Although molecular inversion is a phenomenon which theoretically can occur in any nonplanar molecule, from the point of view of vibration-rotation spectroscopy inversion is of significance for relatively few molecules. Nevertheless, molecular inversion is ail interesting and important large-amplitude molecular motion. Inversion has pronounced effects on the spectra of certain molecules experimental as well as theoretical studies of these effects became an important part of the history of molecular spectroscopy. The results of these studies found also important applications, the best-known example being the celebrated NH3 molecular beam maser. 

In the previous subsections we briefly introduced some nonlinear techniques of Raman spectroscopy. Besides stimulated Raman spectroscopy, Raman gain spectroscopy, inverse Raman spectroscopy, and CARS, several other special techniques such as the Raman-induced Kerr effect [361] or coherent Raman ellipsometry [362] also offer attractive alternatives to conventional Raman spectroscopy.

In the first part of this chapter the experimental techniques of linear and nonlinear Raman spectroscopy of gases are reviewed. The nonlinear techniques (Stimulated Raman Gain Spectroscopy, Inverse Raman Spectroscopy, Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy, Photo-Acoustic Raman Spectroscopy, and Ionization-Detected Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy) have the capability of very high resolution, limited by the linewidths of the lasers used and pressure broadening effects. 

At a surface, not only can the atomic structure differ from the bulk, but electronic energy levels are present that do not exist in the bulk band structure. These are referred to as surface states . If the states are occupied, they can easily be measured with photoelectron spectroscopy (described in section A 1.7.5.1 and section Bl.25.2). If the states are unoccupied, a teclmique such as inverse photoemission or x-ray absorption is required [22, 23]. Also, note that STM has been used to measure surface states by monitoring the tunnelling current as a fiinction of the bias voltage [24] (see section BT20). This is sometimes called scamiing tuimelling spectroscopy (STS).

Given the interest and importance of chiral molecules, there has been considerable activity in investigating die corresponding chiral surfaces [, and 70]. From the point of view of perfomiing surface and interface spectroscopy with nonlinear optics, we must first examhie the nonlinear response of tlie bulk liquid. Clearly, a chiral liquid lacks inversion synnnetry. As such, it may be expected to have a strong (dipole-allowed) second-order nonlinear response. This is indeed true in the general case of SFG [71]. For SHG, however, the pemiutation synnnetry for the last two indices of the nonlinear susceptibility tensor combined with the... 

NMR spectroscopy is always struggling for increased sensitivity and resolution, as well as more efficient use of the instrument time. To this end, numerous improvements of the simple inversion-recovery method have been proposed over the years. An early and unportant modification is the so-called fast mversion recovery...

Figure Bl.22.4. Differential IR absorption spectra from a metal-oxide silicon field-effect transistor (MOSFET) as a fiinction of gate voltage (or inversion layer density, n, which is the parameter reported in the figure). Clear peaks are seen in these spectra for the 0-1, 0-2 and 0-3 inter-electric-field subband transitions that develop for charge carriers when confined to a narrow (<100 A) region near the oxide-semiconductor interface. The inset shows a schematic representation of the attenuated total reflection (ATR) arrangement used in these experiments. These data provide an example of the use of ATR IR spectroscopy for the probing of electronic states in semiconductor surfaces [44]-...

A number of surface-sensitive spectroscopies rely only in part on photons. On the one hand, there are teclmiques where the sample is excited by electromagnetic radiation but where other particles ejected from the sample are used for the characterization of the surface (photons in electrons, ions or neutral atoms or moieties out). These include photoelectron spectroscopies (both x-ray- and UV-based) [89, 9Q and 91], photon stimulated desorption [92], and others. At the other end, a number of methods are based on a particles-in/photons-out set-up. These include inverse photoemission and ion- and electron-stimulated fluorescence [93, M]- All tirese teclmiques are discussed elsewhere in tliis encyclopaedia. 

In a coupled spin system, the number of observed lines in a spectrum does not match the number of independent z magnetizations and, fiirthennore, the spectra depend on the flip angle of the pulse used to observe them. Because of the complicated spectroscopy of homonuclear coupled spins, it is only recently that selective inversions in simple coupled spin systems [23] have been studied. This means that slow chemical exchange can be studied using proton spectra without the requirement of single characteristic peaks, such as methyl groups. 

For the same reason inverse addition was applied introduction of carbon dioxide into the solution of RCH=C=CHLi has been shown to give bad results note 2. The actual yields (based on MNR spectroscopy) are between 75 and 85%. 

In the chapter on vibrational spectroscopy (Chapter 6) 1 have expanded the discussions of inversion, ring-puckering and torsional vibrations, including some model potential functions. These types of vibration are very important in the determination of molecular structure. 

Other techniques in which incident photons excite the surface to produce detected electrons are also Hsted in Table 1. X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy (xps), which is also known as electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (esca), is based on the use of x-rays which stimulate atomic core level electron ejection for elemental composition information. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (ups) is similar but uses ultraviolet photons instead of x-rays to probe atomic valence level electrons. Photons are used to stimulate desorption of ions in photon stimulated ion angular distribution (psd). Inverse photoemission (ip) occurs when electrons incident on a surface result in photon emission which is then detected. 

Several properties of the filler are important to the compounder (279). Properties that are frequentiy reported by fumed sihca manufacturers include the acidity of the filler, nitrogen adsorption, oil absorption, and particle size distribution (280,281). The adsorption techniques provide a measure of the surface area of the filler, whereas oil absorption is an indication of the stmcture of the filler (282). Measurement of the sdanol concentration is critical, and some techniques that are commonly used in the industry to estimate this parameter are the methyl red absorption and methanol wettabihty (273,274,277) tests. Other techniques include various spectroscopies, such as diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (drift), inverse gas chromatography (igc), photoacoustic ir, nmr, Raman, and surface forces apparatus (277,283—290).
