The zircon scale is advantageous in high chemical stability and the large pressure response of the <i>B</i>_1<i>g</i> mode. Despite its excellent applicability, the calibration of the scale has been carried out only in a narrow pressure–temperature range, especially under limited high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. In this study, the pressure and temperature dependence of the Raman modes of synthetic zircon was investigated up to 9.5 GPa and from room temperature to 776 K using an externally heated diamond anvil cell. Ruby and gold were used as the reference pressure scales. The Raman shift of the <i>B</i>_1<i>g</i> mode for the antisymmetric stretching of the SiO₄ structure in zircon showed a linear pressure dependence of 5.48(4) cm⁻¹/GPa up to 8 GPa at room temperature, in agreement with the previous studies. Measurements under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions confirmed that the pressure dependence up to 9.5 GPa along the isotherms from 373 to 675 K was consistent with the room-temperature value; the wavenumbers can be well deduced from the sum of the individual effects of pressure and temperature, obtained at ambient temperature and pressure, respectively. A comparison of the zircon scale with the <i>c</i>-BN Raman spectroscopic scale confirmed that the pressures determined with these scales were in reasonable agreement. The present results provide a confident use of the zircon Raman spectroscopic scale in a wider pressure–temperature range than previous studies for the internally consistent pressure determination.</p>","PeriodicalId":16926,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Raman Spectroscopy","volume":"55 6","pages":"706-716"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jrs.6663","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139978219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus is on primary silicate minerals in Earth-like bodies, specifically olivine, pyroxene, and feldspar, utilizing data from the RRUFF database. Employing a fitting formula, we identify distinct Raman peak ranges associated with different silicate minerals. Our research covers a wide array of mineral types, including five varieties of olivine (forsterite [Mg₂SiO₄], fayalite [Fe²⁺₂SiO₄], tephroite [Mn²⁺₂SiO₄], monticellite [CaMgSiO₄], and kirschsteinite [CaFe²⁺SiO₄]), four types of pyroxene (ferrosilite [Fe²⁺₂Si₂O₆], enstatite [Mg₂Si₂O₆], hedenbergite [CaFe²⁺Si₂O₆], and diopside [CaMgSi₂O₆]), and three varieties of feldspar (alkali feldspar [KAlSi₃O₈], albite [NaAlSi₃O₈], and anorthite [CaAl₂Si₂O₈]). The accuracy of matching Raman characteristics is exceptionally high for all olivine and pyroxene types (100%) and an impressive 86% for feldspar.

Their electrostatically stabilized ion pairs with citrate–gold nanoparticles have been studied in an aqueous solution, from the pronounced changes in the plasmonic band at 540 nm. Complex A, lacking any coordinating site, can only generate outer-sphere complexes with citrate–gold nanoparticles, but they are stable enough to give a strong SERS response, even at 10⁻⁸ M. At 10⁻⁶ M, agglomeration accompanies the decrease of the electrostatic repulsion, resulting in a sharp decay of the plasmon resonance band at 540 nm. This is followed by the rise of a plasmon coupling band above 700 nm. However, at 10⁻⁴ M, the excess of the complex in the adsorption layer produces a reverse effect, decreasing agglomeration. The observed Raman spectra are essentially similar for the several concentrations employed because the outer-sphere interaction implies a SERS electromagnetic mechanism. In contrast, complex B exhibits several pyridine and pyrazine N-atoms available to form inner-sphere-associated species. A selective enhancement of the SERS signals is observed at 10⁻⁸ M, clearly indicating a chemical mechanism, consistent with a bridging mode.

However, obtaining clear Raman signals is not always a trivial task. Raw Raman signals can be susceptible to photoluminescence interference and noise. Hence, the preprocessing of RHSI is a required step for an effective and reliable chemical analysis. The main challenge is splitting the measured RHSI into separate Raman photoluminescence signals. Since no <i>golden-standard</i> exists, it is non-trivial to validate the correctness of the separated signals. While current state-of-the-art preprocessing methods are effective, they require expert knowledge and involve unintuitive hyperparameters. Current approaches also lack generalizability, requiring extensive hyperparameter tuning on a case-by-case basis, while even then results are not always as expected. To this end, this work proposes a novel iterative RHSI preprocessing pipeline for splitting raw Raman signals and noise removal based on linear spline and radial basis function regression (IlsaRBF). The proposed method involves hyperparameters based on the physical properties of Raman spectroscopy, making them intuitive to use. This leads to more robust and stable hyperparameters, reducing the necessity for extensive hyperparameter tuning. A thorough evaluation shows that the proposed method outperforms the current state-of-the-art.
