The Coblentz Society/ABB - Bomem-Michelson Award
The Coblentz Society/ABB - Bomem-Michelson Award will be presented to Brooks H. Pate, the William R. Kenan, Jr. professor of chemistry at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, Virginia), on Tuesday morning at Pittcon 2013.
Session 910, Room 126B, 8:00 a.m.
The Coblentz Society/ABB – Bomem-Michelson Award will be presented to Brooks H. Pate, the William R. Kenan, Jr. professor of chemistry at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, Virginia), on Tuesday morning at Pittcon 2013. The award, which is dedicated to the memory of Professor A. E. Michelson, developer of the Michelson Interferometer, will be presented by the Coblentz Society. ABB sponsors the award to honor a scientist who has advanced the technique(s) of vibrational, molecular, Raman, or electronic spectroscopy.
Pate, a graduate of the University of Virginia, received his PhD in Chemistry from Princeton University (Princeton, New Jersey) and was a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (Gaithersburg, Maryland). His research group has used ultrafast infrared laser spectroscopy and high-resolution spectroscopy to study the structure and dynamics of molecules and clusters. He introduced the technique of chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy and the field dynamic rotational spectroscopy. Current applications of broadband rotational spectroscopy include chemical analysis and interstellar chemistry.
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy Reveals Influence of Defects on 2D Semiconductor Devices
April 25th 2024A recent study used deep level transient spectroscopy to investigate the electrical response of defect filling and emission in monolayer metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)-grown materials deposited on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible substrates.
Single Cell and Microplastic Analysis by ICP-MS with Automated Micro-Flow Sample Introduction
April 25th 2024Single cell ICP-MS (scICP-MS) is increasingly seen as a powerful and fast tool for the measurement of elements in individual cells, mainly due to the high sensitivity and selectivity of ICP-MS. Analysis is performed in the same way as single nanoparticle (spICP-MS) analysis, which has become a well-established technique for the analysis of nanoparticles and particles.
