Infrared Spectra of La_(0.65)Ba_xMnO_(3-δ) Oxides

The infrared spectra of La_(0.65)Ba_xMnO_(3-|?￡(c) (x = 0.35, 0.33 and 0.30) were investigated experimentally. The result shows that the sample La_(0.65)Ba_xMnO_(3-|?￡(c) has the largest Curie temperature and the smallest resistivity and wave number of the stretching vibration mode of MnO_6 octaheUron at 300 K among the investigated samples. However, the absorption strength for the stretching vibration mode of Mn0_6 octahedron in La_(0.65)Ba_xMnO_(3-|?￡(c) is stronger for parainagnetic phase than that for ferromagnelic phase, which may be connected with the reducing of the dynamic in- coherent Jahn-Teller distortion below Curie temperature. In addition, the large shift of wave number for the stretching mode at the temperatures from 293 to 423 K has been observed in La_(0.65)Ba_xMnO_(3-|?￡(c), which may be due to the in- crease of the Mn-O bond length with temperature increasing.

Syntheses and Infrared Spectra of Rare Earth Complexes with Diethyl Phosphate

The title complexes Ln(DEP),(Ln=La,Sm,Eu,Ho and Yb)were synthesized by reaction of triethyl phosphate with trivalent rare earth chlorides.The mechanism of thermo-decomposition of the complexes has been studied.According to their IR spectra,the residues of the thermo-decomposition of the complexes were identified as Ln(PO_3)_3.Their IR spectra were measured and principal IR bands were assigned.The experimental results of the IR spectra of the complexes show that the title complexes have the same coordination form and mo- lecular configuration as rare earth,e.g.Sm,complex with dimethyl phosphate(Sm(DMP)_3).Each of the rare earth ion links three rare earth ions nearby through double“O-P-O”bridges to form a special network of rings-linking-rings,each of which consists of twenty-four atoms.The Ln-O bond is principally ionic.

Spectra selection methods:A novel optimization way for treating dynamic spectra and in-line near infrared modeling

Near infrared(NIR)spectroscopy is now widely used influidized bed granulation.However,there are still some demerits that should be overcome in practice.Valid spectra selection during modeling process is now a hard nut to crack.In this study,a novel NIR sensor and a cosine distance method were introduced to solve this problem in order to make thefluidized process into"visualization".A NIR sensor wasfixed on the side of the expansion chamber to acquire the NIR spectra.Then valid spectra were selected based on a cosine distance method to reduce the influence of dynamic disturbances.Finally,spectral pretreatment and wavelength selection methods were investigated to establish partial least squares(PLS)models to monitor the mois-ture content.The results showed that the root mean square error of prediction(RMSEP)was 0.124%for moisture content model,which was much lower than that without valid spectra selection treatment.All results demonstrated that with the help of valid spectra selection treatment,NIR sensor could be used for real-time determination of critical quality attributes(CQAs)more accurately.It makes the manufacturing easier to understand than the process parameter control.

Characteristic wavelength selection of volatile organic compounds infrared spectra based on improved interval partial least squares

As important components of air pollutant,volatile organic compounds(VOCs)can cause great harm to environment and human body.The concentration change of VOCs should be focused on in real-time environment monitoring system.In order to solve the problem of wavelength redundancy in full spectrum partial least squares(PLS)modeling for VOCs concentration analysis,a new method based on improved interval PLS(iPLS)integrated with Monte-Carlo sampling,called iPLS-MC method,was proposed to select optimal characteristic wavelengths of VOCs spectra.This method uses iPLS modeling to preselect the characteristic wavebands of the spectra and generates random wavelength combinations from the selected wavebands by Monte-Carlo sampling.The wavelength combination with the best prediction result in regression model is selected as the characteristic wavelengths of the spectrum.Different wavelength selection methods were built,respectively,on Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectra of ethylene and ethanol gas at different concentrations obtained in the laboratory.When the interval number of iPLS model is set to 30 and the Monte-Carlo sampling runs 1000 times,the characteristic wavelengths selected by iPLS-MC method can reduce from 8916 to 10,which occupies only 0.22%of the full spectrum wavelengths.While the RMSECV and correlation coefficient(Rc)for ethylene are 0.2977 and 0.9999 ppm,and those for ethanol gas are 0.2977 ppm and 0.9999.The experimental results show that the iPLS-MC method can select the optimal characteristic wavelengths of VOCs FTIR spectra stably and effectively,and the prediction performance of the regression model can be significantly improved and simplified by using characteristic wavelengths.

The population ratio between the excited states of rubidium in the electrodeless discharge rubidium vapour lamp is calculated according to the near-infrared spectra in the region of 780-1550 nm. By using a 1529 nm laser, we measure the density of natural rubidium atoms at the 5P3/2 level. The populations of different excited states are then clarified.

p -type CZ silicon crystals annealed at 450℃ have been investigated by low temperature infrared spectroscopy with high resolusion. It has been shown that the 2p± and 3p± bands of neutral thermal donors TD~° are all split into two bands, which have not been reported before. In addition, the concentrations ofindi- vidual TD_i and total TD have been derived from the heights of 2po bands, and the boron concentrations de- rived from that of 320 cm^(-1) band. The room temperature resistivities of samples have been evaluated and the comparison with practically measured resistivities have been made.

Study on Membrane Microstructures and Characteristics of Infrared Spectra and Nitrogen Release of Solid-Liquid Reaction Coated Urea

The membrane microstructures and the mechanism of two coated ureas formed through solid- liquid reaction were observed by scanning electron microscope and infrared spectra, the relation of the structural characteristics with the nitrogen release feature was also discussed by combining with nitrogen dissolution in water. The results showed that the membranes were made of solid particles tightly connected to each other and were piled up layer by layer through liquid glue. Porosity and aperture of membrane were determined by compactness of piled layers and the particles in a single layer and also related to the characteristics of coating materials. Research of the infrared spectra of membrane, made of a solid powder and a liquid glue, proved that O-H on the solid surface was bonded with the double bond of the liquid glue, thus forming membrane and keeping it stable. It was found that the two coated ureas showed obvious differences in nitrogen releasing due to their membrane structures, the porosity and aperture of membrane were the critical factors for nitrogen releasing.

Raman and infrared spectra of complex low energy tetrahedral carbon allotropes from first-principles calculations

Up to now,at least 806 carbon allotropes have been proposed theoretically.Three interesting carbon allotropes(named Pbam-32,P6/mmm,and I43d)were recently uncovered based on a random sampling strategy combined with space group and graph theory.The calculation results show that they are superhard and remarkably stable compared with previously proposed metastable phases.This indicates that they are likely to be synthesized in experiment.We use the factor group analysis method to analyze theirΓ-point vibrational modes.Owing to their large number of atoms in primitive unit cells(32 atoms in Pbam-32,36 atoms in P6/mmm,and 94 atoms in I43d),they have many Raman-and infrared-active modes.There are 48 Raman-active modes and 37 infrared-active modes in Pbam-32,24 Raman-active modes and 14 infrared-active modes in P6/mmm,and 34 Raman-active modes and 35 Raman-and infrared-active modes in I43d.Their calculated Raman spectra can be divided into middle frequency range from 600 cm-1 to 1150 cm-1 and high frequency range above 1150 cm-1.Their largest infrared intensities are 0.82,0.77,and 0.70(D/Å)2/amu for Pbam,P6/mmm,and I43d,respectively.Our calculated results provide an insight into the lattice vibrational spectra of these sp3 carbon allotropes and suggest that the middle frequency Raman shift and infrared spectrum may play a key role in identifying newly proposed carbon allotropes.

We have studied the far-infrared spectra of two-electron vertically coupled quantum dots in an axial magnetic field by exact diagonalization. The calculated results show an obvious difference in role between the interactions for spin S = 1 and for spin S = O. The results support the possibility to evaluate the interactions by far-infrared spectroscopy in vertically coupled quantum dots.

Airborne Shortwave Infrared Spectral Remote Sensing as a Direct Prospecting Method for Oil and Gas Resources

The spectral characters of hydrocarbons in some oil-bearing strata and soil layers over oil and gas reservoirs in the Junggar Basin and northern Tarim Basin in Xinjiang are compared with those of chemically pure hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are characterized by the bi-absorption at 2310nm and 2350nm. Hydrocarbon and radioactive anomalies in oil and gas terrains are found much more widespread than carbonate altcrations. Based on the spectra of heavy hydrocarbons related to oil between 2270nm and 2460nm and refined data treatme nt, remote sensing may hold encouraging promise as a directly prospecting technique for oil and gas resources.

Solvent effects on infrared spectra of 2—Methyl—4,5—dimethoxy—3—oxo—2H—Pyridizine：Part 2.Binary Solvent SYstems

This research on the solvent effects of 2-methyl-4,5-dimethoxy-3-oxo-2H-pyridizine(MDOP) in binary solvent systems on the infrared spectra for MDOP in n-hexane/CHCl3 mixture solvents showed that there were three forms of carbonyl stretching vibration band[v(C=O)] of MPOP as mole fraction of CHCl3 in the binary solvents changes.In pure n-hexane solvent,the v(C=O) of MODP appeared at a relatively high wavenumber.With CHCl3 added,the v(C=O) shifted to lower wavenumbers.Two new bands were observed over a certain range of mixture solvent compositions.The origin of the bands was discussed in the terms of two kinds of hydrogen bond together with their individual dependence on mixture composition.COmparisons were drawn for the solvent sensitivities of v(C=O) for propanone.

FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED STUDIES OF POLY (ETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE) FILM IN THE GLASS TRANSITION REGION

Three specimens from a solution-cast poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film, one being liquid-N_2 quenched from 92℃(Q), one being slowly cooled from 92℃(SC) and one being quenched and sub-T_g annealed at 67℃(AN), have been studied by specimen difference spectra Q-SC and AN-Q and temperature difference spectra T-70 and T_2-T_1 for every 2℃ steps on heating to 90℃ at 2℃ /min. SC and AN showed more gauche conformers than Q. That means that the PET chain has more trans conformers at higher temperatures and some of these are frozen during quenching through T_g. A band at 1340 cm^(-1) has been found to be complex containing overlapping bands reflecting trans in crystalline regions and trans in amorphous regions. The temperature difference spectra on heating through T_g showed that the spectral changes in Q are gradual while a rather abrupt change occurs in AN at 80—82℃ for the bands at 1340, 1042 and 1020 cm^(-1). No new conformational structure or new vibrational mode is involved. A kind of locking mechanism is suggested which hinders the molecular vibrational changes in AN below T_g until a sudden release occurs at T_g. These locking sites can be nothing else than sites of tighter local packing of chain segments. Consequently it is believed that inter-chain van der Waals attraction energy plays a dominating role in the volume relaxation and sub-T_g annealing of quenched amorphous polymers.
