Analysis of Several High-Resolution Bands of Spiropentane, C5H8

June 15, 2015
Author(s)
Alfons Weber, A. Maki, J. E. Price, Jared Harzan, J. W. Nibler, T. Masiello, T Blake
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

High accuracy CO2 line intensities determined from theory and experiment

June 15, 2015
Author(s)
Joseph T. Hodges, Oleg L. Polyansky, Katarzyna E. Bielska, Melanie C. Ghysels, Lorenzo Lodi, N Zobov, Jonathan Tennyson
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

Application of the Hartmann-Tran profile to analysis of H2O spectra

June 9, 2015
Author(s)
D Lisak, A. Cygan, D Bermejo, J L. Domenech, Joseph T. Hodges, Ha Tran
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 impact of current CH4 and N2O atmospheric loss process uncertainties on calculated ozone abundances and trends

Author(s)
Vladimir L. Orkin, Eric L. Fleming, Christian George, Dwayne E. Heard, Charles H. Jackman, Michael J. Kurylo , Abdelwahid Mellouki , J B. Burkholder
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

Raman and Infrared spectra of the ?1 band of oxirane

May 14, 2015
Author(s)
Walter J. Lafferty, Jean-Marie Flaud, F. K. Kwabia Tchana
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

Chemically-Sensitive Bioimaging with Coherent Raman Scattering

April 29, 2015
Author(s)
Charles H. Camp, Marcus T. Cicerone
Raman scattering provides an intrinsic fingerprint of chemical composition. Spontaneous Raman spectroscopy has been used for many decades to interrogate biological materials and systems, but is not widely used for imaging due to relatively slow signal

Electron Spin Resonance Scanning Probe Spectroscopy for Ultra-Sensitive Biochemical Studies

April 22, 2015
Author(s)
Jason P. Campbell, Jason T. Ryan, Pragya R. Shrestha, Zhanglong Liu, Canute I. Vaz, Jihong Kim, Vasileia Georgiou, Kin P. Cheung
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy’s affinity for detecting paramagnetic free radicals, or spins, has been increasingly employed to examine a large variety of biochemical interactions. Such paramagnetic species are broadly found in nature and can

Direct correlation of charge transfer absorption with molecular donor:acceptor interfacial area via photothermal deflection spectroscopy

April 9, 2015
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Natalie Stingelin, Alberto Salleo, Martin Heeney, Aram Amassian, John deMello, James Bannock, Fiona H. Scholes, Scott Watkins, Zhuping Fei, Koen Vandewal
ABSTRACT: Here, we show that the Charge Transfer (CT) absorption signal in bulk (BHJ) solar cell blends, measured by photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS), is directly proportional to the density of molecular donor/acceptor interfaces. Since the

Frequency-agile, rapid scanning cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FARS-CRDS) measurements of the (30012) --(00001) near-infrared carbon dioxide band

April 3, 2015
Author(s)
David A. Long, Szymon S. Wojtewicz, Charles E. Miller, Joseph T. Hodges
We present new high accuracy measurements of the (30012)←(00001) CO¬2 band near 1575 nm recorded with a frequency-agile, rapid scanning cavity ring-down spectrometer. The resulting spectra were fit with the partially correlated, quadratic-speed-dependent

Cavity ring-down spectrometer for high-fidelity molecular absorption measurements

April 1, 2015
Author(s)
Vincent T. Sironneau, Hong Lin, Zachary Reed, Joseph T. Hodges
We present a cavity ring-down spectrometer which was developed for near-infrared measurements of laser absorption by atmospheric greenhouse gases. This system has several important attributes that make it possible to conduct broad spectral surveys and to

Magic wavelengths for the 5s-18s transition in rubidium

March 30, 2015
Author(s)
Elizabeth A. Goldschmidt, Roger C. Brown, James V. Porto, Robert Wyllie, Silvio B. Koller, M S. Safronova, Ulyana I. Safronova, David Norris
Magic wavelengths, for which there is no differential ac Stark shift for the ground and excited state of the atom, allow trapping of excited Rydberg atoms without broadening the optical transition. This is an important tool for implementing quantum gates

High resolution analysis of the nu1 and nu5 bands of phosgene 35Cl2CO and 35Cl37ClCO

March 2, 2015
Author(s)
Walter J. Lafferty, Jean-Marie Flaud, F. Kwabia Tchana, L. Manceron
Fourier transform spectra of phosgene (Cl2CO) have been recorded in the 11.75 μm and 5.47 μm spectral regions using a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer at resolutions of 0.00102 cm-1 and 0.0015 cm-1 respectively leading to the observation of the ν5 and ν1

Application of NMR-based Metabolomics for Environmental Assessment in the Great Lakes using Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) polymorpha)

Miki Watanabe, Katherine Meyer, Tyler Jackson, Tracey Johnston, Ed Johnson, Dan Bearden
Zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, in the Great Lakes is being monitored as a bio-indicator organism for environmental health effects by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Mussel Watch program. In order to monitor the environmental

Near-Field Asymmetries in Plasmonic Resonators

February 12, 2015

Vladimir Aksyuk, Basudev Lahiri, Glenn Holland, Andrea Centrone
Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy exploits the locally enhanced field surrounding plasmonic metamaterials to increase the sensitivity of infrared spectroscopy. Light polarization and incident angle are important factors for exciting

Two samples of the blue glass produced in the middle 19th century from the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, Thailand, were studied in order to understand the origin of its blue color. The oxide components and trace elements are quantitatively

Multiply-ionized Atoms Isolated at low energy in a Unitary Penning Trap

January 9, 2015
Author(s)
Joseph Tan, Shannon Hoogerheide, Samuel Brewer, Nicholas D. Guise
Ions extracted from the EBIT at NIST are slowed and captured in a Penning trap that is made very compact ( 150 cm3) by a unitary architecture. Measurements after 1 ms of ion storage indicate that the captured ions are distributed with 5(1) eV of energy
