This document provides an overview of Raman spectroscopy. It discusses the principle behind Raman spectroscopy, which involves scattering of monochromatic light when it interacts with a sample. It describes the typical instrumentation used, including lasers as the light source and spectrometers to analyze the scattered light. The key differences between Raman and IR spectroscopy are outlined. Various types of Raman techniques and applications are also summarized, such as its use in analyzing inorganic, organic and biological samples.
1. Raman spectroscopy involves scattering of monochromatic light, usually from a laser, when it interacts with molecular vibrations. The laser light causes the energy levels of the molecules to be shifted up or down.
2. Rayleigh scattering involves no change in energy, while Stokes scattering involves energy loss and anti-Stokes scattering involves energy gain.
3. Selection rules determine whether a vibration will be Raman active based on changes in the polarizability of the molecule. Raman peaks correspond to vibrations that induce a change in polarizability during molecular vibration.
Resonance Raman spectroscopy is a technique that enhances Raman scattering intensity when the laser excitation wavelength matches an electronic transition in the molecule or material being examined. This resonance effect can increase Raman intensities by several orders of magnitude, allowing detection of low concentration compounds. The enhanced signals are selective for vibrational modes that change during electronic excitation according to Tsuboi's rule. This selectivity enables resonance Raman spectroscopy to identify specific functional groups within large biomolecules like proteins. Applications include analyzing heme groups in hemoglobin and metal-ligand vibrations in metal complexes.
Raman Spectroscopy is a non destructive chemical analysis technique which provides detailed information about chemical structure, crystallinity and molecular interactions. The raman effect involves scattering of light by molecules of gases, liquids, or solids. Raman Spectroscopy is sensitive to homo-nuclear molecular bonds. It is able to distinguish between single, double, and triple bonds between carbon atoms.Raman spectroscopy is the study of matter by the inelastic scattering of monochromatic
light. It has become a ubiquitous tool in modern spectroscopy, biophysics, microscopy, geochemistry, and analytical chemistry. In contrast to typical absorption or emission spectroscopy experiments, transitions among quantum levels of atoms or molecules are induced by the absorption or emission of photons (IR, visible, UV). In a typical Raman experiment, a polarized monochromatic light source (usually a laser) is focused into a sample, and the scattered light at 90 degree
to the laser beam is collected and dispersed by a high-resolution monochromator. The incident laser wavelength (chosen such that
the sample does not absorb, in ordinary Raman Spectroscopy) is fixed, and the scattered light is
dispersed and detected to obtain the frequency spectrum of the scattered light. The scattered light is very weak
(<10-7 of the incident power), so that monochromators with excellent straylight rejection and sensitive detectors are required. In a much rarer event (approximately 1 in 10million photons)Raman scattering occurs, which is an inelastic scattering process with a transfer of energy between the molecule and scattered photon. If the molecule gains energy from the photon during the scattering (excited to a higher
vibrational level) then the scattered photon loses energy and its wavelength increases which is called Stokes Raman scattering . Inversely, if the molecule loses energy by relaxing to alower vibrational level the scattered photon gains thecorresponding energy and its wavelength decreases;
which is called Anti-Stokes Raman scattering. • Quantum mechanically Stokes and Anti-Stokes areequally likely processes. However, with an ensemble of molecules, the majority of molecules will be in the ground vibrational level (Boltzmann distribution) and Stokes scatter is the statistically more probable process. As a result, the Stokes Raman scatter is always more intense than the anti-Stokes and for this
reason, it is nearly always the Stokes Raman scatter that is measured in Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy is used in chemistry to identify molecules and study chemical bonding and intramolecular bonds.In solid-state physics, Raman spectroscopy is used to characterize materials, measure temperature, and find the crystallographic orientation of a sample . In nanotechnology, a Raman microscope can be used to analyze nanowires to better understand their structures, and the radial breathing mode of carbon nanotubes is commonly used to evaluate their diameter.

Field ion microscopy uses a high electric field to ionize gas atoms on the tip of a sample, which are then detected to create an atomic-scale image of the sample surface. Infrared spectroscopy analyzes the absorption of infrared light by molecules to determine their structure. Raman spectroscopy analyzes the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light when it interacts with molecular vibrations, rotations, and other low frequency modes to provide molecular fingerprint information. Both techniques produce spectra that can be used to identify chemicals based on the frequencies of molecular vibrations they produce.

Only certain atomic nuclei experience NMR, depending on whether they have a quantum property called spin. NMR spectroscopy is valuable in chemistry for determining molecular structure. It is commonly used to map the carbon-hydrogen framework of organic molecules. More advanced NMR techniques also study protein structure and dynamics in biological chemistry.
This document provides an introduction to Raman spectroscopy, including:
1. It discusses the history and development of Raman spectroscopy from its origins in the 1930s to its modern applications using lasers.
2. The theory section explains the underlying physics and quantum mechanics of Raman scattering, in which laser light interacts with molecular vibrations to produce unique spectral fingerprints.
3. Different spectroscopic techniques are compared, highlighting how Raman spectroscopy provides sharp spectral peaks like infrared spectroscopy but with easier sampling like near-infrared spectroscopy.
This document provides an overview of magnetic resonance techniques for non-destructive testing, specifically nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It discusses the basic principles of how NMR and MRI work, including using magnetic fields and radio waves to detect atomic nuclei like hydrogen protons. Applications mentioned include material characterization, medical imaging, and purity analysis. The instrumentation for both techniques is also described.
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy, is a spectroscopic technique to observe local magnetic fields around atomic nuclei.
SPECTROSCOPY is defined as the study of the interactions between radiations and matter as function of wavelength λ .
Interactions with particle radiation or a response of a material to an altering field
or varying frequency.
SPECTRUM : A plot of the response as a function of wavelength or more commonly frequency is referred to as spectrum.
SPECTROMETRY : It is measurement of these responses and an instrument which performs such measurements is a spectrophotometer or spectrograph, although
these terms are more limited in use to original field of optics from which the
concept sprang.
Instrumental methods like mass spectrometry, UV-visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction are used to analyze the structure and composition of molecules. Mass spectrometry can detect isotopes and small quantities of substances, while UV-visible and infrared spectroscopy examine how compounds absorb different wavelengths of light or infrared energy. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy detects hydrogen atoms based on their environment and spin, and X-ray diffraction analyzes crystal structures by measuring diffracted X-rays.
Raman spectroscopy is a vibrational spectroscopy technique that is complementary to infrared spectroscopy. It is based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light, such as a laser. The document discusses the basic principles and instrumentation of Raman spectroscopy. It explains how Raman spectroscopy can be used to fingerprint and identify molecular structures and symmetries through their vibrational modes. The document also provides an overview of Raman spectroscopy applications for samples like gases, liquids, and solids with minimal sample preparation needs. It notes that fluorescence from some samples can interfere with Raman signals and discusses techniques to mitigate this effect.
This document discusses various spectral methods used to analyze polymer structure, including infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray spectroscopy. Infrared spectroscopy identifies chemical bonds and structures based on vibrational transitions. Raman spectroscopy detects symmetric vibrational modes and is useful for conformational studies. UV-visible spectroscopy identifies impurities based on electronic transitions. NMR spectroscopy determines proton environments and stereochemistry. X-ray spectroscopy identifies crystalline structure through diffraction patterns. These spectral methods provide information on polymer morphology, structure, and composition.
Raman spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy are similar techniques for analyzing molecular vibrations, but they differ in their operating principles. Raman spectroscopy analyzes the scattering of monochromatic light, such as a laser, while infrared spectroscopy analyzes light absorption. Raman spectroscopy can be used to analyze aqueous solutions because water is a weak Raman scatterer, whereas water strongly absorbs infrared light. Both techniques provide information about molecular structure through vibrational fingerprints, but Raman spectroscopy has advantages for certain applications due to its ability to analyze solutions and its high sensitivity.
This content was presented by me in Sathayabama University, India as an Invited talk in a DBT sponsored training program which covers the generalized about the Raman Scattering technique.
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) provides greatly amplified Raman signals from molecules located near nanostructured metal surfaces, such as gold or silver. It works by taking advantage of localized surface plasmon resonances in these metals that can enhance the electromagnetic field in the vicinity of the surface by many orders of magnitude. This enhanced field can increase the normally weak Raman signals by factors of up to 1011, allowing single-molecule detection. SERS relies on fabricating roughened metal surfaces or colloidal metal nanoparticles that support localized plasmons to produce the enhancement effect.
2. The Basics: Comparison of Raman and IR
Spectroscopy
A vibrational spectroscopy
IR and Raman are the most common vibrational spectroscopies
for assessing molecular motion and fingerprinting species
Raman is based on inelastic scattering of a monochromatic
excitation source
Routine energy range: 200 - 4000 cm–1
Complementary selection rules to IR spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy complements IR spectroscopy because, as
we have seen before, not all vibrations result in an IR
absorbance due to lack of dipole moment
3. The Basics: Comparison of Raman and IR
Spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy is a powerful and non-invasive tool for:
studying molecular vibrations by light scattering
determining chemical species
Instead of examining the wavenumber at which a functional group has a vibrational
mode, Raman observes the shift in vibration of the molecule from an incident light
It complements IR absorption spectroscopy which only results in absorptions if there is a
change in the dipole moment during vibration, symmetric stretches as shown below are
Raman active
A change in dipole moment is required for a vibrational mode to be IR active, only then
can photons of the same energy as the vibrational state interact
4. What does Raman Spectroscopy
Measure?
A change in the polarizability of a bond is required for a vibrational mode to
be Raman active
Symmetric vibrations give rise to intense Raman lines
Raman activity depends on the polarizability of a bond and how easily
electrons can be displaced from the bond, or conversely how tightly they are
held to the nuclei
Distortion of electrons is easier as the bond becomes longer and harder
when it shortens thus polarizability changes with vibration– and this
vibrational mode scatters Raman light
5. What does Raman Spectroscopy
Measure?
In an asymmetric stretch the electrons are more easily polarized in the
bond that expands & less easily in the bond that compresses, thus there is
no overall change in the polarizability of the bond in it is Raman inactive
In general if there is a large number of loosely held electrons the Raman
signal will be strong
Raman spectroscopy is generally more sensitive to the overall geometry
and framework of the molecule rather than specific functional groups
6. Polarizability trend decreases going across a period as the effective
nuclear charge increases as electrons are held closer to nucleus and thus
are not easily deformed
Increases going down a group as atomic radius increases and effective
nuclear charge decreases
Inorganic and organic species can be analyzed
Metals in coordination complexes and their corresponding ligands
generally have many loose electrons and provide strong Raman signals
It can be used to predict structure and stability of these complexes
No two compounds ever give the exact same Raman spectra and the intensity
of scatted light is proportional to the amount of analyte present thus is is both
qualitative and quantitative
7. Principles of Raman Spectroscopy
Radiation or incident light is scattered when it passes
through a source
8. Principles of Raman Spectroscopy
Radiation or incident light is scattered when it passes through a source
When light is scattered an incident photon( E=hn) raises the vibration
state to any one of an infinite number of states between the ground
and first excited state , called virtual or imaginary states
3 main types of scattering result
Rayleigh scattering- photon leaves with its original E, E=hn & molecule
relaxes to original state
Stokes scattering- photon scattered with less energy than incident
radiation, E=hn -E
Anti-Stokes scattering – photons scattered with more energy than incident
radiation , E=hn E
The change in E between the incident light from source and scattered
photons is measured as change wavenumber (cm-1)– thus any source
wavelength may be used ( 400-2000cm-1)
9. * 3Types of Scattering in Raman Spectroscopy, most common shown in
bold- filters used to reduce Raleigh scattering reaching detector
*E = frequency of IR vibration- if sample is IR active there would be a peak in IR
spectrum at frequency equal to change in E
10. *Rayleigh scattering is most common/intense transition as no change occurs in
Vibrational state, anti-stokes is the least frequent because molecule must be excited
before incident light strikes
11. What is Surface enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (MA-SERS)?
Raman measurements are inherently weak at only .001% of source
intensity because only 1 photon in a million will scatter with a shift in
wavelength
The main drawback to this techniques is that a very large sample quantity is
necessary for a reliable signal, and low quantities of analyte cannot be
detected
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy requires absorption of species
to be studied on a prepared rough metal surface- the Raman laser
produces electron oscillations on the surface which interact with the
analyte to enhance the signal
12. What is Surface enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (SERS)?
Using SERS increases in the intensity of Raman signal have been regularly
observed on the order of 104-106, and can be as high as 108 and 1014 for
some systems
SERS works best with coinage (Au, Ag, Cu) or alkali (Li, Na, K) metal
surfaces
The importance of SERS is that the surface selectivity and sensitivity
extends RS applications to a wide variety of interfacial systems previously
inaccessible to RS because RS is not surface sensitive
These include in-situ and ambient analysis of electrochemical, catalytic,
biological, and organic systems
An novel technique called magnetic assisted surface enhanced Raman
spectroscopy has made an even greater improvement on SERS
13. What is magnetically assisted-surface
enhanced Raman spectroscopy (MA-SERS)?
Magnetically assisted surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy is an
innovative approach which employs a magnetic nanocomposite
and and efficient SERS enhancement inferred by Fe3O4 and silver
nanoparticles
A magnet is then used to magnetically separate the analyte of
interest from surrounding complex matrix which is immediately
analyzed using SERS
This technique has many advantages over other preparation
techniques such as sandwich methods because (I)only one
nanoparticle is needed(I)the methods is simpler (III)there is no
possibility of non-specific interaction from other matrix elements
14. In previous immunoassay SERS detection techniques Raman
labels have been required to provide a strong Raman Signal
Indirect analysis has been performed by measuring the signal of
the Raman label present as a linker between the antibody and
metal surface of the SERS active substrate
In one previous approach gold nanoparticles were labeled with
Raman active 4-mercaptobenzoic acid
These particles were attached to sandwich complexes as shown in
the below figure
4-mercaptobenzoic acid
15. In such methods magnetic substrates are used to efficiently extract a
target from a complex matrix
a selective bond between an analyte and immunorecognition molecule
(previously immobilized on the surface) binds only to the analyte of
interest
magnetic particles are then attached to the surface and the target
analyte is extracted from its surrounding matrix by application of
external magnetic force
16. The SERS-active silver or gold nanoparticles are added after purification
and selectively attached to the target using the same set of
immunorecognition molecules present on the metal surface
The Raman label, 4-meraptobenzoic acid, serves as a linker between
the antibody of interest and the SERS active metal substrate
This techniques has a high LOD of 1-10 ng/mL, however two sets of
nanoparticles must be synthesized, each with limited stability
Experimental design is highly complicated
There is a high risk of false positive signals due to non specific
interactions between particles and non targeted compounds
attracted from matrix
The immobilization of anti-IgG via a bond with streptavidin did not
influence its total activity, in contrast to the approaches mentioned
above, which utilized unspecific direct immobilization on the metal
surface
18. Fe3O4@Ag@streptavidin@anti-IgG
Synthesis
The novel
Fe3O4@Ag@streptavidin@anti-IgG
nanocomposite allows for the first
label-free SERS analysis
Fe3O4@Ag@streptavi-din@anti-
IgG is composed of a magnetic
core(Fe3O4) modified by O-
carboxymethylchitosan
O-carboxymethylchitosan is used to
encapsulate the magnetic
nanoparticle (MNP) to avoid the
agglomeration & to make the MNPs
monodisperse in suspension
It can be seen clearly in Raman
spectra that the 680 cm−1 peak of
Fe–O–Fe in Fe3 O4 shifts to 672cm−1
after covering the MNP by OCMCS
19. Fe3O4@Ag@streptavidin@anti-IgG
Synthesis
The silver surface was
subsequently modified by
streptavidin and finally anti-
immunoglobulin G
Streptavidin immobilizes the
anti-IgG( antibody which binds
specifically to IgG) without
affecting the total activity of
the metal surface– meaning
SARS signal will not be
affected
Streptavidin
21. Potential Applications
Development of analytical methods to determine ultralow levels of
immunoglobulins in various clinical samples including whole human
blood and plasma is a scientific challenge
Many essential discoveries in the fields of immunology and
medicine in the past few decades have made this a prominent field
as intravenous immunoglobins have been found to have multiple
clinical applications:
diopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
Kawasaki disease
Guillain–Barré syndrome
other autoimmune neuropathies
myasthenia gravis
Dermatomyositis
22. Potential Application
As Immunoglobins play an essential role defending the human body against
viruses and disease, they are indispensible to clinical and pharmaceutical
industries
MA- SERS was successfully used to isolate IgG from whole human blood using
the Fe3O4@Ag@streptavidin@anti-IgG nano-composite
IgG has a considerable smaller diameter than the other immunoglobins (A,M,
E, and D) and is able to enter the placenta of an unborn baby to protect it
during pre-natal development
IgG is usually present in human blood samples at 10 g·L−1 which changes
when a disease interrupts the body’s pathological processes
MA-SERS is capable of detecting human IgG at 1000× lower concentration
level
The results of the analysis show that samples from two patients 9 g·L−1 of IgG
and 10 g· L−1 of IgG --- what a healthy human should have!
23. Raman Spectrum of Human Blood
* Raman spectroscopy results for real human blood sample
24. Conclusion
Thermo Corp. already offers a DXR Raman spectroscope capable of SERS
and an accompanying SERS analysis package, however the package is very
basic and only contains 70nm gold colloids( gold nanoparticles suspended
in solution)
Investment in a package containing the necessary nanoparticles and and
magnetic materials needed to perform MA-SERS would be a prudent
investment and would keepThermo Crop. at the forefront of Raman
Spectroscopy
Would allowThermo to compete with companies such as Kaiser Optical
Systems, the current leader in Raman Spectroscopy!

Editor's Notes
Polarizability is a measure of the deformability of ‘squishiness’ of a bond in an electric field ----- whereas homonuclear diatomic molecules such as Cl-Cl are IR-inactive because they have no dipole theay can be measured with Raman because the molecules change in polarizability during stretching
