Dataset associated with 'Synchrotron FTIR Mapping of Mineralization in a Microfluidic Device'
Get PDFFourier transform infrared micro-spectroscopy provides an effective means of performing rapid, non-destructive, and label-free analysis of specimens according to their vibrational modes. However, as water absorbs very strongly in the infrared region, analysis of aqueous solutions in transmission mode can suffer from problems with signal saturation. We here describe the fabrication of a novel microfluidic device that overcomes this problem. Devices with channel depths of just 3 µm were constructed from calcium fluoride using photolithography and hot embossing bonding, where calcium fluoride was selected due to its transparency in the IR region. The utility of this device was then demonstrated by employing it to follow the precipitation pathways of calcium sulfate and calcium carbonate using synchrotron FTIR micro-spectroscopy. Importantly, due to the high brightness provided by synchrotron radiation, and the fact that the reacting ions (HCO3- , CO32- and SO42-) and the different mineral polymorphs all have finger print spectra in the measured IR range, this method can be used to acquire time-resolved, hyperspectral maps of the mineral particles formed within the sample cell, and then study the interaction and evolution of particles. The data provide new insight into the formation pathway of a population of crystals in confined volumes, and demonstrate that this in situ, real-time detection system provides a powerful tool for studying crystallization processes. And the useful dataset were deposited here
Dataset associated with 'Infinite-period density-matrix model for terahertz-frequency quantum cascade lasers'
Get PDFIn this work we present a density matrix model which considers an infinite quantum cascade laser (QCL) and models transport via a nearest neighbor approximation. We will discuss derivation of output parameters of the model in detail and show the direct mathematical link to semi-classical rate equation approach. This model can be extended to an arbitrary number of states in the QCL period, without a priori specification of upper and lower lasing level. Application of the model to various QCL structures is possible, including bound-to-continuum structures which typically employ a large number of states per period. The model has been applied to a 2 THz bound-to-continuum QCL and a very good agreement with measured V-I characteristics is obtained along with qualitative agreement with measured L-I characteristics in terms of dynamic range.
