Using Raman Spectroscopy for Characterization of Defects and Disorder in Two-Dimensional Materials
Raman spectroscopy has been demonstrated as an analytical technique for characterizing disorder in 2D crystalline material structures caused by the presence of defects. This disorder in 2D crystalline structures may be described from a dimensionality point of view, 0D, or 1D defects, expressed as points or lines, respectively. For characterization of the quantity of 0D and 1D defects respectively, two Raman measurement parameters are required as defect-induced activation of forbidden Raman modes, and defect-induced confinement of phonons. Professor Ado Jorio, of the Department of Physics at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Brazil, recently talked to us about his research in this field.

Nutrient Management Planning with Portable X-ray Fluorescence
Water quality around the world is impaired by nutrients. Excess phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) in surface water is one cause of eutrophication and toxic algal blooms. Much of this P and N comes from agricultural operations, especially when animals are concentrated in one location, including concentrated animal feeding operations, as defined by the United States Department of Agriculture. A nutrient management plan (NMP) is a whole-farm planning tool to identify and manage nutrient inputs and outputs, and within-farm transfers–essentially a nutrient mass balance.

Total Reflection Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence for Analysis of Human Samples: from Cells to Tissues
Trace metals play a crucial role in the human body and health. Measuring the accumulation of these metals in human cells and tissues is important for diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, as well as for measuring environmental, occupational, and medical exposures. Modern ophthalmology is exploring novel ideas on the effects of metals on eye health–namely, the link between neonatal cataracts and lead exposure during pregnancy, and the use of cosmetics, potentially leading to the accumulation of metals in the eye, and larger lacrimal sac stones in women.
