Absorption emission

In this section we will discuss more conventional spectroscopies absorption, emission and resonance Raman scattering. These spectroscopies are generally measured under single frequency conditions, and therefore our... 

Colorimetry, in which a sample absorbs visible light, is one example of a spectroscopic method of analysis. At the end of the nineteenth century, spectroscopy was limited to the absorption, emission, and scattering of visible, ultraviolet, and infrared electromagnetic radiation. During the twentieth century, spectroscopy has been extended to include other forms of electromagnetic radiation (photon spectroscopy), such as X-rays, microwaves, and radio waves, as well as energetic particles (particle spectroscopy), such as electrons and ions. ... 

Spectroscopy is basically an experimental subject and is concerned with the absorption, emission or scattering of electromagnetic radiation by atoms or molecules. As we shall see in Chapter 3, electromagnetic radiation covers a wide wavelength range, from radio waves to y-rays, and the atoms or molecules may be in the gas, liquid or solid phase or, of great importance in surface chemistry, adsorbed on a solid surface. 

In spectroscopic analysis, species are identified by the frequencies and stmctures of absorption, emission, or scatteting features, and quantified by the iatensities of these features. The many appHcations of optical methods to chemical analysis rely on just a few basic mechanisms of light—matter iateraction.

Atomic Absorption/Emission Spectrometry. Atomic absorption or emission spectrometric methods are commonly used for inorganic elements in a variety of matrices. The general principles and appHcations have been reviewed (43). Flame-emission spectrometry allows detection at low levels (10 g). It has been claimed that flame methods give better reproducibiHty than electrical excitation methods, owing to better control of several variables involved in flame excitation. Detection limits for selected elements by flame-emission spectrometry given in Table 4. Inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry may also be employed. 

Emissivity is strongly dependent on the surface quality. The emissivity of a rough surface is greater than that of a smooth surface, increasing the rate of absorption. Emissivity values are found in textbooks. Care must be taken when using these values, as they usually denote total emissivities. The emissivity is considered constant in the spectrum, and this may be a poor approximation.

Consider the problem of smoothing an experimental curve, such as represented in Fig. 6a. It might well correspond to a spectrum, as observed in absorption, emission or, say, Raman scattering. The noise is, usually at least,... 

The noncovalent binding of a series of oxo-squaraine dyes 9a-e to BSA was evaluated by measurement of absorption, emission, and circular dichroism [63]. The magnitude of the association constants (Ks) for the dye-BSA complexes depended on the nature of the side chains and ranged from 34 x 103 to 1 x 107 M-1. Depending on the side chains, the Ks increase in the order [R1 = R2 = butyl-phthalimide] < R1 = R2 = cetyl] <[RJ = R2 = ethyl] <<[R = butyl-phthalimide, R2 = butyl-sulfonate] <<[RJ = R2 = butyl-sulfonate]. These dyes seem to interact mainly with a hydrophobic cavity on BSA. However, the association constants Ks increase substantially when the side chains are selected from butyl sulfonate. 

The signal generation principle of Raman is inelastic molecular light scattering, in contrast to resonant energy absorption/emission in IR spectroscopy. During the measurement, the sample is irradiated with intense monochromatic radiation. While most of this radiation is transmitted, refracted or reflected, a small amount is scattered at the molecules. 

Optical spectroscopy measurement of optical absorption, emission or scattering Offers a direct and rapid, and often highly selective means, of measuring gas concentration with good sensitivity. The gas must have a significant and distinct absorption, emission or scattering in a convenient region of the optical spectrum. 

Optical methods monitor the optical absorption/emission/scattering of a gas species at defined optical wavelengths. The distribution of this optical absorption/emission with wavelength provides an optical fingerprint for any gas species present, and the magnitude typically shows the concentration.
