Infrared radiations

The first requirement is a source of infrared radiation that emits all frequencies of the spectral range being studied. This polychromatic beam is analyzed by a monochromator, formerly a system of prisms, today diffraction gratings. The movement of the monochromator causes the spectrum from the source to scan across an exit slit onto the detector. This kind of spectrometer in which the range of wavelengths is swept as a function of time and monochromator movement is called the dispersive type. [Pg.57]

The external reflection of infrared radiation can be used to characterize the thickness and orientation of adsorbates on metal surfaces. Buontempo and Rice [153-155] have recently extended this technique to molecules at dielectric surfaces, including Langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface. Analysis of the dichroic ratio, the ratio of reflectivity parallel to the plane of incidence (p-polarization) to that perpendicular to it (.r-polarization) allows evaluation of the molecular orientation in terms of a tilt angle and rotation around the backbone [153]. An example of the p-polarized reflection spectrum for stearyl alcohol is shown in Fig. IV-13. Unfortunately, quantitative analysis of the experimental measurements of the antisymmetric CH2 stretch for heneicosanol [153,155] stearly alcohol [154] and tetracosanoic [156] monolayers is made difflcult by the scatter in the IR peak heights.

In order to achieve a reasonable signal strength from the nonlinear response of approximately one atomic monolayer at an interface, a laser source with high peak power is generally required. Conuuon sources include Q-switched ( 10 ns pulsewidth) and mode-locked ( 100 ps) Nd YAG lasers, and mode-locked ( 10 fs-1 ps) Ti sapphire lasers. Broadly tunable sources have traditionally been based on dye lasers. More recently, optical parametric oscillator/amplifier (OPO/OPA) systems are coming into widespread use for tunable sources of both visible and infrared radiation. [Pg.1281]

Most infrared spectroscopy of complexes is carried out in tire mid-infrared, which is tire region in which tire monomers usually absorb infrared radiation. Van der Waals complexes can absorb mid-infrared radiation eitlier witli or without simultaneous excitation of intennolecular bending and stretching vibrations. The mid-infrared bands tliat contain tire most infonnation about intennolecular forces are combination bands, in which tire intennolecular vibrations are excited. Such spectra map out tire vibrational and rotational energy levels associated witli monomers in excited vibrational states and, tluis, provide infonnation on interaction potentials involving excited monomers, which may be slightly different from Arose for ground-state molecules.

The focus of this chapter is photon spectroscopy, using ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation. Because these techniques use a common set of optical devices for dispersing and focusing the radiation, they often are identified as optical spectroscopies. For convenience we will usually use the simpler term spectroscopy in place of photon spectroscopy or optical spectroscopy however, it should be understood that we are considering only a limited part of a much broader area of analytical methods. Before we examine specific spectroscopic methods, however, we first review the properties of electromagnetic radiation. [Pg.369]

Wavenumbers are frequently used to characterize infrared radiation, with the units given in reciprocal centimeter (cm ). [Pg.371]

Thermal Transducers Infrared radiation generally does not have sufficient energy to produce a measurable current when using a photon transducer. A thermal transducer, therefore, is used for infrared spectroscopy. The absorption of infrared photons by a thermal transducer increases its temperature, changing one or more of its characteristic properties. The pneumatic transducer, for example. [Pg.379]

In absorption spectroscopy a beam of electromagnetic radiation passes through a sample. Much of the radiation is transmitted without a loss in intensity. At selected frequencies, however, the radiation s intensity is attenuated. This process of attenuation is called absorption. Two general requirements must be met if an analyte is to absorb electromagnetic radiation. The first requirement is that there must be a mechanism by which the radiation s electric field or magnetic field interacts with the analyte. For ultraviolet and visible radiation, this interaction involves the electronic energy of valence electrons. A chemical bond s vibrational energy is altered by the absorbance of infrared radiation. A more detailed treatment of this interaction, and its importance in deter-... [Pg.380]

Infrared Spectra for Molecules and Polyatomic Ions The energy of infrared radiation is sufficient to produce a change in the vibrational energy of a molecule or polyatomic ion (see Table 10.1). As shown in Figure 10.14, vibrational energy levels are quantized that is, a molecule may have only certain, discrete vibrational energies. The energy for allowed vibrational modes, Ey, is...

Infrared instruments using a monochromator for wavelength selection are constructed using double-beam optics similar to that shown in Figure 10.26. Doublebeam optics are preferred over single-beam optics because the sources and detectors for infrared radiation are less stable than that for UV/Vis radiation. In addition, it is easier to correct for the absorption of infrared radiation by atmospheric CO2 and 1420 vapor when using double-beam optics. Resolutions of 1-3 cm are typical for most instruments. [Pg.393]

Infrared spectroscopy is routinely used for the analysis of samples in the gas, liquid, and solid states. Sample cells are made from materials, such as NaCl and KBr, that are transparent to infrared radiation. Gases are analyzed using a cell with a pathlength of approximately 10 cm. Longer pathlengths are obtained by using mirrors to pass the beam of radiation through the sample several times. [Pg.393]

In the process of absorption or emission of infrared radiation involving transitions between two vibrational states the interaction is usually between the molecule and the electric, rather than the magnetic, component of the electromagnetic radiation (see Section 2.1). For this... [Pg.166]

Infrared laser lines involving. .. 2p 5s —. .. 2p 4p transitions in the 3.39 pm region are not particularly usefiil. However, they do cause some problems in a 632.8 nm laser because they deplete the populations of the. ., 2p 5s states and decrease the 632.8 nm intensity. The 3.39 pm transitions are suppressed by using multilayer cavity mirrors designed specifically for the 632.8 nm wavelength or by placing a prism in the cavity orientated so as to deflect the infrared radiation out of the cavity. [Pg.353]

Optical Properties. Teflon FEP fluorocarbon film transmits more ultraviolet, visible light, and infrared radiation than ordinary window glass. The refractive index of FEP film is 1.341—1.347 (74). [Pg.361]

Q are the absorbance and wavenumber, respectively, at the peak (center) of the band, p is the wavenumber, and y is the half width of the band at half height. Liquid band positions ate usually shifted slightly downward from vapor positions. Both band positions and widths of solute spectra are affected by solute—solvent interactions. Spectra of soHd-phase samples are similar to those of Hquids, but intermolecular interactions in soHds can be nonisotropic. In spectra of crystalline samples, vibrational bands tend to be sharper and may spHt in two, and new bands may also appear. If polarized infrared radiation is used, both crystalline samples and stressed amorphous samples (such as a stretched polymer film) show directional effects (28,29). [Pg.197]

Thermal Emission Laws. AH bodies emit infrared radiation by virtue of their temperature. The total amount of radiation is governed by Kirchhoff s law, which states that a body at thermal equiUbrium, ie, at the same temperature as its surroundings, must emit as much radiation as it absorbs at each wavelength. An absolutely blackbody, one that absorbs all radiation striking it, must therefore emit the most radiation possible for a body at a given temperature. The emission of this so-called blackbody is used as the standard against which all emission measurements are compared. The total radiant emittance, M., for a blackbody at temperature Tis given by the Stefan-Boltzmaim law,... [Pg.202]
