Atomic photoionization experiment by harmonic-generation spectroscopy

Monitoring atomic cluster expansion by high-harmonic generation.

High-harmonic generation is shown to be capable of providing time-resolved information about the particle density of a complex system. As an example, we study numerically high-harmonic generation from expanding xenon clusters in a pump-probe laser scheme, where the pump laser pulse induces the cluster explosion and the probe pulse generates harmonics in the expanding cluster. We show that the h...

Indirect Determination of Ascorbic Acid by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

A new and simple method followed by atomic absorption spectrometry has been developedfor indirect determination of ascorbic acid (AA). The proposed method was based on the oxidationof AA to dehydroascorbic acid with Cu2+cation(200mgL-1)in an ammonium thiocyanatesolution atpH2.4. AA reduces Cu2+to Cu+followed by the precipitation of Cu+ with SCN-. Then, the excess ofCu2+in the solution was measu...

Polarity of Liquid Interfaces by Second Harmonic Generation Spectroscopy

A spectroscopic method, based on the interface selectivity of second-harmonic generation, is used to obtain the polarity of liquid interfaces. In this paper the second-harmonic measurement of the spectrum of the polarity indicator molecule N,N′-diethyl-p-nitroaniline (DEPNA) at the air/water interface demonstrates the method. Two different approaches are used to measure the intramolecular charg...

Optical second harmonic generation chiral spectroscopy.

Chiral spectroscopic study: The intensities of second harmonic generation chiral spectroscopy are obtained from the dispersion of the nonlinear optical susceptibility components, as a function of wavelength for helicenbisquinone thin films (see figure). A single formalism fits all the data simultaneously, and the findings constitute an important milestone towards the development of a new experi...
