The millimeter and submillimeter rotational spectrum of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone

Recent detection of the 2C sugar glycolaldehyde in the Sgr B2(N-LMH) hot core source as well as the presence of several sugars and other polyhydroxylated species in the Murchison meteorite have led to interest in observational searches for higher order sugars in the interstellar medium. 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone, the simplest 3C sugar, is one of the species detected in Murchison and is of considerable importance for observational searches as the next step in complexity for interstellar sugars. However, little spectroscopic information is available for this molecule. We present here the Doppler-limited rotational spectrum of 1,3-dihyroxyacetone to 450 GHz. Assignments include the ground state up to J=104 and four additional vibrational states. Standard rotational and quartic centrifugal distortion constants have been determined for each of these states.

Spontaneous-emission spectrum in a cavity: Doublet or triplet?

Summary The Green’s functions formalism together with the new algorithm in operating with ζ-functions has been used to obtain the three-peaked spectrum of spontaneous emission of an atom in a weakly damped cavity. The single-peaked spectrum and exponential decay law with the short (τ_s ~ 1/Γ _c) and long (τ₁ ~Γ _c/g ²) decay times have been shown to exist in the strongly damped cavity with its passive linewidthΓ _c.     

Singlet–triplet oscillations and far-infrared spectrum of four-minima quantum-dot molecule

We study ground states and far-infrared spectra (FIR) of two electrons in four-minima quantum-dot molecule in magnetic field by exact diagonalization. Ground states consist of altering singlet and triplet states, whose frequency, as a function of magnetic field, increases with increasing dot–dot separation. When the Zeeman energy is included, only the two first singlet states remain as ground states. In the FIR spectra, we observe discontinuities due to crossing ground states. Non-circular symmetry induces anticrossings, and also an additional mode above ω₊ in the spin-triplet spectrum. In particular, we conclude that electron–electron interactions cause only minor changes to the FIR spectra and deviations from the Kohn modes result from the low-symmetry confinement potential.     

Time evolution of the ODMR spectrum of an X-Trap triplet in Biphenyl-TCNB crystal

Time decay of the ODMR signals obtained from light irradiated Biphenyl-TCNB crystals has been analyzed varying temperature and microwave power. New information are obtained on the triplet X-trap produced by illumination. It is also shown that time decay measurements are able to evidence in a simple way the cases in which the triplet is born in a non-stationary state.     

The rotational spectrum of HC8N, a linear molecule with a triplet ground state

By means of Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy of a supersonic molecular beam, we report here the laboratory detection of HC₈N, a carbon chain with a triplet electronic ground state. A total of 71 hyperfine components from six rotational transitions between 8 and 13 GHz were measured to an uncertainty of 5 kHz or better. Eight spectroscopic constants, including six fine and hyperfine coupling constants, were determined to high accuracy, despite a complex spectrum which consists of many closely spaced lines. Like the shorter HC_2nN chains, the linear triplet isomer detected here is highly polar and is almost certainly the ground state of HC₈N; in our molecular beam discharge source, it is 10 times less abundant than triplet HC₆N, but more than 100 times less abundant than the well-studied closed-shell cyanopolyyne HC₇N. Owing to the collapse of the hyperfine structure with increasing chain length, still longer chains may be detectable.     

Electron paramagnetic resonance study of irradiated tetramethyl-4-piperidion

The electron paramagnetic resonance of single crystals of tetramethyl-4-piperidion (TMP; C₉H₁₉NO) has been observed and analysed for different orientations of the crystal in the magnetic field, after being damaged at 300 K by γ-irradiation. The crystals have been investigated between 100 and 450 K. The spectra were found to be temperature dependent. The irradiation of TMP by γ-rays produces radicals at the nitrogen atoms in the molecule. The principal values of the hyperfine coupling tensor of the unpaired electron and the principal values of the g-tensor were determined. The results were found to be in good agreement with the existing literature data and theoretical predictions.     

IR spectrum and localization of excitation of reaction center of photosystem II in triplet state

Using the density functional theory, vibrations of different model forms of the chlorophyll a molecule in the ground and triplet states have been calculated. The assignment of the experimental difference IR spectrum corresponding to the formation of the triplet state of the photosynthetic reaction center of photosystem II has been proposed on this basis. It has been shown that molecules of accessory chlorophyll B _A and B _B located between the special pair and H _A and H _B pheophytin molecules can be involved in the intermolecular hydrogen bond with the water molecule. The energy of this interaction in the triplet state of molecules for B _A is larger on 6 kcal/mol. This allows us to relate this pigment to the location of the triplet excitation at the reaction center of photosystem II.     

The lowest triplet state of Zn porphin

The dynamics of populating and depopulating the phosphorescent triplet state of Zn porphin in an n-octane matrix is investigated by microwave induced delayed phosphorescence experiments at 1·2K. Values for the absolute rates of decay of the three spin levels are given and also the relative steady-state populations, radiative decay rates and probabilities for entry through intersystem crossing. Further, it is established that the phosphorescence is inplane polarized. The results are compatible with the decay modes expected for a lowest vibronic state that deviates from D ₄ symmetry by combined action of the Jahn-Teller effect and crystal field anisotropy.     

The line shapes of a tumbling triplet

The line shapes of a triplet spin system which interacts simultaneously with the molecular environment and with an externally applied field depend on the relative strengths of these interactions and on the motion of the molecule relative to the laboratory. In this paper line shapes are reported for zero, low, intermediate and strong applied fields, assuming that the molecular motion is due to strong collisions and that the tumbling rate is slow or intermediate.     

Influence of triplet states on the spectrum of collective spin-polaron excitations in a 2D kondo lattice

The normal and superconducting phases of the ensemble of spin polarons in a two-dimensional Kondo lattice have been considered under the conditions when the hopping integral is comparable to the s-d exchange interaction energy. The polaron excitation spectrum and the superconducting transition temperature have been found taking into account upper triplet states. The change in the concentration dependence of the critical temperature of the transition to the superconducting phase with the relation between the hopping integral and the integral of the s-d exchange coupling has been analyzed.     

The A = 6 isobaric triplet

A three-body model and phenomenological local potentials are used to study the A = 6 isobaric triplet. The α-nucleon potential allows an unphysical bound s-state, the effects of which are removed by an orthogonality condition. A variational method is used, and trial functions are found which allow the analytic evaluation of all required integrals. A number of different phenomenological Nucleon-nucleon potentials are used, and it is found that while the absolute energy levels are only approximately correct, the level splitting is very close to experimental values.     

The hierarchy problem in the scalar triplet model

We investigate the possibility of maintaining the hierarchy of the gauge and lepton number symmetry breakdown in the context of the Gelmini-Roncadelli model of electroweak interactions. Calculating the effective potential in the one-loop approximation, we find the additional constraints one must impose on the scalar self-couplings to protect the tree level hierarchy from dangerous radiative corrections.     

The effect of triplet quenchers on vapor-phase dye-laser performance

An XeF pumped vapor phase POPOP dye laser with a pulse duration of 300 ns was obtained when trans-stilbene was used as triplet quencher. An energy conversion efficiency of 7,5% with a peak power efficiency of 12% was measured.     

The lowest singlet and triplet excited states of pyrazine

The phosphoresence, fluorescence and absorption spectra of pyrazine-h₄ and -d₄ have been obtained at 4°K in a benzene matrix. For comparison, those of the isotopically mixed crystal pyrazine-h₄ in d₄ were also taken. All these spectra show extremely sharp and well-resolved lines and reveal detailed vibronic structure.The coincidence of origins of absorption and emission shows that the lowest singlet state is an allowed transition, properly designated as ${}^1\text{B}{}_{\mathrm{3u}}\text{←}{}^1\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{1g}}$. The forbidden component ¹B_2g, predicted by both “exciton” and MO theories to be below the allowed component, must lie higher. Its exact location still remains uncertain.The phosphorescence spectrum, when compared with the singlet-triplet excitation spectrum, indicates that the lowest triplet state is also symmetry allowed, showing a strong 0-0 band and the coincidence of origins of absorption and emission. In accordance with previous work, the triplet state is designated as ³B_3u.The vibronic structure of the phosphorescence spectrum is very complicated. The first work on the analysis of this spectrum concluded that a simple progression of ν_6a exists. Under the high resolution attainable in the present experiments, the supposed ν_6a progression proves to have a composite structure, starting from the second member of the progression. Not only is the ν_9a hydrogen-bending mode present as shown by the appearance of the CD bending mode in the d₄ spectrum, but a band assigned as 2ν_6b was also identified. The latter's anomalous intensity in the phosphorescence spectrum is interpreted as due to the Fermi resonance with 2ν_6a and ν_9a bands. To help resolve the present controversy over the origin of the phosphoresence spectrum observed in crystalline pyrazine, detailed vibrational analyses of the emission spectra were made. The fluorescence spectrum has essentially the same vibronic structure as the phosphorescence spectrum.     

Superconductivity of triplet bipolarons

Superconductivity of triplet bipolarons has been investigated in a phase analogous to the superfluid A-phase of ³He by use of the broken-symmetry Hartree approximation. The transition temperature T_c, the chemical potential and the order-parameters have been obtained, and the specific heat and the thermodynamic critical field have also been calculated. It has been found that there exist two energy gaps in the superconducting state. In the normal phase there also exists a gap, whose magnitude is consistent with the recent experimental evidence of the heavy-fermion superconductor (HFS), UPt₃. Temperature dependence of the critical field of another HFS UBe₁₃, which is not yet understood, can also be qualitatively accounted for by this model. These show the possibility that triplet bipolarons might be formed in the HFSs.
