Published: November 2024

In this report, ghostly ultra-trace amounts of alanine in alanine-doped triglycine sulfate crystal were directly observed by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and the presence of two chemical states in the cation form and neutral form in the doped alanine was revealed. As the result, the crystal structure of alanine-doped triglycine sulfate was determined for the first time.

A detailed description of a flexible and portable atomic layer deposition (ALD) system is presented for conducting in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectroscopy studies during the evolution and growth of ALD films. The system is directly integrated with a commercial FTIR spectrometer (Bruker Vertex 80V) to avoid the necessity of an external optical path to the instrument, thereby mitigating complexity and optical losses. In this work, we use potassium bromide (KBr) with a 5 nm layer of sputtered Si as a substrate due to higher infrared transmittance when compared to a single-side polished Si wafer.

Molecular dynamics of glycine ions in alanine doped TGS single crystal as probed by polarized laser Raman spectroscopy.

Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc

Department of Pure & Applied Physics, Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur 495009, India.

Polarized Raman spectra of pure and alanine doped tri-glycine sulfate (TGS) single crystals at 12 K in different scattering geometries are analyzed. Sub species modes due to three crystallographically distinguishable glycine ions G (I), G (II) and G (III) are assigned. It is observed that alanine doping does not change the crystalline field and acts as local perturbation only.
