Doppler free ?dark resonances? for hyperfine measurements and isotope shifts in Ca+ isotopes in a Paul trap
1995
We have observed “dark resonances” in theA-type level structure, formed by the 4S1/2 ground state, the 4P1/2 excited state and the low lying metastable 3D3/2 state in the Calcium ion, confined in a Paul radio-frequency trap. These Doppler-free and potentially very narrow resonances were used to determine the magnetic dipole hyperfine interaction constant A for the 4P1/2 and 3D3/2 state of43Ca+, giving −142(8) MHz and −48.3(1.6) MHz, respectively. From measurements of the P-D (E1) and S-D (E2) transition wavelength in a mixture of43Ca+ and40Ca+ we determined the isotope shifts of these lines.
Rotation of Molecules and Nuclear Spin Relaxation
1978
Nuclear spin relaxation has been developed as a standard method for studying molecular motions in liquids, solids, polymers, and—to a lesser extent—gases, staring with the pioneering work of Bloembergen, Purcell, and Pound [1]. Of the great variety of molecular motions possible (e.g., translations, rotations, vibrations) rotations are particularly important for nuclear spin relaxation. Conversely, nuclear spin relaxation can be especially successful if information about rotational motions is desired. In this case nuclear spin relaxation can yield quantitative information over an extraordinary wide range of characteristic frequencies, from about 1 Hz to 1014Hz. It shoud be noted that, typica…
Purely long-range polar molecules composed of identical lanthanide atoms
2019
International audience; Doubly polar molecules, possessing an electric dipole moment and a magnetic dipole moment, can strongly couple to both an external electric field and a magnetic field, providing unique opportunities to exert full control of the system quantum state at ultracold temperatures. We propose a method for creating a purely long-range doubly polar homonuclear molecule from a pair of strongly magnetic lanthanide atoms, one atom being in its ground level and the other in a superposition of quasi-degenerate opposite-parity excited levels [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 063201 (2018)]. The electric dipole moment is induced by coupling the excited levels with an external electric field. W…
The Intensities of Methane in the 3–5 μm Region Revisited
2001
The analysis of the linestrengths of the infrared spectrum of methane (12 and 13) in the 3-5 µm region has been revisited on the basis of new measurements from Fourier transform spectra recorded at Kitt Peak under various optical densities. A simultaneous fit of these new data with previously reported tunable difference-frequency laser data has been done. An effective transition moment model in tensorial form up to the third order of approximation within the Pentad scheme has been used. The standard deviations achieved are very close to the experimental precision: 3 and 1.5%, respectively, for the two sets of data for the (12)CH(4) molecule, representing a substantial improvement with respe…
NaK Λ doubling and permanent electric dipoles in low-lying1Πstates: Experiment and theory
1998
The paper presents \ensuremath{\Lambda} splittings and q factors in the NaK $D{}^{1}\ensuremath{\Pi}$ state, directly measured from the electric radio-frequency-optical double resonance (RF-ODR) in laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for a number of vibrational states $v=1--22$ with definite rotational levels J between 7 and 46. Permanent electric dipole moment values (d) have been obtained by measuring in LIF spectra the relative intensities of ``forbidden'' lines caused by dc Stark effect induced $e/f$ mixing in the ${}^{1}\ensuremath{\Pi}$ state, with their subsequent processing, which allowed us to obtain the $q/d$ ratio. A possible influence of the hyperfine structure on the RF-ODR signal…
Finite amplitude method applied to giant dipole resonance in heavy rare-earth nuclei
2015
Background: The quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA), within the framework of the nuclear density functional theory (DFT), has been a standard tool to access the collective excitations of the atomic nuclei. Recently, finite amplitude method (FAM) has been developed, in order to perform the QRPA calculations efficiently without any truncation on the two-quasiparticle model space. Purpose: We discuss the nuclear giant dipole resonance (GDR) in heavy rare-earth isotopes, for which the conventional matrix diagonalization of the QRPA is numerically demanding. A role of the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn (TRK) sum rule enhancement factor, connected to the isovector effective mass, is also investig…
Spin clocks: Probing fundamental symmetries in nature
2013
The detection of the free precession of co-located 3He/129Xe nuclear spins (clock comparison) is used as ultra-sensitive probe for non-magnetic spin interactions, since the magnetic dipole interaction (Zeeman-term) drops out in the weighted frequency difference, i.e., Δω = ωHe- γHe/γXe·ωXe of the respective Larmor frequencies. Recent results are reported on searches for (i) short-range P- and T-violating interactions between nucleons, and (ii) Lorentz violating signatures by monitoring the Larmor frequencies as the laboratory reference frame rotates with respect to distant stars (sidereal modulation). Finally, a new experimental initiative to search for an electric dipole moment of 129Xe (C…
Highly transparent and birefringent chromophores for organic photorefractive materials
1999
Abstract A series of chromophores for application in organic photorefractive (PR) materials is investigated by electro-optical absorption measurements (EOAM). This experimental technique yields information on the transition dipole moment μ ag , the ground-state dipole moment μ g , and the change of the dipole moment upon optical excitation Δ μ within the intense charge transfer (CT) band of the dyes. It is shown that the results of the EOAM experiment allow us to estimate the PR figures-of-merits (FOMs) of the chromophores by either perturbational two-level equations or Kramers–Kronig transformation. In particular, chromophores based on the heterocyclic dihydropyran and dihydropyridine grou…
Electronic States, Absorption Spectrum and Circular Dichroism Spectrum of the Photosynthetic Bacterial LH2 Antenna of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila as …
1999
A new approach that uses a combination of semiempirical configuration interaction method and exciton theory to calculate electronic energies, eigenstates, absorption spectrum and circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of the LH2 antenna of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila is introduced. A statistical simulation that uses experimental homogeneous line widths was used to account for the inhomogeneous line width of the observed spectrum. Including the effect of orbital overlap of the close-lying pigments of the B850 ring and the effect of the pigment protein interaction in the B800 ring allowed a successful simulation of the experimental absorption and CD spectra of the antenna at room temperature. Two e…
Some Special Applications
2010
We have learned from the preceding chapters that the chemical and physical state of a Mossbauer atom in any kind of solid material can be characterized by way of the hyperfine interactions which manifest themselves in the Mossbauer spectrum by the isomer shift and, where relevant, electric quadrupole and/or magnetic dipole splitting of the resonance lines. On the basis of all the parameters obtainable from a Mossbauer spectrum, it is, in most cases, possible to identify unambiguously one or more chemical species of a given Mossbauer atom occurring in the same material.
