AbstractCrystalline diamond coatings and, increasingly, diamond like amorphous carbon (DLC) films are used for tribological and protective layers for their hardness and chemical inertness. They are also under investigation for their electron emitting properties, with possible applications in field emission displays. DLC films were deposited by laser ablation using a KrF excimer laser and fluences between 0.5 and 2 J/cm2. FTIR measurements did not show the presence of hydrogen in the films. Raman spectra allowed for the determination of the nature of the graphitic and diamond bonds (sp2 and sp3) as well as information about the disorder and short range order in the films. For a better determination of the sp3-content, which is often hidden in the Raman spectra, a correlation with optical properties in the near IR to near UV region was established. These values depended strongly on the substrate temperature and the laser fluence. DLC formation could be demonstrated even at substrate temperatures close to room temperature. Vickers hardness values and first measurements on the electron emissivity of the films can be correlated to the diamond character and the preparation method of the films.

The Difference

Gender determination of the human remains can be very challenging, especially in the case of incomplete ones. Herein, we report a proof-of-concept experiment where the possibility of gender recognition using Raman spectroscopy of teeth is investigated. Raman spectra were recorded from male and female molars and premolars on two distinct sites, tooth apex and anatomical neck. Recorded spectra were sorted into suitable datasets and initially analyzed with principal component analysis, which showed a distinction between spectra of male and female teeth. Then, reduced datasets with scores of the first 20 principal components were formed and two classification algorithms, support vector machine and artificial neural networks, were applied to form classification models for gender recognition. The obtained results showed that gender recognition with Raman spectra of teeth is possible but strongly depends both on the tooth type and spectrum recording site. The difference in classification accuracy between different tooth types and recording sites are discussed in terms of the molecular structure difference caused by the influence of masticatory loading or gender-dependent life events.

Strong Candidate

AbstractDiamond-like carbon is a strong candidate for field emission microcathodes for field emission displays because of its low electron affinity and chemical inertness. The field emission properties of various types of diamond-like carbon such as a-C:H and ta-C are reviewed in the framework of a bonding model of their affinity.

The concentrations of NaCl in aqueous solutions have been determined with the use of near-IR spectra between 1100 and 1900 nm. Models expressing the concentration of NaCl are developed with linear and nonlinear regression with the use of the absorbances at selected wavelengths and with principal component regression (PCR) using entire spectra. Temperature perturbations on water bands interfere with the measurement of NaCl but can be removed by linear or nonlinear regressions using the absorbances at the wavelengths where the temperature effects are zero, or they can be accounted for by PCR. Standard errors of 5 mM and a detection limit of IS mM are obtained for NaCl. This technique can be applied for quantitative analysis of NaCl in the laboratory or can be readily adapted for continuous monitoring in process control.

An UV-VIS-Near-IR spectroscopic method for determination of optical loss in organic/polymeric films has been suggested. The optical losses of two polyimide polymers with push-pull azobenzene chromophore attached were examined by this method and the data were calibrated by conventional optical method.
