Muffin tin potentials are the standard tool for calculating the potential surface of a cluster of atoms for use in the analysis of extended x-ray-absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) data. The set of Cartesian coordinates used to define the positions of atoms

Chemical detectors are crucial tools for first responders during emergency-response scenarios and for continuous monitoring of public spaces for general safety. For those who depend upon chemical detectors for safety and security, ensuring that detectors
Organometal trihalide perovskite solar cells with lateral device architecture recently attracted interest because of their switchable photovoltaic effect, which potentially could be leveraged to realize transparent-electrode-free solar cells. However, the
Progress in nanotechnology is enabled by and dependent on the availability of measurement methods with spatial resolution commensurate with nanomaterials length scales. Chemical imaging techniques, such as scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy
In this editorial, we will provide a brief synopsis of the proceedings of the 2015 Workshop on the Determination of the Fundamental Constants, a broad overview of the fundamental constants themselves, and finally a short history of compilations and

Integrated path concentrations of ambient levels of carbon dioxide and methane have been measured during nighttime periods at NIST, Boulder (CO, USA), using a ground-based, eye-safe laser system. In this contribution, we describe the transmitter and
We demonstrate a method to measure the absorption spectra of gas and aerosol species across the visible and near-IR (500 to 840 nm) using a photoacoustic (PA) spectrometer and a pulsed supercontinuum laser source. Measurements of gas phase absorption

The high resolution absorption spectrum of spiropentane (C5H8) from 200 cm-1 to 4000 cm−1 has been measured and a detailed analysis is presented for eight bands in the region from 700 cm−1 to 2200 cm−1. Two fundamental perpendicular bands were analyzed

The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), with its consequences for the greenhouse effect and climate change, is being closely monitored by a variety of space-borne and ground-based remote sensing experiments. These experiments require a

The Hartmann-Tran profile (HTP), which has been recently recommended as a new standard in spectroscopic databases, is used to analyze spectra of several lines of H$_2$O diluted in N$_2$, SF$_6$, and in pure H$_2$O. This profile accounts for various

The atmospheric loss processes of N2O and CH4, their estimated uncertainties, lifetimes, and impacts on ozone abundance and long-term trends are examined using atmospheric model calculations and updated kinetic and photochemical parameters and uncertainty

We present the results of experiments that explore the influence of molecular self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on characteristics of spin injection into an organic semiconductor, Alq3 [tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum] from a ferromagnetic metal, Co. Two

Fourier transform spectra of oxirane (ethylene oxide, c-C2H4O) have been recorded in the 3.17 μm - 3.5 μm region with a resolution of 0.005 cm-1. In addition, a Raman spectrum covering the same spectral region was recorded at a resolution of 0.44 cm-1
