Low temperature vibrational spectroscopy. I. Hexachlorotellurates

Vibrational spectroscopy of photosystem I.

Fourier transform infrared difference spectroscopy (FTIR DS) has been widely used to study the structural details of electron transfer cofactors (and their binding sites) in many types of photosynthetic protein complexes. This review focuses in particular on work that has been done to investigate the A₁cofactor in photosystem I photosynthetic reaction centers. A review of this subject area last...

High Resolution Optical and Vibrational Spectroscopy with Low Loss EELS

Despite being diffraction limited to thousands of Ångstroms, infrared and optical spectroscopies remain effective characterization techniques. While it is possible to perform subatomic resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) at unprecedented energy resolution, with ever improving aberration correctors and monochromators, it is argued that low loss features can be severely delocalize...

Vibrational effects on low-temperature properties of molecular conductors

We calculate characteristic correlation functions for the Anderson model with additional phonon-assisted coupling to the odd conduction channel. This model describes, for example, the behavior of a molecule embedded between two electrodes in linear transport experiments where the position of the molecule with respect to the leads affects the tunneling amplitudes. We use variational projectionop...

Vibrational Spectroscopy of C60

The fullerene era was started in 1985 with the discovery of the stable C60 cluster and its interpretation as a cage structure with the familiar shape of a soccer ball [1]. An explosive growth in fullerene research was triggered in 1990 by the development of a method to produce fullerenes in bulk quantities [2]. Subsequently, the structural, electronic, and vibrational properties of many fullere...
