In order to reduce the large calibration matrix usually required for calibrating multiwavelength optical sensors, a simple algorithm based on the addn. in process of new stds. is proposed. A small calibration model, based on 14 stds., is periodically updat ...
We report here a measurement of electric dipole moments in highly vibrationally excited HDO molecules. We use photofragment yield detected quantum beat spectroscopy to determine electric field induced splittings of the J=1 rotational levels of HDO excited ...
JET's recent experimental programme proved that 'burning plasma diagnostics', i.e. neutron, alpha particle, He ash, and fuel mixture measurements, can provide very useful information about crucial physical aspects of great reactor relevance. First of all, ...
We present a method to measure continuous-wave ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectra based on the core-level absorption of circularly polarized x rays. The technique is demonstrated by using a monochromatic x-ray beam incident on an yttrium-iron-garnet sam ...
Rare earths and their compounds show many interesting physical phenomena caused by the complex electronic structure related to f electrons. External pressure can affect the hybridization between 5d band electrons and the more atomic-like 4f ones, giving ri ...
Multi-hydrogenated compounds detection based on photoacoustic (PA) spectroscopy is reported. Three near-infrared semiconductor lasers are used with a resonant PA cell operated in its first longitudinal mode to monitor methane, water vapour and hydrogen chl ...
Ligand field effects in lanthanide ions compounds have consequences for optical and magnetic spectroscopy. In the analysis of electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of Gd3+ complexes, a major role is played by the zero field splitting (ZFS), which is a hi ...
Since the bulk Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals are extremely brittle below 700 K, a quasicrystalline coating deposited on a steel substrate by thermal spraying was used for mechanical spectroscopy measurements at temperatures in the range of 300-800 K. The internal ...
Mechanical spectroscopy measurements were performed on decagonal quasicrystalline Al-Cu-Fe-Cr coatings of three different thicknesses deposited on a mild steel substrate. The mechanical loss spectra indicate that the internal friction is mostly caused by t ...
Proton insertion in polycryst. tungsten oxide has been studied with photoelectron spectroscopy and semi-empirical calcns. The W 4f spectra show growth of W5+ and W4+ oxidn. states as a function of inserted proton content in the crystal lattice. A concomita ...
