Summary: Displacement in conventional Raman spectroscopy can be caused by an increase in material layers or strain variation. Polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy provides a method to distinguish between them. This study uses polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy and numerical analysis to investigate strained graphene induced by different substrates. The research shows that the polarization properties of scattered light in strained graphene are different from unstrained graphene due to phonon polarization deformation caused by different strengths of substrate coupling. This research provides an efficient quantitative method to explore strain anisotropy in two-dimensional materials, which is important for the development of straintronics in the future.

Summary: The dependence of ablation rate on laser fluence was measured in femtosecond laser processing of polydimethylsiloxane. It was found that the slope of ablation rate changed in three different regimes. Analysis of the laser-irradiated area using Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy revealed the influence of chemical structural changes on the slope. The study showed that both photochemical and photothermal processes contribute to the change in slope in the middle fluence regime.

Summary: An anomalous steady-state reduction in the anti-Stokes to Stokes surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) scattering intensity ratio of aromatic thiols adsorbed on plasmonic gold nanoparticles under continuous-wave laser irradiation is observed. The reduction of the scattering intensity ratio is closely related to the excitation wavelength, the surrounding media, and component of the plasmonic substrates used. This discovery implies the presence of unexplained wavelength-dependent SERS outcoupling effects or unrecognized plasmon-molecule interactions that lead to a nanoscale plasmon refrigerator for molecules, which should be considered for the design of plasmonic catalysts and plasmonic photonic devices and could be useful for cooling large molecules under ambient conditions.

Summary: The temperature and stress response of a silicon nanotip under laser heating at different polarization angles were studied by Raman thermometry technique. It was found that the temperature oscillates between-584 and-742 K with the polarization angle changing, showing a strong dependence on laser polarization. Finite element simulations revealed that the oscillation effect is caused by the electric enhancement and the low thermal conductivity, while the polarization-dependent thermal stress is due to the large electric distribution gradient. The periodic oscillation of temperature and stress verifies the reversibility of the tuning process, which is significant for precise nano-manufacturing.

Summary: A novel approach is presented in this paper to tailor the stress properties of diamond thin films through boron doping and micro-fabrication of bridges using focused ion beam milling. Experimental data, supported by detailed confocal micro-Raman investigations and finite element method calculations, suggest that appropriate design of microbridge geometries, together with boron doping, can significantly enhance or diminish material stress compared to non-patterned thin films. This approach, combined with deterministic incorporation and positioning of diamond color centers, may offer new opportunities to tailor the optical and spin properties of diamond-based quantum devices through stress engineering.

Summary: This study used the large laser spot-swift mapping SERS method to measure 24 metabolite standards, providing reliable references for Raman-based metabolomics. In addition to the SERS spectra data, the study extracted and explained the molecular vibration information of these metabolites, and combined with DFT calculations, providing a new possibility for fast Raman recognition of small-molecule metabolites. The established large laser spot-swift mapping SERS database of metabolites could play an important role in metabolomics and other Raman-related research.

Summary: Evaluation methods for species and temperature determination in gaseous mixtures using spontaneous Raman scattering require detailed information on the spectra of the involved species. In this study, the simulation of P and R branches in the ro-vibrational oxygen spectrum was evaluated by comparison to high-resolution experimental spectra in temperatures up to over 2000 K. The inclusion of P and R transitions improved the fitting quality and resulted in better temperature determination and accurate measurement of O2 concentration.

Summary: The study indicates that Raman spectroscopy can be used in microsystem technologies to monitor strain, however, the measured strain may originate from mechanical stress or temperature effects, with the latter often overlooked. By comparing with empty through-silicon vias samples, it was found that part of the strain can be quantitatively attributed to laser-induced thermal expansion.

Summary: In the Remal granite-gneiss of the Singhbhum Craton in the Indian shield, felsic magmatic structures and low-temperature layering have been identified, influenced by localized mylonitization and the dissolution-precipitation of biotite. Mineral orientations show strong alignment, and thermodynamic and multiphysics modeling studies suggest significant convective motion of magmas before solidification over a wide range of crystallinities and water contents.

Summary: The existence and movement sense of the Jhala Normal Fault (JNF) in the Bhagirathi River Transect of the Garhwal Himalaya, India, are debated. Field studies indicate that the JNF lies entirely within the Higher Himalayan Crystalline Sequence (HHCS), with both footwall and hanging-wall preserving thrust-related shear markers. New geochronological data suggest that during Eocene-Oligocene channel flow, the slow-moving JNF hanging-wall trailed its more rapidly extruding footwall, resulting in apparent normal-sense movement across the JNF. The absence of metamorphic breaks or extensional shear zones indicates that the JNF originated as an intra-channel discontinuity.

Summary: The petroleum resource assessment obtained from laboratory tests on old core samples tends to underestimate the in situ resources. This study investigates the hydrocarbon loss and restoration by comparing preserved and exposed core samples. It is found that previous studies have severely underestimated the in situ hydrocarbon potential due to factors such as sample crushing and crucible waiting. A new restoration model is proposed to compensate for these losses.

Summary: Quartz cement is an important authigenic mineral in the tight sandstones of the Shaximiao Formation in the Sichuan Basin. This study analyzed the silicon sources of the quartz cement using mineralogical, fluid inclusion, and geochemical data. The results showed that smectite alteration and dissolution of aluminosilicate minerals were the primary sources of silicon for quartz cementation. Contributions from volcanic material hydrolysis and pressure solution were relatively minor. The presence of chlorite films inhibited the development of quartz overgrowths and had minimal impact on reservoir quality.

Summary: This study employs an integrated depositional and sequence stratigraphic approach to assess the control of diagenesis on reservoir porosity of a hybrid-energy delta system. The study focuses on the Barik Formation in the Haushi-Huqf region of Central Oman, which represents a highstand system tract of a hybrid-energy delta. The assessments reveal that the reservoir porosity is controlled by various degrees of diagenetic processes, including mechanically infiltrated clays and kaolinitization of silicate grains.
