The copper strip corrosion test (CSCT) is used to measure the corrosivity of sulfur compounds in fluids. The CSCT is performed by immersing a strip of cleaned, polished copper in a fluid at a specified temperature for a predetermined time, then reading the
The interpretation of Raman spectra of GaSb can be complicated by the presence of a so-called surface space-charge region (SSCR), resulting in an inhomogeneous near-surface Raman scattering environment. To fully interpret Raman spectra, it is important to

A double spike speciated isotope dilution (DS-SID) reaction model was developed to study and correct for the inadvertent transformations affecting methylmercury (MeHg), inorganic mercury (iHg) and total mercury (HgT) measurements in biological tissues
Using a single-channel active Raman gain medium, we show a 220±20 ns advance time for an optical pulse of FWHM=15.4 s propagating through a 10 cm medium, a lead time that is comparable to what was reported previously using a two-mode pump field. In

We determined the zero-density viscosity eta of hydrogen, methane and argon in the temperature range 200 K to 400 K, with standard uncertainties of 0.084 % for hydrogen and argon and 0.096 % for methane. These uncertainties are dominated by the uncertainty

Photoemission spectra have been used to determine the energy-level alignment and work function of monolayers of 4,4'-bis-(phenylethynyl)benzenethiol, 2 naphthalene thiol, and 3-(naphthalen-2-yl)propane-1-thiol self-assembled on Ag, Cu, Au, and Pt. For each

Using a quasi-spherical, microwave cavity resonator, we measured the refractive index of helium to deduce its molar polarizability A ε in the limit of zero density. We obtained (A ε,meas - A ε,theory)/A ε = (-1.8plus or minus} 8.4)× 10 -6, where the
The interactions between cholesterol and saturated phospholipids in hybrid bilayer membranes (HBMs) were investigated using the interface-sensitive technique of vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS). The unique sensitivity of VSFS to order/disorder

The chelation dynamics of three new [Cr{?6-C6H5C(O)R}(CO)3] complexes 1 (R = CH2(SCH3)), 2 (R = CH(SCH3)2), and 3 (R = C(SCH3)3) in room temperature heptane, THF, and acetonitrile solutions have been investigated on the picosecond to millisecond timescale

The main gel-to-liquid-crystal (LC) phase transition temperature, Tm, of the distal lipid layer in hybrid bilayer membranes (HBMs) under water was investigated using vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS). VSFS has unique sensitivity to order
We probed four closely spaced rovibrational water vapor absorption transitions near wavenumber = 7100 cm(^-1) using frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Room-temperature spectra were acquired for pure water vapor in the Doppler limit and for
