A typical REMPl at 266 nm mass spectrum is shown Fig. 15.22, obtained by roasting 80 g of Arabica coffee at 225 °C. The laserpower density was adjusted to 10 -10 W/cm in order to avoid non-resonant ionisation processes. The spectrum contains predominantly molecular ions. Chemical assignment of the ion peaks was based on three distinct pieces of information the literature on coffee flavour compounds [204], the mass as observed in TOFMS and optical absorption properties. With this information, many volatiles observed in Fig. 15.22 were unambiguously identified.

Another important characteristic of semiconductors is their optical absorption properties. The optical properties of semiconductors are crucial to their uses as photovoltaic energy conversion devices, photonic detectors, light-emitting diodes, solid state lasers, and optical switches see Semiconductor Interfaces). Some semiconductors absorb both visible and ultraviolet light, while others only absorb photons in the... 

Since 1962, when it was first characterized by pulse radiolysis transient absorption measurements in water, the solvated electron has been widely studied in numerous solvents. The solvated electron, denoted by e, is a thermodynamically stable radical, but like most free radicals, it has a short lifetime due to its high chemical reactivity. The solvated electron is a unique chemical moiety whose properties may be compared in many solvents and are not dependent on the method creating the solvated electron. The solvated electron is an important reactive species as it is the simplest electron donor, its reactions correspond to electron transfer reactions and its reactivity may be used to probe electron transfer properties of acceptors. During the last 40 years, due to its optical absorption properties, the... 

The physical and optical properties of the NPs used in this investigation are described in Table 6.1. The optical absorption properties of the ruthenium dye complex are also detailed in the table. It can be seen that there is good overlap between 7 of the pure silver and alloy NPs and the absorption band of the complex, while the gold NPs lie outside the absorption peak and are used as a negative control. The dependence of the excitation spectra of the dye complex on NP-dye distance is shown in Figure 6.14 for the case of the pure silver NPs. Also included in the figure is the excitation spectrum for the complex coated on the PEL layer in the absence of NPs. From Table 6.1, it can be seen that there is very good overlap between 7 of the silver NPs and the dye absorption band which constitutes the optimum plasmonic enhancement condition for the case of excitation enhancement.

What is measured in electron energy loss spectroscopy is the optical absorptive properties of the materials. This statement can be made clearer if we adopt the virtual photon field picture pioneered by C. F. Weizsacker and E. J. Williams... 

The key point is that the resonance wavelength of the surface plasmon excitation depends on a variety of parameters, such as size and shape of the particles as well as their arrangement and the dielectric properties of their environment [2,3]. One may therefore manipulate the optical behaviour of metal particle assemblies in order to prepare materials with tailored optical absorption properties. The purpose... 

Experimentally, the optical absorption properties are usually determined by transmission measurements. The intensities of the incident (/q) and transmitted (/) radiation are compared as a function of frequency (or wavelength X) to obtain the optical density ... 

The optical absorption properties of noble metal nanoparticles in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum are determined by the effect of the boundary condition of the coherent electron oscillations as well as by d ip electronic transitions. Very small gold nanoparticles (d<2 nm), as well as bulk gold do not show a localized surface plasmon absorption band As discussed earlier (see Fig. 16.5), gold nanorods... 

The intermixing of the molecules also has a strong impact on the optical absorption properties. As shown in Figure 12.4, with increasing Cgo concentration in the mixed CuPc C6o films, the relative intensity of the CuPc absorption... 

For clusters of higher nuclearity too, the kinetic method for determining the redox potential (M /Mn) is based on electron transfer, for example, from mild reductants of known potential which are used as reference systems, towards charged clusters MjJ. [31] Note that the redox potential differs from the microelectrode potential °(M, M /M ) by the adsorption energy of Mon M (except for = 1). The principle [31 ] is to observe at which step n of the cascade of coalescence reactions, a reaction of electron transfer occurring between a donor S and the cluster could compete with the coalescence. Indeed, n is known from the coalescence rate constant value, measured in the absence of S, and from the time elapsed from the atom appearance to the start of coalescence. The donor S is produced by the same pulse as the atoms M°, the radiolytic radicals being shared between M and S. One form at least in the couple S/S should possess intense optical absorption properties to permit a detailed kinetics study.

PIL, an aprotic analogue with 1,3-dimethylimidazolium counter cations has been prepared as well. Branched polythiophenes with methylimidazolium bromide moieties have been introduced as novel polymeric materials that combine the characteristics of dendritic architecture, conjugated polymers, and IL groups. The IL-functionalization accounted for the good solubility in a room-temperature IL and did not significantly alter the optical absorption properties compared to the parent polythiophene, thus opening possible applications of such polymers in dye-sensitized solar cells or elec-trochromic devices. 

On the other hand, a CW laser produces larger, structural molecules rather than small fragments and stable molecules as opposed to radicals. It appears that heating with a CW laser is a promising method for obtaining molecular information from small sample volumes, but this depends also strongly on the thermal and optical absorption properties of the sample.

Earlier reports focused on the use of optical absorption properties of tissues for clinical applications (Wilson and Jacques, 1990). An example is blood oximetry, which is widely used clinically to monitor continuously blood oxygenation with the help of an optical fiber probe as described in the previous section. In this method the diffuse reflectance also collected by the fiber is analyzed based on the differences in the absorption bands of oxy and deoxyhemoglobins. Diffuse reflectance from the skin can be used to monitor changes induced, for example, by the UV radiation. Endoscopic reflectance spectroscopy from mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract has been used to determine blood content and oxygenation (Leung et al, 1989).
