Infrared and CARS Spectroscopy of Cyclopropane

Lead Institution
Oregon State University
Principal Investigator
Joseph Nibler
Project type
Exploratory Research
Infrared spectra have been obtained using the HR125 FTIR for wavelength ranges between 550 and 3800 cm-1 at the highest resolution allowed by the Doppler width. This wavelength range covers all of…
