Development of a supercritical fluid jet technique for supersonic jet laser Spectroscopy of nonvolatile and pyrolytic molecules
A new supersonic jet technique, for nonvolatile and pyrolytic molecules, such as biomolecules, called the supercritical fluid jet (SCF-jet) technique was developed. This method enables the vaporization of such molecules without hard heating. To demonstrate the SCF-iet technique, we applied it to1-naphthol and measured the resonant enhanced multiphoton ionization spectrum.
