The rapid and complete characterization of chemical reaction mechanisms is of the utmost importance in terms of chemical understanding, safety and efficiency. In this presentation a new small volume reaction calorimeter (25-45mL) is described. With this re ...
Gd(III) (S = 7/2) polyaminocarboxylates, used as contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), were studied in frozen solutions by High-Frequency-High-Field Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (HF-EPR). EPR spectra recorded at 240 GHz and temperatures ...
Non-polar solvation dynamics has been investigated using steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy of the NO A(2)Sigma(+)(3ssigma) Rydberg state in fluid Ar over a wide range of densities spanning the supercritical regime. Equilibrium molecular dyn ...
Asym. binary nanocrystals (BNCs), comprising one c-axis elongated anatase TiO2 section and one γ-Fe2O3 spherical domain attached together, are synthesized by heterogeneous nucleation of iron oxide onto the longitudinal facets of TiO2 nanorods in a ternary ...
A full multiple theor. model (MXAN) is applied to fit picosecond difference x-ray absorption spectra at the Ru L3 edge upon photoexcitation of aq. [RuII(bpy)3]2+. Fitting difference spectra allows an increase in sensitivity, such that slight structural cha ...
We present an EPR study of two Gd(III) complexes in aqueous solution at multiple temperatures and EPR frequencies. These two complexes, [Gd(TPATCN)] and [Gd(DOTAM)(H2O)]3+, display remarkably sharp lines (i.e. slow transverse electron spin relaxation) in c ...
The aim of this thesis is to optimise and gain fundamental information on two applications of photomedicine using fluorescence imaging and spectrofluorometry: (1) the detection of early bronchial cancer by autofluorescence imaging and (2) the endometrial a ...
Although LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramics) technology is an attractive solution for smart-packaging of micro-electronic devices, numerous studies are still underway to overcome the difficulties encountered during processing and application. These di ...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), the cause of which is unknown. Characterization of early SN pathology could prove beneficial in the treatment and diagnosis of PD. The present study sho ...
We present a 5 m long spectrometer for soft x rays to be used at a synchrotron radiation beamline for resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering in the 400-1600 eV energy range. It is based on a variable line spacing spher ...
