Molecular Structure and Surface Organization: A Study of Liquid/Vapor Interfaces Using Newly Developed Sum Frequency Methods
(2004-08-19)
Vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS) is a surface specific nonlinear technique that provides vibrational spectra of molecules at interfaces. Studies presented in this thesis use VSFS to examine surface structure ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Binary Clusters to Controllable Binary Nanoparticles "The New Role of Zintl Anions"
(2004-10-27)
Zintl anions are best described as polyatomic main group clusters (i.e. E73-; E = P, As, Sb) with structures characteristic of isoelectronic clusters (i.e. hydrocarbon and borohydride clusters). Combining these main ...
Airborne Characterization of Regional Aerosol Origins and Optical Properties
(2004-08-31)
The ubiquity of air pollution in the Mid-Atlantic and northeastern U.S. is a major concern for human and ecological health as well as the climate. Between February 2001 and February 2004, 160 flights on a light aircraft ...
Arsenic(III) Speciation in Sulfidic- and Carbonate-Containing Waters; Thioarsenites as Ligands for Ag(I), Pb(II) and Hg(II)
(2004-11-22)
This dissertation has two objectives; the first is to investigate speciation of three d10 metals (Ag(I), Hg(II) and Pb(II)) in sulfidic solutions containing As(III) to determine if thioarsenite could act as a ligand for ...
