Quantitative measurements of non-covalent interactions with diamond based magnetic imaging

2018

We present a technique employing dielectrophoretic (DEP) manipulation of surface immobilized complexes integrated with a magnetic imaging platform based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond for the quantitative measurements of non-covalent interactions. The interdigitated microelectrodes closely spaced to the functionalized surface of the diamond plate provide a wide range of applied DEP forces for noninvasive manipulation of various molecular interactions, while the NV layer under the surface reports the unbinding dynamics. Given that biological samples do not present significant magnetic background and do not screen magnetic fields, our approach has many advantages over the fluores…

Zero- to Ultralow-Field NMR Spectroscopy of Small Biomolecules.

2021

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a well-established analytical technique used to study chemicals and their transformations. However, high-field NMR spectroscopy necessitates advanced infrastructure, and even cryogen-free benchtop NMR spectrometers cannot be readily assembled from commercially available components. We demonstrate construction of a portable zero-field NMR spectrometer employing a commercially available magnetometer and investigate its applications in analytical chemistry. In particular, J-spectra of small representative biomolecules [13C]-formic acid, [1-13C]-glycine, [2,3-13C]-fumarate, and [1-13C]-d-glucose were acquired, and an approach relying on the prese…

Effect of ramp size and sample spinning speed on CPMAS 13C NMR spectra of soil organic matter

2011

Abstract Cross polarization (CP) magic angle spinning (MAS) 13C NMR spectroscopy is a solid state NMR technique widely applied to study the chemical composition of natural organic matter. In high magnetic fields (>7 T), fast sample spinning is required in order to reduce the influence of spinning sidebands underlying other chemical shift regions. As the spinning speed increases, the Hartmann–Hahn matching profiles break down into a series of narrow matching bands. In order to account for this instability variable amplitude cross polarization techniques (e.g. VACP, ramp-CP) have been developed. In the present study, we experimentally verified the stability of the Hartmann–Hahn condition unde…

Direct monitoring of spin state in dinuclear iron(II) coordination compounds

2001

So far there has been no direct method to determine the spin state of molecules in dinuclear iron(II) compounds. The molecular fractions of high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) species have been deduced from magnetic susceptibility and zero-field Mossbauer spectroscopy data irrespective of whether they belong to LS–LS, LS–HS and HS–HS pairs. However, the distinction of pairs becomes possible if Mossbauer measurements are carried out in an external magnetic field. The proposed method opens new possibilities in the study of spin crossover phenomena in dinuclear compounds.

Modification of Materials by MeV Ion Beams

2005

Today's fast developing technological based society places ever accelerating demands for new materials and materials processing methods. Leading edge fields as diverse as biomedical tissue engineering, quantum device, optical and magnetic information storage technology as well as immobilization of actinides, all require nanoscale engineering through controlled materials modification. The evolution of these advances from the research science stage to the industrial applications is a particular challenging task. Amongst the beam processing methods for materials modification MeV ions occupy a unique place. They interact strongly with both the atomic and electronic structures of the target mate…

Critical-state effects on microwave losses in type-II superconductors

2006

We discuss the microwave energy losses in superconductors in the critical state. The field-induced variations of the surface resistance are determined, in the framework of the Coffey and Clem model, by taking into account the distribution of the vortex magnetic field inside the sample. It is shown that the effects of the critical state cannot generally be disregarded to account for the experimental data. Results obtained in bulk niobium at low temperatures are quantitatively justified.

Equivalent Circuit Modelling of Ferrite Inductors Losses

2018

The modelling of the magnetic losses in the core of ferrite inductors for power conversion circuits has been considered in this paper. On the basis of the Revised Generalized Steinmetz Model (RGSE) an equivalent circuital modelling has been obtained. The losses are modelled as an equivalent resistance connected in parallel to the inductor. The model has been tested under periodic triangular current waveforms.

$PT$-symmetric graphene under a magnetic field

2016

We propose a $PT$-symmetrically deformed version of the graphene tight-binding model under a magnetic field. We analyze the structure of the spectra and the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonians around the $K$ and $K'$ points, both in the $PT$-symmetric and $PT$-broken regions. In particular we show that the presence of the deformation parameter $V$ produces several interesting consequences, including the asymmetry of the zero-energy states of the Hamiltonians and the breakdown of the completeness of the eigenvector sets. We also discuss the biorthogonality of the eigenvectors, which {turns out to be} different in the $PT$-symmetric and $PT$-broken regions.
