Sulfur is one of six life-essential elements, but its path from interstellar clouds to planets and
their atmospheres is not well known. Astronomical observations in dense clouds have so far …

We report on the extension of the spectral sensitivity of superconducting nanowire single-
photon detectors to a wavelength of 29 µm. To our knowledge, this represents the first …

ABSTRACT Fullerenes, including C60, C70, and C60+, are widespread in space through
their characteristic infrared vibrational features (C60+ also reveals its presence in the …

Efforts over 40 yr still leave the source of astronomical infrared emission bands largely
unidentified. Here, we report the first laboratory infrared (6–25 μm) spectra of gas-phase …

Infrared ion spectroscopy is increasingly recognized as a method to identify mass
spectrometry-detected analytes in many (bio) chemical areas and its integration in analytical …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and fullerenes play a major role in the physics and
chemistry of the interstellar medium (ISM). Based on a number of recent experimental and …

Infrared (IR) thermal imaging is receiving a great deal of attention due to its wide range of
applications. Given multiple issues (like cost and availability) with the inorganic materials …

Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy is a powerful tool used to probe
the vibrational modes–and, by extension, the structure—of an ion within an ion trap mass …

Since the first laboratory synthesis of C 60 in 1985, fullerene-related species have been
proposed to interpret various astronomical features. After more than 25 years' efforts, several …

We report experimental values for the CH stretch frequencies of the protonated fullerenes C
60 H+ and C 70 H+. Anharmonic frequency calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G level of theory …
