We have used Mössbauer emission spectroscopy to study an oxygenated heme complex, produced in a frozen solution by nuclear decay from the isomorphous (57)Co-labeled compound. The Mössbauer parameters agree with those obtained by Mössbauer absorption spectroscopy of oxyhemoglobin. Thus, a nonprotein environment for iron can duplicate the unique oxyhemoglobin Mössbauer spectrum. The electronic st...

The element and orbital-specific electronic structure of thin films of the organic material N,N'-ethylene-bis(1,1,1-trifluoropentane-2,4-dioneiminato)-copper(II) (designated as Cu-TFAC) has been studied using a combination of synchrotron radiation-excited resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculati...

A review is presented on recent developments in ultra-soft x-ray emission spectroscopy. Especially, instrumental developments related to high resolution studies of free molecules and to the use of synchrotron radiation are discussed. The most recent results from three different applications of ultra-soft x-ray emission spectroscopy are presented: electron excited spectra of free molecules, mono...

The evolution of electron correlation in SrxCa1-xVO3 has been studied using a combination of bulk-sensitive resonant soft x-ray emission spectroscopy, surface-sensitive photoemission spectroscopy, and ab initio band structure calculations. We show that the effect of electron correlation is enhanced at the surface. Strong incoherent Hubbard subbands are found to lie ∼20% closer in energy to the ...

We carried out degradation analysis of a blue phosphorescent organic light emitting diode by both impedance spectroscopy and transient electroluminescence (EL) spectroscopy. The number of semicircles observed in the Cole-Cole plot of the modulus became three to two after the device was operated for 567 hours. Considering the effective layer thickness of the initial and degraded devices did not ...

Cathodoluminescence real-color imaging and spectroscopy were employed to study the properties of Ga(2)O(3) nanowires grown with different Sn/Ga ratios. The structures grown under Sn-rich conditions show large spectral emission variation, ranging from blue to red, with a green transition zone. Spectral emission changes correlate with changes in the chemical composition and structure found by ene...

Diet composition can be estimated in free-ranging animals by the use of n-alkane and long-chain fatty alcohol concentrations in feces. However, this technique involves relatively laborious and costly analytical techniques. Two spectroscopy techniques were investigated as a way of determining whether dietary differences are likely, thus indicating whether the more expensive and labor-intensive t...

more than 30 mineral elements have been found with different key functions in helping plants and animals to survive and live healthy. as a direct result, they have always attracted the attention of scientists. the quest is to find some efficient analytical and quantitative procedures in this study to determine some mineral and trace elements of iranian crocus sativus l. corms. several studies h...

Graphene oxide (GO) thin films were simply deposited on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate via a low-voltage electrodeposition. The GO and GO thin films were characterized by Zeta Potential, X-ray diffraction, Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrosc...
