The infrared isotope analyzer II

Using an Infrared Gas Analyzer for Evaluation of Photosynthetic Activity in Some Iranian Pistachio Cultivars

Photosynthetic rates of six pistachio cultivars were studied including Ohadi, Kalleh-Ghochi, Akbari, AhmadAghaii, Rezaii Zoudras and Haratii. Measurements were done using OFF and ON shoots at different stages of fruit growth and development included: - Beginning of endocarp growth; - pith hardening; - Beginning of endosperm rapid growth; - end of embryo development; - ripening and harvesting ti...

Calculation of the rotational bands for the 20Ne isotope

The phenomenon of clustering in light nuclei is one of the interesting topics while its study is difficult. In this article, a simple model (the two-particle model which includes a core and a cluster) is presented for the investigation of the positive and the negative parity of rotational bands of 20Ne isotope. The Deng-Fan and the Hellman potentials are considered as the core and the cluster p...

Infrared Laser-based Method for Measuring Isotope Ratios

Two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy of isotope-diluted ice Ih.

We present experimental 2D IR spectra of isotope diluted ice Ih (i.e., the OH stretch mode of HOD in D(2)O and the OD stretch mode of HOD in H(2)O) at T = 80 K. The main spectral features are the extremely broad 1-2 excited state transition, much broader than the corresponding 0-1 groundstate transition, as well as the presence of quantum beats. We do not observe any inhomogeneous broadening th...
