Laser Micro-Raman Spectroscopy of CVD Nanocrystalline Diamond Thin Film

Laser micro-Raman spectroscopy is an ideal tool for assessment and characterization of various types of carbon-based materials. Due to its special optical properties (CrN) coated stainless steel substrates. NCD films have been investigated by laser micro-Raman spectroscopy. The fingerprint of diamond based materials is in the spectral region of 1000-1600 cm-1 in the first order of Raman scatter...

Raman Study of the Photochemistry of Maleic Acid Adsorbed on the Surface of Colloidal Silver

The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of maleic (cis; 2-butaneoic acid) and fumaric (trans; 2-butaneoic acid) acids adsorbed on aqueous silver sol particles are reported. These two acids form two groups of isomers which differ only in the relative positions of the two carboxylate groups. The photochemistry of maleic and fumaric acids adsorbed on the surface of silver colloids...

Metabolism of L-aspartic acid.

Aspartic acid, like glutamic acid, occupies a central position in amino acid metabolism. In most tissues it takes part in the transamination reaction (1). In the liver and the kidney, where all amino acids undergo cleamination, the rate of this process for aspartic acid is second only to glutamic acid (2). For these reasons, one would expect the exchange of amino nitrogen of aspartic acid with ...

The Synthesis of Aspartic Acid

No one of the methods proposed for the synthesis of aspartic acid is entirely satisfactory as a practical procedure. The synthesis, described in a recent paper (1) from this laboratory, has been utilized in preparing 50 to 60 gm. lots of recrystallized aspartic acid but even here the beginning reagents are expensive, the over-all yield is only about 30 per cent of the theoretical, and the proce...
