The spectrum of Ih ice using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.

Here, we report the frequency-dependent spectrum of ice Ih in the range of 0.2-2 THz. We confirm the presence of a feature that blue-shifts from around 1.

Hydration water drives the self-assembly of guanosine monophosphate.

Guanosine monophosphate (GMP) is a nucleotide that can self-assemble in aqueous solution under certain conditions. An understanding of the process at the molecular level is an essential step to comprehend the involvement of DNA substructures in transcription and replication, as well as their relationship to genetic diseases such as cancer. We present the temperature-dependent terahertz (1.

Non-Contact, Non-Destructive Testing in Various Industrial Sectors with Terahertz Technology.

In this article, we survey various non-contact, non-destructive testing methods by way of terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and imaging designed for use in various industrial sectors. A brief overview of the working principles of THz spectroscopy and imaging is provided, followed by a survey of selected applications from three industries-the building and construction industry, the energy and power industry, and the manufacturing industry. Material characterization, thickness measurement, and defect/corrosion assessment are demonstrated through the examples presented.
