We present resonant two-photon ionization (R2PI), UV-UV, and IR-UV double resonance spectra of xanthine seeded in a supersonic jet by laser desorption. We show that there is only one tautomer of xanthine which absorbs in the wavelength range of 36 700 to 37 700 cm(-1). The IR-UV double resonance spectrum shows three strong bands at 3444, 3485, and 3501 cm(-1), all of which we assign as N-H stre...

This paper reports the synthesis of CeO2/ZrO2 nanocomposite by wet chemical method using cationic surfactant (CTAB). The properties of the obtained nanocomposites were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscoy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrosco...

Eflornithine is not official in any of the pharmacopoeias, the literarture survey did not reveal any analytical method for quantitative estimation of eflornithine. Thus there is a need for the development of newer effective, sensitive, accurate and economical methods of analysis for quantitative estimations of eflornithine as an active pharmaceutical ingredient. The aim of this work was to deve...

In the present study, ZnO nanostructure has been synthesized by different methods, namely coprecipitation, hydrothermal and sonochemical methods. After comparison of the morphology and photocatalytic activity of ZnO samples prepared via different methods, the best method (sonochemical method) was used for synthesis of Ni-ZnO nanoparticles with different concentrations of nickel. Furthermore, st...

to be published in the " Starburst Activity in Galaxies " proceedings by the RevMexAstronAstrofis. ABSTRACT HST spectroscopical observations of 8 HII galaxies are reported. Lyα emission was detected in 4 of them. We find that it is the velocity structure of the gas which is the main determining factor for the escape of the Lyα photons, and not the abundance of dust. The rest of the sample shows...

The construction and design of a microscope coupled with a miniature UV-vis spectrometer is described. This was applied to the study of dyes linked to solid supports and displayed good correlation in spectral shape and lambda(max) values when compared to the dyes in solution, as well as showing a linear relationship between dye loading and UV-vis absorbance. The spectral profiles of these dyes ...

In this research work, we report a simple method called reflux condensation method for synthesizing Co3O4 nanoparticles using cheap chemicals such as, cobalt acetate (precursor salt), sodium monododecyl sulphate - SDS (surfactant) and N, N - Dimethylformamide - DMF (solvent). The prepared materials were heat treated at 200, 400, 600 and 800 oC for each 2 h to get phase pure product. The calcine...

Fe2V4O13 is prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis. The hetero-Fenton catalyst can be used to mineralize Methyl Orange (MO) under UV-A light. The mineralization rate is influenced by hydr...

In this work, H3PW12O40 (PPT) and nano-sized titania supported on urea formaldehyde (UF) resinwas prepared via an impregnation method. The prepared sample was characterized by X-raydiffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The photocatalyt...
