An Ocean Optics ISP-REF Integrating Sphere connected to USB4000 XRI spectrophotometer and Spectrasuite software was placed centrally above the diamond window of a GladiATR Single Reflection Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) Accessory on the Far-IR/THz Bruker IFS125HR FTIR spectrometer with OPUS software. By placing a drop of blood on the out-of-vacuum ATR window then positioning the small...

Refrigeration is of vital importance for modern society—for example, for food storage and air conditioning—and 25 to 30 per cent of the world’s electricity is consumed for refrigeration. Current refrigeration technology, mostly involving the conventional vapour compression cycle, is of growing environmental concern because of large amount of greenhouse gases released into atmosphere every...

76. Toward the phase analog of XAFS

XAFS in absorption and fluorescent modes has been one of the most commonly used techniques in a wide range of scientific research and applications. Current applications of XAFS to low absorbing samples such as ultra-thin films in semiconductors and nano-devices have been limited. As the real component of the complex refractive index (phase) is generally several orders of magnitude larger than...
