Photoacoustic spectroscopic studies of Ho3+, Er3+, and Sm3+ doped polyvinyl alcohol films

Photoacoustic (PA) spectra of Ho³⁺, Er³⁺, and Sm³⁺ doped PVA films were obtained in 350–800 nm range. PA spectra were also obtained for the respective dopant oxides: Ho₂O₃, Er₂O₃, and Sm₂O₃ for comparison. It was found that in PVA the PA sensitivity has increased considerably compared to pure rare earth oxides. The relative intensities of absorption bands at 540 and 637 nm of Ho₃₊: PVA have shown distinct enhancement, indicating the increase in nonradiative relaxation at these excitations. Furthermore, the PA signals at wavelengths for different PA absorption bands were monitored as a function of chopping frequency. These experiments have shown that PA signal varies w⁻¹ both for oxides and PVA samples, suggesting that they behave as thermally thin samples. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Fluorescein and Phenolphthalein—Correlation of Fluorescence and Photoelectric Properties

Two phthalein dyes in aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solutions of pH 8.5 have been investigated: fluorescein and phenolphthalein. Competitive pathways of deactivation of their energetically excited states have been followed by the use of spectroscopic and photoelectric techniques. Radiative, nonradiative, and charge separation processes followed by electron transfer have been measured by absorption, fluorescence, and photoacoustic spectroscopy accompanied by photovoltage/photocurrent generation in a photoelectrochemical cell. It is shown that, despite their being only a slight difference in molecular structure between the two dyes, their spectral as well as photoelectric behavior is significantly different.     

Determination of Nitrogen in Rapeseed by Fourier Transform Infrared Photoacoustic Spectroscopy and Independent Component Analysis

Fourier-transform mid-infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy was utilized for rapid and nondestructive determination of nitrogen in rapeseeds. Rapeseed spectra were characterized by independent component analysis for quantitative calibration. A calibration model was built by using independent components as the input for partial least squares. Compared to full-spectrum partial least squares, the combined model achieved higher prediction accuracy with a residual predictive deviation of 2.06. Moreover, a genetic algorithm coupled with partial least squares was adopted to optimize the independent components for partial least square modeling and provide a further refined model with the highest residual predictive deviation of 2.12. A t-test verified a high congruence between results obtained by calibration models and the reference Kjeldahl method. This study demonstrated the promise of Fourier-transform mid-infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy for the determination of nitrogen in rapeseeds and the applicability of independent components for multivariate calibration.

New spectral assignment of n‐propanol in the C―H stretching region

The C―H stretching vibration serves as an important probe for characterizing molecular structures and properties of hydrocarbons. In this work, we present a detailed study on gas‐phase Raman spectrum of n‐propanol in the C―H stretching region using stimulated photoacoustic Raman spectroscopy. A complete assignment was carried out with the aid of quantum chemistry calculations and depolarization ratio measurement as well as isotope substitutions, i.e. CH₃CD₂CD₂OH, CD₃CH₂CD₂OH and CD₃CD₂CH₂OH. It is shown that the spectra of three C―H groups of n‐propanol overlap each other because of Fermi resonance coupling and different molecular conformations, leading to complex features that were not determined previously. In addition, the comparisons between the spectra of three isotopologues reveal that the C―H vibrations at different sites of carbon chain exhibit different sensitivity to conformational change of n‐propanol. The CH₃ stretching vibration at terminated γ‐carbon is not sensitive whereas the CH₂ stretching vibrations at both α‐carbon and β‐carbon atoms are sensitive. Furthermore, Raman spectra of liquid propanol recorded by conventional spontaneous Raman technique are reassigned on the basis of gas‐phase analysis. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
