The far-infrared absorption spectrum of crystalline alpha oxygen (a-0 2 ) has been measured in annealed samples up to 20 mm thick. The prominent feature of the spectrum is a temperature-dependent absorption near 27 cm" 1 which appears to be an antiferromagnetic resonance mode, the first such collective excitation to be observed in a molecular solid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
