We report the infrared (IR) absorption spectra of different conformational isomers of gas phase amino acid molecules in the molecular fingerprint region of 330-1500 cm(-1). The IR absorption spectra for three conformers of the amino acid tryptophan show absorption bands that uniquely identify the conformational structure of the molecule and that are well matched by density functional theory cal...

An FT-IR Spectrometer is an instrument which acquires broadband NIR to FIR spectra. Unlike a dispersive instrument, i.e. grating monochromator or spectrograph, an FT-IR Spectrometer collects all wavelengths simultaneously. This feature, called the Multiplex or Felgett Advantage, is discussed in detail on page 3. FT-IR Spectrometers are often simply called FT-IRs. But for the purists, an FT-IR (...

Genetic evaluation of dairy animals requires rather large datasets, possibly larger than what is feasible to observe directly through chemical analyses for milk composition and quality traits because they are costly and time consuming. An alternative and more convenient method – use of infrared (IR) spectra – has been proposed (Goulden, 1964). Fourier transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectrometry is...

We report the initial results from a Spitzer GO-1 program to obtain low resolution, mid-infrared spectra of infrared luminous galaxies at z ∼ 1 − 2. This paper presents the spectra of eight sources observed with the Spitzer InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS). Of the eight spectra, six have mid-IR spectral features, either emission from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) or silicate absorption. Base...

Infrared spectra of complexes of small vanadium oxide clusters with ethene are determined using infrared multiple photon dissociation (IR-MPD) spectroscopy in the range of 550-1850 cm-1. The structures of the complexes have been identified by comparison of the experimental spectra with the harmonic vibrational frequencies and corresponding IR intensities of possible isomers calculated with DFT ...

Structures in Eukaryotic Cells with Atomic Force Microscopy Infrared Spectroscopy. Luca Quaroni,* Katarzyna Pogoda, Joanna-Wiltowska Zuber, Wojciech Kwiatek Department of Experimental Physics of Complex Systems, Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, PL-31342, Kraków, Poland Abstract Atomic Force Microscopy – Infrared (AFM-IR) spectroscopy allows spectroscopic studies in the ...

Tracking the star formation rate to high redshifts requires knowledge of the contribution from both optically visible and obscured sources. The dusty, optically-obscured galaxies can be located by X-ray and infrared surveys. To establish criteria for selecting such sources based only on X-ray and infrared surveys, we determine the ratio of infrared to X-ray brightness that would be observed by ...

Identification of clay minerals based on chemometric analysis of measured infrared (IR) spectra was suggested. IR spectra were collected using the diffuse reflection technique. Discriminant analysis and principal component analysis were used as chemometric methods. Four statistical models were created for separation and identification of clay minerals. More than 50 samples of various clay miner...

The scattering effects in the infrared (IR) spectra of single, isolated bread yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on a ZnSe substrate and in metal microchannels have been probed by Fourier transform infrared imaging microspectroscopy. Absolute extinction [(3.4±0.6)×10(-7) cm(2) at 3178 cm(-1)], scattering, and absorption cross sections for a single yeast cell and a vibrational absorption spe...

in this work facile sol-gel (pechni) method has been successfully established to synthesize zn4b6o13 nanocrystals which have cubic crystals with lattice parameter: a =7.48 a. the structure and morphology of the obtained material were studied by x-ray diffraction (xrd), infrared spectra (ir), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and photoluminescence analysis. the experimental results show a band ...
