The High-Resolution FTIR Spectrum and Equilibrium Structure of Chloro(sulphido)boron

The FTIR spectrum of chloro(sulphido)boron, Cl-B&bond;S, has been recorded at 0.0035 cm(-1) resolution. The nu(3) bands of the isotopomers (35)Cl(11)B(32)S, (37)Cl(11)B(32)S, (35)Cl(11)B(34)S, (37)Cl(11)B(34)S, (35)Cl(10)B(32)S, (37)Cl(10)B(32)S, and (35)Cl(10)B(34)S have been analyzed to yield effective rotational and centrifugal distortion constants for the ground and a number of excited vibrational states. For the (35)Cl(11)B(32)S isotopomer the nu(1) band has also been analyzed. The rotational constants have been used to determine equilibrium bond lengths of 168.42(8) and 160.14(8) pm for the Cl-B and B-S bonds, respectively. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Near-Infrared Laser Spectroscopy of TiS: The b(1)Pi-X(3)Delta Transition

Laser-induced fluorescence spectrum of TiS in the 769-863 nm region has been recorded and analyzed. The TiS molecule was produced using the technique of laser vaporization/reaction with supersonic cooling. Twenty-one weak subbands have been assigned as being due to b(1)Pi-X(3)Delta, B(3)Pi(0)-X(3)Delta(1), and C(3)Delta-X(3)Delta transitions. Strong evidence shows that the b(1)Pi state is responsible for perturbing the v = 0, 1, and 2 levels of the C(3)Delta(1) subband. The molecular constants of the b(1)Pi state have been determined as follows: T(e) = 10 589.47 cm(-1), omega(e) = 542.14 cm(-1), omega(e)x(e) = 3.16 cm(-1), B(e) = 0.19568 cm(-1), and alpha(e) = 0.00085 cm(-1). The spin-orbit interaction between the b(1)Pi (v = 2 and 3) and C(3)Delta (v = 1 and 2) levels is discussed in terms of configuration interaction occurring between the b(1)Pi from the 11varsigma(1) 5pi(1) configuration and the (1)Pi from the 5pi(1) 1delta(1) configuration, and the C(3)Delta state from 12varsigma(1) 1delta(1) configuration.

Spin-triplet superconductivity in UNi(2)Al(3) revealed by the (27)Al Knight shift measurement

We report (27)Al Knight shift ( (27)K) measurement on a single-crystal UNi(2)Al(3) that reveals a coexistence of superconductivity and a spin-density-wave (SDW) type of magnetic ordering ( T(SDW) = 4.5 K). The spin part of (27)K, (27)K(s), does not change down to 50 mK across the superconducting (SC) transition temperature T(c) approximately 0.9 K. In contrast with the isostructural compound UPd(2)Al(3) ( T(c) approximately 2 K), which was identified to be a spin-singlet d-wave superconductor, the behavior of (27)K strongly supports that UNi(2)Al(3) , like UPt(3) and Sr(2)RuO(4), belongs to a class of spin-triplet SC pairing state superconductors.     

Unambiguous identification of (17)O containing ozone isotopomers for symmetry selective detection

Symmetry selective detection of the (17)O containing ozone isotopomers (16)O(16)O(17)O and (16)O(17)O(16)O requires the unambiguous identification of absorption lines. We report high resolution tuneable diode laser spectrometer measurements of (17)O containing ozone isotopomers in the R-branch of the nu3 band and present a purely experimental technique that discriminates between (16)O(16)O(17)O and (16)O(17)O(16)O. Around 1040 cm(-1), differences in line positions of (16)O(17)O(16)O upto 4 x 10(-3) cm(-1) between our measurements and present spectroscopic database records (HITRAN 2004) are found.     

The v(1)+v(3) Bands of the (16)O(17)O(16)O and (16)O(16)O(17)O Isotopomers of Ozone

Using 0.002 cm(-1) resolution Fourier transform absorption spectra of an (17)O enriched ozone sample, an extensive analysis of the v(1)+v(3) bands of the (16)O(17)O(16)O and (16)O(16)O(17)O isotopomers of ozone has been performed for the first time. The experimental rotational levels of the (101) vibrational states were satisfactorily reproduced using a Hamiltonian matrix that takes into account the observed rovibrational resonances. More precisely, for (16)O(17)O(16)O, as for the other C(2v)-type ozone isotopomers, it was necessary to account for the Coriolis type resonances linking the (101) rotational levels with the levels of the (200) and (002) vibrational states and the Darling-Dennison interaction coupling the levels of (200) with those of (002). For the C(s)-type isotopomer, namely (16)O(16)O(17)O, as for (16)O(16)O(18)O and (16)O(18)O(18)O, it proved necessary to also account for an additional DeltaK(a)&equals+/-2 resonance involving the rotational levels from (101) and (002) (J.-M. Flaud and R. Bacis, Spectrochimica Acta Part A 54, 3-16 (1998)). Using a Hamiltonian matrix which takes these resonances explicitly into account, precise vibrational energies and rotational and coupling constants were deduced, leading to the following band centers: v(0)(v(1)+v(3))=2078.3496 cm(-1) for (16)O(17)O(16)O and v(0)(v(1)+v(3))=2098.8631 cm(-1) for (16)O(16)O(17)O.

Measurement of (1)J(NC') and (2)J(H(N))(C') couplings from spin-state-selective two-dimensional correlation spectrum.

A method for the measurement of (1)J(NC') and (2)J(H(N))(C') coupling constants from a simplified two-dimensional [(15)N, (1)H] correlation spectrum is presented. The multiplet components of the (1)J(NC') doublet in the indirect dimension and (2)J(H(N))(C') in the direct dimension are separated into two subspectra by spin-state-selective filters. Thus each subspectrum contains no more peaks than the conventional [(15)N, (1)H]-HSQC spectrum. Furthermore, the method for the measurement of (1)J(NC') and (2)J(H(N))(C') is designed to exploit destructive relaxation interference (TROSY). The results are verified against the measurements of (1)J(NC') from spin-state-selective [(13)C', (1)H] correlation spectra recorded with additional sequence described here.     

The Rotational Spectra, Structure, Internal Dynamics, and Electric Dipole Moment of the Argon-Ketene van der Waals Complex

Pulsed-beam Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy was used to observe and assign the rotational spectra of the argon-ketene van der Waals complex. Tunneling of the hydrogen or deuterium atoms splits the a- and b-type rotational transitions of H(2)CCO-Ar, H(2)(13)CCO-Ar, H(2)C(13)CO-Ar, and D(2)CCO-Ar into two states. This internal motion appears to be quenched for HDCCO-Ar where only one state is observed. The spectra of all isotopomers were satisfactorily fit to a Watson asymmetric top Hamiltonian which gave A=10 447.9248(10) MHz, B=1918.0138(16) MHz, C=1606.7642(15) MHz, Delta(J)=16.0856(70) kHz, Delta(JK)=274.779(64) kHz, Delta(K)=-152.24(23) kHz, delta(J)=2.5313(18) kHz, delta(K)=209.85(82) kHz, and h(K)=1.562(64) kHz for the A(1) state of H(2)CCO-Ar. Electric dipole moment measurements determined &mgr;(a)=0.417(10)x10(-30) C m [0.125(3) D] and &mgr;(b)=4.566(7)x10(-30) C m [1.369(2) D] along the a and b principal axes of the A(1) state of the normal isotopomer. A least squares fit of principal moments of inertia, I(a) and I(c), of H(2)CCO-Ar, H(2)(13)CCO-Ar, and H(2)C(13)CO-Ar for the A(1) states give the argon-ketene center of mass separation, R(cm)=3.5868(3) ?, and the angle between the line connecting argon with the center of mass of ketene and the C=C=O axis, θ(cm)=96.4 degrees (2). The spectral data are consistent with a planar geometry with the argon atom tilted toward the carbonyl carbon of ketene by 6.4 degrees from a T-shaped configuration.

Ultraviolet upconversion fluorescence in rare-earth-ion-doped Y2O3 induced by infrared diode laser excitation

Room-temperature ultraviolet emission of Tm(3+) ions at 298 ((1)I(6)-->(3)H(6)), 364 ((1)D(2)-->(3)H(6)), and 391 nm ((1)I(6)-->(3)H(5)) was obtained in Y(2)O(3):Yb(3+)-Tm(3+) by continuous-wave diode laser excitation of 980 nm. Power dependence analysis demonstrates that five- and six-photon upconversion processes populate the (1)D(2) and (1)I(6) states, respectively. We believe that the (1)D(2) population originates from the cross relaxation (1)G(4)+(3)F(4)-->(3)H(4)+(1)D(2) of the Tm(3+) ions, while subsequent energy transfer from Yb(3+) to Tm(3+) excites the (1)D(2) state to the upper (1)I(6) state. High multiphoton-induced ultraviolet emission is also expected for other trivalent rare-earth ions similar to Tm(3+).     

First-principles study on the electronic structure and magnetism of layered oxyselenide La2Mn2Se2O3

The electronic structure and magnetism of layered oxyselenide La(2)Mn(2)Se(2)O(3) have been studied by using first-principles calculations within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and GGA + U methods. The G-type antiferromagnetic (AF) state is calculated to be the most stable phase among the various magnetic configurations of interest, irrespective of the choice of the functional used, which is in good agreement with the experiments. In contrast to La(2)Fe(2)Se(2)O(3) and La(2)Co(2)Se(2)O(3), in which the AF states show metallic behavior under the GGA method, we predict the ground state of La(2)Mn(2)Se(2)O(3) is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of ～0.52 eV via the GGA calculations. This is closely related to a closed shell configuration and large exchange splitting (～3.5 eV) in the Mn 3d states. Moreover, the magnetic properties are also discussed in terms of the calculated Heisenberg spin exchange constants, suggesting that La(2)Mn(2)Se(2)O(3) is a strong two-dimensional magnetically frustrated system.     

Rovibrational Intensities of the (00(0)3) <-- (10(0)0) Dyad Absorption Bands of (12)C(16)O(2)

Absolute line intensities of (12)C(16)O(2) are experimentally measured for the first time for the (00(0)3)(I) <-- (10(0)0)(II) band at 5687.17 cm(-1) and the (00(0)3)(I) <-- (10(0)0)(I) band at 5584.39 cm(-1). The spectra were obtained using a Bomem DA8 Fourier transform spectrometer and a 25-m base-path White cell at NASA-Ames Research Center. The rotationless bandstrengths at a temperature of 296 K and the Herman-Wallis parameters are S(0)(vib) = 6.68(30) x 10(-25) cm(-1)/(molecule/cm(2)); A(1) = 1.4(9) x 10(-4), and A(2) = -1.1(5) x 10(-5) for the (00(0)3)(I) <-- (10(0)0)(II) band and S(0)(vib) = 6.07(22) x 10(-25) cm(-1)/(molecule/cm(2)); A(1) = 5.2(1.5) x 10(-4) and A(2) = -4.0(7) x 10(-5) for the (00(0)3)(I) <-- (10(0)0)(I) band.     

Evidence for B0 --> D+ D- and observation of B- --> D0D- and B- -->D0D*- decays

We report evidence for B(0) --> D(0)D(-) and the first observation of the decay modes B(-) --> D(0)D(-) and B(-) --> D(0)D(*-) based on a sample of 152 x 10(6) BB events collected by the Belle detector at KEKB. The branching fractions for B(0) --> D(+) D(-), B--->D(0)D(-), and B--> D(0)D(*-) are found to be (1.91 +/- 0.51 +/- 0.30) x10(-4), (4.83 +/- 0.78 +/- 0.58) x 10(-4), and (4.57 +/- 0.71 +/- 0.56) x 10(-4), respectively. Charge asymmetries in the B---> D(0)D(-) and B(-) --> D(0)D(*-) channels are consistent with zero.     

The nu(2), nu(4) + nu(5), nu(6) + nu(9), and nu(8) Band System in 1,1,1-Trifluoroethane

High-resolution FTIR spectra of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a) have been recorded in the region from 1370 to 1470 cm(-1) with an unapodized resolution of 0.0016 cm(-1) at room temperature and of 0.004 cm(-1) at 183 and 100 K. The two main infrared active bands of A(1) symmetry have been shown to be nu(2) at 1407.5 cm(-1) and nu(4) + nu(5) at 1440.5 cm(-1). With the aid of Raman spectra, the two infrared inactive bands of E symmetry in this spectra region have been shown to be nu(8) at 1457.5 cm(-1) and nu(6) + nu(9) at 1446.2 cm(-1). The nu(2) band was analyzed as an isolated band, whereas the nu(4) + nu(5) band was analyzed as part of the triad nu(4) + nu(5), nu(6) + nu(9), and nu(8). Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

吸光度比值-导数光谱法同时测定铜(Ⅱ)和铬(Ⅲ)的研究

Pronounced enhancement of the lower critical field and critical current deep in the superconducting state of PrOs4Sb12

We have observed an unexpected enhancement of the lower critical field H(c1)(T) and the critical current I(c)(T) deep in the superconducting state below T approximately 0.6 K (T/T(c) approximately 0.3) in the filled skutterudite heavy fermion superconductor PrOs(4)Sb(12). From a comparison of the behavior of H(c1)(T) with that of the heavy fermion superconductors U(1-x)Th(x)Be(13) and UPt(3), we speculate that the enhancement of H(c1)(T) and I(c)(T) in PrOs(4)Sb(12) reflects a transition into another superconducting phase that occurs below T/T(c) approximately 0.3. An examination of the literature reveals unexplained anomalies in other physical properties of PrOs(4)Sb(12) near T/T(c) approximately 0.3 that correlate with the features we have observed in H(c1)(T) and I(c)(T).

The ionic conductivity in lithium-boron oxide materials and its relation to structural, electronic and defect properties: insights from theory

We review recent theoretical studies on ion diffusion in (Li(2)O)(x)(B(2)O(3))(1-x) compounds and at the interfaces of Li(2)O :B(2)O(3) nanocomposite. The investigations were performed theoretically using DFT and HF/DFT hybrid methods with VASP and CRYSTAL codes. For the pure compound B(2)O(3), it was theoretically confirmed that the low-pressure phase B(2)O(3)-I has space group P3(1)21. For the first time, the structure, stability and electronic properties of various low-index surfaces of trigonal B(2)O(3)-I were investigated at the same theoretical level. The (101) surface is the most stable among the considered surfaces. Ionic conductivity was investigated systematically in Li(2)O, LiBO(2), and Li(2)B(4)O(7) solids and in Li(2)O:B(2)O(3) nanocomposites by calculating the activation energy (E(A)) for cation diffusion. The Li(+) ion migrates in an almost straight line in Li(2)O bulk whereas it moves in a zig-zag pathway along a direction parallel to the surface plane in Li(2)O surfaces. For LiBO(2), the migration along the c direction (E(A) = 0.55 eV) is slightly less preferable than that in the xy plane (E(A) = 0.43-0.54 eV). In Li(2)B(4)O(7), the Li(+) ion migrates through the large triangular faces of the two nearest oxygen five-vertex polyhedra facing each other where E(A) is in the range of 0.27-0.37 eV. A two-dimensional model system of the Li(2)O :B(2)O(3) interface region was created by the combination of supercells of the Li(2)O (111) surface and the B(2)O(3) (001) surface. It was found that the interface region of the Li(2)O:B(2)O(3) nanocomposite is more defective than Li(2)O bulk, which facilitates the conductivity in this region. In addition, the activation energy (E(A )) for local hopping processes is smaller in the Li(2)O :B(2)O(3) nanocomposite compared to the Li(2)O bulk. This confirms that the Li(2)O:B(2)O(3) nanocomposite shows enhanced conductivity along the phase boundary compared to that in the nanocrystalline Li(2)O.     

Magnetic order in hybrid frustrated magnets Gd(2-x)Tb(x)Ti2O7 (x = 0.2 and 0.5)

We report on the specific heat, magnetization and ac susceptibility measurements of single crystals of hybrid frustrated magnets Gd(1.8)Tb(0.2)Ti(2)O(7) and Gd(1.5)Tb(0.5)Ti(2)O(7). The analysis of experimental data revealed that, although partial replacing of the Gd(3+) ions by the Tb(3+) ions in the Gd(2)Ti(2)O(7) host lattice slightly enhances antiferromagnetic coupling, as inferred from the evolution of the paramagnetic Curie-Weiss temperature, the ordering temperature gradually decreases. Paramagnetic correlations introduced by the Tb(3+) ions cause this perturbation, altering the effective further neighbor interactions and destabilizing the ground state in Gd(2)Ti(2)O(7). In addition, the low-energy states of Gd(2-x)Tb(x)Ti(2)O(7) are suggested to possess a nature different from those in parent members Tb(2)Ti(2)O(7) and Gd(2)Ti(2)O(7). Finally, the frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility behavior in Gd(1.5)Tb(0.5)Ti(2)O(7) is consistent with the formation of a spin-glass-like state indicating a pronounced slowing down of the dynamical response of the studied hybrid magnets.     

High-Resolution Laser Spectroscopy of YbCl: The A(2)Pi-X(2)Sigma(+) Transition

The A(2)Pi-X(2)Sigma(+) transition of (174)Yb(35)Cl and (172)Yb(35)Cl has been rotationally analyzed for the first time. Doppler-limited laser excitation spectroscopy with selective detection of fluorescence was used to obtain spectra of the 0-0 and 1-0 bands with a measurement accuracy of approximately 0.0035 cm(-1). Resolved fluorescence was used to record the 0-1, 0-2, and 0-3 bands and to unequivocally assign the rotational numbering, N, to the laser excitation spectra. In total, over 1300 line positions have been measured and assigned for each of the two isotopomers and employed in least-squares fits of molecular parameters. The principal results for the A(2)Pi state are A(e) = 1491.494(2) cm(-1) and R(e) = 2.4433(1) ?, and for the X(2)Sigma(+) state, R(e) = 2.4883(2) ? and gamma(e) = 4.59(2) x 10(-3) cm(-1). The interaction between the X(2)Sigma(+) and A(2)Pi states has been investigated and is shown to be the main contributor to the spin-rotation splitting in the ground state.
