Intersystem Crossing and Light-Induced Bistability in Iron(?) Spin-Crossover Compounds
1996
Abstract The dynamics of the high-spin→low-spin intersystem crossing process in iron(?) spin-crossover compounds are strongly influenced by cooperative effects of elastic origin which are due to the large difference in volume between high-spin and low-spin complexes. The deviation from first order kinetics is attributed to a build-up of an internal pressure as the relaxation proceeds, leading to a characteristic self-acceleration. The elastic interactions may lead to a light-induced bistability for systems which otherwise remain in the high-spin state down to cryogenic temperatures.
Mössbauer effect study of the electronic ground state of iron(II) in [57FexM1−x(bipy)3](ClO4)2 (M = Mn, Ni, Zn) and [57FexM1−x(phen)3](ClO4)2 (M = Ni…
1980
Earlier work in our laboratory on the effect of metal dilution on the 5T2(Oh ⇌ 1A1(Oh) equilibrium in polycrystalline spin crossover systems of iron(II) has shown that the relative stability of the high spin state, 5T2(Oh), at a given temperature, increases markedly with decreasing iron concentration. These results have initiated the present work. Using 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy, we have investigated the electronic ground state of iron(II) in the highly diluted solid solutions [FexM1−xL3] with L = bipy, M = Mn, Ni, Zn, x ≲ 0.005 and L = phen, M = Ni, Zn, x ≲ 0.005. Although the critical field potential (Vc) of the pure iron complexes, which are known to be low spin, is reported to be not …
Dinitrosyl-iron triggers apoptosis in Jurkat cells despite overexpression of Bcl-2
2004
Cells expressing the cytokine-inducible NO synthase are known to trigger apoptosis in neighboring cells. Paramagnetic dinitrosyl nonheme iron complexes (DNIC) were found in tumor tissue about 40 years ago; however, the role of these NO(+)-bearing species is not completely understood. In the human Jurkat leukemia cell line, the application of the model complex DNIC-thiosulfate (50-200 microM) induced apoptosis (defined by phosphatidylserine externalization) in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. In Jurkat cells, the pan-caspase inhibitor, zVADfmk (50 microM), and/or stable transfection of antiapoptotic protein, Bcl-2, was unable to afford protection against DNIC-induced apoptosis. Th…
Application of the ESR spectroscopy to estimate the original dose in irradiated chicken bone
2007
Abstract The paper discusses the results of an investigation aimed to use the ESR spectroscopy as a quantitative procedure to estimate the original dose in irradiated chicken. The time stability of the ESR signal was at first carried out, to obtain a correction factor to be applied to the dose estimated with the added dose method. Our results show that this procedure gives an estimation of the original dose within ±25%.
Spin torques and magnetic texture dynamics driven by the supercurrent in superconductor/ferromagnet structures
2018
We introduce the general formalism to describe spin torques induced by the supercurrents injected from the adjacent superconducting electrodes into the spin-textured ferromagnets. By considering the adiabatic limit for the equal-spin superconducting correlations in the ferromagnet we show that the supercurrent can generate both the field-like spin transfer torque and the spin-orbital torque. These dissipationless spin torques are expressed through the current-induced corrections to the effective field derived from the system energy. The general formalism is applied to show that the supercurrent can either shift or move the magnetic domain walls depending on their structure and the type of s…
Slāpekļa vakances centru relaksācijas laika noteikšana mākslīgā dimanta kristālā
2016
Zināms, ka spinu gareniskās relaksācijas laiks T_1 izteikti korelē ar NV centru koncenrtāciju mērījumu vietā, tomēr nav skaidra precīza atkarība. Tika veikti divi neatkarīgie eksperimenti (Latvijā, LU FMF Lāzeru centrā un ASV, Berklijā), kuru rezultātā iegūtie dati ir pretrunā. Darba mērķis ir noteikt slāpekļa-vakances jeb NV centru T_1 atkarību no to lokālas koncentrācijas mākslīgā dimanta kristālā. Tika izveidota jaunā iekārta lāzeru inducētās fluorescences (LIF) iegūšanai un detektēšanai, kurā pirmo reizi Lāzeru Centra praksē tika izmantots augstās izšķirtspējas eļļas imersijas fluorescences objektīvs. Izmantojot optiski detektētās magnētiskās rezonanses (ODMR) spektrus un programmatūru …
Triplet‐State Position and Crystal‐Field Tuning in Opto‐Magnetic Lanthanide Complexes: Two Sides of the Same Coin
2019
Lanthanide-complex-based luminescence thermometry and single-molecule magnetism are two effervescent fields of research, owing to the great promise they hold from an application standpoint. The high thermal sensitivity achievable, their contactless nature, along with sub-micrometric spatial resolution make these luminescent thermometers appealing for accurate temperature probing in miniaturised electronics. To that end, single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are expected to revolutionise the field of spintronics, thanks to the improvements made in terms of their working temperature-now surpassing that of liquid nitrogen-and manipulation of their spin state. Hence, the combination of such opto-magne…
Slow magnetic fluctuations and superconductivity in fluorine-doped NdFeAsO
2015
Among the widely studied superconducting iron-pnictide compounds belonging to the Ln1111 family (with Ln a lanthanide), a systematic investigation of the crossover region between the superconducting and the antiferromagnetic phase for the Ln = Nd case has been missing. We fill this gap by focusing on the intermediate doping regime of NdFeAsO(1-x)F(x) by means of dc-magnetometry and muon-spin spectroscopy measurements. The long-range order we detect at low fluorine doping is replaced by short-range magnetic interactions at x = 0.08, where also superconductivity appears. In this case, longitudinal-field muon-spin spectroscopy experiments show clear evidence of slow magnetic fluctuations that …
Spin dynamics in the single-ion magnet [Er(W5O18)2]9−
2018
In this work we present a detailed NMR and ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}\mathrm{SR}$ investigation of the spin dynamics in the new hydrated sodium salt containing the single-ion magnet ${[\mathrm{Er}{({\mathrm{W}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{18})}_{2}]}^{9\ensuremath{-}}$. The $^{1}\mathrm{H}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{NMR}$ absorption spectra at various applied magnetic fields present a line broadening on decreasing temperature which indicates a progressive spin freezing of the single-molecule magnetic moments. The onset of quasistatic local magnetic fields, due to spin freezing, is observed also in the muon relaxation curves at low temperature. Both techniques yield a local field distribution of t…
Measurement of the g Factor of the Bound Electron in Hydrogen-like Oxygen 16O7+
2003
The measurement of the g factor of the electron bound in a hydrogen-like ion is a high- accuracy test of the theory of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) in strong fields. Here we report on the measurement of the g factor of the bound electron in hydrogen-like oxygen 16O7+. In our experiment a single 16O7+ ion is stored in a Penning trap. Quantum jumps between the two spin states (spin up and spin down) are induced by a microwave field at the spin precession frequency of the bound electron. The g factor of the bound electron is obtained by varying the microwave frequency and counting the number of spin flips. Our experimental value for the g factor of the bound electron is gexp(16O7+) = 2.000 04…
