Quadrupole mass filters (QMFs) are usually not used to analyze high m/z ions, due to the low frequency resonant circuit that is required to drive them. Here we describe a new approach to generating waveforms for QMFs. Instead of scanning the amplitude of a sine wave to measure the m/z spectrum, the frequency of a trapezoidal wave is digitally scanned. A synchronous, narrow-range (<0.2%) amplitu...

In this study, the geometric differences which have a significant effect on simulation results of sheet metal prototype vehicle door hinge been revealed. This difference was examined by finite element simulations and experimental tests for loads in X, Y Z directions specified UNECE R11 regulation. As result, curves compared each direction were it concluded that compatible model with 3D scan mod...

This work describes the experimental and theoretical investigation of nonlinear optical properties imidazolium cation based ionic liquids corresponding thermo-optical parameters. The results properties, such as refractive index are determined by Z-scan EZ-scan techniques with a femtosecond laser source. Theoretical simulations linear performed density functional theory (DFT) discussed in terms ...

Rationale: In a shotgun proteomics experiment with data-dependent acquisition, real-time analysis of a precursor scan results in selection of a handful of peaks for subsequent isolation, fragmentation and secondary scanning. This peak selection protocol typically focuses on the most abundant peaks in the precursor scan, while attempting to avoid re-sampling the same m/z values in rapid successi...

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a powerful instrument which can measure the surface of samples at the nanoscale. The resonance of the scanner in xy directions, and the feedback control in the z direction are two major sources of image distortion at high scan speed. In order to improve the scanning speed of the AFM, a low-cost and easy method, which includes sinusoidal scans in the fast sca...

meso-Tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and its two substituted derivatives (meso-tetrakis(4-cyanophenyl)porphyrin [TPP(CN)4] and meso-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin [TPP(OMe)4]) were synthesized. Their nonlinear absorption and refraction properties were studied using the Z-scan technique in the picosecond (ps) and nanosecond (ns) regimes. The open aperture Z-scan results reveal that TPP and TPP(CN...

Intramolecular charge transfer in 5,15-bis(azulenylethynyl) substituted zinc(ii) porphyrin leads to a significant enhancement of two-photon absorption at near-IR region, which has been investigated by femtosecond Z-scan method.

Introduction: Slice encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) [1] completely corrects metal-induced in-plane and through-plane distortions. The SEMAC imaging sequence (Fig. 1) augments a view-angle-tilting (VAT) [2] spin echo sequence with z-phase encoding. While the VATcompensation gradient suppresses the in-plane distortions, the throughplane distortions are corrected by combining multip...

We report a sensitive single-beam technique for measuring both the nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient for a wide variety of materials. We describe the experimental details and present a comprehensive theoretical analysis including cases where nonlinear refraction is accompanied by nonlinear absorption. In these experiments, the transmittance of a sample is measured ...
