Temperature concepts for small, isolated systems: 1/t decay and radiative cooling
2003
We report on progress in our investigations of cluster cooling. The analysis of measurements is based on introduction of the microcanonical temperature and a statistical description of the decay of an ensemble with a broad distribution in temperature. The resulting time dependence of the decay rate is a power law close to t �1 , replaced by nearly exponential decay after a characteristic time for quenching by radiative cooling. We focus on results obtained for fullerenes, both anions and cations and recently also neutral C60.
Assessment for the mean value total dressing method: Comparison with coupled cluster including triples methods for BF, NO+, CN+, C2, BeO, NH3, CH2, H…
1997
Limited previous experience with the mean value total dressing (MVTD) method had shown that MVTD energies for closed shell systems are generally better than CCSD(T) ones compared to FCI. The method, previously published as total dressing 2′(td-2′), is based on the single reference intermediate Hamiltonian theory. It is not a CC method but deals in a great part with the same physical effects that CC methods that incorporate amplitudes of triples such as CCSDT or its CCSDT-1n approaches. A number of test calculations comparing to diverse CC methods, as well as FCI and experiment when available, have been performed. The tests concern equilibrium energies in NH3 and CH2, equilibrium energies an…
Response of Chinese Hamster V79 Multicellular Spheroids Exposed to High-Energy Carbon Ions
2004
Chinese hamster V79-379A spheroids 200 +/- 30 microm (+/- SD) in diameter were irradiated in agitated medium in different oxygen atmospheres with (1) 227 MeV/nucleon (12)C(+6) ions (plateau region) to model tissue in the entrance channel during therapy, (2) carbon ions in the extended Bragg peak modeling tissue in the target volume, or (3) X rays as a reference modality. Cell survival curves were similar for modes (1) and (3), indicating the absence of a contact effect and the presence of a pronounced oxygen effect with oxygen enhancement ratios (OERs) of 2.8 and 2.9, respectively. In contrast, the oxygen effect was substantially smaller in mode (2) with an OER of 1.4. Under normal or restr…
Isotope shifts in natural cerium
2003
High resolution crossed beam resonance fluorescence laser spectroscopy has been performed on an atomic beam of naturally occurring cerium, and isotope shifts have been measured in several transitions. Changes in mean square charge radius, δ〈r 2〉, have been extracted using the King plot technique and show the characteristic increase at the N = 82 neutron shell closure. The measurements form the basis for further investigations of radioactive isotopes and isomers on both sides of the shell closure.
Fourier transform spectroscopy and direct potential fit of a shelflike state: application to E(4)1Σ(+) KCs.
2011
The paper presents high-resolution experimental study and a direct potential construction of a shelflike state E(4)(1)Σ(+) of the KCs molecule converging to K(4(2)S) + Cs(5(2)D) atomic limit; such data are of interest for selecting optical paths for producing and monitoring cold polar diatomics. The collisionally enhanced laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra corresponding to both spin-allowed E(4)(1)Σ(+) → X(1)(1)Σ(+) and spin-forbidden E(4)(1)Σ(+) → a(1)(3)Σ(+) transitions of KCs were recorded in visible region by Fourier transform spectrometer with resolution of 0.03 cm(-1). Overall about 1650 rovibronic term values of the E(4)(1)Σ(+) state of (39)K(133)Cs and (41)K(133)Cs isotopologu…
The chemical bonds in CuH, Cu2, NiH, and Ni2 studied with multiconfigurational second order perturbation theory
1994
The performance of multiconfigurational second order perturbation theory has been analyzed for the description of the bonding in CuH, Cu2, NiH, and Ni2. Large basis sets based on atomic natural orbitals (ANOS) were employed. The effects of enlarging the active space and including the core‐valence correlation contributions have also been analyzed. Spectroscopic constants have been computed for the corresponding ground state. The Ni2 molecule has been found to have a 0+g ground state with a computed dissociation energy of 2.10 eV, exp. 2.09 eV, and a bond distance of 2.23 Å. The dipole moments of NiH and CuH are computed to be 2.34 (exp. 2.4±0.1) and 2.66 D, respectively. pou@uv.es ; merchan@…
Energy and radiative properties of the (3)1�� and (5)1��+ states of RbCs: Experiment and theory
2019
We combined high-resolution Fourier-transform spectroscopy and large-scale electronic structure calculation to study energy and radiative properties of the high-lying (3)1�� and (5)1��+ states of the RbCs molecule. The laser-induced (5)1��+(4)1��+(3)1��-A(2)1��+ b(1)3�� fluorescence (LIF) spectra were recorded by the Bruker IFS-125(HR) spectrometer in the frequency range �� 5500 to 10000cm-1 with the instrumental resolution of 0.03 cm-1. The rotational assignment of the observed LIF progressions, which exhibit irregular vibrational-rotational spacing due to strong spin-orbit interaction between A1��+ and b3(��) states was based on the coincidences between observed and calculated energy diff…
Fourier-transform spectroscopy and relativistic electronic structure calculation on the $c^3��^+$ state of KCs
2021
The Ti:Saphire laser operated within 13800 - 11800 cm$^{-1}$ range was used to excite the $c^3��^+$ state of KCs molecule directly from the ground $X^1��^+$ state. The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of the $c^3��^+ \rightarrow a^3��^+$ transition were recorded with Fourier-transform spectrometer within 8000 to 10000 cm$^{-1}$ range. Overall 673 rovibronic term values belonging to both $e/f$-components of the $c^3��^+(��=1^{\pm})$ state of $^{39}$KCs, covering vibrational levels from $v$ = 0 to about 45, and rotational levels $J\in [11,149]$ were determined with the accuracy of about 0.01 cm$^{-1}$; among them 7 values for $^{41}$KCs. The experimental term values with $v\in [0,22]$…
Fourier transform spectroscopy and coupled-channel deperturbation treatment of the A1Sigma+ ~ b3Pi complex of KCs molecule
2009
The laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra A1Sigma ~ b3Pi --> X1Sigma+ of KCs dimer were recorded in near infrared region by Fourier Transform Spectrometer with a resolution of 0.03 cm-1. Overall more than 200 LIF spectra were rotationally assigned to 39K133Cs and 41K133Cs isotopomers yielding with the uncertainty of 0.003-0.01 cm-1 more than 3400 rovibronic term values of the strongly mixed singlet A1Sigma+ and triplet b3Pi states. Experimental data massive starts from the lowest vibrational level v_A=0 of the singlet and nonuniformly cover the energy range from 10040 to 13250 cm-1 with rotational quantum numbers J from 7 to 225. Besides of the dominating regular A1Sigma+ ~ b3P Omega=…
On Oscillation Theorem for Two-Component Schrodinger Equation
2009
Conventional one-dimensional oscillation theorem is found to be violated for multi-component Schr\"{o}dinger equations in a general case while for two-component eigenstates coupled by the sign-constant potential operator the following statements are valid: (1) the ground state ($v = 0$) is not degenerate; and (2) the arithmetic mean of nodes $n_1$, $n_2$ for the two-component wavefunction never exceeds the ordering number $v$ of eigenstate: $(n_1 + n_2)/2\leq v$.
