چکیده
Recent progress in analytical terahertz (THz) spectroscopy is reviewed with illustrative examples showing that it is an effective method for detecting and identifying intermolecular interactions in chemical compounds, such as hydrogen bonds. The unique and characteristic properties of THz waves, their significance to both science and industry, and the bases of one of the successful fields of analytical THz spectroscopy, namely THz time-domain spectroscopy and THz imaging for chemical analysis, are described. Preliminary quantitative studies are presented to show the potential of THz spectroscopy for the detection and identification of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in unknown mixture samples. The selective detection of intramolecular hydrogen bonds and the detection of intramolecular interactions in ice are also introduced. Some brief remarks are provided on future developments, the main issues, and the prospects for analytical THz spectroscopy.

Application of Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy in Detecting Gaps with Different Widths.
The characterization of fractures is of vital importance for studies in many industries. In the present work, we used terahertz reflection measurements to identify simulated gaps of different widths that resemble fractures. The time interval between pulses (Δt) was proportional to the distance between the interfaces. In addition, fast Fourier transform (FFT) corresponding to the waveforms was a...
متن کاملAnalytical Modeling and Optimization of Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy Experiments Using Photoswitches as Antennas
From classical charge transport equations and dipole radiation equations, we derive a simple analytical model for the signal detected in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy using photoconducting antennas. The validity of our model is checked by comparison to published calculated results and to experimental data we have measured. This expression depends mostly on the carrier lifetime in the anten...
متن کاملA membrane method for terahertz spectroscopy of amino acids.
We present here the results of applying a membrane method to terahertz (THz) transmittance spectroscopy of amino acids. Two kinds of amino acids dissolved in water or bovine serum were dropped and dried on polymer membranes. Absorbance spectra of the membranes were obtained with a GaP THz spectrometer. The frequency range was 0.6 - 6.0 THz and the line width was 3 GHz. Characteristic absorption...

متن کاملA novel analytical method for pharmaceutical polymorphs by terahertz spectroscopy and the optimization of crystal form at the discovery stage.
A novel analytical method for the determination of pharmaceutical polymorphs was developed using terahertz spectroscopy. It was found out that each polymorph of a substance showed a specific terahertz absorption spectrum. In particular, analysis of the second derivative spectrum was enormously beneficial in the discrimination of closely related polymorphs that were difficult to discern by powde...
