I have written more than 30 books and a number of articles on scientists and politicians. However, I have no experience of writing on a living legend, like Prof Wolfgang Kiefer. Professor Vinod Rastogi, Editor-in-Chief, Asian Journal of Physics, told me that he is planning to organize a special issue of AJP honouring him on the occasion of his 80th birthday on Feb 12, 2021, and invited me to contribute something. I happily agreed, as I know Professor Kiefer for a while, though, only through correspondence, and never had the opportunity to meet him personally.

The effect known as Raman Effect was first demonstrated experimentally on Feb 28, 1928 by Prof Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman at the Indian Association for Cultivation of Sciences, Calcutta (India). After the discovery of Raman Effect in 1928, the researchers all over the world became interested in this new technique which is based on the inelastic scattering of light. In 1929, G Joos, wrote a complete chapter: "The Raman Effect" in German "Encylopaedia of Experimental Physics". In the same year (1929), the importance of the effect in relevance to chemistry was given by C Schäfer and F Matossi in a monograph “Fortschritte der Chemie, Physik und Physikalische Chemie”. In 1931, K W F Kohlrausch published “Der Smekal-Raman-Effekt”, in which he gave 417 references1. For the first time, the term " Raman Effect" was introduced to the scientific literature by one of the Raman's junior colleagues, L A Ramdas through a short note which appeared in the 14th July issue of Nature in 1928. Also for the first time the term "Raman Effect" appeared in Title- Index of Vol 122 of Nature in 1928.

The Best is Yet To Be: Raman Effect - Past, Present and Future

V B Kartha*

The Past

“-----the study of light-scattering might carry one into the deepest problems of physics and chemistry---“. [1]. These prophetic words, spoken by Sir C.V. Raman, in his Nobel lecture on December 11-1930, are never so true as they are today, more than 90 years after the discovery of the “Raman Effect”. Raman said, “The universality of the phenomenon, the convenience of the experimental technique and the simplicity of the spectra obtained enable the effect to be used as an experimental aid to the solution of a wide range of problems in physics and chemistry.” Raman had already visualized why and how this will happen, when he stated “The frequency differences determined from the spectra, the width and character of the lines appearing in them, and the intensity and state of polarization of the scattered radiations enable us to obtain an insight into the ultimate structure of the scattering substance”. How prophetic he was when he stated “It follows that the new field of spectroscopy has practically unrestricted scope in the study of problems relating to the structure of matter.” !

Early diagnosis and treatment of all diseases and in particular cancer is important to allow curative treatment. Symptomatic cancer is usually a lethal disease that requires extensive treatment that is enormously challenging for the patient. Over some twenty-five years we have explored the use of Raman to detect molecular changes in precancerous change and cancer of the oesophagus. The aims have been to reduce the subjectivity of histological diagnosis in particular of dysplastic pre invasive cancerous changes in columnar lined (Barrett’s Oesophagus). These changes are often macroscopically invisible and very easily undetectable. Following this we have investigated the development of rapid diagnostic techniques to detect early degeneration in real time without the delays inherent in biopsy and histological analysis. In particular, we have concentrated on the early detection of the macroscopically invisible changes that precede the degeneration to cancer in some patients with Barrett’s Oesophagus. Once these changes are detected the area can we treated using endoscopic techniques and the progression to cancer interrupted without major and life threatening interventions. © Anita Publications.

This review summarizes work from the authors’ laboratory on immuno-surface-enhanced Raman scattering (iSERS) microscopy since the demonstration of its proof of concept in 2006. iSERS microscopy is an emerging bioimaging technique for the selective localization of proteins on single cells and tissue. Selectivity for target proteins is achieved by labeling the corresponding antibodies with SERS labels/nanotags, i.e., molecularly functionalized noble metal nanoparticles for spectral identification. Central advantages of iSERS are multiplexing, quantification, minimization of autofluorescence, no/minimal photobleaching and the need for only a single laser excitation wavelength. The performance of SERS labels/nanotags can be studied in correlative single-particle SERS microspectroscopic and electron microscopic experiments. The rational design of optimal SERS labels/nanotags can be supported by computer simulations predicting the optical properties including the SERS signal enhancement. Work on iSERS from the authors’ group over the past 15 years on the selective localization of target proteins, especially in cancer diagnostics, on tissue and single cells is highlighted. © Anita Publications.

Vibrational spectroscopy is commonly performed using infrared radiation for direct transitions between vibrational states or using visible radiation in a Raman process. As an alternative to narrowband lasers, broadband femtosecond pulses can be employed to excite vibrational wave packets whose temporal oscillations contain analogous information. In this review article, it is shown that coherent multidimensional electronic spectroscopy provides a generalization of this idea, such that vibrational information can be retrieved together with ultrafast dynamics and correlations between various electronically excited states. In particular, fluorescence-detected coherent two- and three-dimensional electronic spectroscopy is discussed. This can be realized in a single-beam geometry with shot-to-shot pulse shaping that allows for fast data acquisition and simultaneous measurement of 15 (or more) different four- and six-wave-mixing spectra. These provide information on higher electronically excited states, vibrational dynamics, and exciton transport, for example in supramolecular systems. Generalizations of this idea offer additional spatial resolution on a µm length scale in an optical microscope or even down to the few nm length scale using photoemission electron microscopy. Furthermore, the concept of signal detection was transferred to molecular beams and photoions. A topic of current interest is retrieving the full nonlinear tensor via polarization-shaped laser pulses. In general, multidimensional spectroscopy is a powerful strategy to systematically map out the response of a quantum system for increasing orders of nonlinearity in light–matter interaction. © Anita Publications.

Absolute Raman cross-section of a Raman transition governs the strength of its observed intensity. The knowledge of this property is crucial in understanding the nature of the Raman tensor and for direct quantitative applications of the Raman intensities. In this study, we determine the absolute differential Raman cross-sections of benzene and cyclohexane: two molecules of fundamental importance, used routinely in studies pertinent to Raman cross-sections. In our experiments, over 15 sets of pressure dependent Raman spectra were acquired on an intensity calibrated Raman spectrometer. The contribution of air, as an impurity, in the pressure readings was quantified. We used pure rotational Raman bands of molecular hydrogen, with known accurate Raman cross-sections as the intensity standards. The Raman cross-sections of the ring breathing mode in benzene (ν₂, 992.3 cm^–1) and cyclohexane (ν₅, 801.3 cm^–1) were determined in the gas phase, with uncertainty of 2.7 and 3.5%, respectively. © Anita Publications.

Hydrophobic hydration is central to macromolecular organization pertaining to chemistry, biology, and applied fields. A delicate balance of hydrophobe-water and water-water interactions dictates the water structure around the hydrophobe. Depending on the size of the hydrophobe, water adopts either tetrahedral or broken hydrogen-bonded structures at the hydrophobic surface. Here, we have investigated the structure of water in the vicinity of molecular hydrophobes that differ from each other either by net charge or by alkyl chain configuration. We have applied Raman difference spectroscopy combined with simultaneous curve fitting analysis (RD-SCF) at variable temperature, which provided the water spectrum (OH stretch) pertaining the hydration shell of the solute at different solution temperatures. Our results show that one-unit positive charge on the hydrophobic group (e.g., tert-butyl alcohol vs. trimethylamine N-oxide) does not affect the tetrahedral structure of water in the hydrophobic hydration shell. On the other hand, the change in alkyl chain configuration from tert-butyl to n-butyl group destabilizes the tetrahedral water structure. © Anita Publications. All rights reserved.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Fluorescence spectroscopy has been applied to study the influence of cations (Na+, Mg2+ and La3+) of various charges on the interaction of zwitterionic liposome with the minor groove of DNA. It has been found that DPPC does not interact with the minor groove of DNA in the presence of Na+. However, the interaction of DPPC is enhanced with the minor groove of DNA in the presence of Mg2+ and La3+ and the effect is more profound in the case of La3+. This study depicts that ionic charges can modulate the interaction of DPPC liposome with DNA minor groove which will be helpful in designing the drug delivery system. © Anita Publications.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Density functional theoretical computations were performed to obtain structural geometry, Hirshfeld surface, vibrational spectra and NLO property of 3-chloro-4-fluroaniline and 2-iodoaniline and results are compared with p-iodoaniline and p-bromoaniline. Hirshfeld surface analysis represented in the 2D fingerprint plot shows the presence of strong and weak intermolecular interactions within the dimer molecules. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap 4.6926 eV in 2-IA and 4.9377 eV in 3C4FA is an evidence for intra-molecular charge transfer interactions (π → π* as well as n → π*) within the molecules enhancing NLO activity. FT-IR, FT-Raman and UV-visible spectra of the compounds are simulated and compared with the corresponding experimental spectra. © Anita Publications. All rights reserved.

This paper presents the effect of red color-conversion materials on the emitting spectrum of typical light emitting diodes (LEDs) for general lighting applications. Conventional LEDs consist of blue LED chips and yellow phosphors lacking deep red in their emitting spectra. Addition of red phosphors or red quantum dots may improve the color-rendering properties of white LEDs. Either the K₂SiF₆:Mn⁴⁺(KSF) red phosphor or red CdSe/ZnS quantum dot was included in the white LED made by using blue LEDs and YAG(Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺) green phosphors. Inclusion of red emitting materials enhanced the color rendering index(CRI) significantly, especially the R9 index associated with the strong red. In addition, it was found that the improved white LEDs could be used to enhance the color gamut of liquid crystal displays. © Anita Publications. All rights reserved.
