Spectroscopy and Intensity Measurements of the 3nu(1)+3nu(3) Tetrad of (12)CO(2) and (13)CO(2)

Three of the four components of the 3nu(1)+3nu(3) tetrad of (12)C(16)O(2) and (13)C(16)O(2), labeled 30031, 30032, and 30033 in HITRAN notation, have been observed by intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy in the 10 450- to 11 000-cm(-1) region. The rotational analysis has yielded the rovibrational parameters of the vibrational states. The experimental values are found to be in very good agreement with the rovibrational energies recently predicted from variational calculations and reduced effective Hamiltonians. The absolute band intensity of these extremely weak transitions have been measured. The study of the relative intensities within the 3nu(1)+3nu(3) tetrad suggests that part of the oscillator strength is carried by the (22(0)3) state. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

Magneto-electrogyration in cubic Sr(NO3)2, Ba(NO3)2, and Pb(NO3)2

The simultaneous application of electric and magnetic fields on single crystals of Sr-, Ba-and Pb-dinitrate yields an additional term to the pure electrogyration and Faraday effect. The symmetric part of the fourth-rank tensor of this magneto-electrogyration has been completely determined with the aid of a high-resolution computer-aided polarimetric device. In Pb(NO₃)₂ a maximum magneto-electrogyration of about 10% of the magnitude of electrogyration is observed when a magnetic field of 1000 kA/m (1.2 Tesla) is applied along [111]. The effects in Sr(NO₃)₂ and Ba(NO₃)₂ are much smaller. Index of refraction, electrogyration, Faraday effect, and the new magneto-electrogyration obey the same sequence: Pb(NO₃)₂ > Ba(NO₃)₂ > Sr(NO₃)₂.     

Measurement of absolute cross sections for excitation of the 3s(2)3p(5) 2P(o)(3/2)- 3s(2)3p(5) 2P(o)(1/2) fine-structure transition in Fe9+

Experimental cross sections are reported for the 3s(2)3p(5) 2P(o)(3/2)- 3s(2)3p(5) 2P(o)(1/2) transition in Fe9+ located at 1.945 eV. The center-of-mass interaction energies are in the range of 1.72 eV (below threshold) through threshold, to 5.6 eV (2.9 x threshold). Data are compared with results of a 49-state Breit-Pauli R-matrix theory. The experiment detects structures at 3.5 and 4.6 eV corresponding to enhancement of the direct excitation via many narrow, closely spaced resonances about these energies calculated by the theory. Iron is present in practically every astrophysical object, as well as being an impurity in fusion plasmas. Present data are the first electron-energy-loss measurements on a highly charged iron ion.     

Oxygen diffusion studies on (Y2O3)2(Sc2O3)9(ZrO2)89

The oxygen tracer diffusion coefficient (D?) has been measured for 9 mol% scandia 2 mol% yttria co-doped zirconia solid solution, (Y₂O₃)₂(Sc₂O₃)₉(ZrO₂)₈₉, using isotopic exchange and line scanning by Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, as a function of temperature. The values of the tracer diffusion coefficient are in the range of 10^? 8–10^? 7 cm² s^? 1 and the Arrhenius activation energy was calculated to be 0.9 eV; both valid in the temperature range of 600–900 °C. Electrical conductivity measurements were carried out using 2-probe and 4-probe AC impedance spectroscopy, and a 4-point DC method at various temperatures. There is a good agreement between the measured tracer diffusion coefficients (D?, Ea = 0.9 eV) and the diffusion coefficients calculated from the DC total conductivity data (D_σ, Ea = 1.0 eV), the latter calculated using the Nernst–Einstein relationship.     

Fluorescence Excitation Spectrum of a (2)Pi(3/2)-(2)Pi(3/2) Transition of NiF

In this study, a supersonic beam of NiF was produced by the reaction of SF(6) with a dc discharge-sputtering source of nickel atoms. The laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectrum of a (2)Pi(3/2)-(2)Pi(3/2) transition has been recorded in the range of 500-520 nm and rotational structure of 506.5-nm band analyzed under the 30 K rotational temperature. Our data are consistent with a (2)Pi(3/2) ground state for NiF. The lifetime of this band is measured. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

Raman spectroscopic study of the mineral guilleminite Ba(UO2)3(SeO3)2(OH)4·3H2O

The Raman spectrum of the mineral guilleminite Ba[(UO₂)₃O₂(SeO₃)₂](H₂O)₃ was studied and complemented by the infrared spectrum of this mineral. Both spectra were interpreted and compared with the spectra of marthozite, larisaite, haynesite and piretite, all of which should have the same phosphuranylite anion sheet topology. The presence of symmetrically distinct water molecules and hydrogen bonds was inferred from the spectra. This is in agreement with the crystal structural analysis of guilleminite. U O bond lengths in uranyl and O H···O hydrogen bond lengths were calculated from the Raman and/or infrared spectra of guilleminite. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Analysis of the 1-v" Progression of the 3A Band System (c(3)Pi-a(3)Pi) in the (13)C(16)O Molecule Spectrum

The 1-0, 1-1, and 1-2 bands of the 3A system of (13)CO (c(3)Pi-a(3)Pi) have been recorded for the first time, in the form of discharge emission spectra photographed at high resolution. Preliminary rotational analysis suggests that the v = 1 level of the c(3)Pi state is perturbed in a fashion similar to the v = 0 level, previously observed by Dabrowski et al. (1987. I. Dabrowski, M. Vervolet, and D. C. Wang, Can. J. Phys. 65, 1171-1177). Rotational combination differences from the 1720 measured lines have been used to obtain rotational constants for the v = 0-2 levels of the a(3)Pi state, using the Hamiltonian of Brown et al. (1979. J. M. Brown, E. A. Calbourn, J. K. G. Watson, and F. D. Wayne, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 74, 294-318). and the least squares formalism of Curl and Dane (1988. J. Mol. Spectrosc. 128, 406-412), as modified by Watson (1989. J. Mol. Spectrosc. 138, 302-308). Term values for the c(3)Pi, v = 1 level have then been obtained from the line frequencies, and a set of effective rotational constants for the c(3)Pi (v = 1) level of (13)CO has been derived.

Electronic and magnetic properties of Ti(2)O(3), Cr(2)O(3), and Fe(2)O(3) calculated by the screened exchange hybrid density functional

The electronic and magnetic properties of the transition metal sesqui-oxides Cr(2)O(3), Ti(2)O(3), and Fe(2)O(3) have been calculated using the screened exchange (sX) hybrid density functional. This functional is found to give a band structure, bandgap, and magnetic moment in better agreement with experiment than the local density approximation (LDA) or the LDA+U methods. Ti(2)O(3) is found to be a spin-paired insulator with a bandgap of 0.22?eV in the Ti d orbitals. Cr(2)O(3) in its anti-ferromagnetic phase is an intermediate charge transfer Mott-Hubbard insulator with an indirect bandgap of 3.31?eV. Fe(2)O(3), with anti-ferromagnetic order, is found to be a wide bandgap charge transfer semiconductor with a 2.41?eV gap. Interestingly sX outperforms the HSE functional for the bandgaps of these oxides.

Molecular constants and a RKR potential energy curve were obtained. The major molecular constants are Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Experimental observation of the 1/3 magnetization plateau in the diamond-chain compound Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2

The magnetic susceptibility, high field magnetization, and specific heat measurements of Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2, which is a model substance for the frustrating diamond spin chain model, have been performed using single crystals. Two broad peaks are observed at around 20 and 5 K in both magnetic susceptibility and specific heat results. The magnetization curve has a clear plateau at one third of the saturation magnetization. The experimental results are examined in terms of theoretical expectations based on exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group methods. An origin of magnetic anisotropy is also discussed.     

TheSU(3) structure of the 3−/2 baryons

TheSU(3) structure of the 3^?/2 baryonsN ^*(1525),Ξ ^*(1820),Y ₁ ^* (1660),Y ₁ ^* (1715),Y ₀ ^* (1520) andY ₀ ^* (1700) is investigated on the hypothesis that they form a decupletoctet-singlet combination. Their branching ratios seem to be consistent with this picture. Mixing angles are determined, andΞ ^*(1820) is deduced to be mainly decuplet.
