State-of-the-art for data evaluation of complex depth profile is the use of factor analysis. The acquired data can be compiled in a two-dimensional data matrix in a manner that the n intensity values N(E) or, in the derivative mode dN( )/d , respectively, of a spectrum recorded in the ith of a total of m sputter cycles are written in the ith column of the data matrix D. For the purpose of factor analysis, it now becomes necessary that the (n X m)-dimensional data matrix D can be expressed as a product of two matrices, i. e. the (n x k)-dimensional spectrum matrix R and the (k x m)-dimensional concentration matrix C, in which R in k columns contains the spectra of k components, and C in k rows contains the concentrations of the respective m sputter cycles, i. e. ...

A noticeable difference between NMR and EPR is that NMR is typically presented in absorption mode whereas EPR normally is presented in derivative mode. The EPR spectrum may be analyzed mathematically to determine the coupling pattern and thus the structural relationships. A database of software useful in EPR research is available at http //epr.niehs.nih.gov/software.html.

Parameters for phase correction, A —255° and B —215°. Note that the phase of the tetramethylsilane and chloroform signals in (c) is slightly different from that of the carbohydrate derivative. By coincidence, the peak for residual water in spectrum (c) has almost the same intensity as the methyl signals, and could have been mistaken for one, had other spectra not been recorded.]...

For an overall description, the molecular motion is best divided into four major types. Type (1) is the vibrational motion of the atoms of the molecule about fixed positions, as described in Sect. 2.3.3. This motion occurs with small ampUmdes, typically a fraction of an angstrom (or 0.1 nm). Larger systems of vibrators have to be coupled, as discussed in Sect. 2.3.4 on hand of the Debye functions. The usual technique is to derive a spectrum of normal modes as described in Fig. A.6.4, based on the approximation of the motion as harmonic vibrators given in Fig. A.6.2. 

Derivatives Derivatives are frequently used to enhance resolution. The principle is that pure peaks are generally unimodal, so contain only one maximum. Peak clusters arising from several underlying components, if not completely resolved, contain inflexion points. Derivatives resolve these out, as illustrated in Figure 3. These also allow peak maxima and widths to be measured more easily. For example, the center of a peak has a first derivative of 0, so crosses the baseline in the derivative spectrum. It is often easier to measure a peak crossing the baseline than estimate the exact center of a flat peak. In some forms of spectroscopy such as electron spin resonance, spectra are conventionally recorded directly in the derivative mode, which allows good resolution of hyperfine...

The g-sphere and the principal values on the g-ellipsoid are marked with arrows. The corresponding powder EPR spectrum in absorption and first derivative mode is shown in the top left panel.

Time resolved EPR spectra of the photochemically generated radical ion pairs were obtained using a modulated xenon arc lamp and phase sensitive detection of the signal.[33] The EPR spectrum of 2-TAPD -ZP-2-NQ is compared with those of reference compounds 3 and 4 obtained under identical conditions in Figure 7. These spectra are displayed in the first derivative mode. It is readily seen that irradiation of 1 produces an intense EPR signal which consists of an emissive, E, low field line and an absorptive. A, high field line. Extensive control experiments were performed... 

A connnon teclmique used to enliance the signal-to-noise ratio for weak modes is to inject a local oscillator field polarized parallel to the RIKE field at the detector. This local oscillator field is derived from the probe laser and will add coherently to the RIKE field [96]. The relative phase of the local oscillator and the RIKE field is an important parameter in describing the optical heterodyne detected (OHD)-RIKES spectrum. If the local oscillator at the detector is in phase with the probe wave, the heterodyne mtensity is proportional to... 

Out-of-Plane Vibrations, yCH and yCD. In accordance with all the proposed assignments (201-203), the bands at 797 and 716 cm correspond to yCH vibrators, which is confirmed by the C-type structure observed for these frequencies in the vapor-phase spectrum of thiazoie (Fig. 1-9). On the contrary, the assignments proposed for the third yCH mode are contradictory. According to Chouteau et al. (201), this vibration is located at 723 cm whereas Sbrana et al. (202) prefer the band at S49cm and Davidovics et al. (203) the peak at 877 cm This last assignment is the most compatible with the whole set of spectra for the thiazole derivatives (203) and is confirmed by the normal vibration mode calculations (205) (Table 1-25). The order of decreasing yCH frequencies, established by the study of isotopic and substituted thiazole derivatives, is (203) yC(4)H > 70(2)13 > yC(5)H. Both the 2- and 4-positions, which seem equivalent for the vCH modes, are quite different for the yCH out-of-plane vibrations, a fact related to the influence observed for the...
