Far-infrared Absorption by Small Particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Detailed far-infrared (FIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) studies of aluminum small particles have been carried out. MIR absorption studies of clustered and non-clustered samples suggest that the anomalous FIR absorption does not arise from the clustering together of the individual metallic particles. The MIR absorption, which is too small to be the continuation of the anomalous FIR absorption, could be fitted to the classical theory by using an unexpectedly short electronic mean free path. Evidence is presented for the particles having a non-Drude dielectric function, suggesting that the anomalous FIR absorption is due to the fact that the small particles arc not metals.

Spectral Properties of Gas-phase Condensed Fullerene-like Carbon Nanoparticles from Far-ultraviolet to Infrared Wavelengths
Carbon solids are ubiquitous material in the interstellar space. However, the formation pathway of carbonaceous matter in astrophysical environments as well as in terrestrial gas-phase condensation reactions is not yet understood. Laser ablation of graphite in different quenching gas atmospheres such as pure He, He/H2, and He/H2O at varying pressures is used to synthesize very small, fullerene-...
متن کاملFar-infrared absorption of water clusters by first-principles molecular dynamics.
Based on first-principle molecular dynamic simulations, we calculate the far-infrared spectra of small water clusters (H(2)O)(n) (n = 2, 4, 6) at frequencies below 1000 cm(-1) and at 80 K and at atmospheric temperature (T>200 K). We find that cluster size and temperature affect the spectra significantly. The effect of the cluster size is similar to the one reported for confined water. Temperatu...

متن کاملScattering and absorption property database for nonspherical ice particles in the near- through far-infrared spectral region.
The single-scattering properties of ice particles in the near- through far-infrared spectral region are computed from a composite method that is based on a combination of the finite-difference time-domain technique, the T-matrix method, an improved geometrical-optics method, and Lorenz-Mie theory. Seven nonspherical ice crystal habits (aggregates, hexagonal solid and hollow columns, hexagonal p...
متن کاملMechanism of the far-infrared absorption of carbon-nanotube films.
The far-infrared conductivity of single-wall carbon-nanotube ensembles is dominated by a broad absorption peak around 4 THz whose origin is still debated. We observe an overall depletion of this peak when the nanotubes are excited by a short visible laser pulse. This finding excludes optical absorption due to a particle-plasmon resonance and instead shows that interband transitions in tubes wit...
