Determination of Trace Sulfur in Biodiesel and Diesel Standard Reference Materials by Isotope Dilution Sector Field Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

November 14, 2013
Author(s)
Steven J. Christopher, Stephen E. Long, Renata Amais, Joaquim N?ga
A method is described for quantification of sulfur at low concentrations on the order of 10 µg g-1 in biodiesel and diesel fuels using double isotope dilution and sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID-SF-ICP-MS). Closed vessel

On the Determination of Carbon by PGAA

November 10, 2013
Author(s)
Rolf L. Zeisler, Rick L. Paul, Jeffrey A. Fagan, Zsolt R?vay, Stefan S?llradl
Determination of carbon was achieved with reduction of background in prompt gamma activation analysis.

Microsensor Analyses for Trace Targets over Extended Times in a Simulated Martian Environment

November 6, 2013
Author(s)
Kurt D. Benkstein, Phillip H. Rogers, Christopher B. Montgomery, Stephen Semancik, C. Jin, Baranidharan Raman
We have studied the performance of a chemical microsensor array in a simulated Martian environment, which involved a carbon dioxide-rich background with low oxygen content (0.15 %) at low pressure and temperature to mimic the conditions at the Martian

Methods for Optimizing and Extending the Performance of Chemiresistive Gas Microsensors

November 3, 2013
Author(s)
Kurt D. Benkstein, Alexander (. Vergara Tinoco, Christopher B. Montgomery, Baranidharan Raman, Stephen Semancik
This paper briefly describes varied concepts developed and implemented to enhance the performance of gas-phase chemical microsensors. The developments are illustrated for chemiresistive (MEMS) microdevices, and involve efficient, array-based approaches to

Fluctuation Enhanced Sensing (FES) with a Nanostructured Semiconducting Metal Oxide Film for Gas Detection and Classification

October 31, 2013
Author(s)
Bulent Ayhan, Chiman Kwan, Jin Zhou, Laszlo Kish, Kurt D. Benkstein, Phillip H. Rogers, Stephen Semancik
The feasibility of fluctuation-enhanced sensing (FES) for the detection and classification of different gases by using a single microsensor has been experimentally demonstrated. A nanostructured semiconducting metal oxide film has been used as a

Achieving Climate Change Absolute Accuracy in Orbit

October 28, 2013
Author(s)
Bruce Wielicki, Joseph P. Rice
The Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) mission will provide a metrology laboratory in orbit for the purpose of accurately measuring and attributing climate change. CLARREO measurements establish new climate change benchmarks

Connection between thermodynamics and dynamics of simple fluids in highly attractive pores

October 25, 2013
Author(s)
William P. Krekelberg, Vincent K. Shen, Daniel W. Siderius, Thomas M. Truskett, Jeffrey R. Errington
We investigate the structural and diffusive dynamics properties of a model fluid in highly-absorptive cylindrical pores. At subcritical temperatures, self diffusion displays three distinct regimes as a function of average pore density ρ: 1) a decrease in

Spectral line shapes investigation with Pound-Drever-Hall-locked frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy

October 23, 2013
Author(s)
A. Cygan, S. Wojtewicz, J. Domyslawska, Piotr Maslowski, Katarzyna E. Bielska, M. Piwinski, K. Stec, R.S. Trawinski, F Ozimek, C. Radzewicz, Hisashi Abe, T. Ido, Joseph T. Hodges, D Lisak, R. Ciurylo
A review of recent experiments involving a newly developed Pound-Drever-Hall-locked frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (PDH-locked FS-CRDS) system is presented. By comparison to standard FS-CRDS, the PDH lock of the probe laser to the ring

Measurement, Standards, and Data Needs for CO2 Capture Materials: A Critical Review

October 21, 2013
Author(s)
Laura Espinal, Dianne L. Poster, Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Andrew J. Allen, Martin L. Green
The commercial deployment of cost-effective carbon capture technology is hindered partially by the lack of a proper suite of materials-related standards, data, and measurement methods, which would provide critical information for the systematic design of

Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry For Quantitative Elemental Analysis Of Powdered Samples By Radiofrequency Pulsed Glow Discharge Time Of Flight Mass Spectrometry

October 15, 2013
Author(s)
John L. Molloy, Julian Malherbe, Fanny Claverie, Beatriz Fernandez, Aitor Alvarez-Toral, Alfredo Sanz-Medel, Rosario Pereiro
In recent years particular effort is being devoted to the development of pulsed glow discharges (PGDs) for mass spectrometry because this powering operation mode could offer important ionization analytical advantages. However, the capabilities of
