The far-infrared spectroscopic surveyor (FIRSS)

Far-infrared Spectroscopic Study of Diamond Films

High quality polycrystalline diamond films grown on Si substrates by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition were characterized in a far-infrared spectroscopic study. The spectroscopic transmissivity data were used to derive a model for the complex refractive index (n – ik) as a function of wavelength in the 10 to 200 cm-1 frequency regime. Similar transmissivity and reflectivity da...

A far-infrared spectroscopic survey of intermediate redshift (ultra) luminous infrared galaxies

We present Herschel far-IR photometry and spectroscopy as well as ground-based CO observations of an intermediate redshift (0.21 z 0.88) sample of Herschel-selected (ultra)-luminous infrared galaxies (LIR > 1011.5 L⊙). With these measurements, we trace the dust continuum, far-IR atomic line emission, in particular [C ii] 157.7μm, as well as the molecular gas of z ∼ 0.3 luminous and ultraluminou...

The Far Infrared And

We have repeated our earlier observations of the Infrared and submllllmeter background radiation. While the measured values of the infrared background radiation remain unchanged, we have failed to observe the high flux previously reported for the 0.4 to 1.3 mm range. This indicates that the flux cannot have been galactic or cosmic, but further observations are needed to rule out a solar cycle d...

Far Infrared and Raman Spectroscopic Investigations of the Lattice :Modes of Crystalljne Thiophene

Vibrational spectroscopic measurements combined with the lattice statics and lattice mod es calculations have been applied in order to derive the most probable structure of the low temperature (stable) phase V of thiophene (below 112 K). The far infrared spectrum has been recorded from 135 to 30 cm? of this phase of thiophene at 20 K. The low frequency Raman spectrum from 150 to 10 cm" has also...
