Frequency-agile, rapid scanning spectroscopy

April 28, 2013
Author(s)
Gar W. Truong, Kevin O. Douglass, Stephen E. Maxwell, Roger D. van Zee, David F. Plusquellic, Joseph T. Hodges, David A. Long
Challenging applications in trace gas analyses require high precision and acquisition rates.1-4 Many continuous-wave laser spectroscopy techniques exhibit significant sensitivity and potential;5 however, their scanning rates are slow because they rely upon

Frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy

David A. Long, A. Cygan, Roger D. van Zee, Mitchio Okumura, C. E. Miller, D Lisak, Joseph T. Hodges
This Frontiers article describes frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS), an ultraprecise refinement of conventional cw-CRDS. We review the technique and highlight some recent studies which have utilized FS-CRDS to perform precision

Christopher D. Zangmeister, Roger D. van Zee, Steven W. Robey, N E. Gruhn, Yuxing Yao, J M. Tour
Photoemission spectra of para-phenylene-ethynylene thiols chemisorbed on gold have been measured. Four compounds were studied: 4,4'-bis(phenylethynyl)-benzenethiol, 4 (phenylethynyl)benzenethiol, 4-ethynylbenzenethiol, and benzenethiol. The spectra were

Tracing Electronic Pathways in Molecules Using Inelastic Tunneling Spectroscopy

September 4, 2007
Author(s)
Alessandro Troisi, J M. Beebe, Laura B. Picraux, Roger D. van Zee, D R. Stewart, M Ratner, James G. Kushmerick
Using inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) to measure the vibronic structure of non-equilibrium molecular transport, aided by a quantitative interpretation scheme based on non-equilibrium Greens function/density functional theory methods, we

Building Electronic Function Into Nanoscale Molecular Architectures

August 30, 2007
Author(s)
H D. Abruna, M Ratner, Roger D. van Zee
The use of molecules in electronic circuit has been the subject of recent study. Experimentally, two-terminal, molecular rectifiers have been demonstrated, three-terminal, single-molecule transistors demonstrated, and electromechanical molecular switches

Energy-Level Alignment and Work Function Shifts for Thiol-Bound Monolayers of Conjugated Molecules Self-Assembled on Ag, Cu, Au, and Pt

July 1, 2007
Author(s)
Christopher D. Zangmeister, Laura B. Picraux, Roger D. van Zee, Yuxing Yao, J M. Tour
Photoemission spectra have been used to determine the energy-level alignment and work function of monolayers of 4,4'-bis-(phenylethynyl)benzenethiol, 2 naphthalene thiol, and 3-(naphthalen-2-yl)propane-1-thiol self-assembled on Ag, Cu, Au, and Pt. For each

Fermi Level Alignment and Electronic Levels in Molecular Wire Self-Assembled Monolayers on Au
