This document provides an overview of infrared (IR) spectroscopy. It discusses the IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum, the basic principles of IR spectroscopy, and factors that influence molecular vibrations. Requirements for IR absorption include an electric dipole moment and the radiation wavelength matching the natural vibration frequency. Molecular vibrations observed in IR spectroscopy include stretches, bends, and rotations. Instrumentation components like IR sources, wavelength selectors, detectors, and sample handling techniques are also outlined. Finally, applications of IR spectroscopy like structure elucidation and identification of functional groups are mentioned.
a substance can absorb any visible light or external radiation and then again emit it. this called fluorescence and the process of reduction in fluorescence intensity is called quenching. this presentation is all about quenching of fluorescence.
This presentation include the detailed explanation of various parts of a UV-Visible spectrophotometer and two types of UV-Visible spectrophotometers-Single beam and Doube beam. It also include the comparison between single beam and double beam spectrophotometers.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

4. Principle of IR Spectroscopy
• When IR light is passed through a sample of organic
compound some of the frequencies are absorbed while
others are transmitted.
• Plot of Absorbance or Transmittance Vs Wave no.
gives an IR spectrum
• But conventionally Wave No. Vs % Transmittance is
plotted (because the numbers are more manageable)
4
6. Requirements of IR radiation Absorption
1. Correct wavelength of radiation
If a molecule absorbs radiation only when natural
frequency of vibration of some part of molecule is
same as frequency of incident radiation.
6
7. Requirements of IR radiation
Absorption
2. Electric Dipole:
• If a frequency of vibration of HCl molecule
exactly matches with that coming from the
source NET TRANSFER of energy takes
place change in amplitude of
molecular vibration absorption of
radiation
• In case of O2, N2,Cl2 NO NET change in
dipole moment occurs thus they cannot
absorb IR radiations & do not show IR
spectra 7
8. Two types changes occur in
molecule :
• Molecular rotations:
Rotational transitions are of little use to the
spectroscopist.
• Molecular vibrations
The positions of atoms in a molecules are not fixed;
they are subject to a number of different vibrations
8
9. TYPES OF MOELCULAR VIBRATIONS
Stretching: Change in inter-atomic distance along bond
axis
9
10. TYPES OF MOLECULAR VIBRATIONS
Bending: Change in angle between two bonds. There
are four types of bend:
• Rocking
• Scissoring
• Wagging
• Twisting
10
13. Vibrational frequency
• A molecular vibration occurs when atoms in
a molecule are in periodic motion while the molecule as
a whole has constant translational and rotational motion.
The frequency of the periodic motion is known as a
vibrational frequency
13
14. Factors affecting Vibrational frequency
• Vibrational coupling
• H-Bonding
• Electronic effect
• Field effect
• Nature of solvent
(Will discuss later)
14
16. • Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion
where the restoring force is directly proportional to the
displacement.
• Anharmonicity is the deviation of a system from being a
harmonic oscillator. An oscillator that is not oscillating in
simple harmonic motion
16
17. Vibration modes
1. Normal mode of an oscillating system is a pattern of
motion in which all parts of the system
move sinusoidally with the same frequency
1. Combination Bands are observed when more than two
or more fundamental vibrations are excited
simultaneously. These combination modes arise from
the anharmonicities of the oscillators which leads to an
interaction of the vibrational states in polyatomic
molecules.
17
18. Vibration modes
3. Overtones (multiples of given frequency) results from
excitation from ground state to higher energy states.
Overtones occur when a vibrational mode is excited
from v=0 to v=2, which is called the first overtone, or v=0
to v=3, the second overtone.
0 --> 1 (fundamental)
0 --> 2 (first overtone)
0 --> 3 (second overtone)
0 --> 4 (third overtone)
0 --> 5 (fourth overtone)
18
19. Instrumentation
• IR radiation source
• Wavelength selector (Monochromator)
• Sample Holder or cell
• Detector
• Recorder
19
20. Sources: Inert solids heated electrically to temp of 1500-
2000K
1. Nernst Glower:
• Consists of cylinder of rare
earth oxides formed into a
cylinder of diameter 1-2mm
length approx. 20mm.
• Platinum discs are attached at
the ends of cylinder to permit
electrical connection.
• They are heated to a temp of
1200-2200K where IR
radiations are emitted.
20
21. Nernst Glower:
• Rare earth metals have large –ve temperature coefficient of
electrical resistance. (A negative temperature coefficient (NTC)
occurs when a physical property (such as thermal conductivity or
electrical resistivity) of a material lowers with increasing
temperature, typically in a defined temperature range.)
• Temp is inversely related to resistance
• At low temp, they provide high resistance to flow current and as
cylinder gets heated resistance gets reduced allowing conduction of
current.
• If large amount of current flows through cylinder it can destroy the
source.
• To avoid this source circuit should be designed to limit the current.
21
22. 2. The Globar source
• Similar to nernst glower it is also made up of
cylinder
• Material used is silicon carbide
• Length of cylinder is 50mm & diameter is 5mm
• It has positive temperature coefficient of electrical
resistance
• At low temp, they provide low resistance to flow
current and as cylinder gets heated resistance
increases allowing conduction of current.
• To avoid excessive heating water cooling is
necessary
• At high temp source emits IR radiations. 22
23. 3. Incandescent wire source (nichrome wire)
• Cylinder in the above sources is tightly wound
by spiral wire of nichrome / rhodium
• It is electrically heated at 1100 k
4. Mercury arc:
• Quartz jacketed tube Hg vapors
• Electricity passed through Hg vapour
provides radiations
4. Tungsten filament : used in Near IR
5. CO2 laser source:
• Detection of pollutants in air. 23
24. Wavelength Selectors
Filters
Monochromators
• Entrance slit
• Collimating lens or mirror
• Dispersion element (prism or grating)
• Focusing lens or mirror
• Exit slit
Output from a wavelength selector is a band of wavelengths.
24
26. Filters
• Filters are very simple: they are sheets of plastic or glass
that simply absorb wavelengths other than those
required for the analysis.
• Generally, the range of wavelengths allowed by a filter is
relatively wide
Monochromators
• are far more complicated, and comprise a series of
optics inside a lightproof box, which has entry and exit
slits which allows the radiation of all wavelengths in
and a narrow range of wavelengths out. 26
27. Prism
• The white light pass through a piece of glass and be
divided into a rainbow spectrum.
• The problems with a prism include relatively poor
throughput (the total amount of light passes through is
significantly less than the amount that went in) and the
difficulty in finding materials that diffract different
wavelength ranges.
27
29. • Entrance slit allows source radiation to illuminate the first lens
which collimates the light spreading it across the face of the
prism.
• Prism disperses radiation into component wavelengths
and the second lens focuses the spectrum at the focal plane.
• An exit slit selects the band of radiation to reach the detector. 29
30. Gratings
• It is a device which consists of a series of parallel &
closely spaced grooves rules on glass or any reflecting
surface
• Gratings are of two types
Transmission Gratings
Reflection Gratings
• UV gratings have 2000-6000 grooves per mm
• IR gratings have 10-100 grooves per mm
• Materials used for construction are Quartz, NaCl,KBr..
30
34. Handling of samples in IR
• Sampling techniques in IR depend on whether the
sample is a
Gas - Gas cell
Liquid - Thin film
Solid - KBr disks
- Mulls
- Deposited films
34
35. Gases
• Infrared transparent windows allow the cell to be
mounted directly
• Internal mirrors are used which permit the beam
to be reflected several times through the sample
to increase the sensitivity
• In vapor phase rotational changes in molecule
occur freely & these low frequency processes
can modulate the higher energy vibrational bands
Gas cell
Gas cell
35
36. Liquids
• It consists of a sampling liquid as
a thin films squeezed between
two infrared transparent windows
like NaCl flats
• The salt plates or rock salt flats
must be optically polished &
cleaned immediately after use.
• Toluene, chloroform etc are used
to clean them.
• They should be dry & handled
only by their edges
36
37. Liquids
• The thickness of the film can be adjusted by varying pressure used
to squeeze the flats together(0.01-0.1 mm)
• It consists of two windows of pressed salt sealed and separated by
thin gaskets of Teflon, copper or lead that have been wetted with
mercury. The windows are usually made of sodium chloride,
potassium chloride or cesium bromide.
• There are two cells first cell containing sample & second one
containing pure solvent placed in reference beam
• By the reference beam solvent absorptions are cancelled out &
spectrum recorded is that of solute alone.
37
38. Solids
a) KBr Disks
• It is prepared by grinding the sample with KBr & compressing the
whole into a transparent water or disk.
• KBr must be dry, & hence grinding is carried out under infrared lamp
to avoid condensation of atmospheric moisture which gives rise to
broad absorptions
• Grinding is done in a agate mortar pestle / commercial ball mills
• Poorly ground mixtures lead to disks that scatter light than they
transmit
• Particle size of 2µm must be achieved to avoid scattering
38
39. KBr Die
Hydraulic press
• Compression of a cohesive disks require high
pressure.
• Special die are used from which air can be
evacuated by hydraulic compression (10 tonnes
load)
• Disks thus formed are easy to handle
39
40. Solids
b) Mulls
• Pastes prepared by grinding the sample with a drop of oil the
mull is the squeezed between transparent windows as for
liquid samples
• Mulling agent should ideally be infrared transparent, but this
is never true
• Liquid paraffin (Nujol) is used to prepare Nujol mulls which is
transparent over a wide range in IR spectrum.
40
41. Solids
c) Solid Films
• Solid films can be deposited onto
NaCl plates by allowing a
solutions in a volatile solvent to
evaporate drop by drop on the
surface of the flat.
• Polymers & various waxy or fatty
materials often give excellent
spectra in this way.
41
43. Thermocouple
• It consists of a pair of
junction formed when 2
ends of metal such as
Bismuth & antimony are
fused to either ends of
dissimilar metal wires.
• Heating capacity of
absorbing element is
small as to detect the
change in temperature.
• Potential varies in the 2
junctions with the
difference in temperature.
43
44. Thermocouple
• One junction is Cold
junction which is reference
junction kept at constant
temperature not exposed to
IR radiations
• The other junction is Hot
junction exposed to IR
radiations which increases
temperature of junction.
• Temperature difference
due to falling IR radiations
generates the potential
difference which amounts
to Ir radaitions.
44
• Hot junction is generally
blackened to improve its
heat absorbing capacity.
IR
Radiations
45. Bolometer
• It is a type of resistance
thermometer constructed
from strips of metals such as
platinum or nickel or from
semiconductors.
• They show a relatively large
change in resistance as a
function of temperature.
• It forms one of the arm of
wheatstones bridge a similar
strip is used as balancing
arm which is not exposed to
the falling IR radiations.
45
46. Bolometer
• If IR radiations fall the
bridge becomes unbalanced
due to change in the
resistance occurred due to
change in temperature
• This causes current to flow
which is measure of
intensity of IR radiations.
46
47. Golay cells
• They are sensitive gas
thermometers
• Xenon gas is contained in a
small cylindrical chamber
which contains a blackened
membrane on one side
while other side has a
flexible diaphragm; silvered
outside.
• A beam of light is reflected
from the silvered surface to
cathode at a vacuum
phototube.
47
48. Golay cells
• When IR radiations fall on the
blackened membrane it is
heated which in turn heats
xenon gas by conduction,
resulting in increase in pressure
causes distortion of silvered
diaphragm
• As a result the fraction of
reflected light which strikes the
active surface of phototube is
changed leading to change in
photocurrent this is related to
the falling IR radiations.
48
49. Pyroelectric Detectors
• They are constructed from single crystalline water of
pyroelectric material which are dielectric materials which have
special thermal & electrical properties.
• Eg deuterated triglycine sulphate
• When an electric field is applied across any dielectric material
electrical polarization takes place.
• The magnitude of polarization is a function of dielectric
constant of that material
• This pyroelectric crystal is sandwiched between 2 electrodes
which are IR transparent.
49
50. Pyroelectric Detectors
• The pyroelectric crystal acts as a temperature
dependent capacitor
• When IR radiations fall there is a change in
temperature, which alters the charge distribution
across the crystal which can be detected as a current
in an external circuit connecting to two sided of
capacitor.
• Magnitude of current is directly proportional to surface
area of crystal and rate of
change of polarization with temperature.
50
51. Photo Conducting Detector
• They consists of a thin film of semiconductor material
such as lead sulphide, mercury cadmium telluride or
Indium antimonide deposited on Non conducting glass
surface & sealed into an evacuated envelope to protect
semiconductor from atmosphere
51
52. Photo Conducting Detector
• Absorption of radiation by these materials promote non-
conducting valence electrons to a higher energy
conducting state thus decreasing electrical resistance of
semiconductor.
52
60. APPLICATIONS OF IR SPECTROSCOPY
60
• Infrared spectroscopy is widely used in industry as well as in
research.
Some of the major applications of IR spectroscopy are as follows:
1. Identification of functional group and structure elucidation
Entire IR region is divided into group frequency region and
fingerprint region. Range of group frequency is 4000-1500 cm- while
that of finger print region is 1500-400 cm-1.
In group frequency region, the peaks corresponding to different
functional groups can be observed. According to corresponding
peaks, functional group can be determined.
Each atom of the molecule is connected by bond and each bond
requires different IR region so characteristic peaks are observed. This
region of IR spectrum is called as finger print region of the molecule. It
can be determined by characteristic peaks.
61. 61
Using the fingerprint region
• Compare the infra-red spectra of
propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol.
• Both compounds contain exactly the
same bonds.
• Both compounds have very similar
troughs in the area around 3000 cm-1 - but
compare them in the fingerprint region
between 1500 and 500 cm-1.
• The pattern in the fingerprint region is
completely different and could therefore be
used to identify the compound.
66. APPLICATIONS OF IR SPECTROSCOPY
66
2. Identification of substances
IR spectroscopy is used to establish whether a given
sample of an organic substance is identical with another
or not. This is because large number of absorption bands
is observed in the IR spectra of organic molecules and the
probability that any two compounds will produce identical
spectra is almost zero. So if two compounds have identical
IR spectra then both of them must be samples of the
same substances.
67. APPLICATIONS OF IR SPECTROSCOPY
67
3. Studying the progress of the reaction
Progress of chemical reaction can be determined by
examining the small portion of the reaction mixture
withdrawn from time to time. The rate of disappearance of a
characteristic absorption band of the reactant group and/or
the rate of appearance of the characteristic absorption band
of the product group due to formation of product is
observed.
68. 68
APPLICATIONS OF IR SPECTROSCOPY
4. Detection of impurities
IR spectrum of the test sample to be determined is
compared with the standard compound. If any additional
peaks are observed in the IR spectrum, then it is due to
impurities present in the compound.
69. 69
5. Quantitative analysis
The quantity of the substance can be determined either
in pure form or as a mixture of two or
more compounds. In this, characteristic peak
corresponding to the drug substance is chosen and log
I0/It of peaks for standard and test sample is
compared. This is called base line technique to
determine the quantity of the substance.
APPLICATIONS OF IR SPECTROSCOPY
70. Disadvantages of IR in Quantitative analysis
• Non adherence of beers law
• Complexity of spectra
