We fabricated a lateral photovoltaic device for use as infrared to terahertz (THz) detectors by chemically depositing PbS films on titanium substrates. We discussed the material properties of PbS films grown on glass with varying deposition conditions. PbS was deposited on Ti substrates and by taking advantage of the Ti/PbS Schottky junction, we discussed the photocurrent transients as well as the room temperature spectrum response measured by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Our photovoltaic PbS device operates at room temperature for wavelength ranges up to 50 µm, which is in the terahertz region, making the device highly applicable in many fields.

The infrared spectra of CH3CH2COONa and its 13C-labeled modifications (1-13C, 2-13C, and 3-13C) suspended in KBr disks were measured in the region 4000 -200 cm-1 at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature. Overlapping complex band contours appeared in some regions of the room temperature spectrum, most notably in the region 1500 -1350 cm-1, where 5 fundamentals having contributions from the methyl deformation, methylene bending, and carboxylate stretching modes should occur. In contrast to this, excellent resolution was reached at the low temperature, from which all 22 fundamentals expected in the whole spectral region investigated were detected. A complete assignment of the fundamentals is proposed mainly on the basis of the characteristic isotopic shifts of the three 13C substituted sodium propionate species. A fair number of the fundamentals were found to feature coupled modes having contributions from several group vibrations.

Abstract Incubation of class II chloroplasts of spinach with copper in the light at pH = 8 in concentrations that inhibit oxygen evolution results in the formation of a copper (II) protein complex with the photosynthetic membrane. The EPR spectra indicate that the four nearest ligands to Cu(II) consist of three oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom. The copper (II) protein appears to be pre­ dominantly associated with photosystem II. The formation of this protein as measured by the EPR signal amplitude of its room temperature spectrum correlates with the inhibition of oxygen evolution and of electron transport within photosystem I. This result indicates that the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport by copper may be due to the formation of a copper (II) chelate with a membrane protein.

Abstract The dielectric spectrum of the title substance ('neohexanol') in its pure liquid state is reported for 293 K up to 71 GHz and, for a restricted frequency range, also for lower temperatures (down to 253 K). The room temperature spectrum resembles that of alicyclic alcohols, in particular cyclopentanol, with respect to spectral shape, main relaxation time and the relation of the latter to viscosity, which similarity may be connected with the fact that these alcohols are able to form 'plastic crystals'.

AbstractStar-shaped arylacetylene resins, tris(3-ethynyl-phenylethynyl)methylsilane, tris(3-ethynyl-phenylethynyl) phenylsilane, and tris (3-ethynyl-phenylethynyl) silane (TEPHS), were synthesized through Grignard reaction between 1,3-diethynylbenzene and three types of trichlorinated silanes. The chemical structures and properties of the resins were characterized by means of nuclear magnetic resonance, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Haake torque rheomoter, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, mechanical test, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results show that the melt viscosity at 120 °C is lower than 150 mPa⋅s, and the processing windows are as wide as 60 °C for the resins. The resins cure at the temperature as low as 150 °C. The good processabilities make the resins to be suitable for resin transfer molding. The cured resins exhibit high flexural modulus and excellent heat-resistance. The flexural modulus of the cured TEPHS at room temperature arrives at as high as 10.9 GPa. Its temperature of 5% weight loss (Td5) is up to 697 °C in nitrogen. The resins show the potential for application in fiber-reinforced composites as high-performance resin in the field of aviation and aerospace.
