We present a detailed discussion of the complimentary fields of the application of two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) spectroscopy in comparison with two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D-NMR) spectroscopy. Transient 2D-IR (T2D-IR) spectroscopy of nonequilibrium ensembles is probably one of the most promising strengths of 2D-IR spectroscopy, as the possibilities of 2D-NMR spectroscopy ar...

stable homogeneous dispersions of carbon nanotubes (cnts) were prepared using ethanol as dispersing agent. then, using sol-gel method, dispersion in the hydroxyapatite matrix and its effects on the microstructure were investigated. the phase composition, chemical structure and morphological and size analyses were performed using xrd, ft-ir, sem, tem/saed/edx and raman spectroscopy. the influenc...

We present TIR-PTD spectroscopy, an IR-pump/VIS-probe method for the measurement of IR absorption spectra by means of photothermal deflectometry (PTD) enhanced by total internal reflection (TIR). It overcomes the limitations of IR spectroscopy for the study of opaque samples and allows molecular fingerprinting of IR-active liquids or solids. Another important advantage of the presented approach...

A method for obtaining high-quality 2D-IR spectra of gas-phase samples is presented. Time-resolved IR absorption spectroscopy techniques, such as 2D-IR spectroscopy, often require that beams are focused into the sample. This limits the exploitable overlapped path length through samples to a few millimeters. To circumvent this limitation, 2D-IR experiments have been performed within a hollow wav...

This research group is studying structure and dynamics of molecules and clusters by two-color double resonance spectroscopy. New spectroscopic methods will also be developed to observe the higher vibrational state under collision-free condition. A molecular cluster is a microscopic system of solution and/or crystal, and is thought to provide detailed information on relaxation and reaction dynam...

Infrared spectroscopy has been widely applied for the characterisation of various substances. Due to its sensitivity to the chemical information and architecture of the molecule, infrared spectroscopy can play an important role in new applications such as in the life-science field and not only in the traditional fields of physics and chemistry. Spectroscopic techniques are simple, reproducible,...
