Isotope dilution cold-vapor inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID-CV-ICPMS) has become the primary standard for measurement of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) mass concentration. However, quantitative mass spectrometry is challenging for several
[FeFe]-hydrogenases are efficient enzymes that produce hydrogen gas under mild conditions. Synthetic model compounds containing all CO or mixed CO/PMe3 ligands have been studied with ultrafast ultraviolet (UV) or visible pump-infrared (IR) probe

The HITEMP2010 and HITRAN Online databases are important tools for predicting molecular absorption under various environmental conditions. At room temperature the databases can be quite accurate, owing to their development using room temperature absorption

We have performed a reference-free measurement of the transition energies of the 1s2p1P1 → 1s2 1S0 line in He-like argon, and of the 1s2s22p 1P1 → 1s22s2 1S0 line in Be-like argon ions. The highly-charged ions were produced in the plasma of an Electron

The valence-to-core (V2C) portion of X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES) measures the electron 15 states close to the Fermi level. These states are involved in bonding, thus provide a measure of the 16 chemistry of the material. In this manuscript, we show

We report on a novel semiconductor reliability technique that incorporates an electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) spectrometer within a conventional semiconductor wafer probing station. EDMR is an ultrasensitive electron paramagnetic resonance
We demonstrate the precision molecular spectroscopy of H13CN using a free-running, all-fiber dual electro-optic frequency comb system. Successive interferograms, acquired at a rate of Δfrep = 1 MHz, were phase-corrected in post-processing, averaged, and

Infrared spectroscopy is a powerful tool for basic and applied science. The rich spectral fingerprints of compounds in the 3 um - 20 um region provide a means to uniquely identify the molecular structure for applications that include fundamental

Balancing global energy needs against increasing greenhouse gas emissions requires new methods for efficient CO2 reduction. While photoreduction of CO2 is promising, the rational design of photocatalysts hinges on precise characterization of the surface
Optical two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy is an extremely useful tool for examining the structure and dynamics of semiconductors. The appeal of the technique is in its ability to resolve both individual-emitter and ensemble-averaged properties of
Computational investigation of of the photochemical properties of transition-metal-centered dyes typically involves optimization of the molecular structure followed by calculation of the UV/Visible spectrum. At present, these steps are usually carried out

It has been shown that coatings comprised of carbon nanotubes are very black; that is, characterized by low reflectance over a broad wavelength range from the visible to far infrared. Arguably there is no other material that is comparable. This is

We derive a new abundance for vanadium in the bright, mildly metal-poor red giant Arcturus. This star has an excellent high-resolution spectral atlas and well-understood atmospheric parameters, and it displays a rich set of neutral vanadium lines that are

Elucidation of the structural transformations in graphene oxide (GO) upon reduction remains an active and important area of research. We report the results of in situ heating experiments, during which electrical, mass spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron

We report radiative transition probabilities for 5029 emission lines of neutral cerium within the wavelength range 417 to 1110 nm. Transition probabilities for only 4% of these lines have been previously measured. These results are obtained from a

We present broadband measurements of the optical properties of tissue-mimicking solid phantoms using a single integrating sphere to measure the hemispherical reflectance and transmittance under a direct illumination at the normal incident angle. These

Studies of the electrified solid-liquid interfaces are crucial for understanding of the biological and electrochemical systems. Until recently, the use of photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) for such purposes has been hampered by the in-compatibility

We present X-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements on the iron L-edge of 0.5 mM aqueous ferricyanide. These measurements demonstrate the ability of high-throughput transition- edge-sensor (TES)

The nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR) effect has prolific applications ranging from precision mapping of Earth's magnetic field to biomagnetic sensing. Studies on collisional spin relaxation effects have led to ultrahigh magnetic field
In this critical compilation, all known to us experimental data on the spectrum of neutral carbon were methodically evaluated and supplemented by parametric calculations with Cowan's code. The sources of experimental data vary from laboratory to
