In this study, iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) were synthesized by green route under microwave irradiation. Terminalia arjuna bark extract was used for synthesis, which acts as reducing and stabilizing agent. The synthesized FeNPs were characterised by UV-Visible spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), BET surface are...

Polystyrene (PSt) exhibits a new UV absorption band at around 290nm in comparison with ethylbenzene, which is attributed to associative interaction between pendant phenyl groups, similar absorption bands are also observed for polymers of styrene derivatives. The UV spectra suggest charge-transfer complex formation between the polymeric and monomeric donors with electron-acceptor tetracyanoethyl...

Infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopic analysis of eight structural isomers of C20 carbon nanostructures, i.e. ring, tadpole, bow-tie, dumb-bell, spiro, propellane, bowl and cage, were performed at different levels of theory including semi-empirical (AM1 and PM3), Hartree-Fock (HF/6-31++G, 6-31++G**) and density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31++G, 6-31++G**). A broad range of IR spectra...

Calculated circular dichroism spectra are presented for double-stranded polynucleotides of regular sequences in A-RNA, A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA conformations. Quantum mechanical matrix method calculations were carried out in the near and vacuum ultraviolet regions. In the near UV, the calculated spectra agreed qualitatively with the measured spectra. However in the far and vacuum UV, the calcula...

The visible (532 and 442 nm) and UV (325 nm) Raman spectra of bulk mixed metal oxides (metal molybdates and metal vanadates) were compared on the same spectrometer, for the first time, to allow examination of how varying the excitation energy from visible to UV affects the resulting Raman spectra. The quality of the Raman spectra was found to be a strong function of the absorption properties of...

Structural and UV/Visible optical properties can be useful to describe a material for the CIGS solar cell active layer, therefore, this work demonstrates the properties like surface morphology, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) bonding energy (EB) core level spectra, UV/Visible absorption spectra, refractive index (n), optical energy band (Eg), reflection spectra for the Cu25 (In16Ga9) Se4...

Electronic transitions in aromatic side chains are responsible for the characteristics of proteins in the near UV. We present the first systematic study of a large number of proteins focused on the accurate calculation of near-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectra. We report new parameter sets derived from ab initio calculations for benzene, phenol, and indole that describe the valence electronic ...

The vibronic spectrum of laser desorbed and jet cooled guanine consists of bands from three different tautomers of guanine as revealed by UV–UV and IR–UV double resonance spectroscopy. 1-methylguanine, in which the Keto–Enol tautomerism is blocked, shows hole burning spectra from the 9H-and 7H-Keto form. A comparison of the vibronic pattern of the different tautomers demonstrates that the vibro...
