Journal ArticleDOI
Coprecipitation of Uranium(VI) with Calcite: XAFS, micro-XAS, and luminescence characterization
Richard J. Reeder,Melissa Nugent,C. Drew Tait,David E. Morris,Steve M. Heald,Kenneth M. Beck,Wayne P. Hess,A. Lanzirotti +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, X-ray absorption and luminescence spectroscopies have been used to characterize the local structure and coordination of uranium(VI) species coprecipitated with calcite (CaCO3) from room-temperature aqueous solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoemission Electron Microscopy of TiO2 Anatase Films Embedded with Rutile Nanocrystals
Gang Xiong,Rui Shao,Timothy C. Droubay,Alan G. Joly,Kenneth M. Beck,Scott A. Chambers,Wayne P. Hess +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the work function contrast between the two phases near the Fermi level was found to be 0.2 eV lower and a greater occupied valence band density of states in rutile (100) than in anatase (001).
Journal ArticleDOI
EXAFS study of rare-earth element coordination in calcite
Evert J. Elzinga,Richard J. Reeder,S. H. Withers,Robert E. Peale,R. A. Mason,Kenneth M. Beck,Wayne P. Hess +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy to characterize the local coordination of selected rare-earth elements coprecipitated with calcite in minor concentrations from room-temperature aqueous solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser control of desorption through selective surface excitation.
Wayne P. Hess,Alan G. Joly,Kenneth M. Beck,Matthias Henyk,Peter V. Sushko,Paolo E. Trevisanutto,Alexander L. Shluger +6 more
TL;DR: These results demonstrate that laser desorption can serve as a solid-state source of halogen and oxygen atoms, in well-defined electronic and velocity states, for studying chemical processes in the gas phase and at surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
The vibrational relaxation of highly excited SF6 by Ar
Kenneth M. Beck,Robert J. Gordon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the time constant τ for the vibrational relaxation of SF6 by Ar as a function of the average initial excitation 〈E〉〉0.
