چکیده
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy has been used for measuring of bovine serum albumin and glucose solutions response. The transmission and the attenuated total internal reflection geometries have been combined for analyzing the dielectric properties of aqueous solutions spectra at 0.07-3.2 THz.

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-...

We give a detailed analysis of a general realization of reflection terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The method is self-referenced and applicable at all incidence angles and for all polarizations of the incident terahertz radiation. Hence it is a general method for the determination of the dielectric properties of especially liquids in environments where transmission measurements are difficul...
متن کاملNew terahertz dielectric spectroscopy for the study of aqueous solutions.
We present the development of a high precision, tunable far-infrared (terahertz) frequency-domain dielectric spectrometer for studying the dynamics of biomolecules in aqueous solutions in the gigahertz-to-terahertz frequency. As an important benchmark system, we report on the measurements of the absorption and refractive index for liquid water in the frequency range from 5 GHz to 1.12 THz (0.17...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Four Electrolyte Models for the Prediction of Thermodynamic Properties of Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions
In this work, the performance of four electrolyte models for prediction the osmotic and activity coefficients of different aqueous salt solutions at 298 K, atmospheric pressure and in a wide range of concentrations are evaluated. In two of these models, (electrolyte Non-Random Two-Liquid e-NRTL and Mean Spherical Approximation-Non-Random Two-Liquid MSA-NRTL), association between ions of opposit...
