence of indicator bands. Finally, SERS band shift induced by 15N, 13C and deuterium were compared and the results indicated that 15N induced a larger shift than deuterium. The reason is related to the position of N and H in the ring structure of adenine.

    This work put forward a fast, effective and SERS-based volatiles screening method for identification and classification of 17 Allium species. Nano-silver colloid was used as substrate to detect volatiles Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of different parts of the same species. Results showed that peaks positions of their SERS spectra were essentially the same, only the relative intensity of some individual peaks changed; the repeatability of silver colloid produced in different years was very well. Then, volatiles SERS spectra of 17 Allium species were detected, their SERS spectra can be divided into three groups: 1-Propanethiol enhanced group, Diallyl disulfide enhanced group and Allyl methyl sulfide enhanced group. The multivariate statistical analysis was performed on the volatiles SERS spectra of 17 Allium species and results confirmed that the 17 species were divided into the same three groups as mentioned above. All above results conclude that SERS-based method of screening volatiles can provide new reference information for discriminating Allium.

    In this work, the Raman of individual furfural molecule and SERS of furfural-Mx (M=Ag, Au, Cu) complexes are investigated through density functional theory (DFT). In Raman spectrum of individual furfural molecule, the vibration mode of each Raman peaks is figured out and the deviation to experimental data is analyzed by surface charge distribution. In SERS of furfural-Mx complexes, the influence of atom number and species on SERS chemical enhancement factors (EFs) have been studied, which is further analyzed by charge transfer effect. Our studies strengthen the understanding of charge transfer effect in SERS of furfural molecule.

    In this paper, the synthesis conditions of α, β and γ phases of Na2TiO3 crystal were designed. Three crystal of different phases of Na2TiO3 were prepared successfully by solid-state reactions. Room temperature Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of these crystalline samples were then recorded. The assignment of the major Raman-active vibrational modes of γ-Na2TiO3 in high-frequency region was made on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculation. In-situ high temperature both Raman spectroscopy and XRD method have been adopted to investigate temperature dependent phase transition and micro-structural evolution of the disordered metastable crystalline α-Na2TiO3. This work can offer experimental basis for the structural evolution and crystal phase identification of various crystals of Na2TiO3.

    Fingerprint carries human special information, which is one of the most important individual characteristics. The technology of fast and clear fingerprint recognition and extraction is of great significance to criminal detectives, public safety and other fields. Metal nanoparticles have strong scattering effect in the dark field of light, and this paper studies the fingerprint imaging using the scattering characteristics. Under the dark field imaging system, with the combination of fingerprint and metal nanoparticles, the scattering properties of metal nanoparticles show fingerprint minutiae. This characteristic provides a new strategy for fingerprint extraction. This method can realize fast and simple fingerprint information extraction and avoid the destruction of fingerprint details by the chemical method.

    The quantitative detection of glucose in urine with high sensitivity and specificity is of great significance in clinical diagnosis. This work utilized 4-Cyanophenylboronic acid (4-CPBA) as a secondary carbohydrate probe in a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) -based urine glucose quantification assay. This assay protocol does not require the conjugation of the probe to the SERS substrate. Furthermore, the characteristic Raman peak of cyano group at 2226 cm-1 was located in the biological silent region (1800-2200 cm-1), thus avoiding interference by other endogenous biological molecules. This method allows high selectivity of glucose over other carbohydrate such as fructose and galactose. This method has been successfully applied for specific detection of urine glucose,with the detection limit down to 10 nM. Furthermore, the glucose content in urine from patients with mild diabetes was successfully detected. The experimental results show that this method offers a highly specific and sensitive way for the determination of glucose in urine,as a potential powerful tool for subsequent quantitative analysis.

    In order to detect characteristics of ice cloud and mixed phase cloud and further understand the process of cloud physics, a cloud particle detector with polarization channel which can simultaneously detect the depolarization ratio of backscattering and the scattering energies of forward scattering is presented in a fixed solid angle. The phase function, depolarization ratio of different angles, total scattering cross section of the ellipsoid, cylindrical and spherical particles has been simulated. We found that spherical particles have almost no depolarization, and the depolarization ratios of ellipsoid, cylindrical particles are several magnitude larger, so the spherical particles can be distinguished from nonspherical particles by depolarization ratios. The mean depolarization ratio and particle scattering cross section of nonspherical particle at the two receiving solid angles has been caculated, depolarization ratio and particle scattering cross section varies with aspect ratio smoothly, which makes the distinguishment between particles with different aspect ratio more directly. Particle depolarization ratio changes with the equivalent radius of the particle fluctuately, which goes against the detection. The equivalent particle radii and the scattering cross section are generally in positive correlation, so the particle size can be detected by their scattering cross sections. The simulation results shows that the detection system has the ability to detect nonspherical particles in addition to the ability for spherical particles detection.

    X-ray diffraction experiment has been performed on powder Y2O3 at room temperature. The apparent diffuse scattering intensity of the vibration shape is observed. Based on the general equation of the background intensity of full diffraction, the thermal diffuse scattering intensity equation of Y2O3 is developed. According to the comparison between the experimental value and the theoretical value, the value of the inter-atomic thermal vibration correlation effects μ was obtained. It is observed that the thermal diffuse scattering intensity of Y2O3 mainly comes from the independent vibration of atoms; the shape of thermal diffuse scattering is mainly determined by the thermal vibration correlation effect between Sixth neighboring atoms. The force constants among neighboring atoms in Y2O3 are obtained from the values of inter-atomic thermal vibration correlation effects.
