Differential geometry provides a useful mathematical framework for describing the fundamental concepts in crystallography. The notions of point and associated vector spaces correspond to those of manifold and tangent space at a given point. A space-group o ...
This paper presents continuative results on the design, fabrication and measurements of a vertically moving, electrostatically actuated micromirror, first shown at the IEEE MEMS 2007 [N. Quack, I. Züst, S. Blunier, J. Dual, M. Arnold, F. Felder, M. Rahim, ...
We introduce a general scheme for calculating from first principles both the transverse-optical and longitudinal-optical infrared absorption spectra at surfaces or interfaces. A spatial decomposition of the spectra gives the evolution of the infrared activ ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
We study the infrared absorption spectra of ultrathin SiO2, films on Si(100) using a first-principles approach, and adopting a model Si(100)-SiO2 interface with a realistic transition structure. We calculate both the transverse-optical and the longitudinal ...
We study the infrared properties of the Si-SiO2 interface within a first-principles approach. In order to provide an atomic-scale description of the dielectric permittivity (both high-frequency and static) and of the infrared absorption at the interface, w ...
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 ...
Spatial representativeness is an important quality criterion in trace gas monitoring, especially if measurements are intended for regulatory and model validation purposes. Open-path absorption spectroscopy techniques meet the representativeness requirement ...
