ABSTRACTInfrared spectroscopy has been used to study hydrogen passivation of P, As, and Sb donors in Si. The spectra show several new absorption bands due to donor-H complexes. By comparing spectra after different heat treatments it is shown directly that the passivation is due to complex formation.

<div><div>Scattering-mode Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (sSNOM) allows one to obtain absorption spectra in the mid-IR region for samples as small as 20 nm in size. This configuration has made it possible to measure FTIR spectra of the protein complement of membranes. (Amenabar 2013) We now show that mid-IR sSNOM has the sensitivity required to measure spectra of phospholipids in individual bilayers in the spectral range 800 cm<sup>-1</sup>–1400 cm<sup>-1</sup>. We have observed the main absorption bands of the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine headgroups in this spectral region above noise level. We have also mapped the phosphate absorption band at 1070 cm<sup>-1</sup> simultaneously with the AFM topography. We have shown that we could achieve sufficient contrast to discriminate between single and multiple phospholipid bilayers and other structures, such as liposomes. This work opens the way to further research that uses nano-IR spectroscopy to describe the biochemistry of cell membranes and model systems.</div></div><div></div>

Yellow, cyan, magenta and black inks were extracted from documents printed using two common brands of printing cartridge in Nigerian market and analyzed to identify / compare the functional groups present using Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR). The FTIR spectra obtained were found to show highly characteristic absorption bands depending on the composition of the printer inks. Also, the results indicated the presence of triarylmethane dyes, epoxy resins, alkyd resin and esters in all the inks as they are peaks assigned to the vibration of aliphatic ester, asymmetrical and symmetrical stretching. The pure ink and its extract from the same band were also found to exhibit similar FTIR spectra while inks extract from different brands exhibits marked difference in absorption bands. This research can provide valuable information if an admitted sample is provided for comparing with the suspect printed document.

ABSTRACTWe summarize the recent results in hydrogen passivation in silicon, including presenting comprehensive diffusion profiles, i.e., profiles in floating zone n-type and p-type silicon vs resistivity. Domination of hydrogen diffusion by impurity trapping is clearly indicated for part of the profile in low resistivity p-type Si. Also mentioned are the current models of hydrogen passivation of dangling bonds, shallow acceptors, shallow donors, and hyper-deep defects.

A method is presented for the direct analysis of interferometric data from gas chromatography Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (GC/FTIR). A synthetic interferogram is initially produced which represents the characteristic absorption features of a particular functional group or compound class. A zero displacement correlation is performed between this test interferogram and each sample interferogram from the GC data. The presence of the desired functionality in the GC effluent is indicated by a small value of the resulting cumulative sum. A “correlogram” which emulates the response from a chemically specific GC detector is obtained by plotting the cumulative sum from each sample correlation. Synthetic interferograms representing infrared absorption bands which are truly specific for a particular functionality yield the best results.

In this endeavour, near infrared spectroscopy studies show evidence of variable composition in aurichalcite minerals of zinc copper carbonate hydroxides. The observation of a broad feature in the electronic part of the spectrum around 11,500 cm−1 (870 nm) is a strong indication of Cu2+ substitution for Zn2+ in the mineral. Overtones of OH vibrations in the spectra from 7250 to 5400 cm−1 (1380–1850 nm) show strong hydrogen bonding in these carbonates. A band common to spectra of all carbonates appears near 5400 cm−1 (1850 nm) due to the combination of both OH-stretching and HOH-bending vibrations, which may be attributed to adsorbed water. Aurichalcite minerals display a spectral sequence of five absorption bands with variation of both band positions and intensities and this is the chief spectral feature observed in the range 5200–5100 cm−1 (1920–2380 nm) due to vibrational processes of the carbonate ion. The frequency shift of carbonate bands suggests the effect of divalent cations and/or variations of the Zn/Cu ratio in aurichalcite minerals.

Abstract diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFT) and elemental analysis were employed to monitor biodegradation of black gum wood ( Nyssa sylvatica) during growth of the shiitake mushroom ( Lentinula edodes). Black gum was decayed for up to 4.3 years by L. edodes, during which time it was sampled at 19, 31, and 52 months. Biodegraded woods displayed increased % O (w/w) and decreased % C (w/w) relative to the undecayed control. The DRIFT spectra of decayed black gum showed a decrease in relative intensity of absorption bands at 1735 cm−1 assigned to carboxyl functional groups from xylans and an increase in the absorption band at 1640 cm−1 assigned to conjugated carbonyl groups originating from lignin. Xylan decay was rapid initially but slowed after 19 months; however, oxidative decay of the lignin side chains occurred throughout the 52-month decay period. Overall elemental and DRIFT data show that both polysaccharides and lignin were decayed during cultivation of the edible white-rot fungus.
