A simple method of multiple deposition is proposed to fabricate a low-stepped mirror with step height of 625 nm, for its high precision, high efficiency and miniaturization. So the film stress will be introduced in the process of coating, which can lead to step deformation. We build a bending model of the low-stepped mirror and analyze the influence of its deformation. The light intensity and spectrum are changed by the step deformation. Therefore, the film stress should be reduced in order to ensure the accuracy of the spectral information. Increasing the thickness of substrate is proposed in this paper to reduce the step deformation, besides adjusting the coating temperature and adding sub-layer. Our results reveal that the basic requirements of the system are satisfied when the thickness of the substrate is 5 mm in the appropriate coating environment. An FTIRS based on stepped mirrors and grid beam splitter is assembled and corresponding experiment is carried out to obtain the spectrum curve of acetonitrile.展开更多

The TRFTIR spectra recordedat 0.10 V illustrate that an IR band appears near 2050 cm?at t > 5 s, corresponding to linearly bonded CO formed indissociative adsorption of EG. The TRFTIR results haveconfirmed also that CO species are distributed uniformly onPt(100) surface. Another band appears near 2342 cm?1 at > 70 s, associating with IR absorption of CO2 produced inthe direct oxidation of EG. With the increase of electrodepotential, the direct oxidation of EG becomes gradually themain reaction. When the potential is above 0.40 V, the oxidation of EG occurs mainly via the reactive intermediates, i.especies containing –COOH determined by in situ TRFTIRS.展开更多

The adsorption of CO on such a Pt microelectrode (μ-Pt) was investigated by employing microscope in situ FTIR spectroscopy. A nanostructured film is formed at the surface of μ-Pt (denoted as μ-Pt(R)) when it has been subjected to a treatment of fast potential cycling. Abnormal infrared effects (AIREs) were observed in CO adsorption on the surface of μ-Pt(R), consisting of the inversion of the IR bipolar CO band and the extensively enhanced IR adsorption of COad species.展开更多
