Identification and Quantification of Six-Ring C26H16 Cata-Condensed Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in a Complex Mixture of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons from Coal Tar

October 8, 2015

Author(s)

Jorge O. Ona Ruales, Arun K. Sharma, Stephen A. Wise

We applied a combination of normal-phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) with ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for the fractionation, identification, and quantification of six ring cata-condensed C26H16

Top-top internal rotation coupling in the microwave spectrum of pinacolone

October 8, 2015

Author(s)

Jon T. Hougen, Yueyue Zhao, Ha Vanh L. Nguyen, Wolfgang Stahl

The molecular beam Fourier-transform microwave spectrum of pinacolone (methyl tert-butyl ketone) has been measured in several regions between 4 and 40 GHz. Fits of the assigned spectrum using several computer programs based on different models for treating

A hybrid program for fitting rotationally resolved spectra of floppy molecules with one large-amplitude rotatory motion and one large-amplitude oscillatory motion

October 6, 2015

Author(s)

Isabelle Kleiner, Jon T. Hougen

A new hybrid-model fitting program for methylamine-like molecules has been developed, based on an effective Hamiltonian in which the ammonia-like inversion motion is treated using a tunneling formalism, while the internal-rotation motion is treated using

Quantitative, comparable coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy: correcting errors in phase retrieval

October 5, 2015

Author(s)

Young J. Lee, Marcus T. Cicerone

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microspectroscopy has demonstrated significant potential for biological and materials imaging. To date, however, the primary mechanism of disseminating CARS spectroscopic information is through pseudocolor

Microwave Rotational Spectral Study of SO2-CO

October 2, 2015

Author(s)

Francis J. Lovas, Matthew K. Sprague

The microwave spectrum of the molecular complex of sulfur dioxide (SO2) with carbon monoxide (CO) has been studied with a pulsed-beam Fourier Transform Microwave Spectrometer (FTMW) from a pair of gas samples of 1 % by volume of SO2 and CO in Ar, and

CCQM Pilot Study P-140; Quantitative Surface Analysis of Multi-Element Alloy Films

October 1, 2015

Author(s)

David S. Simons, Christopher W. Szakal, William A. Osborn, Kyung Joong Kim

A pilot study for the quantitative surface analysis of multi-element alloy films has been performed by the Surface Analysis Working Group (SAWG) of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance (CCQM). The aim of this pilot study is to ensure the

Improving acoustic determinations of the Boltzmann constant with mass spectrometer measurements of the molar mass of argon

September 30, 2015

Author(s)

Inseok Yang, Laurent Pitre, Michael R. Moldover, Jintao Zhang, XiaoJuan Feng, Jin Seog Kim

We determined accurate values of ratios among the average molar masses MAr of 9 argon samples using two completely-independent techniques: (1) mass spectroscopy and (2) measured ratios of acoustic resonance frequencies. The two techniques yielded mutually

Mid-infrared spectroscopy beyond the diffraction limit via direct measurement of photothermal effect

September 30, 2015

Author(s)

Aaron M. Katzenmeyer, Glenn E. Holland, Jungseok Chae, Alan H. Band, Kevin Kjoller, Andrea Centrone

An atomic force microscope equipped with temperature sensitive probes was used to measure locally the photothermal effect induced by IR light absorption. This novel instrument opens a pathway to correlated topographical, chemical composition, and thermal

The Predictive Power of the Annellation Theory: The Case of the C26H16 Cata-Condensed Benzenoid Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

September 30, 2015

Author(s)

Jorge O. Ona Ruales, Ruiz-Morales Yosadara

The Annellation Theory was applied for the establishment of the locations of maximum absorbance for the p and β bands in the UV-Vis spectra of 8 benzenoid cata-condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs, with molecular formula C26H16 and no available

Metal-Dielectric-Metal Resonators with Deep Subwavelength Dielectric Layers Increase the Near-Field SEIRA Enhancement

September 24, 2015

Author(s)

Jungseok Chae, Basudev Lahiri, John M. Kohoutek, Glenn Holland, Henri Lezec, Andrea Centrone

Plasmonic nanostructures presenting either structural asymmetry or metal-dielectric-metal (M-D-M) architecture are commonly used structures to increase the quality factor and the near-field confinement in plasmonic materials. This characteristic can be

Time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS) of electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) doped with redox active species

September 24, 2015

Author(s)

Brian G. Alberding, Edwin J. Heilweil

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are three-dimensional coordination polymers that are well known for large pore surface area and their ability to adsorb molecules from both the gaseous and solution phases. In general, MOFs are electrically insulating, but

In-source collision induced dissociation of inorganic explosives for mass spectrometric signature detection and chemical imaging

September 23, 2015

Author(s)

Thomas P. Forbes, Edward R. Sisco

In-source collision induced dissociation (CID) coupled with laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) demonstrated the trace detection, bulk quantification, and chemical imaging of inorganic explosives and components. The incorporation of in

The ABCs of Using Standard Reference Materials in the Analysis of Foods and Dietary Supplements: A Practical Guide

September 16, 2015

Author(s)

Katherine E. Sharpless, David L. Duewer, Katrice A. Lippa, Andrew L. Rukhin

Although "nutraceuticals" and "functional foods" seem to be ill-defined terms, both are often used to indicate a food that contains compounds providing benefits beyond basic nutrition, often with the expectation that these compounds are protective against
