Spectroscopy and the Electromagnetic Spectrum Infrared Spectroscopy Interpreting Infrared Spectra... 

Infrared, ultraviolet, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies differ from mass spectrometry in that they are nondestructive and involve the interaction of molecules with electromagnetic energy rather than with an ionizing source. Before beginning a study of these techniques, however, let s briefly review the nature of radiant energy and the electromagnetic spectrum.

Near-infrared Spectroscopy. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) uses that part of the electromagnetic spectrum between the visible and the infrared. This region has the advantage that the instrumentation is nearest to visible instrumentation. Signals in the near-infrared come not from the fundamental vibrations of molecules but from overtones. As... 

Material response in THz frequency region, which corresponds to far- and mid-infrared electromagnetic spectrum, carries important information for the understanding of both electronic and phononic properties of condensed matter. Time-resolved THz spectroscopy has been applied extensively to investigate the sub-picosecond electron-hole dynamics and the coherent lattice dynamics simultaneously. In a typical experimental setup shown in Fig. 3.5, an... 

Infrared spectroscopy an analytical technique that quantifies the vibration (stretching and bending) that occurs when a molecule absorbs (heat) energy in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. 

Infrared spectroscopy has proven to be a very informative and powerful technique for the characterization of zeolitic materials. Most infrared spectrometers measure the absorption of radiation in the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (4000-400 cm or 2.5-25 xm). In this region of the spectrum, absorption is due to various vibrational modes in the sample. Analysis of these vibrational absorption bands provides information about the chemical species present. This includes information about the structure of the zeolite as well as other functional... 

Other spectral regions are also important because the detection and quantification of small concentrations of labile molecular, free radical, and atomic species of tropospheric interest both in laboratory studies and in ambient air are based on a variety of spectroscopic techniques that cover a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum. For example, the relevant region for infrared spectroscopy of stable molecules is generally from 500 to 4000 cm-1 (20-2.5 /Am), whereas the detection of atoms and free radicals by resonance fluorescence employs radiation down to 121.6 nm, the Lyman a line of the H atom. 

Most absorption spectroscopy is done in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. 

MICROWAVE SPECTROSCOPY. A type of adsorption spectroscopy used in instrumental chemical analysis that involves use of that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum hav ing wavelengths in the range between the far infrared and the radiofrequencies, i.e.. between 1 nun and. 111 cm. Substances to be analyzed are usually in the gaseous state. Klystron tubes are used as microwave source. 

PHOTOMETRIC ANALYSIS. Chemical analysis by means of absorption or emission of radiation, primarily in the near UV, visible, and infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes such techniques as spectrophotometry, spectrochemical analysis, Raman spectroscopy, colorimetry, and fluorescence measurements.
