What is Atomic Absorption Spectrometry? AAS is a technique for determining how much of a specific element is present in the specimen under study. The uptake of optical radiation by neutral atoms in ...

Why is Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Used? One of the main techniques for evaluating the optical properties of materials is optical absorption spectroscopy, or UV-vis spectroscopy. Most absorption ...

Can you briefly explain what transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy is and why it is important? Transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy is a pump-and-probe technique used to study the absorption of ...

X-ray spectroscopic techniques rely on the element-specificity of inner-shell photoexcitation/ionization to probe electronic densities with atomic-site precision. The ...

What’s the story behind DNA melting temperature analysis? UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy can be used to assess the characteristics of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a naturally occurring polymer ...

Herein, the O K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) profile of an aqueous acetonitrile solution presented a distinct sharp peak not commonly observed in the corresponding profile of liquid water.

Charge-carrier traps play a central role in the excited-state dynamics of semiconductor nanocrystals, but their influence is often difficult to measure directly. In CdS and CdSe nanorods of nonuniform ...

What is UV-Vis Spectroscopy? UV-Vis spectroscopy, short for ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, is an analytical technique that measures the absorption or reflectance of light by a sample in the ...
