The A 1(3Π) state of IBr is observed in a free-jet expansion of IBr in Ar, following photolysis with ArF laser irradiation. Laser excitation spectra are obtained for the β 1(3P2) ← A transition in medium (0.5 cm−1) and high (0.08 cm−1) resolution. Sixteen ν′–ν″ bands recorded in high resolution are rotationally analyzed, providing the first detailed characterization of the lowest three νlevels in the A state. An additional ~50 bandheads in the ν″ = 0 and 1 progressions are recorded for both I79Br and I81Br. The new data, which sample ν′ levels in the range 31–71, are combined with existing information for low ν in the β state to provide improved constants for the β state. These results are merged with least-squares parameters from a detailed reanalysis of existing data for the A and X(1Σ+) states to yield spectroscopic parameters valid for ν = 0–20 in the X state and ν = 0–26 in the A state. Among these results are the first precise estimates of the equilibrium parameters in the A state: Te = 12 369.68 (14) cm−1, ωe = 134.22 (13) cm−1, Be = 0.042 40 (5) cm−1, Re = 2.8583 (16) Å.

New high-resolution absorption and laser excitation spectra of the A3Π(1)–X1Σ+ system of IBr, consisting of approximately 4000 lines of over 40 bands spanning the vibrational range ν′ = 6–29 and ν″ = 1–4 for each of the two isotopomers, have been recorded and analyzed. Combined with previous microwave and infrared data and fluorescence progressions into the X state, and with new data obtained from laser excitation of the lowest levels of the A state, they formed the core of a global fit to mass-reduced Dunham expansions that yields new molecular constants for the A and X states of I79Br and I81Br. Inability to fully account for all data within the experimental uncertainties points to the existence of substantial perturbations or "non-mechanical" behaviour for A-state levels ν′ > 24.

The 0–0, 1–1, and 2–2 bands of the A2Π ← X2Σ system of TiN have been recorded using the technique of laser-excitation spectroscopy. Molecular constants have been obtained from direct least squares fits of the measured line positions of individual bands. The fitted constants confirm and extend previous determinations; for the A2Π state, some of the constants show unusually large variations with ν, in accord with the already known perturbation of this state in the ν = 0 level.

AbstractISHTAR (Internal Structure High-resolution Tomography by Asteroid Rendezvous) is a mission developed through ESA General Studies programme. The study, led by Astrium in cooperation with several scientific institutes throughout Europe, has produced a spacecraft design capable of performing multiple asteroid rendezvous and to characterize them with a focussed set of instruments. The ISHTAR concept is centred around a Radar Tomography paylod able to probe the internal structure of a small asteroid to depths of few hundred meters, combined with a small camera for investigation of the surface properties and a radio science experiment for gravity field measurement. This combination will allow the first detailed characterization of a NEO and will give valuable insights into the origin and evolution processes that govern the NEO population. In particular, ISHTAR will be able to visit at least 2 NEOs belonging to two different spectral classes, thereby allowing us to probe the diversity of the NEO population.

Materials research, biomedical research, and semiconductor manufacturing can all benefit from nondestructive, high-resolution methods of analysis. As most materials are heterogeneous, it is important to not only acquire high resolution topographic information, but also to identify the chemical composition of samples. A combination of high resolution microscopy with chemically sensitive spectroscopy combined in one instrument allows the detailed characterization of samples with different analytical techniques. When individual instruments are used, returning to a previously surveyed sample area can be very time consuming if not impossible without surface markers.

We describe the implementation and detailed characterization of a laser-triggered field-emitter electron source integrated into a modified transmission electron microscope. Highly coherent electron pulses enable high resolution ultrafast electron imaging and diffraction.

AbstractHigh resolution electron microscopy (HREM) is a powerful tool in materials research. This is especially true in the study of zeolites because most of the questions concerning the properties of zeolites require a detailed characterization of the local structure [1]. The potential of HREM is illustrated with studies on the growth of denser phases on Zeolite Y and Zeolite L.
