Long-Range and Short-Range Structure of Proton-Conducting Y:BaZrO3
2011
Yttrium-doped barium zirconate (BZY) is the most promising candidate for proton-conducting ceramics and has been extensively studied in recent years. The detailed features of the crystal structure, both short-range and long-range, as well as the crystal chemistry driving the doping process, are largely unknown. We use very high resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD) to resolve the crystal structure, which is very slightly tetragonally distorted in BZY, while the local environment around Zr4+ and Y3+ is probed with extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and the symmetry and vibrations are investigated by using Raman spectroscopy. It is found that barium zirconate shows some degree …
Application of time-resolved spectroscopy to concentration measurements in gas mixtures
2001
1296-2147; Concentration measurements using femtosecond Raman Induced Polarization Spectroscopy (RIPS) are performed in binary gas mixtures CO2-N2 and CO2-N2O at room temperature. The principle of these measurements is based on the nonlinear rotational time response of each molecular component of the mixture, The general form of this molecular response is a series of periodic transients with a period related to the rotational constant Be The relative strength of the individual responses allows an accurate determination of the concentration. Two techniques are presented using either two pulses (one pump and one probe) or three pulses (two pumps and one probe). (C) 2001 Academie des sciences/…
Izmaiņu ieviešanas analīze stingri regulētā vidē lielajā uzņēmumā
2021
Mūsdienas tehnoloģijas piedāvā plašas izaugsmes iespējas uzņēmējdarbībai, tāpēc uzņēmumiem kļūst ar vien grūtāk sekot līdzi un analizēt savu iekšējo darbplūsmu. Lai to izdarītu, uzņēmumiem ir jāīsteno stingru kontroles politiku, kas varētu palīdzēt regulēt un standartizēt darba izpildi. Turklāt augsto tehnoloģiju attīstības tempu dēļ, uzņēmumi turpina īstenot jaunus risinājumus, kurus arī ir jākontrolē. Maģistra darbā tiks analizētas vairākas uzņēmuma “X” iekšējo procesu uzlabošanas un optimizācijas iniciatīvas ar IT palīdzību. Analīzes rezultātā būs izteikti ieteikumi un labas prakses, kuras varētu palīdzēt saprast kam ir nepieciešams pievērst uzmanību pirms procesu izmaiņas ieviešanas.
Compositional and microhardness findings in tooth affected by X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets
2020
Background This study aimed to evaluate the X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR)-related compositional and microhardness tooth aspects. Material and Methods One affected and one non-affected teeth by XLHR were sectioned transversely, and each section was separated for Micro-Raman spectroscopy, Knoop microhardness and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (SEM-EDS). The outcomes of these analyses were assessed. Results Outcomes of Raman analysis of inorganic/organic components (~958/~1250+~1450 cm−1) and carbonate/phosphate (~1070/~958 cm−1) ratios showed areas of altered enamel and dentin (interglobular dentin, calcospherites, and mantle dentin) with an…
Collisional Broadening of Rotational Lines in the Stimulated Raman Pentad Q-Branch of CD4
1992
Self- and argon-broadening coefficients are reported for a number of Raman Q-branch transitions in the nu(1) and nu(2) + nu(4) bands of (C-12)D4 at room temperature (296 K). The coefficients display a variation with j and with C exp n (symmetry species A, E, F) that is essentially independent of collision partner and which is similar to the j- and C exp n-dependence found in previous measurements of the IR line-broadening coefficients. The rotationally inelastic collision rates previously measured by Foy et al. (1988) for (C-13)D4 (V4 = 0, 1) in collision with (C-13)D4 or Ar account for only a part of the Raman broadening rate, suggesting possibly significant contributions to the linewidths…
Femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman-scattering polarization beat spectroscopy of I2–Xe complex in solid krypton
2006
Time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman-scattering (CARS) measurements are carried out to study the interaction between xenon atom and iodine molecule in a solid krypton matrix. Interference between the CARS polarizations of the "free" and complexed iodine molecules is observed, while the quantum beats of the complex are not detected due to low concentration. Vibrational analysis based on the polarization beats yields accurate molecular constants for the I2-Xe complex. The harmonic frequency of the I2-Xe complex is found to be redshifted by 0.90 cm-1 when compared to the free I2, whereas the anharmonicity is approximately the same. The dephasing rate of the complex is found to be somewhat …
Vibrational Spectrometry Strategies for Quality Control of Procymidone in Pesticide Formulations
2005
Abstract Two vibrational spectrometry–based methodologies were developed for procymidone determination in wettable powdered pesticide formulations. The Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) procedure was based on the selective extraction of procymidone by chloroform and determination by peak area measurement between 1451 and 1441 cm−1, using a baseline correction established between 1490 and 1410 cm−1, and a precision of 0.4% and a limit of detection of 0.01% w/w procymidone for a sample mass of 25 mg were obtained. For FT‐Raman determination, the selected conditions were peak area measurement between 1005 and 995 cm−1 Raman shift, with a baseline correction fixed between 1030 and 947 cm−1, and…
Solid-phase FT-Raman determination of caffeine in energy drinks
2005
Abstract A solid-phase vibrational spectrometry-based methodology (solid-phase Fourier transform-Raman spectrometry, SP-FT-Raman) has been developed for caffeine determination in commercial energy drink samples. The Raman spectra of caffeine, fixed on a C18 solid phase packed into a glass tube of 5 mm i.d., was obtained directly between 3500 and 70 cm −1 . In order to quantify caffeine, Raman intensity between 573 and 542 cm −1 corrected using a baseline defined between 580 and 540 cm −1 was used. A repeatability of 3%, as relative standard deviation of five analysis of a 200 mg l −1 concentration, and a limit of detection of 18 mg l −1 were obtained. The SP-FT-Raman procedure provides a sa…
FT–Raman spectrometry determination of Malathion in pesticide formulations
2003
Abstract A fast and environmentally friendly method has been developed for Fourier transform–Raman (FT–Raman) spectrometry determination of Malathion in pesticide emulsifiable concentrate formulations. The method is based on the measurement of intensity peak height values at 1737 cm −1 Raman shift corrected using a baseline defined at 1900 cm −1 . Samples were diluted with CHCl 3 and the FT–Raman spectra collected in back-scattering mode over 3.3 min at a nominal resolution of 4 cm −1 accumulating 50 scans per spectra and using a laser power of 1250 mW. The developed procedure provided a limit of detection of 1.8% w/w in the original sample. Results found by FT–Raman spectrometry were stati…
High spatial resolution analysis of the iron oxidation state in silicate glasses using the electron probe
2018
The iron oxidation state in silicate melts is important for understanding their physical properties, although it is most often used to estimate the oxygen fugacity of magmatic systems. Often high spatial resolution analyses are required, yet the available techniques, such as μrXANES and μMössbauer, require synchrotron access. The flank method is an electron probe technique with the potential to measure Fe oxidation state at high spatial resolution but requires careful method development to reduce errors related to sample damage, especially for hydrous glasses. The intensity ratios derived from measurements on the flanks of FeLα and FeLβ X-rays (FeLβf/FeLαf) over a time interval (time-depend…
