Orientational order parameters of a de Vries–type ferroelectric liquid crystal obtained by polarized Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction [PDF]
The orientational order parameters 〈P2〉 and 〈P4〉 of the ferroelectric, de Vries–type liquid crystal 9HL have been determined in the SmA* and SmC* phases by means of polarized Raman spectroscopy, and in the SmA* phase using x-ray diffraction.

Simulating pump-probe photo-electron and absorption spectroscopy on the attosecond time-scale with time-dependent density-functional theory [PDF]
Molecular absorption and photo-electron spectra can be efficiently predicted with real-time time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT). We show here how these techniques can be easily extended to study time-resolved pump-probe experiments in which ...

Chiroptical studies on brevianamide B : vibrational and electronic circular dichroism confronted [PDF]
Chiroptical spectroscopy, such as electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) are highly sensitive techniques to probe molecular conformation, configuration, solvation and aggregation.

Picosecond pump–probe and polarization techniques in supersonic molecular beams: Measurement of ultrafast vibrational-rotational dephasing and coherence [PDF]
In the last few years, the time-resolved dynamics of collisionless intramolecular vibrational-energy redistribution (IVR) [1] has been probed [2] using picosecond excitation and fluorescence detection. By this method new information on IVR, coherence and

Quantitative assessment of LASSO probe assembly and long-read multiplexed cloning
Background Long Adapter Single-Stranded Oligonucleotide (LASSO) probes were developed as a novel tool for massively parallel cloning of kilobase-long genomic DNA sequences. LASSO dramatically improves the capture length limit of current DNA padlock probe
