Versatile silicon-waveguide supercontinuum for coherent mid-infrared spectroscopy

March 6, 2018
Author(s)
Nima Nader, Daniel Maser, Flavio Caldas da Cruz, Abijith S. Kowligy, Henry R. Timmers, Jeffrey T. Chiles, Connor D. Fredrick, Daron A. Westly, Richard P. Mirin, Jeffrey M. Shainline, Scott A. Diddams
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

Imaging catalytic CO2 reduction on Cu2O (110) -- A First-Principles study

March 5, 2018
Author(s)
Eric L. Shirley, John T. Vinson, Liang Li, Maria K. Chan, Jeffry Greeley, Jeffrey R. Guest, Rui Zhang
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

Two-Dimensional Coherent Spectroscopy of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

February 28, 2018
Author(s)
Galan Moody
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

Semiempirical Configuration Interaction Calculations for RuCentered Dyes

February 18, 2018
Author(s)
Lisa A. Fredin, Thomas C. Allison
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

Carbon Nanotube-Based Black Coatings

February 15, 2018
Author(s)
John H. Lehman, Christopher S. Yung, Nathan A. Tomlin, Davis R. Conklin, Michelle S. Stephens
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

Vanadium Transitions in the Spectrum of Arcturus

February 1, 2018
Author(s)
Michael P. Wood, Chris Sneden, James E. Lawler, E. A. Den Hartog, John J. Cowan, Gillian Nave
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

Low-temperature thermal reduction of graphene oxide: In situ correlative structural, thermal desorption and electrical transport measurements

January 30, 2018
Author(s)
Alexey Lipatov, Maxime Guinel, Dmitry S. Muratov, Vladislav O. Vanyushin, Peter Wilson, Andrei Kolmakov, Alexander Sinitskii
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

Correction of an adding-doubling inversion algorithm for the measurement of the optical parameters of turbid media

January 1, 2018
Author(s)
Paul Lemaillet, Catherine C. Cooksey, Jeeseong Hwang, Heidrun Wabnitz, Dirk Grosenick, Lin Yang, David W. Allen
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

Interfacial Electrochemistry in Liquids Probed with Photoemission Electron Microscopy

December 20, 2017
Author(s)
Slavomir Nemsak, Evgheni Strelcov, Tomas Duchon, Hongxuan Guo, Johanna Hackl, Alexander Yulaev, Ivan Vlassiouk, David Mueller, Andrei Kolmakov
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

L-Edge Spectroscopy of Dilute, Radiation-Sensitive Systems Using a Transition-Edge-Sensor Array

December 7, 2017
Author(s)
Daniel S. Swetz, William B. Doriese, Joseph W. Fowler, Johnathon D. Gard, Gene C. Hilton, Kelsey M. Morgan, Galen C. O'Neil, Joel N. Ullom
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)

Symmetry-breaking inelastic wave-mixing atomic magnetometry

December 1, 2017
Author(s)
Feng Zhou, Edward W. Hagley, Lu Deng, Chengjie Zhu
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

CRITICALLY EVALUATED SPECTRAL DATA FOR NEUTRAL CARBON (C I)

November 22, 2017
Author(s)
Haris Kunari, Alexander Kramida
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

The effect of self-consistent potentials on EXAFS analysis

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Bruce Ravel, M. Newville, Josh J. Kas, John J. Rehr
We present an EXAFS-oriented theory program based on the popular Feff8 and providing an application programming interface designed to make it easy to integrate high-quality theory into EXAFS analysis software. We then use this new code to examine the
