The different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum result in diverse effects upon interaction with matter: according to the wavelength, the radiation has energy appropriate for the excitation of a specific physical process. X-rays can be used as a tool to ...
Using a density-functional framework, we investigate the vibrational spectra of vitreous SiO2 to determine to what extent these spectra provide information about the medium-range structure of the oxide network. We carry out a comparative study involving th ...
Many processes in chemistry and physics rely on the structure, growth or change of material buried in solids. The impenetrable surrounding medium often prohibits the study of such material in situ. Nonlinear light scattering can be used to observe the inte ...
The Gemperline research group is currently working on a research project to characterize chemical batch reactions in slurry mixtures with light scattering properties. One of our primary goals is to determine light absorption and light scattering properties ...
We present a method for determining molecular orientation from second-order nonlinear light scattering experiments. Our modeling shows that there is an optimal angular region, for which the scattering pattern is most sensitive to molecular orientation. We ...
Raman spectra are presented for the rare-earth nitrides SmN, GdN, DyN, ErN, and LuN measured with 633 and 514 nm excitation wavelengths and at temperatures above and below the Curie temperature. Frozen-phonon calculations are presented for the phonons at G ...
Infrared absorption spectroscopy enabling direct access to vibrational fingerprints of the molecular structure is a powerful method for functional studies of bio-molecules. Although the intrinsic absorption cross-sections of IR active modes of proteins are ...
We present our optical investigations on the frustrated spin cluster compound FeTe2O5Cl, which develops a long-range antiferromagnetic order below 10 K. We measure the optical reflectivity from the far-infrared to the ultraviolet with polarized light. We f ...
Absorption spectra of silane in the region of the first overtone of the Si-H stretch vibration have been recorded in a seeded supersonic jet expansion by cavity ring-down spectroscopy as well as in a static gas cell at room temperature by photoacoustic spe ...
We have studied the vibrational properties of CO adsorbed on platinum and platinum-ruthenium surfaces using density-functional perturbation theory within the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof generalized-gradient approximation. The calculated C-O stretching frequenci ...
