First-principles phonon calculations of Fe4+impurity in SrTiO3
2012
The results of hybrid density functional theory calculations on phonons in Sr(Fe(x)Ti(1-x))O(3) solid solution within the formalism of a linear combination of atomic orbitals are presented. The phonon density of states (DOS) calculated for 6.25% Fe(4+) impurities is reported and defect-induced phonon modes are identified. Based on our calculations and group-theoretical analysis, we suggest for the first time an interpretation of experimentally observed Raman- and IR-active modes.
Time resolved CARS measurements of I2 in solid Kr
2006
Dephasing is a central concept in condensed phase spectroscopy. It determines how long a system will maintain its coherence. The dephasing time of a system is determined by dynamic intermolecular interactions, and therefore measurements of dephasing time can provide information on interactions and couplings between a molecule and its environment. This chapter illustrates the application of the femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) method to investigate the vibrational dephasing of I 2 in solid krypton. Dephasing of vibrational states between v = 2 and v = 16 is studied in the temperature range T = 2.6–32 K. The low vibrational states show dephasing times on the order of a…
Two-phonon magneto-Raman scattering in quantum wells: Fröhlich interaction
1996
We have developed a theoretical model of two-phonon resonant magneto-Raman scattering in a semiconductor quantum well (QW). Frohlich electron-phonon interaction has been considered and the corresponding selection rules are derived for Faraday geometry and backscattering configuration. The resonant profiles are analyzed as a function of magnetic field and laser energy. To simplify the discussion a three-band model with parabolic masses has been used as a first approach, studying later the role of heavy-hole light-hole admixture in the scattering process. It is shown that, due to mixing effects, Frohlich interaction contributes to the two-phonon Raman spectra in the parallel (z(σ ± , σ ± ) z)…
Two-LO-Phonon Resonant Raman Scattering in II-VI Semiconductors
1996
Recently, absolute values of socond-order Raman scattering efficiency have been measured around the E 0 and E 0 + Δ 0 critical points of several II-VI semiconductor compounds. The measurements were perfomed in the z(x,x)z backscattering configuration on (001) (ZnSe and ZnTe) and (110) (CdTe) surfaces. They show strong incoming and outgoing resonances around the baud gap and larger scattering efficiencies as compaered to III-V compounds. A theoretical model which includes excitons as intermediate states in the Raman process is shown to give a very good quantitative agreement between theory and experiment. Only a small discrepancy exists, while III-V compounds the discrepancies were close to …
Magnetic exchange between metal ions with unquenched orbital angular momenta: basic concepts and relevance to molecular magnetism
2010
This review article is a first attempt to give a systematic and comprehensive description (in the framework of the unified theoretical approach) of the exchange interactions in polynuclear systems based on orbitally degenerate metal ions in the context of their relevance to the modern molecular magnetism. Interest in these systems is related to the fundamental problems of magnetism and at the same time steered by a number of impressive potential applications of molecular magnets, like high-density memory storage units, nanoscale qubits, spintronics and photoswitchable devices. In the presence of orbital degeneracy, the conventional spin Hamiltonian (Heisenberg–Dirac–van Vleck model) becomes…
Three dimensional PEDOT nanowires network
2016
Abstract A three dimensional (3D) structure of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanowires have been prepared by electrochemical polymerization using 3D-alumina templates. The templates were synthesized by pulse anodization in an electrochemical bath. A 3D free standing network has been obtained after the template removal. The morphological analysis by electron microscopy shows the existence of a 3D PEDOT nanowires network whose nanowire diameter is around 20 nm for the vertical nanowires and 10 nm for the transversal connections. Electrical properties such as the I–V characteristics and the Seebeck coefficient were studied for the nanowires network. Also, the optical properties have…
Raman investigation of single oxidized carbon nanotubes
2001
The oxidation process of single-walled carbon nanotubes via nitric acid treatment was followed by IR-, UV-Vis-NIR, and single bundle Raman spectroscopy. The introduction of functional, oxygen-containing groups is revealed by an additional absorption band at 1725 cm−1, characteristic of carbonyl stretch vibrations. No significant shift of the optical absorption bands could be detected after oxidation. The combination of atomic force microscopy and confocal scanning resonance-enhanced Raman microscopy was used to investigate thin bundles and, eventually, individual nanotubes in detail. These experiments enabled determination of the dependence of the Raman intensity of the G-line (around 1590 …
A closer look at the cholesterol sensor
2002
Abstract Transport of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) cleavage-activating protein (SCAP)–SREBP complex from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi is the central event mediating the cholesterol-feedback process in mammalian cells. A conformational change in SCAP is a crucial step; when cholesterol levels are high, the conformation of SCAP enables the SCAP–SREBP complex to associate with an insulin-induced gene (INSIG) retention protein in the ER. By contrast, when cholesterol levels are low, SCAP switches to a conformation that enables the dissociation of the retention protein and the association of SCAP–SREBP with COP II vesicles.
Some remarks on unconditionally convergent multipliers
2017
We present some results concerning the representation of unconditionally convergent multipliers, including a reformulation of a conjecture of Balazs and Stoeva.
Fibre Bundle for Spin and Charge in General Relativity
2000
The Lorentzian and spin structures of general relativity are shown to allow a natural extension, by means of which the set of possible electromagnetic bundles is linked to the topology and geometry of the underlying causal structure. Further, both the Dirac operator and the electromagnetic potential are obtainable from a single linear connection 1-form.
