Excitation energy dependent Raman spectrum of MoSe2.

ABSTRACT: Raman investigation of MoSe2 was carried out with eight different excitation energies. Seven peaks, including E1g, A1g, E2g(1), and A2u(2) peaks are observed in the range of 100-400 cm(-1). The phonon modes are assigned by comparing the peak positions with theoretical calculations. The intensities of the peaks are enhanced at different excitation energies through resonance with different optical transitions. The A1g mode is enhanced at 1.58 and 3.82 eV, which are near the A exciton energy and the band-to-band transition between higher energy bands, respectively. The E2g(1) mode is strongly enhanced with respect to the A1g mode for the 2.71- and 2.81-eV excitations, which are close to the C exciton energy. The different enhancements of the A1g and E2g(1) modes are explained in terms of the symmetries of the exciton states and the exciton-phonon coupling. Other smaller peaks including E1g and A2u(2) are forbidden but appear due to the resonance effect near optical transition energies.

Full Spectrum Raman Excitation Mapping Spectroscopy.

Project description:A generalization of the Raman scattering (RS) spectrum, the Raman excitation map (REM) is a hyperspectral two-dimensional (2D) data set encoding vibrational spectra, electronic spectra and their coupling. Despite the great potential of REM for optical sensing and characterization with remarkable sensitivity and selectivity, the difficulty of obtaining maps and the length of time required to acquire them has been practically limiting. Here we show, with a simple setup using current optical equipment, that maps can be obtained much more rapidly than before (~ms to ~100?s now vs. ~1000?s to hours before) over a broad excitation range (here ~100?nm is demonstrated, with larger ranges straightforward to obtain), thus taking better advantage of scattering resonance. We obtain maps from different forms of carbon: graphite, graphene, purified single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and chirality enriched SWCNTs. The relative speed and simplicity of the technique make REM a practical and sensitive tool for chemical analysis and materials characterization.

Excitation energy dependent Raman signatures of ABA- and ABC-stacked few-layer graphene.

Project description:The dependence of the Raman spectrum on the excitation energy has been investigated for ABA-and ABC- stacked few-layer graphene in order to establish the fingerprint of the stacking order and the number of layers, which affect the transport and optical properties of few-layer graphene. Five different excitation sources with energies of 1.96, 2.33, 2.41, 2.54 and 2.81?eV were used. The position and the line shape of the Raman 2D, G*, N, M, and other combination modes show dependence on the excitation energy as well as the stacking order and the thickness. One can unambiguously determine the stacking order and the thickness by comparing the 2D band spectra measured with 2 different excitation energies or by carefully comparing weaker combination Raman modes such as N, M, or LOLA modes. The criteria for unambiguous determination of the stacking order and the number of layers up to 5 layers are established.

Excited-State Energy Surfaces in Molecules Revealed by Impulsive Stimulated Raman Excitation Profiles.

Project description:Photophysical and photochemical processes are ruled by the interplay between transient vibrational and electronic degrees of freedom, which are ultimately determined by the multidimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs). Differences between ground and excited PESs are encoded in the relative intensities of resonant Raman bands, but they are experimentally challenging to access, requiring measurements at multiple wavelengths under identical conditions. Herein, we perform a two-color impulsive vibrational scattering experiment to launch nuclear wavepacket motions by an impulsive pump and record their coupling with a targeted excited-state potential by resonant Raman processes with a delayed probe, generating in a single measurement background-free vibrational spectra across the entire sample absorption. Building on the interference between the multiple pathways resonant with the excited-state manifold that generate the Raman signal, we show how to experimentally tune their relative phase by varying the probe chirp, decoding nuclear displacements along different normal modes and revealing the multidimensional PESs. Our results are validated against time-dependent density functional theory.

Excitation energy-dependent photocurrent switching in a single-molecule photodiode.

Project description:The direction of electron flow in molecular optoelectronic devices is dictated by charge transfer between a molecular excited state and an underlying conductor or semiconductor. For those devices, controlling the direction and reversibility of electron flow is a major challenge. We describe here a single-molecule photodiode. It is based on an internally conjugated, bichromophoric dyad with chemically linked (porphyrinato)zinc(II) and bis(terpyridyl)ruthenium(II) groups. On nanocrystalline, degenerately doped indium tin oxide electrodes, the dyad exhibits distinct frequency-dependent, charge-transfer characters. Variations in the light source between red-light (∼1.9 eV) and blue-light (∼2.7 eV) excitation for the integrated photodiode result in switching of photocurrents between cathodic and anodic. The origin of the excitation frequency-dependent photocurrents lies in the electronic structure of the chromophore excited states, as shown by the results of theoretical calculations, laser flash photolysis, and steady-state spectrophotometric measurements.

Hexagonal 2H-MoSe2 broad spectrum active photocatalyst for Cr(VI) reduction.

Project description:To make full use of the solar energy, exploring broad spectrum active photocatalysts has become one of the core issues for photocatalysis. Here we report a novel hexagonal 2H-MoSe2 photocatalyst with ultraviolet (UV)-visible-near infrared (NIR) light response for the first time. The results indicate that the MoSe2 displays excellent photo-absorption and photocatalytic activity in the reduction of Cr(VI) under UV and visible even NIR light irradiation. MoSe2 synthesized at pH value of 2 achieves the highest Cr(VI) reduction rates of 99%, 91% and 100% under UV, visible and NIR light irradiation, respectively, which should be attributed to its comparatively higher light absorption, efficient charge separation and transfer as well as relatively large number of surface active sites. The excellent broad spectrum active photocatalytic activity makes the MoSe2 to be a promising photocatalyst for the effective utilization of solar energy.

Photon Energy Dependent Micro-Raman Spectroscopy with a Continuum Laser Source.

Project description:We present a method for continuous, photon energy dependent micro Raman spectroscopy. A narrow excitation line is selected from a continuum laser by an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) plus an additional monochromator (MC). Automation of laser, AOTF, MC and tunable long pass filters enables us to continuously scan the wavelength over the full visible range while synchronously acquiring Raman spectra over a photon energy range from 1.85?eV to 2.83?eV. We demonstrate the applicability of our method on a well-studied sample, reduced graphene oxide (rGO), where we measure the Raman scattering over the whole visual range and use the photon energy dependence of the D, G and GS band as verification for the method we present here. We complement this set of data with additional results from a Ti:sapphire laser source, covering the 1.75 to 1.41?eV range. From the full photon energy range of 1.41 to 2.83?eV, we noticed a small deviation from linearity for the dispersion of the D band.

Broadband Full-Spectrum Raman Excitation Mapping Reveals Intricate Optoelectronic-Vibrational Resonance Structure of Chirality-Pure Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes.

Project description:The Raman excitation spectra of chirality-pure (6,5), (7,5), and (8,3) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are explored for homogeneous solid film samples over broad excitation energy and scattering energy ranges using a rapid and relatively simple full spectrum Raman excitation mapping technique. Identification of variation in scattering intensity with sample type and phonon energy related to different vibrational bands is clearly realized. Excitation profiles are found to vary strongly for different phonon modes. Some modes' Raman excitation profiles are extracted, with the G band profile compared to earlier work. Other modes, such as the M and iTOLA modes, have quite sharp resonance profiles and strong resonances. Conventional fixed wavelength Raman spectroscopy can miss these effects on the scattering intensities entirely due to the significant intensity changes observed for small variations in excitation wavelength. Peak intensities for phonon modes traceable to a pristine carbon lattice forming a SWCNT sidewall were greater for high-crystallinity materials. In the case of highly defective SWCNTs, the scattering intensities of the G band and the defect-related D band are demonstrated to be affected both in absolute intensities and in relative ratio, with the ratio that would be measured by single wavelength Raman scattering dependent on the excitation wavelength due to differences in the resonance energy profiles of the two bands. Lastly it is shown that the approach of this contribution yields a clear path toward increasing the rigor and quantification of resonance Raman scattering intensity measurements through tractable corrections of excitation and emission side variations in efficiency with excitation wavelength.

Energy-dependent quenching adjusts the excitation diffusion length to regulate photosynthetic light harvesting.

Project description:An important determinant of crop yields is the regulation of photosystem II (PSII) light harvesting by energy-dependent quenching (qE). However, the molecular details of excitation quenching have not been quantitatively connected to the fraction of excitations converted to chemical energy by PSII reaction centers (PSII yield), which determines flux to downstream metabolism. Here, we incorporate excitation dissipation by qE into a pigment-scale model of excitation transfer and trapping for a 200 × 200-nm patch of the grana membrane. We show that excitation transport can be rigorously coarse grained to a 2D random walk with an excitation diffusion length determined by the extent of quenching. We present an alternative method for analyzing pulse amplitude-modulated chlorophyll fluorescence measurements that incorporates the effects of a variable excitation diffusion length during qE activation.
