Phase separation in superconducting and antiferromagneticRb0.8Fe1.6Se2probed by Mössbauer spectroscopy
2011
${}^{57}$Fe-M\"ossbauer studies of superconducting Rb${}_{0.8}$Fe${}_{1.6}$Se${}_{2.0}$ with ${T}_{C}$ $=$ 32.4 K were performed on single-crystalline and polycrystalline samples in the temperature range 4.2--295 K. They reveal the presence of 88% magnetic and 12% nonmagnetic Fe${}^{2+}$ species with the same polarization dependence of their hyperfine spectra. The magnetic species are attributed to the 16$i$ sites of the $\sqrt{5}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\sqrt{5}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}1$ superstructure and the nonmagnetic Fe species to a nanosized phase observed in recent structural studies of superconducting K${}_{x}$Fe${}_{2\ensuremath{-}}$${}_{y}$Se${}_{2}$ systems ra…
Intercalation effect on hyperfine parameters of Fe in FeSe superconductor with Tc = 42 K
2015
57Fe-Mossbauer spectra of superconducting beta-FeSe, the Li/NH3 intercalate product and a subsequent sample of this intercalate treated with moist He gas have been measured in temperature range 4.7 - 290 K. A correlation is established between hyperfine parameters and critical temperature Tc in these phases. A strong increase of isomer shift upon intercalation is explained by a charge transfer from the Li/NH3 intercalate to the FeSe layers resulting in an increase of Tc up to 42 K. A significant decrease of the quadrupole splitting above 240 K has been attributed to diffusive motion of Li+ ions within the interlamellar space.
61Ni Mössbauer study of the surface hyperfine magnetic field in nickel
1988
61Ni Mossbauer measurements have been performed at 4.2 K on spherical Ni particles with an average diameter of 100 and 30 A, covered with a protective layer of SiO. Their spectra contain a surface component with a significantly reduced hyperfine magnetic field as compared with the field in the bulk. This result confirms recent theoretical predictions.
Radiation-Induced Stable Radicals in Calcium Phosphates: Results of Multifrequency EPR, EDNMR, ESEEM, and ENDOR Studies
2021
This article presents the results of a study of radiation-induced defects in various synthetic calcium phosphate (CP) powder materials (hydroxyapatite—HA and octacalcium phosphate—OCP) by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at the X, Q, and W-bands (9, 34, 95 GHz for the microwave frequencies, respectively). Currently, CP materials are widely used in orthopedics and dentistry owing to their high biocompatibility and physico-chemical similarity with human hard tissue. It is shown that in addition to the classical EPR techniques, other experimental approaches such as ELDOR-detected NMR (EDNMR), electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM), and electronnuclear double resonance…
Synchrotron Mössbauer Reflectometry in Materials Science
1999
57Fe nuclear resonant scattering experiments are reported on iron-containing thin films using 14.41 keV synchrotron radiation at angles of grazing incidence around and slightly above the critical angle of the electronic total reflection. In partially oxidised α–Fe films of 20 nm original thickness various oxide and oxihydroxide phases are identified at different depth. In a [Fe/FeSi]10multilayer grown on Zerodur®substrate the Fe—Fe interlayer coupling varies with the distance from the substrate. The antiferromagnetic order of the top layers of this multilayer can be suppressed by external magnetic field. These examples demonstrate the efficiency of synchrotron Mossbauer reflectometry (SMR),…
Hyperfine couplings ofN-alkoxy-N-polynitrophenylaminyl radicals determined by ENDOR and TRIPLE resonance spectroscopy
1995
Lead tetraacetate one-electron oxidation of nine different N-alkoxy-2,6-dinitroanilines substituted with trifluoromethyl, methyl and nitro groups in position 4 yielded aminyl radicals for which hyperfine couplings were measured by ENDOR and TRIPLE resonance spectroscopy. The optimum temperature range for proton ENDOR and general TRIPLE resonance measurements of aminyl radicals was 210–250 K and for nitrogen ENDOR 260 K in toluene. Further lowering for the temperature rapidly decreased the EPR intensity. The concentration of the sample and the amount of oxidant were optimized for obtaining ENDOR spectra. The relative signs of the hyperfine couplings of nitrogens, fluorines and protons were d…
Collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy
1987
The progress in atomic and molecular spectroscopy has gone hand in hand with improvements of the resolution. Before the tunable narrow-band lasers led to the invention of Doppler-free techniques, spectral lines from cooled hollow-cathode discharges(1) had typical widths larger than 300 MHz, and high resolution was achieved only in rf spectroscopy, e.g., within hyperfine structure multiplets, by the classical techniques like atomic beam magnetic resonance,(2) optical pumρing,(3) or double resonance.(4) While the Doppler broadening $$\delta {v_D} = {v_0}{\left( {{{8kT{\rm{ }}\ln {\rm{ 2}}} \over {m{c^2}}}} \right)^{1/2}}$$ (1) is negligible for resonance frequencies v 0 in the rf regime, the …
SELECTIVE AMPLIFICATION OF NARROW RESONANCE FORMED IN TRANSMISSION SPECTRUM OF Rb NANO-CELL IN MAGNETIC FIELD
2012
Recently it was shown that "λ-Zeeman Technique" (λ-ZT) is a convenient tool to study individual transitions between the Zeeman sublevels of hyperfine levels in an external magnetic field. λ-ZT is based on resonant transmission spectrum of nanometric thin cell (NTC) of thickness L = λ, where λ is the resonant wavelength 794 nm for Rb D1 line. Narrow velocity selective optical pumping (VSOP) resonances in the transmission spectrum of the NTC are split into several components in a magnetic field. Examination of VSOP resonances allows one to identify and investigate an atomic transition in the range of magnetic fields 10 - 5000 G. Here we present a new method for selective addressing of VSOP r…
Hyperfine Paschen-Back regime realized in Rb nanocell
2012
A simple and efficient scheme based on one-dimensional nanometric thin cell filled with Rb and strong permanent ring magnets allowed direct observation of hyperfine Paschen-Back regime on D1 line in 0.5 - 0.7 T magnetic field. Experimental results are perfectly consistent with the theory. In particular, with sigma+ laser excitation, the slopes of B-field dependence of frequency shift for all the 10 individual transitions of 85,87Rb are the same and equal to 18.6 MHz/mT. Possible applications for magnetometry with submicron spatial resolution and tunable atomic frequency references are discussed.
Hyperfine structure of some near-infrared Xe I and Xe II lines
2011
International audience; This work reports on the experimental determination of the hyperfine splitting of the Xe I lines at 828.01 nm and 834.68 nm and the Xe II line at 834.72 nm. Measurements were performed by means of Doppler-free saturation spectroscopy in a low-pressure radio-frequency discharge. The absolute wavelength of all hyperfine components is obtained by way of a high-precision wavemeter backed-up with the absorption spectrum of the NO 2 molecule. We provide an accurate estimate of hyperfine constants for the lower level of the Xe II transition at 834.72 nm. The two Xe I transition outcomes of our experimental study are compared with data available in the literature.
