Continuous-wave cavity ring-down polarimetry
2020
We present a new cavity-based polarimetric scheme for highly sensitive and time-resolved measurements of birefringence and dichroism, linear and circular, that employs rapidly pulsed single-frequency continuous wave (CW) laser sources and extends current cavity-based spectropolarimetric techniques. We demonstrate how the use of a CW laser source allows for gains in spectral resolution, signal intensity, and data acquisition rate compared to traditional pulsed-based cavity ring-down polarimetry (CRDP). We discuss a particular CW-CRDP modality that is different from intensity-based cavity-enhanced polarimetric schemes as it relies on the determination of the polarization rotation frequency du…
Disentangling the Mn moments on different sublattices in the half-metallic ferrimagnet Mn3−xCoxGa
2011
Ferrimagnetic Mn3−xCoxGa compounds have been investigated by magnetic circular dichroism in x-ray absorption (XMCD). Compounds with x>0.5 crystallize in the CuHg2Ti structure. A tetragonal distortion of the cubic structure occurs for x≤0.5. For the cubic phase, magnetometry reveals a linearly increasing magnetization of 2x Bohr magnetons per formula unit obeying the generalized Slater–Pauling rule. XMCD confirms the ferrimagnetic character with Mn atoms occupying two different sublattices with antiparallel spin orientation and different degrees of spin localization and identifies the region 0.6<x≤0.8 as most promising for a high spin polarization at the Fermi level. Individual Mn moments on…
Electron spin polarization in the photoemission of NEA GaAs1?x P x
1982
Negative electron affinity GaAs1−xPx-photocathodes emit spin-polarized electrons if irradiated with circularly polarized light. The spectra of spin polarization of photoelectrons emitted from crystals with different phosphorus contentx resemble each other in shape but shift to shorter wavelengths with increasingx. Polarization values up to 40% are observed for electrons from crystals withx=0 andx=0.38. Cathodes with higher phosphorus contents increasing fromx=0.65 tox=0.87 and tox = 1.0 deliver photoelectrons with decreasing degrees of spin polarization of 17%, 15%, and 9%, respectively, at maximum.
Strategies for efficient field-free molecular alignment and its control
2008
Strategies using shaped laser fields to produce and control efficient field-free alignment are analyzed and compared. It is in particular shown that the strategy recently proposed using a shaped laser field combining an adiabatic ramp with a kick is superior to the bipulse strategy.
Accurate Prediction of Hyperfine Coupling Tensors for Main Group Elements Using a Unitary Group Based Rigorously Spin-Adapted Coupled-Cluster Theory
2019
We present the development of a perturbative triples correction scheme for the previously reported unitary group based spin-adapted combinatoric open-shell coupled-cluster (CC) singles and doubles (COS-CCSD) approach and report on the applications of the newly developed method, termed "COS-CCSD(T)", to the calculation of hyperfine coupling (HFC) tensors for radicals consisting of hydrogen, second- and third-row elements. The COS-CCSD(T) method involves a single noniterative step with [Formula: see text] scaling of the computational cost for the calculation of triples corrections to the energy. The key feature of this development is the use of spatial semicanonical orbitals generated from st…
Measurement of the Branching Fraction and Polarization for the DecayB−→D*0K*−
2004
We present a study of the decay B- --> D*K-0*(-) based on a sample of 86 X 10(6) Y(4S) --> B (B) over bar decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We measure the branching fraction 23(B- --> D*K-0*(-)) = (8.3 +/- 1.1(stat) +/- 1.0(syst)) X 10(-4), and the fraction of longitudinal polarization in this decay to be Gamma(L)/Gamma = 0.86 +/- 0.06(stat) --> +/- 0.03(syst).
Evidence for Two-Nucleon Polarization in the π(h9/2i13/2)11- ν(j-2)0+ Level in 208Po
1974
From in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements on the 208Pb(α, 4n)208Po reaction using the Stockholm 225-cm cyclotron, we have concluded that there is an 11-, 8 ns isomeric state in 208Po, which lies 1 175 keV above the π(h 9/2 2)8+ state and that this isomeric state should have the configuration π(h 9/2 i 13/2)11- ν(j -2)0+. Calculations based on the use of empirical two-particle interactions give a position of the 11- level which deviates by about + 100 keV from the experimentally found position. It is suggested that this deviation is mainly due to the difference in the polarization of the 206Pb-and 208Pb-cores by the two aligned h 9/2 and i 13/2 protons.
Measurement of the quadrupole moment of Re185 and Re187 from the hyperfine structure of muonic X rays
2020
The hyperfine splitting of the 5g→4f transitions in muonic Re185,187 has been measured using high resolution high purity germanium detectors and compared to state-of-the-art atomic theoretical predictions. The spectroscopic quadrupole moment has been extracted using modern fitting procedures and compared to the values available in literature obtained from muonic x rays of natural rhenium. The extracted values of the nuclear spectroscopic quadrupole moment are 2.07(5) b and 1.94(5) b, respectively for Re185 and Re187.
Modulational instability in resonant optical fiber with higher-order dispersion effect
2010
International audience; The modulational instability (MI) of an electromagnetic wave in a resonant optical fiber with a two-level system is investigated. In the normal dispersion regime, we find the occurrence of nonconventional MI sidebands which are induced by the two-level resonant atoms. We also observe that the MI gain spectra are suppressed by the higher-order dispersion effect in the anomalous dispersion regime.
