This thesis is devoted to the study of the optical properties of small metal clusters and metal cluster organic compounds. For this purpose a ultra-high vacuum (UHV) experimental apparatus has been built which allows for the deposition of mass selected neu ...
The dynamics and bonding of the complex hydride LiBH4 have been investigated by vibrational spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT). The combination of infrared, Raman, and inelastic neutron-scattering (INS) spectroscopies on hydrided and deuterat ...
This study compares the structure and decomposition behaviors of theα,β, and γ polymorphs of Ca(BH 4) 2 for hydrogen storage. Samples with different polymorphic contents are characterized using powder X-ray diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy. Decompo ...
There has been a very strong development of the sensors based on surface plasmon resonance during the last thirty years, mostly for biological and biomedical applications. If the first experiments in this field were carried out at the beginning of the 20t ...
A lamella of uranium dioxide (similar to 10 x similar to 10 x similar to 0.02-0.20 mu m) was produced by focused ion beam for transmission electron and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) examinations. This sample allows quantitative analysis of the E ...
Temperature-dependent sum-frequency scattering spectroscopy is used to study the properties of hexadecane and dodecane oil droplets in water. The sum-frequency scattering spectra contain vibrational bands that correspond to the symmetric and antisymmetric ...
In this thesis, I describe the design and first applications of a new molecular-beam/surface-science ultra-high vacuum apparatus. The new machine combines rovibrational state-selective infrared pumping of gas-phase reactants with reflection absorption infr ...
A combined DFT/vibrational spectroscopy approach is used to determine the interactions of the 1,3-dimethylimidazolium ([Mmim]+) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ([Emim]+) cations and [BF4]- anions with each other in the liquid state and with Pd nanoparticle ...
We present a simple electron time of flight spectrometer for time resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of liquid samples using a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) source produced by high-harmonic generation. The field free spectrometer coupled with the time-preservi ...
The formation of nickel oxide nanolayers by oxidizing Ni overlayers on Rh(111) has been investigated and their structures are reported as a function of the nickel coverage and oxygen pressure. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffra ...
