Infrared Microspectroscopy study of insulin crystals at high pressure

Infrared microspectroscopy station at BL43IR of SPring-8

BL43IR of SPring-8 has been constructed for the infrared materials researches, and it covers a wide spectral range from 100 to 20,000 cm . The microspectroscopy station of this BL has a spatial resolution smaller than 10 lm in diameter in the mid-infrared region without apertures. This station had been mainly used within mid-infrared region, and its performance in the far-infrared region had no...

Single crystals of superconducting SmFeAsO1−xFy grown at high pressure

Single crystals of SmFeAsO1−xFy of a size up to 120 × 100 μm2 have been grown from NaCl/KCl flux at a pressure of 30 kbar and temperature of 1350–1450 ◦C using the cubic anvil high-pressure technique. The superconducting transition temperature of the obtained single crystals varies between 45 and 53 K. Obtained crystals are characterized by a full diamagnetic response in low magnetic fields and...

In situ high-pressure study of diborane by infrared spectroscopy.

As the simplest stable boron hydride in its condensed phase, diborane exhibits an interesting structural chemistry with uniquely bridged hydrogen bonds. Here we report the first room-temperature infrared (IR) absorption spectra of solid diborane compressed to pressures as high as 50 GPa using a diamond anvil cell. At room temperature and 3.5 GPa, the IR spectrum of diborane displays rich sharpl...
