This paper presents the design, fabrication and measurement results of a vertically moving, electrostatically actuated micromirror. The single crystalline silicon substrate allows the design of a symmetrical and mechanically stable mirror suspension while ...
In this work, I present the results of my studies on the state-resolved reactivity of silane (SiH4) on the Si(100)-(2x1) surface. The results demonstrate a co-existence of both a direct and a precursor mediated mechanisms for the dissociative chemisorption ...
A classification methodology for the automatic detection of start- and endpoints of chemical and biotechnological reaction systems from spectral reaction data is proposed. In the calibration phase, several batch experiments must be conducted covering the e ...
We present here ultraviolet and infrared spectra of protonated aromatic amino acids in a cold, 22-pole ion trap. Ultraviolet photofragmentation spectra of protonated tyrosine and phenylalanine show vibronically resolved bands corresponding to different sta ...
We apply gas-phase double resonance spectroscopic techniques to two helical peptides, Ac-Phe-(Ala)5-Lys-H+ and Ac-Phe- (Ala)10-Lys-H+, using electrospray ionization combined with photofragmentation in a cold, 22-pole ion trap. Despite the large size of the ...
The Yule-Nielsen modified Spectral Neugebauer reflection prediction model enhanced with an ink spreading model provides high accuracy when predicting reflectance spectra from ink surface coverages. In the present contribution, we try to inverse the model, ...
The occurrence of an ultrathin SiO2 oxide layer at the interface between silicon and high-k dielectrics in metal-oxide-semiconductor devices contributes to degrading the capacitance of the gate stack. In this work, we investigate the dielectric and infrare ...
A combined synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering, and infrared spectroscopy study of the pressure-induced changes in H3BO3 to 10 GPa revealed a new high-pressure phase transition between 1 and 2 GPa followed by chemical decomposition into cubic H ...
This thesis aimed at developing new, simple methods of calibration for on-line monitoring of bioprocesses by Fourier-transform mid-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The conventional calibration approach implies the preparation and measurement of a large number ...
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 ...
