The goal of this work was the phase analysis of corrosion layers on zirconium alloys. In the environment of nuclear reactors, zirconium alloys are covered with a protective layer of zirconium oxide, which occurs in two crystalline modifications - monoclinic and tetragonal. The distribution of these phases in the corrosion layer can affect the overall corrosion rate. Raman spectroscopy was used to determine the composition of the corrosion layers. The use of this method is advantageous because the monoclinic and tetragonal phases can be easily distinguished in the spectra of the corrosion layers. In total, samples of two alloys were measured. The samples were pre-exposed at 360 °C in Li+ containing water (70 mg/l Li as LiOH) . Exposure times were between 21 d and 231 d, so the series contained both pre- and post- transition samples. The relative proportion of the tetragonal phase decreases significantly after the transient. It has also been found that the corrosion layers are highly heterogeneous in terms of the distribution of crystalline modifications.

Recently there has been upsurge in reports that illicit seizures of cocaine and heroin have been adulterated with fentanyl. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) provides a useful alternative to current screening procedures that permits detection of trace levels of fentanyl in mixtures. Samples are solubilized and allowed to interact with aggregated colloidal nanostars to produce a rapid and sensitive assay. In this study, we present the quantitative determination of fentanyl in heroin and cocaine using SERS, using a point-and-shoot handheld Raman system. Our protocol is optimized to detect pure fentanyl down to 0.20 ± 0.06 ng/mL and can also distinguish pure cocaine and heroin at ng/mL levels. Multiplex analysis of mixtures is enabled by combining SERS detection with principal component analysis and super partial least squares regression discriminate analysis (SPLS-DA), which allow for the determination of fentanyl as low as 0.05% in simulated seized heroin and 0.10% in simulated seized cocaine samples.
