It is shown what benefits the traditional metrological principles have in fields as medicine or in the evaluation of cyber physical systems.
"Should be on every surface chemist's reading list." —Spectroscopy (on the Fifth Edition) Bridging the methodologies of "wet" and "dry" surface chemistry to present surface chemistry as a single broad field, Physical Chemistry of Surfaces, Sixth Edition retains its position as the standard work of surface science. This heavily revised and updated edition provides thorough coverage for students and professionals. New features of the Sixth Edition include:
The book begins with the basics of the physical chemistry of liquid-gas and liquid-solid interfaces, including electro-chemistry, long-range forces, and the various methods of spectroscopic and structural study of surfaces. These are followed by descriptive treatments of topics such as friction, lubrication, adhesion and emulsion, foams, and aerosols. Closing chapters present a quantitative approach to physical and chemical adsorption of vapors and gases as well as heterogeneous catalysis. For senior-level undergraduates and graduate students, each chapter presents the basic surface chemistry of the topics with full derivations, end-of-chapter problems, and reviews of recent advances. This book is also an excellent reference for professional chemists interested in applying surface chemistry to their work.
Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is basically an
emission spectroscopy technique where atoms and ions are primarily
formed in their excited states as a result of interaction between a
tightly focused laser beam and the material sample. The interaction
between matter and high-density photons generates a plasma plume,
which evolves with time and may eventually acquire thermodynamic
equilibrium. One of the important features of this technique is
that it does not require any sample preparation, unlike
conventional spectroscopic analytical techniques. Samples in the
form of solids, liquids, gels, gases, plasmas and biological
materials (like teeth, leaf or blood) can be studied with almost
equal ease. LIBS has rapidly developed into a major analytical
technology with the capability of detecting all chemical elements
in a sample, of real- time response, and of close-contact or
stand-off analysis of targets. The present book has been written by
active specialists in this field, it includes the basic principles,
the latest developments in instrumentation and the applications of
LIBS . It will be useful to analytical chemists and spectroscopists
as an important source of information and also to graduate students
and researchers engaged in the fields of combustion, environmental
science, and planetary and space exploration.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an analytical tool used by
chemists and physicists to study the structure and dynamics of
molecules. In recent years, no other technique has grown to such
importance as NMR spectroscopy. It is used in all branches of
science where precise structural determination is required and
where the nature of interactions and reactions in solution is being
studied. Annual Reports on NMR has established itself as a premier
means for the specialist and nonspecialist alike to become familiar
with new techniques and applications of NMR spectroscopy.

science. Presenting both essential background knowledge at graduate
level and original research within the fields of spectroscopy,
electrochemistry, and surface science.
Applications of Time-of-Flight and Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry in Environmental, Food, Doping, and Forensic Analysis deals with the use of high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) in the analysis of small organic molecules. Over the past few years, time-of-flight (ToF) and Orbitrap MS have both experienced tremendous growth in a great number of analytical sectors and are now well established in many laboratories where high requirements are placed on analytical performance. This book gives a head-to-head comparison of these two technologies that compete directly with each other. As users with hands-on experience in both techniques, the authors provide a balanced description of the strengths and weaknesses of both techniques. In the vast majority of cases, ToF-MS and Orbitrap-MS have been used for qualitative purposes, mainly identification of discrete molecular entities such as drug metabolites or transformation products of environmental contaminants. This paradigm is now changing as quantitative capabilities are increasingly being explored, as are non-target approaches for unbiased broad-scope screening. In view of the continuous innovation of high-resolution MS instrument manufacturers in designing and developing more powerful machines, technological advances in both hardware and software are considerable, with many novel applications. This book summarizes and analyzes these trends. The compilation of selected examples from diverse analytical fields will allow the readers to discover not only the potential of high-resolution MS in their sector, but also shows advances in other fields that rely on hi-res MS.

The Hydrogen Bond and the Water Molecule offers a synthesis of what
is known and currently being researched on the topic of hydrogen
bonds and water molecules. The most simple water molecular, H2O, is
a fascinating but poorly understood molecule. Its unique ability to
attract an exceptionally large number of hydrogen bonds induces the
formation of a dense "hydrogen bond network" that has the potential
to modify the properties of the surrounding molecules and their
reactivities. The crucial role that water molecules play is
described in this book. The author begins by providing an overview
of the thermodynamical and structural properties of H-bonds before
examining their much less known dynamical properties, which makes
them appear as centres of reactivity. Methods used to observe these
components are also reviewed. In the second part of the book the
role played by the dense H-bond network developed by H2O molecules
is examined. First in ice, where it has important atmospheric
consequences, then in liquid water, and finally in macromolecules
where it sheds some original light on the fundamental question "How
is it that without water and hydrogen bonds life would not exist?."

This book addresses the development of electronic devices using redox-active organic molecules and their porous coordination networks (PCNs), and highlights the importance of the molecular arrangement. Redox-active organic molecules hold considerable promise as flexible electronic elements, because their electronic state can easily be controlled using external energy. Although various kinds of redox-active organic molecules have been synthesized, attempts to apply them to electronic devices have been limited, owing to the lack of proper structural design. Moreover, ligand-based redox-active PCNs remain largely unexplored because of the limited availability of redox-active ligands. In addition to developing new redox-active organic molecules, in order to design electronic devices based on these molecules/PCNs, it is essential to understand the connections between their molecular arrangement, electrical properties, and redox activity. In this thesis, the redox-active organic molecule 2,5,8-tri(4-pyridyl)1,3-diazaphenalene (TPDAP), which features a large pi plane and multi-intermolecular interactivity, is used to develop a resistive switching memory device. In addition, its PCNs are synthesized to fabricate chemiresistive sensors, and the electrical properties are modulated using post-synthetic modification. Each mechanism is systematically investigated by means of structural determination and well-defined control experiments. Subsequently, the book proposes general guidelines for designing electronic devices using redox-active organic molecules. The book will appeal to a broad range of readers, from basic scientists to materials engineers, as well as general, non-expert readers.

Over the last 10 years, the field of plasmonic research has emerged as an extremely promising technology with several main fields of application: information technologies, energy, high-density data storage, photovoltaics, chemistry, biology, medicine and security. The main focus up to a few years ago was on the ability of plasmonic nanostructures to generate localized regions of highly concentrated electromagnetic fields, however more recently it has also been realized that the electron part of plasmonic excitations can also be exploited in the physical and chemical sciences. Fascinating proof-of-concept applications have over the last three years been demonstrated in areas such as surface-enhanced catalysis (water splitting), photodetectors without bandgaps (Schottky junctions), and nanoscale control over chemical reactions. These applications as well as the most recent breakthroughs and key challenges in this multidisciplinary and dynamic field are the focus of this Faraday Discussion, offering the perspectives of physicists, chemists and ab-initio theoreticians. In this volume the topics covered include: -Dynamics of hot electron generation in metallic nanostructures -Theory of hot electrons -New materials for hot electron generation -Applications in catalysis, photochemistry, and photodetection |
