Ionization energy ofLi6,7determined by triple-resonance laser spectroscopy
2007
Rydberg level energies for $^{7}\mathrm{Li}$ were measured using triple-resonance laser excitation, followed by drifted field ionization. In addition to the principal $n\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}^{2}P$ series, weak Stark mixing from residual electric fields allowed observation of $n\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}^{2}S$ and hydrogenic Stark manifold series at higher $n$. Limit analyses for the series yield the spectroscopic ionization energy ${E}_{I}(^{7}\mathrm{Li})=43\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}487.159\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}40(18)\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. The $^{6,7}\mathrm{Li}$ isotope shift (IS) was measured in selected $n\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}^{2}…
Strong-field-ionization suppression by light-field control
2012
In recent attempts to control strong-field phenomena such as molecular dissociation, undesired ionization sometimes seriously limited the outcome. In this work we examine the capability of quantum optimal control theory to suppress the ionization by rational pulse shaping. Using a simple model system and the ground-state occupation as the target functional, we show that optimal control generally leads to a significant suppression of the ionization, although the fluence and the pulse length are kept fixed. In the low-frequency regime the ionization is reduced mainly by avoiding high peaks in the intensity and thus preventing tunneling. In contrast, at high frequencies in the extreme ultravio…
Laboratory astrophysics survey of key x-ray diagnostic lines using a microcalorimeter on an electron beam ion trap
2000
Cosmic plasma conditions created in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) make it possible to simulate the dependencies of key diagnostic X-ray lines on density, temperature, and excitation conditions that exist in astrophysical sources. We used a microcalorimeter for such laboratory astrophysics studies because it has a resolving power ≈1000, quantum efficiency approaching 100%, and a bandwidth that spans the X-ray energies from 0.2 keV to 10 keV. Our microcalorimeter, coupled with an X-ray optic to increase the effective solid angle, provides a significant new capability for laboratory astrophysics measurements. Broadband spectra obtained from the National Institute of Standards and Technology…
First results on ProtoDUNE-SP liquid argon time projection chamber performance from a beam test at the CERN Neutrino Platform
2020
The ProtoDUNE-SP detector is a single-phase liquid argon time projection chamber with an active volume of 7.2× 6.1× 7.0 m3. It is installed at the CERN Neutrino Platform in a specially-constructed beam that delivers charged pions, kaons, protons, muons and electrons with momenta in the range 0.3 GeV/c to 7 GeV/c. Beam line instrumentation provides accurate momentum measurements and particle identification. The ProtoDUNE-SP detector is a prototype for the first far detector module of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, and it incorporates full-size components as designed for that module. This paper describes the beam line, the time projection chamber, the photon detectors, the cosmic-r…
Electrochemical and spectroscopic investigations of selected N -heteroalkylaminomethylenebisphosphonic acids with Pb(II) ions
2016
Abstract The coordination properties of aminomethylenebisphosphonic acids towards various metal ions have been exploited during the last decade. These compounds are good chelators for biologically important metal ions, such as Cu(II), Fe(II), Zn(II), Ca(II), and Mg(II), as well as a toxic ion (i.e., Cd(II)). In this study, the interactions of five aminomethylenebisphosphonates with N-substituted heteroalkyl moieties (L1, L2 and L3) and their N-pyridyl (L4) and N-benzylpiperazine (L5) derivatives with Pb(II) ions were investigated. A wide range of analytical methods were employed, including potentiometry, pulse polarography (DPP), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and electrospra…
Interactions of N-heteroalkylaminomethylenebisphosphonic acids with Cd(II) ions: Electrochemical and spectroscopic investigations
2015
The aminomethylenebisphosphonates are known to be excellent chelators for many metal ions. In this work, the coordination properties of three different aminomethylenebisphosphonates with N-substituted heteroalkyl moieties (L1, L2 and L3) and their N-pyridyl derivative (L4) toward cadmium(II) ions are described. Due to their coordination abilities over a broad range of pH, the compounds of this group are good candidates for heavy metal detoxification. To determine the stability constants and the coordination mode of formed aminomethylenebisphosphonate-cadmium(II) complexes, four analytical methods were employed: potentiometry, pulse polarography (DPP), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy…
Resonant laser ionization of polonium at rilis-isolde for the study of ground- and isomer-state properties
2008
Three new ionization schemes for polonium have been tested with the resonant ionization laser ion source (RILIS) during the on-line production of 196Po in a UCx target at ISOLDE. The saturation of the atomic transitions has been observed and the yields of the isotope chain 193–198,200,202,204Po have been measured. This development provides the necessary groundwork for performing in-source resonant ionization spectroscopy on the neutron-deficient polonium isotopes (Z = 84). ispartof: Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research B vol:266 issue:19 pages:4403-4406 ispartof: location:FRANCE, Deauville status: published
Untersuchungen von polymeren im massenspektrometer, 6. Poly(oxy-1,4-phenylen), poly(thio-1,4-phenylen) und poly(dithio-1,4-phenylen)
1975
Der thermische Abbau von Poly(oxy-1,4-phenylen), Poly(thio-1,4-phenylen) und Poly(dithio-1,4-phenylen) wurde durch direkte Pyrolyse in der Ionenquelle des Massenspektrometers untersucht. Bei verringerter Elektronenenergie (15 eV) konnten die elektronenstosinduzierten Fragmentierungen der Pyrolysebruchstucke weitgehend zuruckgedrangt und die thermischen Abbaumechanismen ermittelt werden. In Abhangigkeit von den Bruckenatomen werden charakteristische Unterschiede im Abbauverhalten und in der Art der gebildeten Bruchstucke gefunden. Am Beispiel des Poly(dithio-1,4-phenylen)s kann gezeigt werden, das temperaturprogrammierte Pyrolyse und Verwendung eines Datensystems zur Ermittlung von thermisch…
Cationic Copolymerization of 3,3-Bis(hydroxymethyl)oxetane and Glycidol: Biocompatible Hyperbranched Polyether Polyols with High Content of Primary H…
2015
The cationic ring-opening copolymerization of 3,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)oxetane (BHMO) with glycidol using different comonomer ratios (BHMO content from 25 to 90%) and BF3OEt2 as an initiator has been studied. Apparent molecular weights of the resulting hyperbranched polyether copolymers ranged from 1400 to 3300 g mol(-1) (PDI: 1.21-1.48; method: SEC, linear PEG standards). Incorporation of both comonomers is evidenced by MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy. All hyperbranched polyether polyols with high content of primary hydroxyl groups portray good solubility in water, which correlates with an increasing content of glycerol units. Detailed NMR characterization was employed to elucidate the copolymer …
Biodegradable pH-Sensitive Poly(ethylene glycol) Nanocarriers for Allergen Encapsulation and Controlled Release
2015
In the last decades, the number of allergic patients has increased dramatically. Allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) is the only available cause-oriented therapy so far. SIT reduces the allergic symptoms, but also exhibits some disadvantages; that is, it is a long-lasting procedure and severe side effects like anaphylactic shock can occur. In this work, we introduce a method to encapsulate allergens into nanoparticles to avoid severe side effects during SIT. Degradable nanocarriers combine the advantage of providing a physical barrier between the encapsulated cargo and the biological environment as well as responding to certain local stimuli (like pH) to release their cargo. This work int…
