Convergence of nuclear magnetic shieldings and one‐bond 1J(11 B 1H) indirect spin–spin coupling constants in small boron molecules
2018
Self‐consistent field Hartree–Fock (SCF‐HF), density functional theory (B3LYP, KT1, KT2, and KT3), and coupled‐cluster calculations of the nuclear magnetic shielding constants of BH and BH3 molecules have been conducted to characterize the convergence of individual results obtained with correlation‐ and polarization‐consistent basis sets. The individual 11B and 1H NMR parameters were estimated in the complete basis set limit and compared with benchmark literature results. The SCF‐HF and density functional theory B3LYP predicted boron shieldings and shielding anisotropies of BH significantly differed from the results obtained by coupled‐cluster with single, double, and perturbative treatment…

The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is one of the two detectors of the ATHENA astrophysics space mission approved by ESA in the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 Science Programme. The X-IFU consists of a large array of transition edge sensors (TES) micro-calorimeters covering a field of view of 5' diameter, sensitive in the energy range 0.2-12 keV, and providing a spectral resolution…
The focal plane assembly for the Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit instrument
2016
This paper summarizes a preliminary design concept for the focal plane assembly of the X-ray Integral Field Unit on the Athena spacecraft, an imaging microcalorimeter that will enable high spectral resolution imaging and point-source spectroscopy. The instrument's sensor array will be a ~ 3840-pixel transition edge sensor (TES) microcalorimeter array, with a frequency domain multiplexed SQUID readout system allowing this large-format sensor array to be operated within the thermal constraints of the instrument's cryogenic system. A second TES detector will be operated in close proximity to the sensor array to detect cosmic rays and secondary particles passing through the sensor array for off…
Ac field dependence of the susceptibility of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 thin films at low dc fields
1996
We have measured the ac field dependence of the ac susceptibility of 400 nm thick Bi2212 thin films at low dc fields 0 ≤μ0Ha ≤ 1 mT in transverse geometry. We show that at reduced temperaturest≤0.85 the ac field dependence can be described by the non-linear Bean model after Brandt as in Y123 thin films. Att>0.85, however, we observe a decrease of the energy dissipation and shielding capability. The critical current density at zero dc field is given byjc−4×1010(1−(T/Tc))2.8±0.1 A/m2.
Perturbative treatment of triple excitations in coupled‐cluster calculations of nuclear magnetic shielding constants
1996
A theory for the calculation of nuclear magnetic shielding constants at the coupled‐cluster singles and doubles level augmented by a perturbative correction for connected triple excitations (CCSD(T)) has been developed and implemented. The approach, which is based on the gauge‐including atomic orbital (GIAO) ansatz, is illustrated by several numerical examples. These include a comparison of CCSD(T) and other highly correlated methods with full configuration interaction for the BH molecule, and a systematic comparison with experiment for HF, H2O,NH3, CH4, N2, CO, HCN, and F2. The results demonstrate the importance of triple excitations in establishing quantitative accuracy. Finally, the abil…
Analytic first and second derivatives for the CCSDT-n (n = 1–3) models: a first step towards the efficient calculation of CCSDT properties
2000
Analytic first and second derivatives of the energy are implemented for closed-shell systems described by the CCSDT-n (n=1, 1b, 2 and 3) and CC3 electron correlation models. A detailed discussion of the computational requirements of these calculations is given, along with diagrammatic formulas for all relevant quantities. The method is applied to calculate the nuclear magnetic shielding of H2O, CO and N2O and the structure and properties of propadienylidene.
Nuclear magnetic shielding constants in the CC2 model
1997
Abstract Test calculations of nuclear magnetic shielding constants in the CC2 model are performed using the gauge-including atomic orbital approach. Absolute shielding constants are reported for reprsentative first-row hydrides, a few multiply bonded molecules and some challenging cases. The performance of CC2 is analyzed by comparison with experimental data and results from calculations employing more sophisticated treatments of electron correlation. In most cases, CC2 shieldings and chemical shifts are close to those obtained at second-order perturbation theory, despite the fact that the CC2 model includes an approximate treatment of orbital relaxation effects at the correlated level.
Quantitative prediction of gas-phase F19 nuclear magnetic shielding constants
2008
Benchmark calculations of (19)F nuclear magnetic shielding constants are presented for a set of 28 molecules. Near-quantitative accuracy (ca. 2 ppm deviation from experiment) is achieved if (1) electron correlation is adequately treated by employing the coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) model augmented by a perturbative correction for triple excitations [CCSD(T)], (2) large (uncontracted) basis sets are used, (3) gauge-including atomic orbitals are used to ensure gauge-origin independence, (4) calculations are performed at accurate equilibrium geometries [obtained from CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ calculations correlating all electrons], and (5) vibrational averaging and temperature corrections…
Quantitative prediction of gas-phase N15 and P31 nuclear magnetic shielding constants
2010
High-level ab initio benchmark calculations of the (15)N and (31)P NMR chemical shielding constants for a representative set of molecules are presented. The computations have been carried out at the Hartree-Fock self-consistent field (HF-SCF), density functional theory (DFT) (B-P86 and B3-LYP), second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD), and CCSD augmented by a perturbative treatment of triple excitations [CCSD(T)] level of theory using basis sets of triple zeta quality or better. The influence of the geometry, the treatment of electron correlation, as well as basis set and zero-point vibrational effects on the shielding constants are d…
Test bench for coupling and shielding magnetic field
2016
This paper describes a test bench for training purposes, which uses a magnetic field generator to couple this magnetic field to a victim circuit. It can be very useful to test for magnetic susceptibility as well. The magnetic field generator consists of a board, which generates a variable current that flows into a printed circuit board with spiral tracks (noise generator). The victim circuit consists of a coaxial cable concentric with the spiral tracks and its generated magnetic field. The coaxial cable is part of a circuit which conducts a signal produced by a signal generator and a resistive load. In the paper three cases are studied. First, the transmitted signal from the signal generato…
