AbstractA new instrumental concept for interference spectroscopy called Spatial Heterodyne Spectroscopy (SHS) is described. This instrument as currently demonstrated could provide important information on the structure, excitation, and dynamics of the ≃ 105 K component of the interstellar medium by providing velocity-resolved (20 km s−1) maps of the faint FUV emission line background over a hemisphere of the sky within a 5-6 year observation period. We are currently studying concepts expected to reduce this time by at least an order of magnitude.In the SHS technique, an all-reflection dispersive interferometer produces a Fourier transform of the spectrum as two-dimensional spatial frequencies on an imaging detector. The system does not require scanning, and measures its own internal alignment state. Although the system suffers the conventional Fourier transform multiplex disadvantage associated with the photon noise in the background FUV continuum, we estimate that for a broad-band survey Spatial Heterodyne Spectroscopy as currently demonstrated can provide 4-5 fold gains over practical grating spectrometers of similar dimensions and spatial and spectral resolution. Field widened methods currently being studied promise additional gains of two orders of magnitude.

Imaging Spectroscopy is a technique in which a spectrum is obtained for each spatial resolution element across a wide field. The data is essentially 3-D, and may be viewed as a series of monochromatic images, or as a two dimensional array of spectra. A device generating such data may be called an imaging spectrometer. In a previous paper (Atherton, 1983 SPIE 445, 535) three different imaging spectrometers - based on grating, Fabry-Perot and Fourier Transform devices - were compared in terms of their ability to obtain spectral and spatial information over a wide field and broad band, to the same spectral resolution and S/N ratio, using the same detector array. From such a study it is clear that interferometer based devices are significantly faster than conventional grating spectrographs.

Electron Energy Loss

Quantitative electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) needs a correction for the limited collection aperture α and a deconvolution of recorded spectra for eliminating the influence of multiple inelastic scattering. Reversely, it is of interest to calculate the influence of multiple scattering on EELS. The distribution f(w,θ,z) of scattered electrons as a function of energy loss w, scattering angle θ and reduced specimen thickness z=t/Λ (Λ=total mean-free-path) can either be recorded by angular-resolved EELS or calculated by a convolution of a normalized single-scattering function ϕ(w,θ). For rotational symmetry in angle (amorphous or polycrystalline specimens) this can be realised by the following sequence of operations :(1)where the two-dimensional distribution in angle is reduced to a one-dimensional function by a projection P, T is a two-dimensional Fourier transform in angle θ and energy loss w and the exponent -1 indicates a deprojection and inverse Fourier transform, respectively.

AbstractEuropium-doped hexagonal-mesostructured and nanotubular yttrium oxides templated by dodecylsulfate species as well as surfactant free bulk oxides were synthesized by the homogeneous precipitation method. All the as grown nanostructured or bulk materials with amorphous or poorly crystalline frameworks showed weak luminescence bands at room temperature. On calcination at 1000°C these materials were converted into highly crystalline yttrium oxides, resulting in a total increase in intensity of all the bands by one order of magnitude. In the hexagonal-mesostructured system, the main band due to the 5D0-7F2 transition for the calcined phases showed a sharp but asymmetrical multiplet splitting indicating multiple Eu sites. Concentration quenching was found at a Eu content of 3 mol% or above for these phases. In contrast, the main emission for the calcined solids in the nanotubular system occurred as poorly resolved broad band and the intensity of the main band at higher Eu content was significantly enhanced compared with those for the other two systems.

AbstractA large variety of molecules contain large amplitude motions (LAMs), inter alia internal rotation and inversion tunneling, resulting in tunneling splittings in their rotational spectrum. We will present the modern strategy to study LAMs using a combination of molecular jet Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy, spectral modeling, and quantum chemical calculations to characterize such systems by the analysis of their rotational spectra. This interplay is particularly successful in decoding complex spectra revealing LAMs and providing reference data for fundamental physics, astrochemistry, atmospheric/environmental chemistry and analytics, or fundamental researches in physical chemistry. Addressing experimental key aspects, a brief presentation on the two most popular types of state-of-the-art Fourier transform microwave spectrometer technology, i.e., pulsed supersonic jet expansion–based spectrometers employing narrow-band pulse or broad-band chirp excitation, will be given first. Secondly, the use of quantum chemistry as a supporting tool for rotational spectroscopy will be discussed with emphasis on conformational analysis. Several computer codes for fitting rotational spectra exhibiting fine structure arising from LAMs are discussed with their advantages and drawbacks. Furthermore, a number of examples will provide an overview on the wealth of information that can be drawn from the rotational spectra, leading to new insights into the molecular structure and dynamics. The focus will be on the interpretation of potential barriers and how LAMs can act as sensors within molecules to help us understand the molecular behavior in the laboratory and nature.
