Determination of dynamical parameters in liquids by homodyne transient grating spectroscopy at large angles
Optics Letters
|August 29, 2014
Abstract:
We report on the possibility of extracting fast dynamical relaxation times from homodyne transient grating measurements. We demonstrate the validity of our approach by experimental measurements on liquid acetonitrile and by comparison with literature. This approach would be of tremendous help in the case of free-electron-laser-based transient grating experiments due to the overcoming of technical difficulties, such as large-angle geometries.

IR Spectroscopy: Hooke's Law Approximation of Molecular Vibration
3.3K
A covalently bonded heteronuclear diatomic molecule can be modeled as two vibrating masses connected by a spring. The vibrational frequency of the bond can be expressed using an equation derived from Hooke's law, which describes how the force applied to stretch or compress a spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring. In this case, the atoms behave like masses, and the bond acts like a spring.

UV–Vis Spectroscopy: Beer–Lambert Law
7.5K
The Beer-Lambert law describes the relationship between absorbance and concentration, which combines the principles established by scientists Johann Heinrich Lambert and August Beer. Lambert's law states that when light passes through a medium, the loss in intensity is directly proportional to the original intensity and the path length of the light. Beer's law proposed that the transmittance of a solution remains constant if the product of concentration and path length is constant. The modern...
