Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a vibrational spectroscopy technique that
enables specific identification of target analytes with sensitivity down to the single-molecule …

The ultrafast molecular dynamics of complex fluids have been recorded using the optically-
heterodyne-detected optical-Kerr-effect (OHD-OKE). The OHD-OKE method is reviewed and …

An experimental study was undertaken to measure the optical Kerr effect (OKE) in liquids
induced by picosecond laser pulses. The effects of different parameters on the dynamics of …

Here we report on the structural and dynamical properties of a series of room temperature
ionic liquids, namely 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis {(trifluoromethane) sulfonyl} amide ([C …

Low-frequency collective vibrational modes in proteins have been proposed as being
responsible for efficiently directing biochemical reactions and biological energy transport …

In traditional Raman spectroscopy, narrow-band light is irradiated on a sample, and its
inelastic scattering, ie, Raman scattering, is detected. The energy difference between the …

Spectroscopic analysis using the Terahertz frequencies between 0.1-15 THz (3–500 cm− 1)
has been underutilised by the biochemistry community but is starting to yield some …

A review of recent terahertz (THz) dielectric response measurements on large biomolecules
is presented. The origin of the dielectric response in this frequency range is discussed. We …

In this article, the structure and intermolecular dynamics of 1, 3-alkylmethylimidazolium bis (
trifluoromethanesulfonyl) amides [C n mim][NTf2] with n= 2− 5 are compared to those of 1, 3 …

We have prepared novel room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) with trimethylsilylmethyl
(TMSiM)-substituted imidazolium cations and compared the properties of these liquids with …
