A GC-MS method is developed for structure determination of aliphatic within mixtures. It involves online application of a gas-phase dehydrogenation reaction after GC separation and before MS analysis. Primary and secondary alcohols are converted into
In the practice of analytical Raman spectroscopy, it becomes increasingly important to employ a procedure for the correction of the relative intensity of Raman spectra. The determination of the intensity response function of a Raman instrument
Measurements leading to the calculation of the standard thermodynamic properties for gaseous diphenylmethane (Chemical Abstracts registry number [101-81-5]) are reported. Experimental methods include adiabatic heat-capacity calorimetry, vibrating-tube

Transmission (TEM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) provide ideal platforms for electron and x-ray spectrometry to characterize nanoscale particles and nanostructured bulk materials. Electron spectrometry includes electron energy loss spectrometry
As part of a thermophysical and transport property measurement project, the global decomposition kinetics of the kerosene based rocket propellant, RP-1, was investigated. We measured the decomposition of RP-1 at elevated temperatures (that is, under
Measurements leading to the calculation of the standard thermodynamic properties for gaseous 2-methylquinoline (Chemical Abstracts registry number [91-63-4]) and 8 methylquinoline (Chemical Abstracts registry number [611-32-5]) are reported. Experimental
Polyatomic primary ions offer low penetration depth and high damage removal rates in some polymers, facilitating their use in the molecular depth profiling of these polymers by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). This study is the second in a series of
The rapid progress in the semiconductor industry requires more precise in-depth profiling analysis of doping elements in narrower and shallower regions. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is the most popular technique for the depth distribution of
This paper has been presented as a plenary Lecture at the Eighteenth International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics held August 17-20, 2004, in Beijing,China. Unprecedented growth in the number of custom-designed software tools for engineering
