The most investigated crystals from the polariton point of view are ionic crystals, studied by IR spectroscopy.156 (Other applications of polariton theory are time spectroscopy and nonlinear optics in semiconductors182 and semiconductor-doped glasses.183) The mixed crystals are of the type K(C1, Br)... 

Spectroscopy and kinetics are related through the dimension of time—spectroscopy uses frequency, kinetics uses time. The interaction of the nuclear magnetic moment with an outside magnetic field forms the basis of NMR. In the closely related ESR, it is the electron s magnetic moment that interacts with the magnetic field. 

When Ramsay repeated Cavendish s experiments in the 1890s, he, too, found a tiny amount of unidentified gas in the air. But Ramsay had an advantage over Cavendish he could use spectroscopy, which did not exist in Cavendish s time. Spectroscopy is the process of analyzing light produced when an element is heated. The spectrum (plural spectra) of an element consists of a series of colored lines and is different for every element.

Changes in d-d transition spectra can be used to characterise and identify solvent and anion co-ordination to a transition metal ion or complex. (Unfortunately there are no equally convenient transitions available with non-transition metal ions.) While the number of transition metal-solvent complexes now known is too large to detail here, it is worth noting that sometimes these compounds have been used to further spectroscopic theory, but at other times spectroscopy has been used to assess their stability. 

Positron Annihilation Life Time Spectroscopy (PALS) and Free Yolnme... 

The technique uses two or more tuned conventional pulse echo electric sensors connected to a single wide-band transducer. The data obtained are displayed on a single cathode-ray tube by means of a multitrace procedure. However, the data has frequency as a parameter. This technique has the potent of real-time spectroscopy and is suitable for the observation of transient phenomena. 

Probe construction materials were investigated for their signal contribution to ultrashort echo time spectroscopy and imaging. H-1, C-13, and P-31 spectra were obtained at a field strength of 9.4 T for 16 materials considered for use in probe and holder design and construction. Four of the materials were found to be suited for the construction of NMR probes, housing of RF coils, and holders for in vivo experiments. 

Concerning the observation of wave packet propagation phenomena, the Ka molecule is another promising candidate. Theoretical calculations [82] predicted an electronic state comparable to the Naa B state at about 800 nm. Different, highly sensitive methods, such as MPI and depletion spectroscopy, were applied but failed [83]. However, as presented in Sect. 3.2.5, with femtosecond real-time spectroscopy it is possible to observe both the vibrational and the dissociation dynamics of this system. This, once again, is an example of the complementarity of cw and femtosecond spectroscopy. 

Femtosecond real-time spectroscopy requires sophisticated experimental and theoretical techniques. Some experimental basics are given in this chapter. A few remarks on the theoretical basics relevant to the investigations presented in this book are included in the second part of this chapter. It should be pointed out that this treatment is intended to give a rapid overview but is not at all complete. Those readers who are looking for a more detailed description of these fascinating experimental and theoretical techniques should therefore consult the references given in Sects. 2.1 and 2.2.
