Magnetic field effects on the reaction of the photoexcited triplet of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone in SDS micellar solution containing the 4-(lauroylamino)-TEMPO radical

A study has ben made of magnetic field effects (MFEs) on the reaction of the photoexcited triplet of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (MNQ) in SDS micellar solution containing the 4-lauroylamino-TEMPO radical (L-R^?) under magnetic fields below 1.75 T by a nanosecond laser flash photolysis technique. The triplet MNQ mainly underwent the hydrogen abstraction from an SDS molecule to give a radical pair. The lifetime of the radical pair increased with increasing magnetic field from 0 to 0.62 T. The escaped radical yield also increased from 0 to 1.75 T. The qualitative features of these MFEs were similar to those observed for the photo-reduction of MNQ in SDS micellar solution without L-R^?, and these MFEs can be explained by the relaxation mechanism. However, it was found that L-R^? affected the MFEs for this reaction in two ways: first, L-R^? reacted with the triplet MNQ through H abstraction and/or electron transfer, and second, the spin relaxation of the radical pair was enhanced through the spin-spin interactions of the individual radical with L-R^?.     

Magnetic field effect on electron transfer reactions of flavin derivatives associated with micelles

The magnetic field effects (MFEs) on the electron transfer reactions from indole derivatives to flavin derivatives in micellar solutions are studied. The MFEs on the free radical yields observed by transient absorption (TA) reflect effectively the association of the donor and acceptor molecules with the micelles. In the system of riboflavin and indole, the MFE increases rapidly with increasing concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) higher than the critical micellar concentration. In contrast, in the system of flavin mononucleotide and indole, the increase of MFE is very slow even at higher concentrations of SDS. This result shows that riboflavin is well associated with the SDS micelle and the diffusion process of the radical pair is restricted by the micellar cages. The MFE in the system of riboflavin and indole is twice as large as that of riboflavin and tryptophan. This result shows the difference of the dynamics of radicals in micelles. The escape rate of the cation radical generated from tryptophan is much faster than that generated from indole. The dependence of the MFEs on the type of surfactant is studied. The effect of the Coulomb force between the ionic reactant molecules and the charged head group of the surfactant and the effect of the molecular size are discussed by comparison of the MFE intensities.

FT-EPR study of photoionization in micellar solutions

Fourier Transform EPR (FT-EPR) was used to study the formation and decay of free radicals produced by photoionization of phenothiazine (PTH) solubilized in aqueous SDS and Triton X-100 micellar solutions in the absence and presence of electron acceptors. CIDEP spectra produced by PTH photoionization in micellar solution differ from those found in homogeneous solution. The effect is attributed to changes in relative importance of single-photon, singlet excited state, and biphotonic, triplet excited state, photoionization. With quinone acceptors present in the bulk aqueous phase, photoionization of PTH in SDS, results in instantaneous formation of quinone anion radicals that carry the spin polarization of the precursor hydrated electrons. If the acceptor is anchored in the micelle, electron capture cannot compete with electron escape into the aqueous phase. Instead, anion radicals are formed primarily by reductive quenching of³PTH*. This process gives rise to a spectrum that is attributed to long-lived spin-correlated radical pairs, [PTH⁺…Q^?].

New magnetic field effects observed in micellar and fluid solutions under ultrahigh fields of up to 30 T

With magnetic fields of up to 30 T, we have found the saturation and reversion of magnetic field effects (MFEs) on radical pair lifetimes and escape radical yields due to the relaxation mechanism for the photoreduction of carbonyl compounds in micellar solutions as well as the saturation of MFEs on the escape radical yield due to the Δg mechanism for the photoreduction of 4-methoxy-benzophenone with thiophenol in fluid solutions. We have also found large MFEs for several reactions involving three odd electrons in fluid solutions.     

Spectrofluorimetric Determination of Second Critical Micellar Concentration of SDS and SDS/Brij 30 Systems

Potentially useful stead-state fluorimetric technique was used to determine the critical micellar concentrations (CMC(1) and CMC(2)) for two micellar media, one formed by SDS and the other by SDS/Brij 30. A comparative study based on conductimetric and surfacial tension measurements suggests that the CMC(1) estimated by the fluorimetric method is lower than the value estimated by these other techniques. Equivalent values were observed for SDS micelles without Brij 30 neutral co-surfactant. The use of acridine orange as fluorescent probe permitted to determine both CMC(1) and CMC(2). Based on it an explanation on aspects of micelle formation mechanism is presented, particularly based on a spherical and a rod like structures.     

Observation and reaction control of a singlet born radical pair formed photochemically in an SDS micelle by pulsed microwave irradiation

The photochemical reaction of tetraphenylhydrazine in an SDS micellar solution is studied using a transient absorption detected magnetic resonance (ADMR) method. This system is photo-dissociated via the singlet excited state and forms a transient radical pair. Strong microwave irradiation of this system under an × band EPR magnetic field provides an ADMR spectrum of the singlet born radical pair as the optical absorbance change of the diphenylaminyl radical. The employment of a short duration microwave pulse that efficiently flips the electron spin quantum (Δm _s = 1) controls the reaction of the radical pair, and the reaction rate constant of this system is determined. Furthermore, changing the microwave duration shows the quantum beat of this system induced by the electromagnetic field. This beat signal carries both a single beat that corresponds to the Rabi frequency and a double-frequency beat that is due to simultaneous two-spin controlling.     

Magnetic Field Effect in the Reaction of Recombination of Nitric Oxide and Superoxide Anion

Using a static magnetic field, we observed an important biological radical, nitric oxide, in solution by a spin-sensitive technique. Decomposition of 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) in aqueous solution produces a radical pair consisting of nitric oxide and the superoxide anion which recombine to form peroxynitrite. The creation of this radical pair provides a favorable setting for the observation of magnetic field effects. Magnetic field effect of (1.8 ± 0.5)% on the yield of recombination was observed in a relatively high field of 4.7 T over the sampling of 96 samples. The effect is limited by extremely fast relaxation of nitric oxide in liquids due to unquenched orbital angular momentum, and develops in f-pairs via the Δg mechanism. Magnetic field effect due to a radical pair involving nitric oxide in a biological system would require either rather strong magnetic fields in the tesla range or an internal enhancer of magnetic field.     

Influence of high pulsed magnetic field on tensile properties of TC4 alloy

The tensile tests of TC4 alloy are carried on electronic universal testing machine in the synchronous presence of high pulsed magnetic field(HPMF) parallel to the axial direction.The effects of magnetic induction intensity(5 = 0,1 T,3 T,and 5 T) on elongation(5) of TC4 alloy are investigated.At 3 T,the elongation arrives at a maximum value of12.41%,which is enhanced by 23.98%in comparison with that of initial sample.The elongation curve shows that 3 T is a critical point.With B increasing,the volume fraction of α phase is enhanced from 49.7%to 55.9%,which demonstrates that the HPMF can induce the phase transformation from β phase to α phase.Furthermore,the magnetic field not only promotes the orientation preference of crystal plane along the slipping direction,but also has the effect on increasing the dislocation density.The dislocation density increases with the enhancement of magnetic induction intensity and the 3-T parameter is ascertained as a turning point from increase to decrease tendency.When B is larger than 3 T,the dislocation density decreases with the enhancement of B.The influence of magnetic field is analyzed on the basis of magneto-plasticity effect.The high magnetic field will enhance the dislocation strain energy and promote the state conversion of radical pair generated between the dislocation and obstacles from singlet into triplet state,in which is analyzed the phenomenon that the dislocation density is at an utmost with B = 3 T.Finally,the inevitability of optimized 3-T parameter is further discussed on a quantum scale.     

强磁场下NH4Cl水溶液结构的拉曼光谱研究

迄今为止,国内外存在很多关于强磁场处理对水溶液结构影响的争议,并且关于强磁场对无机盐水溶液结构的研究也相对较少。运用拉曼光谱法,测定了在外加强磁场1.8 T强度下,高纯水与质量分数分别为1%,5%,10%,20%和28%的NH₄Cl水溶液在不同磁化时间下的拉曼散射数据,为拉曼光谱法探究强磁场对水溶液结构的影响提供了一个新的可行方式,丰富了拉曼光谱的研究领域。由实验结果可知,随着磁化时间的增加,水分子中氢键的伸缩振动峰值逐渐升高,经过一定的磁化时间后可以达到饱和。高纯水与不同质量分数的NH₄Cl水溶液的饱和效应时间均不同。高纯水与质量分数为1%,5%,10%,20%和28%的NH₄Cl水溶液峰值饱和时间分别为150,120,120,100,80和80 min。随着NH₄Cl水溶液质量分数的增加,达到磁效应饱和的时间呈现减少的趋势。磁场移除后,测定高纯水与不同质量分数NH₄Cl水溶液的去磁记忆时间。高纯水与质量分数为1%,5%,10%,20%和28%的NH₄Cl水溶液的去磁记忆时间分别为30,40,50,60,80和80 min。随着NH₄Cl水溶液质量分数的增加,去磁记忆时间呈现增加的趋势。利用去卷积拟合的方法对磁化2 h后不同质量分数的NH₄Cl水溶液进行处理。由去卷积拟合结果可知,质量分数为20%的NH₄Cl水溶液比质量分数为10%的NH₄Cl水溶液增加了一个N-H峰,该信号峰随着NH₄Cl水溶液质量分数的增大逐渐增强。DDAA型氢键结构整体上随磁化时间增加而减少,磁化时间的增加对四面体水结构具有破坏作用。当达到饱和磁化时间后,DDAA型氢键不再发生变化。实验结果表明,通过拉曼光谱法可以得到1.8 T强磁场对NH₄Cl水溶液结构的影响规律,为外加强磁场条件下其他无机盐水溶液的研究提供了一定的理论基础。     

Control of a photoreaction by electron spin resonance (II): The effect of radical pair lifetime on the control efficiency

The magnetic-field and the microwave effects on the photoreactions of anthraquinone-2-sulfonate and anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid with xanthene were observed in an SDS micellar solution. The reaction products were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. With increasing the magnetic-field strength from the residual value to 400 mT, the yield of dixanthenyl, which is an “escape product”, increased considerably. Upon irradiating the system with a microwave (9400 MHz, 1.0 kW), however, the yield decreased almost to the minimum value at around 334 mT, where the intermediate radical pair becomes resonant with the microwave field. Therefore, we can detect the ESR spectrum of the transient radical pair by the product yield (product-yield-detected ESR or PYESR). In the present study, we observed a clear reversed microwave effect at the center of the PYESR spectrum, whose cause was attributed to “spin locking” of the radical pair by an intense microwave field. The microwave effects for the two systems were, different from each other in several respects including the extent of this spin locking effect in the product yield. The PYESR spectra were calculated by using a quantum mechanical method to discuss the relation between the microwave effect and the radical pair dynamics, the latter of which was also observed in the present study by the “pulse-PYESR” method.     

Low-temperature study of magnetic ordering in gadolinium orthophosphate

The zero-field heat capacity shows an antiferromagnetic ordering of Gd³⁺ in gadolinium orthophosphate at 0.8 K. The application of the external magnetic field leads to the splitting of the Gd³⁺ ground-state multiplet. The antiferromagnetic ordering becomes gradually suppressed with increasing field, and the loss of the long-range magnetic ordering with a threshold field between 0.2 and 0.5 T is indicated by heat-capacity data. Estimated entropy of the anomaly due to magnetic ordering or the Schottky-type anomaly (above 0.5 T) is close to Rln8 as expected for Gd³⁺ ground-state multiplet. Magnetization measurements above 2 K corroborate this magnetic behaviour.     

EPR Spin Probe Study of New Micellar Systems

Molecular dynamics, structure, and phase state of two new micellar systems were investigated using spin-probe electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. While the local mobility of the new cationic long-chain detergents varies in micelles in a minor way when the length of a chain increases from 16 to 22 carbon atoms, the order parameter increases noticeably. The latter is caused by gain of hydrophobic interactions. It is worthwhile to note that the incorporation of the two hydroxyl groups into the polar head group of the C22 detergent influences particularly on the molecular dynamics and phase state of an aqueous solution of the detergent. Furthermore, not only the local mobility decreases and ordering factor increases, but also the phase state of the system changes, being transited from the solid to the micellar (liquid) state. Addition of the KCl salt in an aqueous solution of the long-chain detergents results in a decrease of local mobility and increase of ordering factor. The phase transitions are found to be caused by the addition of the salt. The cationic monomer [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium methyl sulfate was shown to decrease the critical concentration of micelle formation of the anionic detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Most likely this is because, being the counterion, the cationic monomer forms a dense layer around the SDS micelle. Binding of SDS micelle with the monomer strongly reduces the local mobility of the detergent.

Fluorescence spectra of anthracene and pyrene in water and in aqueous surfactant solution

The fluorescence and excitation spectra of anthracene and pyrene have been measured in water and in aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and compared with the spectra in ethanol, for microcrystals and in a solution by the dilution method. The molecular spectra observed in water exhibit large broadenings and red-shifts due to the specific solvent effects of water. In aqueous SDS solution the spectra of anthracene are considerably broadened and red-shifted, suggesting the existence of the molecules near the micellar surface, while in the emission spectrum of pyrene remarkable intensity reductions of the vibronic bands have been observed, indicating a weak polarity of the environment in the SDS micelles.     

NOE Effect of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate in Monomeric and Micellar Systems by NMR Spectroscopy

This paper describes the particular nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in monomeric and micellar systems. Two-dimensional NOE spectroscopy nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of SDS in solution with concentration lower and higher than critical micellar concentration were recorded. In the first case diagonal and cross-peaks have different signs, and the opposite one was in the second case. This paper discusses theoretical background of this effect and we supposed that particular NOE can be used for inspection of SDS micelle formation during NMR researches. As a rough estimate of micelles formation an approach based on the difference between the chemical shifts in the monomer and micellar form of SDS was used.     

Macroscopic and microscopic structural integrity in magnetic colloids—cationic micellar solution: Rheology, SANS and magneto-optical study

A stable mixture of two colloid system composed of double surfactant coated aqueous nanomagnetic fluid and aqueous micellar solution of cationic micelles of cetyletrymethyl ammonium bromide (CTABr) is prepared as a function of nanomagnetic fluid concentration. This mixed system is analyzed using three techniques such as zero field and field induced viscosity measurements, Small Angle Neutron Scattering technique and magneto-optical birefringence measurements. In field induced viscosity measurement it is observed that even 20% magnetic fluid concentration in CTABr aqueous solution shows 75% increase in viscosity compared to pure magnetic fluid. This suggests that in presence of CTABr micelles, a novel magneto rheological effect for low concentration of magnetic fluid is observed. From SANS measurements it is observed that aggregation number and a/b ratio increases with magnetic fluid concentration and magnetic birefringence reveals non-superimpose behavior of normalized field induced retardation. Results of these experiments are compared and indicate zero fields and field induced structural integrity between magnetic particles and soft micelles.     

Density of states effective mass of n-type CuInSe2 from the temperature dependence of Hall coefficient in the activation regime

The Hall coefficient R_H of n-type CuInSe₂ single crystals is measured between 10 and 300 K in pulsed magnetic field up to 35 T. The threshold field B_th, above which the magnetic freezeout starts to occur, varies linearly with temperature. From the analysis of the temperature dependence of electron concentration in the activation regime above 100 K at different field values, it is established that the density of states effective mass is independent of the magnetic field B and the activation energy E_D, above around 6 T, varies as B^1/3. Similar B^1/3 dependence of the magnetoresistance in the high magnetic field regime, reported earlier in the same material, suggests that theoretical work that could explain this coincidence is needed.
