Even the most cursory survey of the chemical literature reveals
that modern NMR spectroscopy has indeed fulfilled its potential as
a powerful and indispensable tool for probing molecular structure,
providing detail that is comparable to, and sometimes surpasses
that, of X-ray crystallography. As NMR spectroscopy's 70th
anniversary approaches, the diversity of chemical problems to which
this technique can be applied continues to grow across many
scientific fields. Beyond the laboratory setting, the technology
underlying NMR is now a widely used and critical medical diagnostic
technique, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Unfortunately, the
number of applications of NMR spectroscopy across so many
STEM-related fields presents significant challenges in how best to
introduce this powerful technique in meaningful ways at the
undergraduate level. Inspired by the development of the field, and
building upon the work of previous symposia and an ACS symposium
series book on this topic (3), a symposium was developed, entitled
"NMR Spectroscopy in the Undergraduate Curriculum," for the 239th
American Chemical Society National Meeting in San Francisco. This
book brings together all of the presenters who have been successful
in developing and successfully integrating NMR spectroscopy
pedagogy across their undergraduate curriculums. Their knowledge
and experiences will aid readers who are interested in expanding
and invigorating their own curriculum.
This book brings together the latest perspectives and ideas on
teaching modern physical chemistry. It includes perspectives from
experienced and well-known physical chemists, a thorough review of
the education literature pertaining to physical chemistry, a
thorough review of advances in undergraduate laboratory experiments
from the past decade, in-depth descriptions of using computers to
aid student learning, and innovative ideas for teaching the
fundamentals of physical chemistry. This book will provide valuable
insight and information to all teachers of physical chemistry.
This third volume of NMR Spectroscopy in the Undergraduate
Curriculum continues the work we started with the first and second
volumes in providing effective approaches for using nuclear
magnetic resonance spectrometers as powerful tools for
investigating a wide variety of phenomena at the undergraduate
level. This volume focuses on upper-level courses and NMR
spectroscopy across the curriculum. The applications and strategies
in this volume will be helpful to those who are looking to
transform their curriculum by integrating more NMR spectroscopy, to
those who might not have considered NMR spectroscopy as a tool for
solving certain types of problems, or for those seeking funding for
a new or replacement NMR spectrometer.
In the past, the stability of milk and milk products was the
primary consideration, but this is no longer the principal
objective due to the evolution of modern sanitary practices as well
as pasteurization. Today, the manufacture of dairy products of
consistently good flavor and texture is crucial. In previous flavor
studies, researchers identified hundreds of volatile compounds,
with little or no attention paid to their sensory contribution to
overall flavor of dairy products. The availability of powerful
chromatographic separation techniques like high resolution gas
chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry and olfactory
detection ports have revolutionized the work on characterization of
dairy flavor. This along with recent developments in sensory
methods and our increased knowledge about the genomics of diary
culture organisms have allowed great advancements in our
understanding of dairy flavor chemistry. Flavor of Dairy Products
covers the evolution of dairy flavor research and presents updated
information in the areas of instrumental analysis, biochemistry,
processing and shelf-life issues related to the flavor of dairy
products.
Developing innovative efficient and sensitive spectroscopic and
optical techniques for studying biomedically relevant molecules,
structures and processes in vitro and in vivo is a field of rapidly
growing interest. This symposium book covers novel and exciting
approaches in biomedical spectroscopy. Several chapters deal with
infrared and Raman spectroscopy. These complimentary vibrational
spectroscopic techniques are capable of monitoring molecular
structures as well as structural changes. Such studies are of
interest for understanding diseases at a molecular level as well as
for developing techniques for efficient early diagnosis based on
molecular structural information. The chapters demonstrate also
applications vibrational spectroscopy in proteomics and the
characterization of micro organisms. The second section of the book
introduces surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), demonstrates
the application of the effect in the biomedical field and develops
the concept of multifunctional nanosensors. The measurement of
intrinsic optical signals from biological objects such as nerve
tissue are discussed in the next section of the book. Chapters deal
also with Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and
fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy. Other chapters illustrate
how photons of very different energies, in the Terahertz and in the
ultra violet range, can be used to retrieve molecular structural
information from native biomolecules. The electrical properties of
protein molecules adsorbed onto a gold substrate are studied by
using a scanning Kelvin nanoprobe in a microarray format. The final
chapters in the book demonstrate the powerful combination of
different spectroscopic techniques for the characterization of
biomolecules as well as native and engineered biomaterials. These
chapters combine information from Raman and Inelastic Neutron
Scattering, optical absorbance and energy dispersive X-ray
analysis, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), 1H
NMR, and 129Xe NMR X-ray diffraction and fluorescence resonance
energy transfer.

This book explicates the optical controls of antiferromagnetic
spins by intense terahertz (THz) electromagnetic waves. The book
comprises two key components: (1) the experimental demonstration of
the enhancement of a THz magnetic field using a split-ring
resonator (SRR) and (2) the control of the direction of
magnetization by using the enhanced THz magnetic field to break the
symmetry of optically-induced phase transition. These make up the
first step leading to future spintronics devices. In the beginning
of the book, the author reviews the basics of the ultrafast laser
and nonlinear optical techniques as well as the previously achieved
experiments to control spin dynamics by THz magnetic fields. In
this context, a new experimental protocol is described, in which
electron spins in a ferromagnetic material are redirected at the
unprecedented level in cooperation with the enhanced THz magnetic
field. Subsequently, the author demonstrates that the THz magnetic
field is significantly amplified as a nearfield around the SRR
structured metamaterial, which is implemented by measuring spin
precession in a solid. At the end, the author presents the key
experiment in which the amplified THz magnetic nearfield is applied
to the weak ferromagnet ErFeO3 along with the femtosecond
near-infrared pulse, demonstrating the successful control of
symmetry breaking of the spin system due to coherent control of the
optically-induced spin reorientation phase transition pathways. The
comprehensive introductory review in this book allows readers to
overview state-of-the-art terahertz spectroscopic techniques. In
addition, the skillful description of the experiments is highly
informative for readers in ultrafast magnonics, ultrafast optics,
terahertz technology and plasmonic science.
Spectroscopy in this book has been made easier and attractive by
adopting a non-mathematical pictorial path. The essential feature
of this approach involves use of visual images at the molecular
level. Further, to keep the reader involved, every chapter has a
large number of solved problems. This approach brings molecular
spectroscopy within the comprehension of the average reader.
Application of molecular spectroscopy in determining molecular
structure and the study of intermolecular interactions have also
been discussed. A chapter on the applications of molecular
spectroscopy has been prepared from the latest research work where
molecular spectroscopy has been used as a tool to the research
problems. This will give an idea as to how wide and divergent
spectroscopy has its applications. Again, the approach intends to
develop reasoning ability to the maximum.
This book offers a complete diagnosis of concrete samples collected
from a pile cap block of residential buildings affected by internal
