Influence of impurity scattering on Drude response in heavy-fermion UPd2Al3
2010
The frequency-dependent conductivity of heavy-fermion metals can often be described within the picture of the Drude response: the transport relaxation rate is the only relevant frequency scale and, furthermore, reduced by orders of magnitude compared to normal metals. While the relaxation-time enhancement corresponds to the effective-mass enhancement in these materials, i.e. a fundamental material characteristic, the absolute value of the relaxation time depends on the details of the relevant scattering processes. Here we discuss the influence of impurity scattering on the Drude response of the heavy fermions in UPd2Al3 by comparing different thin film samples.

Nonazeotropy in the System Methyl Ethanoate + 1,2-Epoxybutane
1997
New vapor−liquid equilibrium data for the binary system methyl ethanoate + 1,2-epoxybutane are reported at 35 and 101.3 kPa and at 298.15 K. It is shown that no azeotropes are present in the system, in disagreement with data reported by others who claim that two azeotropes are present at 298.15 K. We claim that previously reported data are in error because of impurities in the reagents and experimental errors. According to our results, the system methyl ethanoate + 1,2-epoxybutane behaves like a regular solution and its vapor phase can be considered practically ideal so that it cannot fulfill the necessary conditions for multiple azeotropy. The data were satisfactorily correlated using the …
<title>Annealing of radiation defects in x-irradiated LiBaF<formula><inf><roman>3</roman></inf></formula>&l…
2003
Results of the glow rate technique application for analysis of the activation energy of thermostimulated annealing of X-ray created F-type color centers in pure and containing oxygen centers LiBaF3 crystals are presented. It is shown that depending on the impurity composition two alternative mechanisms could be involved in the annealing of color centers. It is proposed that either the anion vacancy governed migration of F-centers resulting in recombination with complementary defects, or the thermal delocalization of radiation created fluorine (Fi) interstitials captured by anti-structure defects followed by recombination with all kinds of complementary F-type centers are responsible for the…
Generation of defects in amorphous SiO(2) assisted by two-step absorption on impurity sites.
2011
Generation of the Si dangling bond defect in amorphous SiO(2) (E' centre) induced by tunable pulsed UV laser radiation was investigated by in situ optical absorption measurements. The defect generation efficiency peaks when the photon energy equals ∼5.1 eV, it depends quadratically on laser intensity and is correlated with the native linear absorption due to Ge impurities. We propose a model in which the generation of E' is assisted by a two-step absorption process occurring on Ge impurity sites.
Chemical profiling of the synthetic cannabinoid MDMB-CHMICA: Identification, assessment, and stability study of synthesis-related impurities in seize…
2019
In this work, the most discriminating synthesis-related impurities found in samples from seizures and controlled synthesis of the synthetic cannabinoid MDMB-CHMICA (methyl (S)-2-(1-(cyclohexylmethyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxamido)-3,3-dimethylbutanoate) were characterized. Based on 61 available powder samples of MDMB-CHMICA, 15 key-impurities were assessed, isolated in larger quantities via flash chromatography and structurally elucidated and characterized via high resolution mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Apart from verifying the relation of the impurities to the major component, the interpretation of their chemical structures with distinct structural elements pro…
A setup to develop novel Chemical Isobaric SEparation (CISE)
2020
Abstract Gas catchers are widely used to thermalize nuclear reaction products and subsequently extract them for precision measurements. However, impurities in the inert stopping gas can chemically react with the ions and thus influence the extraction efficiency. So far, chemical reactions in the gas-catcher have not been investigated in detail. Therefore, we are currently building a new setup to develop Chemical Isobaric SEparation (CISE) with the aim to understand the chemistry inside the gas-catcher and to explore its potential as a new technique for separation of isobars. In this paper, we give a short description of the setup together with the ion transportation studies performed via io…
Chloride ion impact on materials for light-emitting electrochemical cells
2013
Small quantities of Cl(-) ions result in dramatic reductions in the performance of ionic transition metal complexes in light-emitting electrochemical cells. Strong ion-pairing between aromatic protons and chloride has been established in both the solid state and solution. X-ray structural determination of 2{[Ir(ppy)2(bpy)][Cl]}·2CH2Cl2·[H3O]·Cl reveals the unusual nature of an impurity encountered in the preparation of [Ir(ppy)2(bpy)][PF6].
Kompakti automatisoitu laser-ionisointijärjestelmä
2011
In an experimental nuclear physics off-line systems are often used in situations where acceleration energies are relatively small. Main benefits are low price and meager radiated laboratory enviroments. In this master’s thesis I discuss mostly about automation which was used in our off-line system. The system was built at the Ion Guide Separator On-Line facility (IGISOL) in Jyväskylä University. The automation set up was made with the Phoenix Contacts inline terminals, which were programmed by using the Labview program. The system consists of thermistor, skimmer handling, mirror handling, gasline parts per billion (ppb) mixing and quadrupole mass spectrometer measurement. There were major p…
Anomalous Muon Knight Shift Behavior in a Cd Single Crystal
1983
For the positive muon implanted in a metal the precession frequency shift due to hyperfine fields can be measured with high precision. This provides means to obtain information about the local electronic structure of a hydrogen like impurity in any metal in the indefinitely dilute impurity concentration. Ref. 1 gives a summary of the muon Knight shift (KS) investigations in 18 nontransition (simple) metals and some transition metals and discusses the results in the context of the electronic structure of hydrogen in metals.
