The optical properties of small noble metal clusters have been studied by absorption and fluorescence for sizes between 1 and 10 atoms. The experimental technique consists in depositing size-selected clusters in a neon matrix and analyzing with a spectrome ...
The optimal plasma parameters for plasma processing, such as deposition of microcrystalline silicon from silane and hydrogen, are generally chosen in steady-state discharge conditions. However, this steady state must be reached in a short time after plasma ...
Plasma created during EDM is systematically investigated with optical emission spectroscopy. Typical spectra show a strong H,,, and continuum radiation, with many lines emitted by impurities coming from electrode and workpiece materials. The dielectric mol ...
Plasma created during electrical discharge machining is systematically investigated using optical emission spectroscopy. Typical spectra show a strong H-alpha and continuum radiation, with many lines emitted by impurities coming from electrode and workpiec ...
The photoexcitation and photoionization dynamics of sodium atoms deposited on the surface of helium nanodroplets and aromatic molecules (aniline, phenol and toluene) embedded in the interior of droplets have been investigated by a variety of spectroscopic ...
The present study reports on the synthesis of nanocrystalline (K-x,Na1-x)NbO3 powders prepared via microemulsion mediated hydrolytic decomposition of mixed alkoxide solutions. Compositions with different K/Na ratios ranging between the two end members KNbO ...
A review with 30 refs. on some of the authors works on the absorption, excitation and emission spectra of C60 embedded in rare gas matrixes while stressing the role of the environment. The gas phase resonant 2-photon ionization spectrum of C60 is reanalyze ...
During the last decades, weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) have become a field of great interest both in basic and applied chemistry, as – if compared to "normal" classical anions like Cl- or SO42- – they have a lot of unique and unusual properties, such a ...
The environment is important for the exact course of a chemical reaction. As an example of the strong influence of the environment on the reaction, this work studies the isomerization reaction of the chromophore retinal in the binding pocket of the protein ...
Emission, absorption, and excitation spectroscopy was used for a detailed anal. of the optical transitions of Hg2 trapped in cryogenic matrixes. Upon excitation of electronic states correlating to the 3P1 or the 1P1 asymptote, fast nonradiative relaxation ...
