醇及水烟梗太赫兹吸收图谱研究

用太赫兹时域光谱系统测定了醇烟梗和水烟梗在0.3～1.5THz频段的太赫兹吸收谱,结果表明:在该波段区域,两者的太赫兹吸收具有较大的差异.醇烟梗样品的太赫兹吸收曲线可以拟合成一条斜率为负的直线,而水烟梗的则拟合为多项式方程.同时用扫描电镜对两样品进行了微区成分分析,结果显示:两样品在外形上的差异较小,元素含量有一定的差异.因此,用不同方式处理后的烟梗,其化学组成不同,这是引起它们在0.3～1.5THz波段区域产生不同吸收的根本原因.     

Semi-Empirical Model to Retrieve Finite Temperature Terahertz Absorption Spectra using Morse Potential

Terahertz (THz) absorption is a fingerprint property of materials, due to the underlying low-frequency vibration/phonon modes being strongly dependent on the chemical constitutions and microscopic structures. The low excitation energies (0.414-41.4 meV) are related to two intrinsic properties of THz vibrations: the potential energy surfaces (PESs) are shallow, and the vibrationally excited states are usually populated via thermal fluctuations. The shallow PESs make the vibrations usually anharmonic, leading to redshifted vibrational excited state absorption; combined with considerable vibrational excited states population, characteristic THz signals are usually redshifted and congested with varying degrees at different temperatures. Combining existing experimental THz spectra at low temperatures, first principles vibration analysis, and the Morse potential, we developed a semi-empirical model to evaluate the anharmonicity of the low-frequency modes. The model was benchmarked with purine molecular crystal to generate THz spectra at different temperatures, the results were consistent with experiments. The good agreement suggests this model would facilitate the application of THz spectroscopy in molecular crystal characterization.     

Charge transfer interaction and terahertz studies of a nonlinear optical material L-glutamine picrate: A DFT study

Charge transfer interaction, vibrational spectra, and DFT computation of l-glutamine picrate has been analyzed. The equilibrium geometry, bonding features, and harmonic vibrational wavenumbers have been investigated with the help of B3LYP density functional theory method. The natural bond orbital analysis confirms the occurrence of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the molecule. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy was used to detect the absorption spectra in the frequency range from 0.025 to 2.8 THz. The vibrational modes found in molecular crystalline materials should be described as phonon modes with strong coupling to the intramolecular vibrations.     

Characterisation of historic plastics using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and pulsed imaging

Terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy and 3D THz pulsed imaging have been explored with regard to polymer materials, both commodity and historic polymers. A systematic spectroscopic study of a wide range of different polymer materials showed significant differences in their spectra. Polyolefins and polystyrenes generally exhibit lower absorption than other examined polymers, various cellulose derivates, poly(vinyl chloride), poly(methyl methacrylate), polyamide, hard rubber and phenol formaldehyde resin, the last of these exhibiting the most intense absorption over the entire range, 0.15–4.2 THz. It was also examined how the presence of plasticisers in poly(vinyl chloride), the presence of fillers in polypropylene, and the degree of branching in polyethylene and polystyrene affect the spectra; inorganic fillers in polypropylene affected the absorption most. With 3D THz pulsed imaging, features in polymer objects were explored, appearing either as integral parts of the material (coatings and pores in foams) or as a consequence of physical deterioration (cracks, delamination). All of these features of various complexities can be successfully imaged in 3D. Terahertz technology is thus shown to have significant potential for both chemical and structural characterisation of polymers, which will be of interest to heritage science, but also to the polymer industry and development of analytical technologies in general.

Solid-state density functional theory investigation of the terahertz spectra of the structural isomers 1,2-dicyanobenzene and 1,3-dicyanobenzene

The high-resolution waveguide terahertz (THz) time-domain spectra (20-100 cm(-1)) of the two structural isomers 1,2-dicyanobenzene (1,2-DCB) and 1,3-dicyanobenzene (1,3-DCB) have been modeled and assigned using solid-state density functional theory. The THz spectra of these similar molecules are distinctly different in the low-frequency region with the differences being driven by modifications of the crystal packing arrangement between the isomers. Simulations utilizing the hybrid density functionals B3LYP and PBE0 were performed to determine the origins of the observed vibrational features. External lattice vibrations (hindered translations and rotations) are found to dominate these spectra, reinforcing the need for proper solid-state models in the analysis of the THz spectra of organic molecular solids. These calculations were able to account for all of the observed spectral features exhibited by both isomers, even in the case of 1,2-DCB, where the spectrum was found to be the result of two coexisting crystalline polymorphs.

Terahertz absorption spectra of some saccharides and their metal complexes

In this work, THz absorption spectra of some saccharides and their metal complexes were measured. The main purpose of this work is to investigate the M-O vibrations, intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds and other vibrations in the FIR region using powerful spectroscopic techniques adopting the metal-sugar complexes prepared in our laboratory. The M-O vibrations in the FIR spectra of metal-sugar complexes indicate the formation of metal complexes. The THz spectrum of glucose below 100cm(-1) was measured at first to confirm the THz experimental method. Characteristic absorption bands in the spectra of various samples are observed. THz spectra of saccharides below 100cm(-1) often have several absorption bands, and different saccharides have various absorption peaks in the THz region, which may be used to distinguish different saccharides. The differences in the number of bands observed are related to different structures of the samples, and these absorption bands are related to the collective motion of molecules. But the THz spectra of their metal complexes are different from the ligands, and no band appears in the region below 50cm(-1) at the present experimental condition, which indicates that THz spectroscopy may also be helpful to identify the formation of metal-sugar complexes, and the changes after complexation in the THz spectra below 100cm(-1) may be related to different metal ions. The metal-sugar complexes with similar crystal structures resemble mid-IR spectra, but their THz spectra may have some differences.     

腺嘌呤与富马酸共晶体的太赫兹光谱分析

利用太赫兹时域光谱(THz-TDS)技术在室温下对腺嘌呤、富马酸及两者的共晶体进行测量, 实验结果显示腺嘌呤与富马酸共晶体在0.92、1.24、1.52 THz处有明显的吸收峰, 与腺嘌呤和富马酸不同, 表明共晶体物相结构不同于原料. 根据腺嘌呤分子氢键供体与受体的结构特点, 使用密度泛函理论(DFT)对腺嘌呤与富马酸三种可能的共晶体结构进行模拟. 结果显示其中一种可能的共晶体结构在0.89、1.16、1.41 THz处存在特征吸收峰, 与实验结果较好吻合. 由此判断腺嘌呤与富马酸共晶体氢键形成位置为腺嘌呤的氨基与富马酸其中一个羧酸的碳氧双键形成氢键, 而此羧酸的羟基与腺嘌呤六元环上的邻位氮原子形成第二处氢键. 本文还结合理论模拟的结果对腺嘌呤与富马酸共晶体的特征吸收峰对应的相关振动模式进行了归属.
