Investigating the formation mechanism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and adapting particle swarm optimization techniques to search large data sets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The unidentified infrared bands (UIBs) have been attributed to emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The UIBs at 3.3 and 11.3 [mu]m, among others, are seen in many astrophysical environments, with the ...
