40 results found for spectroscopy

It seems likely that C60+ will act as a stable site for a wide variety of adducts and that these entities will contribute to the Diffuse Interstellar Bands.  John Maier's group in Basel is looking for species like C60(Fe)+.

The early (mid 1990s) work on the electronic spectroscopy was carried out by John Maier's group, trapping C60+ in a neon matrix in this apparatus.

John Maier's team at the University of Basel solved the riddle of C60+ in 2015.  In this brief view Colin Byfleet looks at the unique apparatus used in John's work.

The presentation the solution to this long-standing puzzle occurred at a most serendipitous moment.  John Maier, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Basel reveals the momentous details.

John Maier, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Basel, describes the journey from the prediction of C60+ in 1987, through tentative assignment of its electronic spectrum by Radioastronomy, measurement in a neon-matrix and finally, in....

I will discuss my random walk in science, from my graduate student on postdoctoral years testing the Weinberg-Salam-Glashow theory of electro-weak forces, and then to energy transfer in condensed matter systems, the spectroscopy of positronium, laser....

The spectrum of a frequency comb, commonly generated by a mode-locked femtosecond laser, consists of several hundred thousand precisely evenly spaced spectral lines. Such laser frequency combs have revolutionized the art of measuring the frequency of....

For the discovery of the physics phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Felix Bloch and Edward Purcell were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1952. NMR has then been used in a wide range of fundamental studies in physics, and in the 1960....

George Whitesides is the Woodford L. and Ann A. Flowers University Professor of Chemistry at Harvard University. Best-known for his work in NMR spectroscopy, organometallic chemistry, molecular self-assembly and nanotechnology, here he introduces sof....

It is hard to believe there was a time before batteries! Batteries and supercapacitors are at the heart of electric vehicles, portable devices (watches, laptops, mobile phones) and renewable resources like wind and solar, for energy storage. Bette....

Dr. Kroto describes his ABC system for spectroscopy, a systematic method that can be applied to vibrational, rotational, and electronic spectrocopies
