FLNR CAP Scientific Seminar

On Friday, 3 June 2016 at 3.00 pm, in the FLNR Conference Hall a seminar “Deep and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for use in industry and medicine” will be held.

Speaker: V.I.Kukushkin (ISSP RAS, “EnSpectr” Co Ltd, Chernogolovka, Moscow region)

Abstract:

Deep Raman spectroscopy during a few seconds allows to record the spectre of the subject under study, determine the position and relative intensities of Raman lines – a kind on “finger prints” of the substance under study, to search and compare these “finger prints” in spectre database.

Studied subjects need no pretreatment for express analysis. But low probability of Raman scattering makes it difficult to identify unknown substances in low concentrations. For this reason the nanostructured surfaces are being developed and constantly improved to locate the electromagnetic fields in the presurface zone and to get giant surface-enhanced Raman scattering of trace amounts of molecules.

Deep and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is already used in biological and medical diagnostics, pharmacy, polymer and chemical processes, environment study, legal expertise, gemology, geology, mineralogy, archeology, agriculture and food industry, semiconductor and power industries.
