Interrogating the Carbon and Oxygen K-edge NEXAFS of a CO2-dosed Hyperbranched Aminosilica

December 19, 2014
Author(s)
Laura Espinal, Martin L. Green, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Watcharop Chaikittisilp, Jarod C. Horn, Miles Sakwa-Novak, Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Nicholas Brunelli, Christopher Jones
Near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy was used to study the adsorption of CO2 in a hyperbranched aminosilica (HAS) compound, a porous solid state material with great potential for carbon capture applications. After dosing a

December 17, 2014
Author(s)
Francis J. Lovas, J. Sobhanadrib
The microwave spectrum of the molecular complex of acetonitrile (CH3CN) with water (H2O) has been studied with a pulsed-beam Fourier Transform Microwave Spectrometer (FTMW) from a gas sample of 1 % by volume of CH3CN in Ar flowed over a water sample. The

Walter J. Lafferty, Jean-Marie Flaud, Fridolin Kwabia
Absolute individual line intensities of numerous transitions of the fundamental ν15, ν12 and ν5 bands of oxirane (ethylene oxide, cyc-C2H4O) have been measured in the 790-940 cm-1 region using seven high-resolution Fourier transform spectra recorded at 0

Justin M. Shaw, Patrik Grychtol, Dmitriy Zusin, Ronny J. Knut, Tenio Popmintchev, Hans T. Nembach, Avner Fleischer, Henry Kapteyn, Margaret Murnane, Ofer Kfir, Oren Cohen
Circularly-polarized extreme UV and X-ray radiation provides valuable access to the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of materials. To date, this capability was available only at large-scale X-ray free-electron lasers or synchrotrons. Here we

Observations of Dicke narrowing and speed dependence in air-broadened CO2 lineshape near 2.06 um

Author(s)
Thinh Q. Bui, David Long, Agata Cygan, Vincent T. Sironneau, Daniel Hogan, Priyanka M. Rapusinghe, Mitchio Okumura
Frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) was used to study CO2 lineshapes in the (20013)←(00001) band centered near 2.06 um. Two rovibrational transitions were chosen for this study to measure non-Voigt collisional effects for air

Frequency-Comb-Based Remote Sensing of Greenhouse Gases over Kilometer Air Paths

Greg B. Rieker, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, William C. Swann, Jonathan Kofler, Alexander M. Zolot, Laura C. Sinclair, Esther Baumann, Christopher L. Cromer, G. Petron, Colm Sweeney, P P. Tans, Ian R. Coddington, Nathan R. Newbury
We demonstrate frequency comb tooth-by-tooth measurements of atmospheric gas absorption across a 2-km, turbulent, open-air path through coherent dual-comb spectroscopy. High accuracy, high signal-to-noise transmission spectra are acquired spanning 5990 to

Extended and Revised Analysis of Singly Ionized Tin: Sn II

October 28, 2014
Author(s)
K. Haris, Alexander Kramida, A. Tauheed
The electronic structure of singly ionized tin (Sn II) is partly a one-electron and partly a three-electron system with ground configuration 5s25p. The excited configurations are of the type 5s2nℓ in the one-electron part, and 5s5p2, 5p3 and 5s5pnℓ (nℓ =

Path degeneracy and EXAFS analysis of disordered materials

October 24, 2014
Author(s)
Bruce D. Ravel
The analysis of EXAFS data measured on a material with a disordered local configuration environment around the absorbing atom can be challenging due to the proliferation of photoelectron scattering paths that must be considered in the analysis. In the case

Inhibition of cellular proliferation and enhancement of hydrogen peroxide production in fibrosarcoma cell line by weak radio frequency magnetic fields

September 23, 2014
Author(s)
Pablo Castello, Iain Hill, Lucas Portelli, Frank Barnes, Robert J. Usselman, Carlos Martino
This study presents experimental data for the effects of weak radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production and cellular growth rates of fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells in vitro. Cells were exposed either to 45mT static magnetic

Bromination of marine particulate organic matter through oxidative mechanisms

September 14, 2014
Author(s)
Bruce D. Ravel, Alessandra C. Leri, Kathleen Thornton, Lawrence M. Mayer
Although bromine is considered conservative in seawater, it exhibits a well established correlation with organic carbon in marine sediments. This carbon-bromine association was recently attributed to covalent bonding, with organobromine in sinking
