Hi-resolution infrared spectroscopy of nitrogen dioxide and water.


EMSL Project ID
3440

Abstract

Perform hi-resolution infrared spectroscopy of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) using a short path cell (1, 10, or 20 cm) and the Bruker IFS 120HR Fourier transform spectrometer located in EMSL 1130. Rotationally resolved spectra of several fundamental bands will be recorded at several sample pressures.
A second experiment performed during this time will also use the Bruker IFS 120HR to record the rotationally resolved, near infrared spectrum of water using the heated 8 meter White cell that is presently attached to the spectrometer.
