Description of the electronic structure of oxyhemoglobin using Fe L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy

June 11, 2025
Author(s)
Augustin Braun, Charles Titus, Michael Baker, Max Waters, James Yan, Sang-Jun Lee, Dennis Nordlund, William Doriese, Galen O'Neil, Daniel Schmidt, Daniel Swetz, Joel Ullom, Kent Irwin, Edward Solomon
The electronic structure of oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb), the O2-bound form of the oxygen carrier, has been controversial since the discovery of its diamagnetism in 1936. This study uses partial fluorescence yield Fe L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in

Uranium Particle Age Dating, Aggregation, and Model Age Best Estimators

June 9, 2025
Author(s)
Evan Groopman, Todd Williamson, Timothy Pope, Michael Bronikowski, Spencer M. Scott, Matthew Wellons
We present important aspects of uranium particle age dating by Large-Geometry Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (LG-SIMS) that can introduce bias and increase model age uncertainties, especially for small, young, and/or low-enriched particles. This metrology

Nicholas Derimow, Joseph Gauspohl, Alec Saville, Jake Benzing, Elisabeth Mansfield, Christopher Gump, Nikolas Hrabe
With the ever-increasing research and development into additive manufacturing (AM) via laser powder bed fusion (PBF-L) of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, there has been numerous efforts to introduce different coatings onto the metal powder feedstock in order to achieve

Manipulation of meniscus rise for in situ multiphase nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

April 8, 2025
Author(s)
Veruska Malave, Newell Moser, Edward Garboczi, Mark McLinden, Jason Widegren, Christopher Suiter
Our earlier work demonstrated that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a viable technique for in situ analysis of vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) of fluid mixtures and that inserting a capillary into the NMR sample tube allows the simultaneous

Suspect Screening of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in New Firefighter Turnout Gear Textiles

March 20, 2025
Author(s)
Andrew Maizel, Andre Thompson, Benjamin Place, Alix Rodowa, Jessica Reiner, Audrey Tombaugh, Halen Solomon, Brittany Stinger, Michelle Donnelly, Rick Davis
Firefighter turnout gear provides protection from exposure to flame, heat, and liquids, but has also been found to contain numerous per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Previous examinations of PFAS in firefighter turnout gear have predominantly

Certification of Standard Reference Material(R) 965c Glucose in Frozen Human Serum
