Abstract The Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) is a remote-sensing Fourier
Transform Spectrometer (FTS) on the Cassini orbiter that measures thermal radiation over …

Models going beyond the rigid‐rotor and the harmonic oscillator levels are mandatory for
providing accurate theoretical predictions for several spectroscopic properties. Different …

A new hybrid material C10H2@ SWNTs, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs)
encapsulating C10H2 polyyne molecules, has been synthesized and confirmed by Raman …

In this paper, we show that the standard second-order vibrational perturbation theory (VPT2)
for Abelian groups can be used also for non-Abelian groups without employing specific …

Resonance Raman spectra of hydrogen-capped linear carbon molecules, polyynes H (–CC–
) nH (n= 5, 6), were measured in n-hexane. For C10H2, the peaks at 2123cm− 1 and …

The full cubic and semidiagonal quartic force fields of acetylene (C2H2), diacetylene
(C4H2), triacetylene (C6H2), and tetraacetylene (C8H2) are determined using CCSD …

We present the detection of C 4 H 2 for first time in the envelope of the C-rich AGB star IRC+
10216, based on high spectral resolution mid-infrared observations carried out with the …

The presence of the linear molecules called polyynes,(C2nH2, n> 2), in Titan's atmosphere
is suggested by the signatures of acetylene C2H2 and of diacetylene C4H2 in Voyager …

We perform a systematic investigation of the resonance and vibrational properties of
naphthyl-terminated sp carbon chains (dinaphthylpolyynes) by combined multi-wavelength …

Irradiation of carbon based solid targets with energetic particles is usually thought to
introduce undesirable phenomena such as disorder or graphitization. In some recent …
