Graphene oxide (GO) is an oxidized nanosheets of graphite with a 2D planar structure. GO could be readily complexed with bio-entities as it possesses many oxygen-containing functionalities on its surface. The preparation process is fast, easy, and cost-effective. It was prepared using modified Hummers’ method in acidic solution as a primary solvent and potassium permanganate as an oxidizing agent. Afterwards, it was successfully characterized by FTIR, UV-visible spectroscopy, as well as XRD and Raman spectroscopy, and finally, SEM analysis. It was observed that the formed GO is mainly composed of carbon and oxygen elements rich in oxygen functional groups. Furthermore, the existence of (001) plane in XRD interprets the complete oxidation of graphite with d-spacing 9 Å. Moreover, Raman spectroscopy displayed the sp3 carbon hybridization, besides, the ID/IG ratio is found to be 0.84, which confirms the disorder between graphene oxide layers. The SEM images also pointed out that graphene oxide sheets were regularly stacked together as flake-like structures. Accordingly, the richness of oxygen-containing functionalities was confirmed. Hence, it is appropriate to be used as a base transducer for biosensing applications.

Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning to optimize the photocatalytic action efficiency. The synthesis of the fibers was carried out at four different wt% concentrations: 8, 9, 10 & 11% of polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The TiO2 fibers were further calcined at 700 °C to get powder form. The uncalcinated and calcined TiO2 nanofibers were characterized by using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the rutile phase of the calcined TiO2nanofibers in powder form with a crystallite size of 34–38 nm. The surface morphology of the uncalcinated and calcined TiO2 nanofibers was examined by SEM and the fiber diameter found to be 360–540 nm. The optical bandgap of the calcined TiO2 nanofibers was found in the range of 3.29–3.24 eV. The photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 nanofibers as examined for uncalcinated and calcined nanofibers, methyl orange (MO) dye degraded up to 98 and 78%, respectively in 180 min under the exposure of UV light. Uncalcinated TiO2 nanofibers were found more suitable for degradation of MO dye as compared to calcined nanofibers.

Aluminum (0.5 at.%)-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition technique (PLD) in oxygen ambient of 10[Formula: see text] Torr. The deposited thin films were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), Raman spectroscopy and uv–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis). Next, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by Hummers method and was characterized by XRD, UV–vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thereafter, GO solution was drop-casted on AZO thin films. These films were then characterized by Raman Spectroscopy, UV–vis spectroscopy and PL. Attempt is being made to comprehend the modifications in properties brought about by integration.

The binding of amsacrine [4′-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulfon- m-anisidide] to calf thymus DNA was studied by UV-visible and resonance Raman spectroscopy. A shift of the UV-visible absorption band of amsacrine at 434 to 442 nm together with a decrease in the intensity of this band is observed upon amsacrine-DNA binding. The resonance Raman spectrum of DNA-bound amsacrine shows a general slight decrease in intensity relative to the spectrum of the free species. The significant decrease in intensity of the bands at 1165, 1265, and 1380 cm−1 upon binding to DNA is attributed to the formation of a single amsacrine-DNA species. The assignment of these bands (1165, 1265, and 1380 cm−1), which was based upon a previous normal coordinate analysis (NCA) and molecular neglect of diatomic overlap (MNDO) calculation, and the observed lack of shift in the band positions upon binding are consistent with intercalation being the major binding mode of amsacrine, as inferred previously by other techniques.

Sol-gel tequnique was used to prepare disordered tungsten oxide and molybdenum oxide sols. A series ratio of W:Mo compound sols were obtained via mettalic powder co-peroxided by H2O2 as precursors in ethonal. Compound films were achieved by dip-coating method. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy were taken to characterize the structure of these compound films. Uv-visible Spectroscopy was used to test the gasochromic property. The results showed that the gasochromics property was much different from that of pure tungsten oxide and molybdenum oxide sol-gel thin films. The effect was origined from the structrue alteration, which was not due to the spectrum superposition but the co-reaction of W and Mo.
