Buffer-gas-free mass-selective ion centering in Penning traps by simultaneous dipolar excitation of magnetron motion and quadrupolar excitation for i…
2012
A new excitation scheme of the radial ion-motional modes is introduced for Penning-trap ion-cyclotron-resonance experiments. By simultaneous dipolar excitation of the magnetron motion and resonant quadrupolar excitation for the conversion between magnetron motion and cyclotron motion, a mass-selective recentering of the ions of interest is performed while all other (contaminant) ions are ejected from the trap. This new technique does not rely on the application of a buffer gas as presently used [G. Savard, St. Becker, G. Bollen, H.-J. Kluge, R.B. Moore, Th. Otto, L Schweikhard, H. Stolzenberg, U. Wiess, Physics Letters A 158 (1991) 247] and will thus prevent charge-exchange reactions and da…

H-He collision-induced satellite in the Lyman alpha profile of DBA white dwarf stars
2020
The spectra of helium-dominated white dwarf stars with hydrogen in their atmosphere present a distinctive broad feature centered around 1160~\AA\/ in the blue wing of the Lyman-$\alpha$ line. It is extremely apparent in WD 1425+540 recently observed with HST COS. With new theoretical line profiles based on ab initio atomic interaction potentials we show that this feature is a signature of a collision-induced satellite due to an asymptotically forbidden transition. This quasi-molecular spectral satellite is crucial to understanding the asymmetrical shape of Lyman-$\alpha$ seen in this and other white dwarf spectra. Our previous work predicting this absorption feature was limited by molecular…
Size-consistent ab initio calculation of the electric quadrupole moment of Cl2
2003
Abstract The molecular electric quadrupole moment ( Θ ) of Cl 2 has been calculated using SDCI, and (SC) 2 -SDCI wave functions as well as CCSD, CCSD(T), and CC3 methods. All these correlation methods are single reference. All of them, but SDCI, are free of the size-extensivity error. The variation of Θ from the separated atoms to the equilibrium region is reported. The present results leads to an estimated value of 2.3520 a.u. (10.55 × 10 −40 Cm 2 ) corresponding to a CC(3) calculation at the CBS approach and including the ro-vibrational and thermal averaging corrections. This value is compatible with two experimental values and points to one of them as slightly more reliable.
Asymptotic potentials and rate constants in the adiabatic capture centrifugal sudden approximation for X + OH(X-2 Pi) -> OX + H(S-2) reactions where …
2012
International audience; New long-range multipolar coefficients for the X + OH(X-2 Pi) interactions, where X = O(P-3), S(P-3) and N(S-4), are given here. They have been evaluated on the basis or monomer properties of the atoms and OH such as the dipole and quadrupole moments, and the static and dynamic polarizabilities. Each matrix element of the 18 x 18 (8 x 8 for N + OH) quasi-degenerate asymptotic potentials has been built up by means of the perturbation theory up to second order including or not the fine-structure of O, S and OH. The adiabatic potentials, obtained after diagonalization of the full matrix, show many crossings and complex behaviors near the asymptotes. Using the entrance c…
Rotational spectra and hyperfine structure of isotopic species of deuterated cyanoacetylene, DC3N
2008
Abstract Cyanoacetylene enriched in deuterium was used to record pure rotational transitions of DC 3 N and its rare 13 C and 15 N isotopic species by employing Fourier transform microwave (FTMW) spectroscopy on a supersonic-jet expansion at centimeter wavelengths (8.2–25.4 GHz) and by using long-path absorption spectroscopy at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths (82–900 GHz). In addition, submillimeter wave measurements (304–897 GHz) have been performed for DC 3 N in its v 7 = 1 lowest excited vibrational state. Hyperfine structure caused by the 14 N and D nuclei has been resolved in the FTMW spectra. Quantum-chemical calculations have been performed on the hyperfine structure paramete…
Intramolecular charge transfer and enhanced quadratic optical non-linearities in push pull polyenes
1997
Abstract Push-pull polyenes, which have an electron-donating group (D) and an electron-withdrawing group (A) grafted on opposite ends of a conjugated polyenic chain, are of particular interest as model compounds for long-distance intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), as well as potent non-linear optical chromophores. Several series of push-pull polyenes of increasing length, combining aromatic donor moieties and various acceptor groups, have been prepared and studied. Their linear and non-linear optical properties have been investigated by performing electro-optical absorption measurements (FOAM) and electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation (EFISH) experiments in solution. Each mol…
<title>Influence of radiation defects on exciton-magnon interactions in nickel oxide</title>
2005
Influence of radiation defects on the optical absorption spectrum of nickel oxide (NiO) was studied at 6 K in the near-IR energy range of 7750-8300 cm-1 corresponding to the magnetic-dipole transition 3A 2g(F )->3T 2g(F ) at nickel sites. NiO single crystals grown by the method of chemical transport reactions on the MgO(100) substrates were irradiated by the neutron fluences up to 5x1018 cm-2. Two sharp lines were observed at the low-energy side of the band: the peak at 7805 cm-1 is assigned to the pure exciton transition, whereas the peak at 7845 cm-1, to the exciton-magnon excitation that occurs at the Brillouin zone-center (BZC). An increase of the defect concentration at higher fluences…
Double-Electron Excitations in L-edges X-ray-Absorption Spectra of W, Ir and Cs Oxide Compounds
1993
Very strong double-electron excitations have been observed for the first time in the W, Ir L 3-edge and Cs L 1,2,3-edges X-ray-absorption spectra of tungsten and iridium oxide thin films and cesium oxide containing glasses. They are expressed as peaks with a width of several electron-volts located at the absorption background above the edge. The positions of these features are in good agreement with atomic calculations in the Z+1 approximation. They can be attributed to the transitions 2p4d → 5d5d for the L 2,3-edges and 2s4d → 6p5d for the L 1-edge with the dipole selection rules for the angular and total angular momentum ΔL=±1, ΔJ=0,±1.
Design of a 10 GHz minimum-B quadrupole permanent magnet electron cyclotron resonance ion source
2020
This paper presents a simulation study of a permanent magnet electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) with a minimum-B quadrupole magnetic field topology. The magnetic field is made to conform to conventional ECRIS with $B_\textrm{min}/B_\textrm{ECR}$ of 0.67 and a last closed magnetic isosurface of 1.86$B_\textrm{ECR}$ at 10 GHz. The distribution of magnetic field gradients parallel to the field, affecting the electron heating efficiency, cover a range from 0 to 13 T/m, being similar to conventional ECRIS. Therefore it is expected that the novel ion source produces warm electrons and high charge state ions in significant number. Single electron tracking simulations are used to estim…
