Optical Properties of Meloxicam in the Far-Infrared Spectral Region

August 17, 2018
Author(s)
Yusuf S. Aytekin, Mustafa Koturk, Adam Zaczek, Timothy M. Korter, Edwin J. Heilweil, Okan Esenturk
One of the most commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory active pharmaceutical ingredient called Meloxicam has been characterized spectroscopically both by Terahertz (THz) time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR)

Photochemical Dynamics of a Trimethyl-Phosphine Derivatized [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Model Compound

August 17, 2018
Author(s)
Edwin J. Heilweil, Rachel L. Meyer, Tara M. Biser, Anet D. Zhandosova, Christopher J. Stromberg
Coupling photosensitizers with [FeFe]-hydrogenase model compounds can potentially create light- driven catalysts for production of hydrogen gas from acidic protons. Though there have been many studies on the synthesis, kinetics, and reaction mechanisms of

Chemical Compound Classification by Elemental Signatures in Castle Dust Using SEM Automated X-ray Particle Analysis

August 1, 2018
Author(s)
Diana Ortiz-Montalvo, Edward P. Vicenzi, Nicholas W. Ritchie, Carol A. Grissom, Richard A. Livingston, Zoe Weldon-Yochim, Joseph M. Conny, Scott A. Wight
Discoloration on the Smithsonian Institution Building and Enid A. Haupt Garden gateposts was recently revealed to be related to a Mn enriched rock varnish. Mn does not appear to be derived locally from the building stone; therefore, its source is likely

Characterization of Interfacial Structure in Polymer-Fullerene Bulk Heterojunctions via 13C {2H} Rotational Echo Double Resonance NMR

July 13, 2018
Author(s)
Ryan C. Nieuwendaal, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Martin Heeney, Jan Hummelen, Chad R. Snyder, Ronald L. Jones, Sebastian Engmann, Lee J. Richter, Zhuping Fei, Alex Sieval
We introduce a new application of solid state NMR measurements towards characterizing the donor-acceptor interfaces within bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films. Rotational echo double resonance (REDOR) is used to measure dipolar couplings between 13C nuclei on

A Scalable Readout for Microwave SQUID Multiplexing of Transition-Edge Sensors

July 9, 2018
Author(s)
Johnathon D. Gard, Daniel T. Becker, Douglas A. Bennett, Joseph W. Fowler, Gene C. Hilton, John A. Mates, Carl D. Reintsema, Daniel R. Schmidt, Daniel S. Swetz, Joel N. Ullom
The readout requirements for instruments based on transition-edge sensors (TESs) have dramatically increased over the last decade as demand for systems with larger arrays and faster sensors has grown. Emerging systems are expected to contain many thousands

Electronic Properties and Structure of Single Crystal Perylene

Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Katelyn Goetz, Emily G. Bittle, Hamna Haneef, Lin You, Christina A. Hacker, Steven W. Robey, Oana Jurchescu, Ruslan Ovsyannikov, Erika Giangrisostomi
The transport properties of electronic devices made from single crystalline molecular semiconductors outperform those composed of thin-films. To further understand the superiority of these extrinsic properties, an understanding of the intrinsic electronic

Imaging linear and circular polarization features in leaves with complete Mueller matrix polarimetry

June 1, 2018
Author(s)
C.H. L. Patty, David Luo, Frans Snik, Freek Ariese, Wybren J. Buma, Inge L. ten Kate, Rob J. van Spanning, William Sparks, Thomas Germer, Gy?z? Garab, Michael W. Kudenov
Spectropolarimetry of intact plant leaves allows to probe the molecular architecture of vegetation photosynthesis in a non-invasive and non-destructive way and, as such, can offer a wealth of physiological information. In addition to the molecular signals

Nanoscale photocurrent mapping in perovskite solar cells

June 1, 2018
Author(s)
Yohan Yoon, Dongheon Ha, Ik Jae Park, Paul M. Haney, Sangwook Lee, Nikolai Zhitenev
In this work, we study spatially-resolved generation of photocurrent of methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskite solar cells to reveal the microscopic effects of annealing temperature and degradation under light exposure. Correlating a novel

High temperature performance of the HITEMP2010 and HITRAN Online databases: comparison with frequency comb measurements of water vapor absorption from 6800 cm-1 to 7200 cm-1

April 3, 2018
Author(s)
Paul J. Schroeder, D Pfotenhauer, J Yang, William C. Swann, Ian R. Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury, Greg B. Rieker
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

High-precision measurements of n = 2 - n = 1 transition energies and level widths in He- and Be- like Argon Ions

March 26, 2018
Author(s)
Jorge Machado, Csilla Szabo-Foster, Jose Paulo Santos, Pedro Amaro, Mauro Guerra, Guojie Bian, Jean-Michel Isac, Paul Indelicato
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

Non-Resonant Valence-to-Core X-ray Emission Spectroscopy of Niobium

Bruce D. Ravel, A. J. Kropf, Dali Yang, Mengen Wang, Mehmet Topsokal, Deyu Lu, M. C. Stennett, N. C. Hyatt
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
