چکیده
We have developed a terahertz absorption spectrometer suitable for strongly absorbing liquids such as water, and have precisely measured the absorption spectrum of water between 0.3 and 3.72 THz (10-124 cm(-1)). We have also examined the absorption spectra of aqueous 50 mM potassium phosphate buffers at pH 3 and 8, and find that they do not differ significantly from pure distilled de-ionized water.

Collective dynamics of lysozyme in water: terahertz absorption spectroscopy and comparison with theory.
To directly measure the low-frequency vibrational modes of proteins in biologically relevant water environment rather than previously explored dry or slightly hydrated phase, we have developed a broadband terahertz spectrometer suitable for strongly attenuating protein solutions. Radiation is provided by harmonic multipliers (up to 0.21 THz), a Gunn oscillator (at 0.139 THz), and the UCSB free-...
متن کاملTerahertz pulsed spectroscopy as a new tool for measuring the structuring effect of solutes on water.
Absorption spectra of aqueous solution of ''chaotropes'' (structure maker) and ''kosmotropes'' (structure breaker) have been recorded in the mid-infrared (MIR) and terahertz (THz) spectral region. A different impact of the two groups of solutes on the absorption spectrum of water was found in the recorded THz spectra. A concentration-dependent increased absorption across the investigated THz sp...
متن کاملDetection of Water Content in Rapeseed Leaves Using Terahertz Spectroscopy
The terahertz (THz) spectra of rapeseed leaves with different water content (WC) were investigated. The transmission and absorption spectra in the range of 0.3-2 THz were measured by using THz time-domain spectroscopy. The mean transmittance and absorption coefficients were applied to analyze the change regulation of WC. In addition, the Savitzky-Golay method was performed to preprocess the spe...
متن کاملAbsorption Spectra of a Graphene Embedded One Dimensional Fibonacci Aperiodic Structure
In this paper, we explore the linear response of one dimensionalquasiperiodic structure based on Fibonacci sequence composed of silicon dioxide,polystyrene and graphene materials. Here, a graphene monolayer is sandwichedbetween two adjacent layers. The numerical results are obtained by using the standardtransfer matrix method. Due to the presence of graphene sheet in eac...
متن کاملProbing the collective vibrational dynamics of a protein in liquid water by terahertz absorption spectroscopy.
Biological polymers are expected to exhibit functionally relevant, global, and subglobal collective modes in the terahertz (THz) frequency range (i.e., picosecond timescale). In an effort to monitor these collective motions, we have experimentally determined the absorption spectrum of solvated bovine serum albumin (BSA) from 0.3 to 3.72 THz (10-124 cm(-1)). We successfully extract the terahertz...
