Location: Key Scientists: Overview:
The NIST laboratory was also active in the development of the second
generation of the Fourier Transform Microwave (FTMW) spectrometer.
Their design evolved into a patented portable spectrometer optimised for
chemical analysis. As with all other rotational spectrometers this was
still too complex for industrial use, but several copies were produced
for university laboratories. This type of spectrometer was the tool for
many groundbreaking contributions from NIST made in the field of small
van der Waals and hydrogen bonded clusters.
