Fourier transform spectroscopy and direct potential fit of a shelflike state: application to E(4)1Σ(+) KCs.
2011
The paper presents high-resolution experimental study and a direct potential construction of a shelflike state E(4)(1)Σ(+) of the KCs molecule converging to K(4(2)S) + Cs(5(2)D) atomic limit; such data are of interest for selecting optical paths for producing and monitoring cold polar diatomics. The collisionally enhanced laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra corresponding to both spin-allowed E(4)(1)Σ(+) → X(1)(1)Σ(+) and spin-forbidden E(4)(1)Σ(+) → a(1)(3)Σ(+) transitions of KCs were recorded in visible region by Fourier transform spectrometer with resolution of 0.03 cm(-1). Overall about 1650 rovibronic term values of the E(4)(1)Σ(+) state of (39)K(133)Cs and (41)K(133)Cs isotopologu…
3D spectral imaging with synchrotron Fourier transform infrared spectro-microtomography
2013
We report Fourier transform infrared spectro-microtomography, a nondestructive three-dimensional imaging approach that reveals the distribution of distinctive chemical compositions throughout an intact biological or materials sample. The method combines mid-infrared absorption contrast with computed tomographic data acquisition and reconstruction to enhance chemical and morphological localization by determining a complete infrared spectrum for every voxel (millions of spectra determined per sample).
Making Broad Proteome Protein Measurements in 1−5 min Using High-Speed RPLC Separations and High-Accuracy Mass Measurements
2005
The throughput of proteomics measurements that provide broad protein coverage is limited by the quality and speed of both the separations as well as the subsequent mass spectrometric analysis; at present, analysis times can range anywhere from hours (high throughput) to days or longer (low throughput). We have explored the basis for proteomics analyses conducted on the order of minutes using high-speed capillary RPLC combined through on-line electrospray ionization interface with high-accuracy mass spectrometry (MS) measurements. Short 0.8-microm porous C18 particle-packed 50-microm-i.d. capillaries were used to speed the RPLC separations while still providing high-quality separations. Both…
Fourier-transform spectroscopy of (4)1Σ+→A 1Σ+−b 3Π,A 1Σ+−b 3Π →X1Σ+, and (1)3Δ1→bΠ0±3 transitions in KCs and deperturbation treatment ofA 1Σ+andb 3Π…
2013
High resolution Fourier-transform spectroscopy data of term values in the spin-orbit (SO) coupled first excited A 1Σ+ and b 3Π states in KCs were obtained from (4)1Σ+ → A 1Σ+ − b 3Π, A 1Σ+ − b 3Π → X1Σ+, and (1)3Δ1→bΠ0±3 spectra of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). About 3000 new rovibronic term values of the A 1Σ+ and b3ΠΩ states were obtained with an uncertainty about 0.01 cm−1 and added to the previously obtained 3439 term values in Kruzins et al. [Phys. Rev. A 81, 042509 (2010)] and 30 term values of the b3Π0+ state levels below the A 1Σ+ state in Tamanis et al. [Phys. Rev. A 82, 032506 (2010)]. The data field was extended considerably, going down to vibrational level vb = 0 and up in e…
Analytical Study of a Resinous Material Used as Sealing in Ancient Pottery Found in an Archaeological Site by Thermally Assisted Hydrolysis Methylati…
2009
Abstract A resin sample was found in the archaeological site of Lixus (Morocco), belonging to the second century BC. The resinous material was found inside an amphora containing iron remains used in the plug as sealing material to hermetically close the pottery. The resinous sample was studied by several analytical techniques, as thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (THM–GC–MS), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and light microscopy. The material was identified as a Pinaceae resin. Therefore, a modern pine resin was also analyzed to consider the influence of aging in the archaeological sample. The ancient material was found not t…
Extended Fourier-transform spectroscopy studies and deperturbation analysis of the spin-orbit coupled A1Σ+ and b3Π states in RbCs.
2014
The article presents a study of the strongly spin-orbit coupled singlet A(1)Σ(+) and triplet b(3)Π states of the RbCs molecule, which provide an efficient optical path to transfer ultracold molecules to their rovibrational ground state. Fourier-transform A(1)Σ(+) - b(3)Π → X(1)Σ(+) and (4)(1)Σ(+) → A(1)Σ(+) - b(3)Π laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra were recorded for the natural mixture of the (85)Rb(133)Cs and (87)Rb(133)Cs isotopologues produced in a heat pipe oven. Overall 8730 rovibronic term values of A(1)Σ(+) and b(3)Π states were determined with an uncertainty of 0.01 cm(-1) in the energy range [9012, 14087] cm(-1), covering rotational quantum numbers J ∈ [6, 324]. An energy-ba…
On-line vapor-phase generation combined with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry
2008
We present a critical review of on-line vapor-phase generation combined with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry for detection. We discuss different experimental approaches developed for generating the vapor phase based on different principles (e.g., thermal volatilization, acid-base, redox reaction and covalent hydride generation). Using examples of applications, we try to demonstrate the analytical potential of on-line vapor-phase generation in vibrational spectrometry in order to improve the selectivity and the sensitivity of the measurement step and to make environmentally-friendly procedures available for problem solving in the analytical laboratory. We pay special attention to int…

Low-cost set-up for Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy in diamond anvil cell from 4000 to 400 cm−1
2011
An experimental set-up for Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) studies at high pressure in the mid-IR region (400–4000 cm−1) is constructed using a compact TEO-400 FTIR interferometer module and an external microscopic optical bench with cassegrain focusing objectives. Cassegrain-type reflective objectives act as an excellent beam condenser that facilitates the interfacing between FTIR spectrometer and diamond anvil cell. This set-up is capable of recording transmission and reflection infrared spectra at high pressure. Preliminary results are reported both in the reflection (pressure dependence of polar phonons in CuWO4) and transmission configuration (polarized light absorption of polar phon…
On-line gradient liquid chromatography–Fourier transform infrared spectrometry determination of sugars in beverages using chemometric background corr…
2008
Abstract An on-line gradient reversed phase liquid chromatography–Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (LC–FTIR) method was developed for the determination of fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose in beverages. Improved chromatographic resolution was obtained using a linear gradient from 75 to 55% (v/v) acetonitrile in water in 15 min. Changes in the background spectra were corrected employing “univariate background correction based on the use of a reference spectra matrix” (UBC-RSM) and using the ratio of absorbance (AR) at 2256 and 2253 cm −1 for the identification of the eluent spectra within the RSM. The method provided limits of detection in the order of 0.75 mg ml −1 . The precisi…
