In order to analyze space resources, it had to be brought to earth. However, using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS) and Raman spectroscopy, it is possible to analyze qualitative and quantitative analysis of space minerals in real time. LIBS is a spectroscopic method in which a high energy laser is concentrated on a material surface to generate a plasma, and the emitted light is acquired through a spectroscope to analyze the atomic composition. Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic method that analyzes the molecular structure by measuring scattered light. These two spectroscopic methods are complementary spectroscopic methods for analyzing the atoms and molecules of unknown minerals and have an advantage as space payloads. In this study, data were analyzed qualitatively by using principal component analysis(PCA). In addition, a mixture of two minerals was prepared and a quantitative analysis was performed to predict the concentration of the material.

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) which a plasma is irradiated at a specific wavelength depending on the material when a high-energy laser is irradiated, and a Raman spectroscopy which measures rotation and vibration in molecules as light-scattering phenomenon occurs, are attracting attention as a space exploration technology because of the advantages of high accuracy and real-time analysis, and the ability to perform long-range detection. In this study, the tendency of the laser spectrum according to the change of the soil component was analyzed by laser spectroscopy and the two - dimensional chemical distribution was conducted based on the trend of laser spectrum. We have also established the environment of Mars (4-7 torr) and lunar atmosphere (<1 torr) in experimental setup, to prove that it is possible to measure by difference of soil chemical composition using LIBS and Raman spectroscopy even in artificial space environment.

라만(Raman) 분광법은 실리콘의 결정화도를 분석하는데 가장 유용하게 쓰이는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 상압 플라즈마 화학기상증착법 (atmospheric pressure plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, AP-PECVD)에 의해 형성된 실리콘 박막의 결정화도를 라만 분광법에 의해 분석하였다. 라만 분석 시, 조사하는 레이져의 파장에 따라서 실리콘 박막 내로의 침투깊이가 결정된다. 또한 레이져의 파워가 임계점을 넘게 되면, 레이져에 의한 실리콘의 결정화가 진행되는 것을 확인하였다.

원자력 발전소의 설계 수명이 늘어나고 기존의 가동 원전 또한 장기 운전을 목표로함에 따라, 원자로 압력용기, 가압기, 증기발생기, 배관 등의 주요 구조재료의 장기 열화에 따른 재료 건전성을 유지하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 특히, 응력부식균열 현상은 장기 열화에 의해 일어날수 있는 구조재료에서의 심각한 취화 문제들중의 하나로써, 이 현상을 예방하거나 지연시키기 위해서는 현상의 근본원인과 작동기구를 규명하는 것은 원전의 안전성 유지를 위해 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해서 구조재료 표면의 원전 운전 조건에서의 산화막 특성과 그 형성 거동을 분석하는 것은 매우 중요하게 되는데, 원전 운전 조건은 고온고압의 수화학 환경으로 일반 환경에서 사용가능한 다양한 분석 방법들을 적용하기에 많은 제약을 받게 된다. 그러나, 라만 분광법은 가동 원전의 운전 조건인 고온/고압수 환경 하에서도 실시간으로 산화막 분석이 가능한 기법으로, 본 논문에서는 지금까지의 라만 분광법을 이용하여 고온고압수 환경에서의 주요 구조용 금속 및 합금 표면에 생성된 산화막에 대한 분석 연구 결과에 대하여 소개하고, 앞으로 이를 이용한 구조재료의 열화 현상을 분석 및 열화기구 규명을 위한 연구개발 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

Raman microspectroscopy is a promising tool for microbial analysis at single cell level since it can rapidly measure the cell materials including lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins by measuring the inelastic scattering of a molecule irradiated by monochromatic lights. Using Raman spectra provides high specificity and sensitivity in classification of bacteria at the strain level. In addition, a Raman approach coupled with stabled isotope such as $^{13}C$ and $^2H$ is able to detect and quantify general metabolic activity at single cell level. After bacterial detection process by Raman microspectroscopy, interested unculturable cell sorting and single cell genomics can be accomplished by combination with optical tweezer and microfluidic devices. In this review, the characteristics and applications of Raman microspectroscopy were reviewed and summarized in order to provide a better understanding of microbial analysis using Raman spectroscopy.

In this study, investigated the possibility of quantitatively and qualitatively analyzing Korean ancient glasses via Raman Spectroscopy. We subjected four categories of Korean traditional glasses, namely, lead-BaO, lead, potash, and soda glasses (3, 3, 10, and 10 pieces, respectively), to this analytical technique. The results showed significant differences between the stretching and bending Raman vibration regions corresponding to these different Korean ancient glass types. Specifically, the stretching vibration regions corresponding to lead-BaO and lead glasses showed peaks at 1040 and 1000 cm^-1, respectively; the stretching vibration region of normal glass appears at 1100 cm^-1. The bending vibration regions corresponding to potash and soda glass showed Raman peaks at 490 and 560 cm^-1, respectively. Furthermore, the Raman spectra of the lead and lead-BaO glasses showed red shifts, which depended on the amount of PbO present. Thus, our findings highlighted the possibility of quantitatively determining the amount of PbO, a major component of lead glasses, via Raman Spectroscopy.

기저면에 구조적 결함을 도입함으로써 그래핀과 $MoS_2$와 같은 이차원 결정의 물리, 화학, 전기 및 기계적 성질을 제어하려는 연구가 폭넓게 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 속의 산소 래디컬을 이용하여 기계적 박리법으로 만들어진 단일층 그래핀과 $MoS_2$ 표면에 구조적 결함을 유도하고 제어하는 방법을 개발하였다. 라만 및 광발광 분광법을 통해 생성된 결함 밀도를 측정하고 전하 밀도 등의 화학적 변화를 추적하였다. 그래핀의 경우 산소 플라즈마 처리 시간에 따라 결함(defect)의 정도를 보여주는 라만 D-봉우리의 높이와 넓이가 커짐을 확인하였고 이를 G-봉우리의 높이와 비교하여 정량하였다. $MoS_2$의 경우 $E{^1}_{2g}$와 $A_{1g}$-봉우리의 높이가 점점 감소하고 광발광의 세기 또한 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 기판의 편평도가 결함 생성 속도에 미치는 영향을 비교 및 분석하여 반응 메커니즘을 제시하고자 한다.

Chemometrics using near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy have found significant uses in a variety quantitative and qualitative analyses of pharmaceutical products in complex matrixes. Most of the pharmaceutical can be measured directly with little or no sample preparation using these spectroscopic methods. During pharmaceutical manufacturing process, analytical techniques with no or less sample preparation are very critical to confirm the quality. This study showed NIR and Raman spectroscopy with principal component analysis (PCA) was very effective for the blending processing control. It is of utmost importance to evaluate critical parameters related to quality of products during pharmaceutical processing. The blending is confirmed by off-line determination of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) by a conventional method such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV spectroscopy. These analytical methods are time-consuming and ineffective for real time control. This study showed the possibility for the determination of blend uniformity end-point of CR tablets with the use of both NIR and Raman spectroscopy. The samples were acquired from six positions during blending processing with U-type blender from 0 to 30 min. Using both collected NIR and Raman spectral data, principal component analysis (PCA) was used to follow the uniformity of blending and finally determine the end-point. The variation of homogeneity of six samples during blending was clearly found and blend uniformity end-point was successfully confirmed in the domains of principal component (PC) scores.

Raman spectroscopy is an optical technique that can identify molecules in a label-free manner, and is therefore heavily investigated in various areas ranging from biomedical engineering to materials science. Probe-based Raman spectroscopy can perform minimally invasive chemical analysis, and thus has potential as a real-time diagnostic tool during surgery. In this study, Raman experimentation was calibrated by examining the Raman shifts with respect to the concentrations of chemical substances. Raman signal characteristics, targeted for normal mice and cerebral tissues of the 5xFAD dementia mutant model with accumulated amyloid beta plaques, were measured and analyzed to explore the possibility of diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. The application to the diagnosis of dementia was cross-validated by measuring Raman signals of amyloid beta. The results suggest the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a diagnostic tool that may be useful in various areas of application.
