Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is an indispensable tool for many practical applications including material analysis and sensing. Existing IR spectroscopy techniques face challenges related to the inferior performance and the high cost of IR-grade components. Here, we develop a new method, which allows studying properties of materials in the IR range using only visible light optics and detectors. It...

this paper presents a systematic study of the surface chemistry, porous texture and adsorptive characteristics of prepared new activated carbon using persian mesquite grain. several techniques and methodologies such as, proximate analysis, n2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscope (sem), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray photoe...

copper vanadate nanostructures were prepared via ex-situ precipitation approach in presence of schiff-base ligand (n,n׳ -buthylenebis(acetylacetone iminato)dianion = acacbn) as a new capping agent. the effect of different cu sources and ph on the size, morphology and size distribution of copper vanadate nanostructures was investigated. the as-prepared products were characterized using x-ray dif...

Interfacial oxidation and reduction of Prussian Blue (PB), KFe[Fe(CN)6]‚nH2O (n ≈ 10), powder were probed in situ with Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflection (FT-IR/ATR) spectroscopy. The combination of electrochemistry in the absence of liquid electrolyte with internal reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy was accomplished using a simple two-electrode sandwich-type cell in which a cry...

The aqueous speciation of selenium(iv) was elucidated by a combined approach applying quantum chemical calculations, infrared (IR), Raman, and (77)Se NMR spectroscopy. The dimerization of hydrogen selenite (HSeO3(-)) was confirmed at concentrations above 10 mmol L(-1) by both IR and NMR spectroscopy. Quantum chemical calculations provided the assignment of vibrational bands observed to specific...

J. Inst. Brew. 112(4), 333–339, 2006 It is not known if peats derived from different areas of Scotland have distinctive chemical constituents that could impact on malt whisky in discernible organoleptic ways. Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used as a high throughput screening method to investigate discrimination of a large number of peat samples from six different geographica...

In this work I present the study of the behaviour response of mouse broblasts NIH-3T3 under UVB radiation using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), the preferred method of infrared spectroscopy. FT-IR, in fact, it is convenient to study molecular cell processes because it has the potential to provide the identi cation of the vibrational modes of some of the major compounds (lipid, ...

Preparation and characterization of various complexes of cobalt (III)-amino acid system, especially cobalt (III) glycinato and cobalt (III) alaninato complexes are reported. The identification of the various isomers of these complexes is also reported. The various isomers are separated from their mixture by fractional crystallization. Each of these complexes has been characterized by observing ...

We present adaptive optics assisted spectroscopy of three quasars obtained with NACO at VLT. The high angular resolution achieved with the adaptive optics (∼ 0.08), joined to the diagnostic power of near-IR spectroscopy, allow us to investigate the properties of the innermost 100 pc of these quasars. In the quasar with the best adaptive optics correction, PG1126−041, we spatially resolve the Pa...

Nitrogen-doped thiophene plasma polymer [N-ThioPP] thin films were deposited by radio frequency (13.56 MHz) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Thiophene was used as organic precursor (carbon source) with hydrogen gas as the precursor bubbler gas. Additionally, nitrogen gas [N2] was used as nitrogen dopant. Furthermore, additional argon was used as a carrier gas. The as-grown poly...
