The First High-Resolution Analysis of the 10 [mu]m Absorption of Thioformaldehyde

October 8, 2007
Author(s)
J.- M. Flaud, Walter J. Lafferty, A. Perrin, Y S. Kim, Helmut Beckers
The 10 m region of thioformaldehyde (H2CS) has been recorded at high resolution (0.005 cm-1) using a Fourier transform spectrometer. H2CS was produced by low pressure pyrolysis of a gas flow of C3H5SCH3 in Ar at 560oC or CH3SCl at 1150o C which was

Field-free ringing of nanomagnets
