Study on the pressure induced charge transfer phase transition in (C5H11)4N(FeFe(C2O2S2)3) by means of μSR spectroscopy

We have investigated the magnetic properties of iron mixed-valence complexes, (n-C_nH_2n+1)₄N[Fe^IIFe^III(dto)₃] (dto = C₂O₂S₂, n = 3, 5), in which not only a ferromagnetic transition but also a novel charge transfer phase transition (CTPT) take place [1]. This CTPT can be observed under ambient pressure for n = 3, while it appears abruptly above 0.5 GPa for n = 5 [2]. Recently, we have measured the muon spin relaxation (μSR) for the CTPT of n = 3, which revealed the dynamical process of electron-transfer between Fe^II and Fe^III and its frequency was estimated at about 0.1 MHz [3]. To investigate the pressure induced CTPT for n = 5, we carried out the μSR measurement for n = 5 at 150 K between 0.30 and 0.64 GPa with the ⁴He gas-operated pressure system. The asymmetry of the muon spin relaxation for n = 5 with Cu-Be pressure cell was almost constant up to 0.55 GPa, while it rapidly decreased with increasing pressure above 0.60 GPa. This result shows that the applied pressure causes the spin fluctuation due to the CTPT, which induces the decrease of the asymmetry of muon spin relaxation. This experiment can correctly decide the phase transition pressure from the absence to the appearance of the CTPT for n = 5.     

Split injection: A simple introduction of subnanoliter sample volumes for chip electrophoresis

The ability to accurately inject small volumes of sample into microfluidic channels is of great importance in electrophoretic separations. While electrokinetic injection of nanoliter scale volumes is commonly utilized in microchip capillary electrophoresis (MCE), mobility and matrix bias makes quantitation difficult. Herein, we describe a new injection method based on the simple patterning of the crossing of channels that does not require sophisticated instrumentation. The sample volume injected into the separation channel is dependent on the ratio of the widths of the crossing channels. This injection method is capable of introducing, into a separation channel, multiple plugs of sample on a large scale. This injection technique is tested for zone electrophoresis in native and surface modified poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) chips.     

Hydration forces between bilayers in the presence of dissolved or surface-linked sugars

We analyse the experimental evidence of the hydration force near phospholipid bilayers when the “solvent” is a solution of carbohydrates. Two cases must be clearly distinguished: when sugar is dissolved, depletion causes a supplementary attractive force, while in the case of sugar linked to the lipid the contact pressure increases by orders of magnitude. Attractive interaction inferred between bilayers is sometimes derived from indirect evidence, i.e. scattering, attraction between layers adsorbed, shape of phase boundary limits, and without the simultaneous determination of the osmotic compressibility. Generally, water molecules in the first hydration shell of sugar compete with water molecules bound (by more than one kT in free energy) to lipid head-groups. A general result is that the decay length of any repulsive effect remains close to 0.2 nm, even in concentrated sugar solutions. A tentative general explanation of this experimental fact is given together with consequences, such as the possibility of several types of critical points appearing in bilayer stacks. Decay length as well as effective contact pressure is considered with respect to carbohydrate activity.     

Structural and electronic properties of type-I and type-VIII Ba8Ga16Sn30 clathrates under compression

The total energy and electronic structures for type-I (β phase) and type-VIII (α phase) Ba₈Ga₁₆Sn₃₀ clathrates under hydrostatic pressure have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It was found that the type-VIII phase is more stable than the type-I one at ambient conditions and that β→α phase transition can not occur under hydrostatic pressure. The band structures show that the type-I and type-VIII Ba₈Ga₁₆Sn₃₀ are indirect semiconductors with band gaps of 0.24 eV and 0.19 eV, respectively. The results suggested that type-I clathrate Ba₈Ga₁₆Sn₃₀ has a larger value of the thermoelectric (TE) power than that of type-VIII clathrate. We found that pressure tuning changes the k-point of conduction band minimum (CBM) in the Brillouin zone for β-phase, but it is not the case for α-phase. Furthermore, the results show that the pressure can change the interaction between guest atoms and the host lattice, and consequently results in the decrease of the band gap of β-phase and the increase of the band gap of α-phase, indicating that the pressure effect can play an important role in the magnitude of the TE power.     

Experimental line broadening and line shift coefficients of the acetylene ν1 + ν3 band pressurized by hydrogen and deuterium and comparison with calculations

Theoretical and experimental values have been determined for the pressure broadening of the ν₁ + ν₃ band of acetylene by hydrogen and deuterium at 195 K, and experimental values of the pressure shifts have been determined. Theoretical values have been calculated on the basis of a recent potential energy surface using the close coupling scheme. We discuss the detailed contribution of the various rotational angular momenta of the perturbing gas and the ortho and para contribution to the total pressure broadening cross-sections. We give routes to circumvent the computational cost of such calculations. Experimental values have been measured using a tunable diode laser spectrometer assuming a Voigt line shape. These pressure broadening parameters are compared with measurements performed recently at room temperature and with present measurements performed at 195 K in the ν₁ + ν₃ band of acetylene. A satisfactory agreement is obtained with the present results and available ones at 295 K.

Improved Self‐Energy Calculations for Pressure Broadening of Spectral Lines in Dense Plasmas

Pressure broadening of Lyman‐lines of hydrogen‐like lithium (Li²⁺) has been studied using a quantum statistical approach to the line shape in dense plasmas, for details see [1]. In this communication, we concentrate on the electronic self‐energy, which is a basic input to the theory of spectral line profiles. We discuss the effect of strong, i.e. close, collisions which have been neglected so far for Li²⁺ plasmas, but play generally an important role in dense plasmas, as has been shown in [2]. We present a method to calculate an improved electronic self‐energy including strong collisions based on a two‐body T‐matrix and an effective optical potential. The method is tested for level broadening of the ground state of hydrogen (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Surface oxidation of NiCo alloy: A comparative X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study in a wide pressure range

Oxidation of NiCo alloy has been studied under two pressure regimes, 5 × 10⁻¹⁰ and 5 × 10⁻¹ bar, by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The aim of this work is to investigate the synergetic effect between the two alloy components during the initial stages of oxidation. The results showed that at low oxygen pressure, segregation and preferential oxidation of cobalt takes place, while oxidation of nickel is largely suppressed. The species dominating the surface is CoO but small amount of metallic cobalt still remains even after prolonged oxidation at 670 K. At 0.5 bar O₂ pressure, alloy oxidation was found to be temperature depended. From 420 K to 520 K, cobalt is completely transformed to CoO and the Ni:Co atomic ratio at the surface approaches a minimum, similar to the observations at low pressure regime. However, at higher temperatures (from 520 K to 720 K), nickel is re-segregated on the surface, in the expense of cobalt, while CoO is further oxidized to Co₃O₄. At this temperature range formation of mixed Ni-Co-O spinel-like oxides is probable as supported by the characteristic modifications of the Ni 2p_3/2 photoelectron peak and the increase of the Ni:Co atomic ratio.
