n-cluster models in a transverse magnetic field
2017
In this paper we analize a family of one dimensional fully analytically solvable models, named the n-cluster models in a transverse magnetic field, in which a many-body cluster interaction competes with a uniform transverse magnetic field. These models, independently by the cluster size n + 2, exibit a quantum phase transition, that separates a paramagnetic phase from a cluster one, that corresponds to a nematic ordered phase or a symmetry-protected topological ordered phase for even or odd n respectively. Due to the symmetries of the spin correlation functions, we prove that these models have no genuine n+2-partite entanglement. On the contrary, a non vanishing concurrence arises between s…
Scattering studies of large scale structures at the ultra small angle neutron scattering instrument S18
2002
Abstract In recent years ultra small angle neutron scattering (USANS) has developed into a powerful standard method for large scale structure investigations. The upgraded instrument S18 at the ILL's 58 MW high flux reactor is operated routinely with increasing beam time demand. The performance of the instrument and its abilities will be discussed in this paper. A peak to background ratio better than 10 5 is reached using Agamalian's tail reduction method. A q -range from 2.10 −5 up to 5.10 −2 A −1 can be covered. This allows a clear overlap with standard pinhole SANS instruments. The new way collecting scattering data logarithmically equidistant in q -space saves measuring time. This allows…
Standard forms and entanglement engineering of multimode Gaussian states under local operations
2007
We investigate the action of local unitary operations on multimode (pure or mixed) Gaussian states and single out the minimal number of locally invariant parametres which completely characterise the covariance matrix of such states. For pure Gaussian states, central resources for continuous-variable quantum information, we investigate separately the parametre reduction due to the additional constraint of global purity, and the one following by the local-unitary freedom. Counting arguments and insights from the phase-space Schmidt decomposition and in general from the framework of symplectic analysis, accompany our description of the standard form of pure n-mode Gaussian states. In particula…
Inhomogeneity and complexity measures for spatial patterns
2002
In this work, we examine two different measures for inhomogeneity and complexity that are derived from non-extensive considerations à la Tsallis. Their performance is then tested on theoretically generated patterns. All measures are found to exhibit a most sensitive behaviour for Sierpinski carpets. The procedures here introduced provide us with new, powerful Tsallis’ tools for analysing the inhomogeneity and complexity of spatial patterns.
Structural and dynamical characterization of melt PEO–salt mixtures
2002
Abstract Salt doped poly ethylene oxide (PEO) mixtures were investigated by means of both small angle neutron scattering and QENS techniques aiming to characterize morphological and dynamical features in the melt state. These experimental evidences provide support to the proposed heterogeneous scenario for polymer electrolytes. In particular, the existence of PEO–cation complexes is proposed to play a major role in intramolecular cooperation and intermolecular transient crosslinks, which affects the mixture properties.
Effects of 3rd-harmonic voltage content on dielectric losses of solid insulating materials
1981
Dielectric losses in solid insulating materials subjected to voltages containing 3rd harmonics are studied. By simple theoretical analysis, some curves are obtained showing the behaviour of the ratio between the dielectric losses in the distorted steady state and in a reference sinusoidal steady state, against 3rd-harmonic content. The reference sinusoidal voltage amplitudes were selected in two different ways; namely, such as to have either peak value or effective value equal to those of distorted waveform.Separate effects of harmonic content and of effective value of the applied voltage are shown through the correspondence of every 3rd-harmonic phase angle. Percentage differences between …
Über antimon-haltige heterocyclen
1980
Abstract p -Nitrophenyl- and p -tolyl-oxadithia- and trithiastibocanes have been synthesized from the respective aryldichlorostibane and dithiole. The compounds have been characterised by means of 13 C NMR and vibrational spectra (ν(SBS 2 ) 350–320 cm −1 ). The crystal structure of p -nitrophenyltrithiastibocane has been determined ( R = 0.042). The eight-membered ring exhibits a boat-chair conformation. Single-bond distances of SbC and SbS (219, 244 and 245 pm), a 1,5-transannular Sb⋯S interaction (319 pm), and Sb⋯S and Sb⋯O (339 and 353 pm) intermolecular contacts, result in a six-coordinated Sb III (ψ-monocapped octahedral) species. The two additional Sb⋯S distances are in accordance w…
Mixed micelles composed of Peptides and Gadolinium complexes as tumor-specific contrast agents in MRI: a SANS study
2004
A detailed structural investigation on mixed micelle aggregates as target-specific contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging technique has been carried out by way of small angle neutron scattering measurements. These mixed micelles are formed by two new amphiphilic molecules formed by a bioactive peptide and a claw moiety. The first molecule, C18H37CONH(AdOO)(x)-G-CCK8 (C18LxCCK8, x = 2, 5), contains an 18-carbon-atom alkylic chain bound to the C-terminal of the cholecystokinin octapeptide amide (CCK 26-33 or CCK8) and is able to bind to the overexpressed CCK receptor of some tumor cells. The second molecule, C(18)H(37)CONHLys(DTPAGlu)CONH25- (C18DTPAGlu) or its gadolinium complex [C(1…
Micelles formed from photochemically active amphiphiles: structural characterization by small-angle neutron scattering
1996
Abstract A novel class of photochemically active amphiphiles has been synthesized containing a ketone moiety as a biradical or radical pair precursor on the hydrophobic tail of sodium sulfate surfactants. Alteration of the molecular structure of each ketone-containing surfactant allows for the systematic and predictable manipulation of the micellar size and shape, both of which are important in determining the coupling between the unpaired electrons confined within the micelle and the intraradical dynamics. The structure of the resulting aggregates has been analyzed by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The results show that the amphiphiles form ellipsoidal micelles with aggregation num…

The central eight-membered ring of the title compound, C40H36N8O2, deviates from the ideal boat conformation because the bond between the exo-ethylene group and the adjacent N atom is twisted by 60.0 (4)° due to steric hindrance. Its adjacent benzene and pyrazole rings are oriented almost perpendicular to each other, making a dihedral angle of 85.8 (3)°. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C(ar)—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.
