Time resolved microwave conductivity 1970-01-01
Time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) is a technique used to investigate the dynamics of charge carriers in materials, particularly in semiconductors and organic materials. This method combines microwave spectroscopy with time-resolved techniques to provide detailed information about the conductivity changes in a material following the excitation of charge carriers, such as electrons and holes. ### Basic Principles 1.
Transmissometer 1970-01-01
A transmissometer is an instrument used to measure the transmission of light through a medium, often employed in various fields such as meteorology, environmental monitoring, and telecommunications. It quantifies how much light is able to pass through a medium, which can be air, water, or other substances, and is particularly useful for assessing visibility conditions. In meteorology, for instance, transmissometers are commonly used to measure atmospheric visibility, which can be affected by factors like fog, rain, dust, and pollution.
Triplet-triplet annihilation 1970-01-01
Triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) is a photophysical process that occurs in molecular systems, particularly those involving organic molecules or organic semiconductors. This phenomenon involves the interaction of two triplet excited states, leading to a variety of interesting outcomes, typically in the context of energy transfer and photon generation. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Triplet States**: Molecules can be excited to higher energy levels upon absorption of photons.
Triplet state 1970-01-01
A triplet state is a specific type of quantum state that arises in the context of molecular and atomic systems, particularly in the study of excited states of molecules and the behavior of electrons. It is characterized by the total spin quantum number \( S = 1 \), which means that there are three possible projections of the spin angular momentum, referred to as \( m_S = +1, 0, \) and \( -1 \).
Two-dimensional correlation analysis 1970-01-01
Two-dimensional correlation analysis is a statistical technique used to examine the relationship between two variables in a two-dimensional space. It allows researchers to analyze how changes in one variable correspond to changes in another variable and to assess the strength and direction of their relationship. This type of analysis is particularly useful in fields such as economics, psychology, biology, and many others where two variables are often interdependent.
UV-Vis absorption spectroelectrochemistry 1970-01-01
UV-Vis absorption spectroelectrochemistry is a powerful analytical technique that combines ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy with electrochemistry. This method allows researchers to study the electronic properties and behaviors of chemical species in solution as a function of their oxidation state, charge, or potential applied during electrochemical experiments. ### Key Components: 1. **UV-Vis Absorption Spectroscopy**: - UV-Vis spectroscopy measures the absorption of ultraviolet and visible light by a sample.
Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy 1970-01-01
Ultrasound attenuation spectroscopy is a technique used to measure the attenuation (loss of intensity) of ultrasound waves as they pass through a material. The primary principle behind this method is that different materials and their physical properties will affect how ultrasound waves propagate, including how they lose energy through scattering and absorption.
Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy of stereoisomers 1970-01-01
Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to measure the absorbance of ultraviolet and visible light by a substance. When applied to stereoisomers, it can help distinguish between different conformations and configurations of molecules that have the same molecular formula but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Stereoisomers**: These are compounds that have the same molecular formula and connectivity of atoms but different spatial arrangements.
Vapochromism 1970-01-01
Vapochromism is a phenomenon where certain materials change color in response to exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or various vapors. This change in color is typically due to the interaction of the vapors with the chemical structure of the material, which can involve changes in electron configuration or molecular interactions. Vapochromic materials can include certain dyes, polymers, and coordination complexes that exhibit this behavior.
Vibrational analysis with scanning probe microscopy 1970-01-01
Vibrational analysis with scanning probe microscopy (SPM) refers to a set of techniques that combine the capabilities of scanning probe microscopy (such as atomic force microscopy, or AFM, and scanning tunneling microscopy, or STM) with vibrational spectroscopy techniques to study the vibrational modes and properties of materials at the nanoscale.
Vibronic spectroscopy 1970-01-01
Vibronic spectroscopy is a technique that combines vibrational and electronic spectroscopies to study the interactions between the electronic and vibrational states of molecules. The term "vibronic" itself is derived from the combination of "vibrational" and "electronic," indicating that it addresses both aspects simultaneously.
Video spectroscopy 1970-01-01
Video spectroscopy is an advanced technique that combines video imaging with spectroscopic analysis to study the properties of materials and analyze dynamic processes in real time. It typically involves capturing video footage of a sample while simultaneously collecting spectral information about the light interacting with the sample. The key components of video spectroscopy include: 1. **Imaging**: High-speed cameras or video cameras capture the visual aspects of the sample, allowing for the observation of dynamic changes, movements, or reactions over time.
Virtually imaged phased array 1970-01-01
A Virtually Imaged Phased Array (VIPA) is an advanced optical imaging technique that enhances the capabilities of traditional phased array systems. VIPA technology is primarily used in applications like spectroscopy, imaging, and sensing, where high resolution and rapid data acquisition are essential. ### Key Features of VIPA: 1. **Optical Interference and Imaging**: VIPA utilizes the principle of optical interference to generate multiple virtual images of an object.

The William F. Meggers Award in Spectroscopy is a prestigious award given by the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) to recognize outstanding achievements in the field of spectroscopy. Named in honor of William F. Meggers, a prominent figure in the field who made significant contributions to spectroscopic techniques, the award is intended to honor individuals who have made significant advancements and innovations in spectroscopy, whether in theory, instrumentation, or application.
Wolf effect 1970-01-01
The "Wolf effect" is not a widely recognized term in scientific literature. However, it is often referenced in discussions related to ecology, behavior, or economics, typically in the context of predator-prey relationships or social behavior. One potential interpretation relates to ecological studies discussing how the presence of apex predators, like wolves, can impact the behavior of prey species and entire ecosystems.
Zeeman effect 1970-01-01
The Zeeman effect is a phenomenon in physics observed when the spectral lines of atoms are split into multiple components in the presence of a magnetic field. This splitting results from the interaction between the magnetic field and the magnetic dipole moment associated with the angular momentum of electrons within an atom. When an atom is placed in a magnetic field, the degeneracy of energy levels associated with electronic states is lifted due to the different orientations of the magnetic moments relative to the field direction.
Zeeman–Doppler imaging 1970-01-01
Zeeman-Doppler imaging is a technique used in astrophysics and stellar spectroscopy to study the magnetic fields and surface features of stars. This method combines two key effects: the Zeeman effect and the Doppler effect. 1. **Zeeman Effect**: This phenomenon occurs when the presence of a magnetic field splits the spectral lines of elements in a star's atmosphere into multiple components. The degree of splitting provides information about the strength and orientation of the magnetic field.
