Raman and FTIR transform-infra red (FT-IR) spectroscopies of fluorescein in aqueous solutions have been investigated in the pH range from 9.1 to 5.4. At pH 9.1 fluorescein is in the dianion form. At pH 5.4, fluorescein is a mixture of monoanion (
Rotationally resolved S 1 S o fluorescence excitation spectra of 2-chloronaphthalene (2CIN) are measured using a newly constructed UV laser/molecular beam spectrometer. More than 1000 well-resolved rotational lines are recorded for the two overlapping band

Broad-bandwidth vibrationally-resolved sum frequency generation spectroscopy has been used to measure the molecular orientation distribution at polystyrene/dielectric interfaces. A novel microcavity structure allows isolation of the free or buried
It is now customary for the effects of elastic-electron scattering to be ignored in measurements of the thicknesses of overlayer films by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It is known, however, that elastic scattering can cause the effective

A description is given of data resources that are available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger-electron spectroscopy. NIST currently has three databases available: an XPS
An overview is given of current work projects of Technical Committee 201 on Surface Chemical Analysis of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISTO/TC 201 has subcommittees for Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), secondary ion mass
We report on a fully nonequilibrium theory of the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) through resonances induced by impurity atoms adsorbed on metal surfaces. The theory takes into account the effect of the tunneling current and finite bias on the system
Reported are the results of a Raman spectroscopic study of a set of chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD) diamond wafers of known thermal conductivity (k). The spectra are obtained at laser wavelengths 514.5, 785 and 1064 nm. The Raman features of these spectra

To achieve the future goals for logic device dielectric film thickness and composition metrology, a set of well-characterized calibration reference material standards are needed for validating real-time diagnostic techniques used during production. However
This, the second in a series of articles present a new framework for considering the computation of uncertainty in electron excited X-ray microanalysis measurements, will discuss matrix correction. The framework presented in the first article will be
The NBS involvement in the development of single atom electron spectroscopy at surfaces, as realized in field emission resonance tunneling and reported in the seminal paper by E.W. Plummer, J.W. Gadzuk and R.D. Young is described.
We present results in the final part of a three-part of a three-part study employing standard test data (STD) to estimate errors in peak parameters derived from data analysis procedures used in x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS-STD are simulated

In situ and ex situ VR-SFG studies of mercaptopropylsulfonate (MPSA) molecules adsorbed on metal/electrolyte interfaces prove the molecular conformation is sensitive to hydration. MPSA catalyses electrodeposition of copper interconnection for semiconductor
A short description is given of data resources that are available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). NIST currently has three databases available: an XPS Database (SRD 20), an Elastic
The paper first overviews the CIE system of colorimetry, covering CIE 1931 color matching functions, XYZ tristimulus values, the x, y diagram, the 1976 u', v' diagram, and the evolvement of CIELUV and CIELAB color spaces and color difference formulae. The

Near-field Raman spectroscopy can be used to obtain images with both chemical specificity and the subwavelength spatial resolution of near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). In the absence of signal intensification factors, such as surface

An improved x-ray microscope with a fully electronic CCD detector system has been constructed that allows improved laboratory-based microstructural investigations of materials with hard x-rays. It uses the Kirkpatrick-Baez multilayer mirror design to form
Standard test data for x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS-STD) have been developed for determining bias and random error in peak parameters derived from curve fitting in XPS. The XPS-STD are simulated C 1s spectra from spline polynomial models of
