Elemental analyses of soil and sediment fused with lithium borate using isotope dilution laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-IDMS)

September 2, 2013
Author(s)
John L. Molloy, Julian Malherbe, Fanny Claverie, Aitor Alvarez-Toral, Beatriz Fernandez, Rosario Pereiro
Quantitative analysis using Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) remains challenging primarily due to elemental fractionation effects and to the lack of appropriate standards available for the wide variety of samples of

Direct measurements of mass-specific optical cross sections of single component aerosol mixtures

July 22, 2013
Author(s)
James Radney, Xiaofei Ma, Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Zachariah, Joseph T. Hodges, Christopher D. Zangmeister
The optical properties of atmospheric aerosols vary widely, being dependent upon particle composition, morphology and mixing state. This diversity and complexity of aerosols motivates measurement techniques that can discriminate and quantify a variety of

Trace water vapor analysis in specialty gases: sensor and spectroscopic approaches

July 1, 2013
Author(s)
Kristine A. Bertness, Mark W. Raynor, Kevin C. Cossel, Florian B. Adler, Jun Ye
The analysis of water vapor impurity is important in a number of specialty gas applications. However the main driver for the development and advancement of trace H 2O analysis techniques has been the microelectronics industry. The International Technology

Open-Path Dual-Comb Spectroscopy of Greenhouse Gases

June 9, 2013
Author(s)
Greg B. Rieker, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, William C. Swann, Ian R. Coddington, Laura C. Sinclair, Christopher L. Cromer, Esther Baumann, Alexander M. Zolot, Nathan R. Newbury
Frequency-comb spectroscopy in the near-infrared is used to measure atmospheric CO2 and H2O concentrations over a 2-km outdoor open-air path. This technique shows promise for measurements over length scales between point sensors and satellite systems.

A fitting program for molecules with two equivalent methyl tops and C2v point-group symmetry at equilibrium: Application to existing microwave, millimeter, and sub-millimeter wave measurements of acetone

May 31, 2013
Author(s)
Jon T. Hougen, Vadim V. Ilyushin
A program, called PAM_C2v_2tops, for fitting the high-resolution torsion-rotation spectra of molecules with two equivalent methyl rotors and C2v symmetry at equilibrium is described and applied to the spectrum of acetone [(CH3)2CO]. The G36 permutation

Photochemical Properties of Some Cl-Containing Halogenated Alkanes

May 31, 2013
Author(s)
Vladimir L. Orkin, Victor Khamaganov, E. E. Kasimovskaya, A G. Guschin
Rate constants for the gas phase reactions of OH radicals with three partially halogenated alkanes, CHCl3 (kMC), CHFClCFCl2 (k122a), and CH2CFCl2 (k132c), were measured using a discharge flow – electron paramagnetic resonance technique over the temperature

Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of 1,3,5-Triisopropylcyclohexane

May 29, 2013
Author(s)
Raina V. Gough, Jason A. Widegren, Thomas J. Bruno
Recent surrogate diesel fuel mixture development identified the need for a multiply-substituted, low cetane number, high molecular mass monocycloalkane component. On the basis of a thermophysical property evaluation and prediction, 1,3,5

Surface mediated assembly of small, metastable gold nanoclusters

May 27, 2013
Author(s)
John M. Pettibone, William A. Osborn, Konrad Rykaczewski, Albert A. Talin, John E. Bonevich, Jeffrey W. Hudgens
The unique properties of metallic nanoclusters are attractive for numerous commercial and industrial applications but are generally less stable than nanocrystals. Thus, developing methodologies for stabilizing nanoclusters and retaining their enhanced
