Hyperfine interactions and lattice dynamics of the two dimeric forms of [FeCp(CO)2]2

The concept “dressed nucleus” is introduced to describe the interaction of a nucleus (in a static magnetic field) with a coherent radiation field at resonance with the Zeeman sublevels. The idea is to consider the global system as a one quantum system in the Schrödinger representation. It is shown that it is possible to associate to each nuclear Zeeman substate an infinite number of equidistant energy levels, each of them having a four-fold degeneracy when any interaction with the coherent field is neglected. This periodic energy scheme, which is the same for any nuclear Zeeman substate, is a consequence of the resonance condition and of the specific form of the coherent state of the radiation field. When the interaction is included the energy degeneracy is lifted and each level splits into (2I+1)² equidistant levels, where I is the spin of the free nuclear state. The energy difference between two adjacent levels is proportional to the square root of the mean photon number in the coherent state. When the global system decays spontaneously to a possible ground state a \gamma-photon is produced. Taking into account the selection rules 24 different \gamma-energies are possible for a nuclear M1 3/2→1/2 transition.     

Nuclear ground states dressed with rf photons in Mössbauer–Zeeman 57Fe spectroscopy

We have applied the “dressed” state concept, developed in quantum electronics, to the situation in which spin 1/2 ground-state nuclear levels are coupled by rf photons. In particular, we have studied Mössbauer spectroscopy when there is Zeeman splitting of the nuclear levels and a further interaction due to an applied rf-radiation field when the rf frequency is in the neighborhood of the ground-state splitting. The dressed-state approach treats the coupling of the ground nuclear Zeeman levels, due to a radio frequency field, by considering the total system made up of: nucleus, static magnetic field, and rf field as one global quantum system. The energy levels and corresponding eigenstates of the system are calculated as a function of the rf frequency and the magnitude of the rf magnetic flux density. Mössbauer spectra are calculated for the ⁵⁷Fe case in which the source is subjected to both the static and radiation fields while the absorber nuclear levels are unsplit.

     

The assignment of molecular infrared spectra from a laser magnetic resonance spectrometer

Mathematical techniques are presented which have proved useful in assigning the laser magnetic resonance pure-rotation spectrum of HO₂, i.e., useful in assigning an absorption spectrum obtained when molecular energy levels are Zeeman shifted by an external magnetic field until transition frequencies coincide with a fixed-frequency radiation source. The techniques described should have general applicability to the laser magnetic resonance vibration-rotation spectrum of any molecule in an orbitally nondegenerate electronic state and a doublet electronic spin state ($\text{S =}\text{1}\text{2}$). Equations involving both Zeeman line positions and Zeeman line intensities are presented. These allow the assignment of M_J quantum numbers, the determination of the spin-rotation interaction constant γ and rotational quantum number N for both the upper and the lower state, and the determination of the zero-field transition frequency. The equations can be used without prior knowledge of the molecular structure or energy levels.     

Semiclassical approach to resonance-optics polarization effects in coherent and squeezed fields

Equations are derived for the atomic density matrix and relaxation operator for a broadband squeezed field in an arbitrary polarization state and resonance atomic energy levels with an arbitrary degree of degeneracy. It is shown that suppression of the relaxation of the quadrature component of the atomic polarization depends strongly on the type of resonance transition and the polarization state of the squeezed and coherent perturbing fields. When the resonance levels are strongly degenerate, the relaxation of the quadrature component of the atomic polarization under conditions of maximum suppression is nonexponential in character. The mathematical apparatus developed here makes it possible to calculate polarization-related aspects of the multifrequency optical behavior of atomic and molecular systems resonantly excited both by coherent light and by broadband squeezed fields.

Optical pumping and population transfer of nuclear-spin states of caesium atoms in high magnetic fields

Nuclear-spin states of gaseous-state Cs atoms in the ground state are optically manipulated using a Ti:sapphire laser in a magnetic field of 1.516T, in which optical coupling of the nuclear-spin states is achieved through hyperfine interactions between electrons and nuclei. The steady-state population distribution in the hyperfine Zeeman sublevels of the ground state is detected by using a tunable diode laser. Furthermore, the state population transfer among the hyperfine Zeeman sublevels, which results from the collision-induced modification \delta a(\bm S \cdot \bm I) of the hyperfine interaction of Cs in the ground state due to stochastic collisions between Cs atoms and buffer-gas molecules, is studied at different buffer-gas pressures. The experimental results show that high-field optical pumping and the small change \delta a(\bm S \cdot \bm I) of the hyperfine interaction can strongly cause the state population transfer and spin-state interchange among the hyperfine Zeeman sublevels. The calculated results maybe explain the steady-state population in hyperfine Zeeman sublevels in terms of rates of optical-pumping, electron-spin flip, nuclear spin flip, and electron-nuclear spin flip-flop transitions among the hyperfine Zeeman sublevels of the ground state of Cs atoms. This method may be applied to the nuclear-spin-based solid-state quantum computation.     

Breaking parameter degeneracy in interacting dark energy models from observations

We study the interacting dark energy model with time varying dark energy equation of state. We examine the stability in the perturbation formalism and the degeneracy among the coupling between dark sectors, the time-dependent dark energy equation of state and dark matter abundance in the cosmic microwave background radiation. Further we discuss the possible ways to break such degeneracy by doing global fitting using the latest observational data and we get a tight constraint on the interaction between dark sectors.     

The influence of the orientation and strength of a magnetic field on the coherent population trapping in the Λ system

The influence of the orientation and strength of a magnetic field on the dynamics and dispersion of the populations of the multilevel Λ system upon spontaneous decay into thermostat levels is considered. The radiation field consists of two components and is specified by the vector-potential in the electric dipole approximation. From the solution of the Schödinger equation for a system consisting of an atom in a magnetic field + radiation field, the probability of populating a common level for the generalized Λ system is determined in the resonance approximation. The calculation of the dynamics and dispersion of the populations demonstrates their dependence on the orientation of the magnetic field vector with respect to the light field polarization vector and on the relationship between the magnetic field strength and radiation field intensities. The coherent population trapping occurs only in the case when Rabi frequencies either exceed or are comparable to the Zeeman splitting of magnetic sublevels. By varying the orientation of the magnetic field, it is possible to change the dynamics and dispersion of the populations, thus affecting the coherent population trapping.     

Spin edge states in two-dimensional electron systems in the presence of Zeeman effect

We study the spin edge states, induced by the combined effect of Bychkov-Rashba spinorbit and Zeeman interactions or of Dresselhaus spin-orbit and Zeeman interactions in a twodimensional electron system, exposed to a perpendicular quantizing magnetic field and restricted by a hard-wall confining potential. We derive an exact analytical formula for the dispersion relations of spin edge states and analyze their energy spectrum versus the momentum and the magnetic field. We calculate the average spin components and the average transverse position of electron. It is shown that by removing the spin degeneracy, spin-orbit interaction splits the spin edge states not only in the energy but also induces their spatial separation. Depending on the type of spin-orbit coupling and the principal quantum number, the Zeeman term in the combination with spin-orbit interaction increases or decreases essentially the splitting of bulk Landau levels while it has a weak influence on the spin edge states.     

NMRON Study of Magnetically Ordered (166m Ho)HoF3

A NMRON study of magnetically ordered HoF₃ using in-situ neutron activated ^166m Ho (I=7) isoelectronic probes in a spherical single crystal is presented. The optimal sensitivity to resonant change in the gamma-ray anisotropy of the 810 keV daughter gamma-ray emission has been utilised to track the lowest nuclear Zeeman substate resonance over an applied magnetic field range from 0.300 to 0.524 T, corresponding to the frequency range 1.56 to 1.78 GHz. The 2nd lowest substate resonance has also been observed at 0.3 T leading to a value P/h=−32.9(14) MHz for the ^166m Ho quadrupolar splitting which is consistent with predictions of a dominant negative pseudo-quadrupole interaction in this system. The Ho³⁺ electronic moment, in zero applied magnetic field, is projected to be 16% smaller than measured previously with neutron diffraction.

Magnetic resonance in systems with equivalent spin-1/2 nuclides. Part 1

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of S=1/2 systems XL(n) with n equivalent nuclei having spin I=1/2 have been simulated for microwave frequencies in the L-, X-, and W-bands. It has been shown that for n>2 nuclei, the EPR spectra have a more complicated form than anticipated from the usual oversimplified analysis, which predicts n+1 lines with intensity ratios given by the coefficients of the binomial expansion. For the XL(n) system with n=3, the EPR spectra in fact consist of six lines. The exact solution of the spin-hamiltonian for this case has been obtained, which gives four levels in zero magnetic field. For n>2 systems, the degeneracy of the energy levels cannot be completely removed by the Zeeman electronic and nuclear interactions. For n>4, certain spin states cannot occur, consistent with the (generalized) Pauli exclusion principle. Discussion of the underlying theory, invoking exchange degeneracy and the appropriate permutation group theory, is included in some detail. Analogous considerations hold for NMR spectroscopy of non-radicals.     

Detection of a hexadecapole interaction in the atomic ground state3 H 6 of167Er

Using the atomic beam magnetic resonance method, precision measurements of the hyperfine structure and Zeeman interactions have been performed in the ground state 4f ¹²6s ^{2 3} H ₆ of¹⁶⁷Er. The experimental data were analyzed using an effective operator parametrized in the space of states of the ground state multiplet. It yielded eight effective hyperfine structure and Zeeman interaction constants which served to calculate the seven hyperfine separations of the ground state. The results are: $$\begin{gathered} 2F 2F' v_{FF'} (MHz) \hfill \\ 5 7 - 354.371 9409 (27) \hfill \\ 7 9 - 2{\text{78}}{\text{.231}} {\text{8263(14)}} \hfill \\ {\text{9}} 11 - 69.050 7785 (4) \hfill \\ 11 13 + 302.735 3731(12) \hfill \\ 13 15 + 866.691 3871(10) \hfill \\ 15 17 + 1,652.383 5154 (6) \hfill \\ 17 19 + 2,689.380 8050(10) \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ From the effective Zeeman interaction constants it was possible to determine an improvedg _I -value, uncorrected for atomic diamagnetism: $$ g_I = + 0.086 775 (19) \cdot 10^{ - 3}$$ Furthermore a hexadecapole interaction corresponding to a diagonal hexadecapole interaction constant $$A_4 = - 16 (10) Hz$$ could be established which is of the order of magnitude expected from Coulomb excitation experiments as well as theoretical calculations.     

Transport spectroscopy of a single dopant in a gated silicon nanowire

We report on spectroscopy of a single dopant atom in silicon by resonant tunneling between source and drain of a gated nanowire etched from silicon on insulator. The electronic states of this dopant isolated in the channel appear as resonances in the low temperature conductance at energies below the conduction band edge. We observe the two possible charge states successively occupied by spin-up and spin-down electrons under magnetic field. The first resonance is consistent with the binding energy of the neutral D0 state of an arsenic donor. The second resonance shows a reduced charging energy due to the electrostatic coupling of the charged D- state with electrodes. Excited states and Zeeman splitting under magnetic field present large energies potentially useful to build atomic scale devices.     

Symmetry and optical transition rule for low-dimensional semiconductor system with spin–orbit interaction and magnetic field

Starting from effective mass Hamiltonian, we systematically investigate the symmetry of low-dimensional structures with spin–orbit interaction and transverse magnetic field. The position-dependent potentials are assumed to be space symmetric, which is ever-present in theory and experiment research. By group theory, we analyze degeneracy in different cases. Spin–orbit interaction makes the transition between Zeeman sub-levels possible, which is originally forbidden within dipole approximation. However, a transition rule given in this paper for the first time shows that the transition between some levels is forbidden for space symmetric potentials.     

Coherent repopulation of hyperfine structure levels in the field of a bichromatic resonant radio-frequency wave

We consider the resonant interaction between atoms with hyperfine energy levels and a bichromatic radio-frequency field. Nuclear Zeeman levels of an impurity center in a magnetic host form a structure of this kind. Using the spin-density-matrix formalism, we solve the problem of coherent repopulation of a system of three of these levels under the action of a bichromatic resonant radio-frequency wave, taking into account transverse relaxation, and note the connection between this effect and the well-known phenomenon of coherent population capture when a laser bichromatic field interacts resonantly with a three-level system. We discuss various possibilities for observation of this effect experimentally. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 111, 1236–1244 (April 1997)     

Quantum interference effects in a multidriven transition Fg=3←→Fe=2

We have theoretically and experimentally studied the quantum coherence effects of a degenerate transition Fg =3←→Fe=2 system interacting with a weak linearly polarized （with σ＋ components） probe light and a strong linearly polarized （with σ＋ components） coupling field. Due to the competition between the drive Rabi frequency and the Zeeman splitting, electromagnetically induced transparency （EIT） and electromagnetically induced absorption （EIA） are present at the different values of applied magnetic field in the case where the Zeeman splitting of excited state Δe is larger than the Zeeman splitting of ground state Δg （i.e.Δe 〉 Δg）.     

Effect of cavity dissipation on the emission spectrum of an atom interacting with a field in the dispersive approximation

The emission spectrum of a two-level atom interacting dispersively with a single mode radiation field in the dissipative cavity is investigated. A general expression for the emission spectrum is derived. The numerical results for the initial field in coherent state are calculated. It is found that the spectrum structure is influenced significantly by the cavity damping constant \kappa , and the spectrum structure is dependent on the interaction time T when the cavity dissipation is present. Only one peak located at Ω_a appears in the atomic spectra for larger T.

Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG)模型原本描述的是核物理系统,然而近年来,人们发现它广泛存在于凝聚态物理、量子信息、量子光学中,因此对其研究兴趣正在升温.本文采用精确对角化的方法以及量子微扰理论计算和分析了LMG模型在费米子数量为有限N时的能谱结构.在U(1)极限下给出它的能级精确解,发现其相互交错成渔网结构.而离开U(1)极限,系统的能级总是奇偶宇称成对地分组,形成束缚态,并且宇称会发生振荡,给出了宇称交叉点的临界塞曼场的位置.而达到Z2极限,系统能级则在零塞曼场附近形成劈裂,解析地计算了这些能隙与塞曼场之间关系,并发现对于奇数和偶数的N,各能态宇称的行为有所差别,具体而言,奇数N系统各态在零塞曼场处会发生宇称改变,而偶数N不会.     

Resonance internal conversion as a way of accelerating nuclear processes

A theory of resonance conversion (RC) is presented. It is shown that by resonance conversion being a natural extension of traditional internal conversion, into the subthreshold domain, in a number of cases, it strongly affects nuclear de-excitation. Moreover, as it concentrates transition strength in narrow bands corresponding to atomic spectral lines, it is a unique tool for accelerating nuclear processes. Along with the wellknown process of non-radiative nuclear excitation through electron NEET transition and the inverse RC process, resonance conversion provides convenient mathematics for a number of crossing-invariant processes involving a nucleus and electrons, excitation and de-excitation of nuclei, by a hyperfine magnetic field, spin mixing of nuclear states via an electron shell, a hyperfine interaction and magnetic anomalies in an atomic spectra, and the excitation of nuclei in collisions accompanied by the ionization of an electron shell, in muon decay in the orbit, etc. Mechanisms of isomer pumping via a laser-radiation-induced RC and of isomer energy triggering in a resonance laser radiation field are considered. An especially strong effect can be obtained in hydrogen-like ions, with practically no RC damping. The theory is also generalized to the case of discrete Auger transitions.     

The cumulative resonance in atomic ground state induced by modulated light field

The interaction of an atomic system with a light beam, intensity-modulated at the ground-state Zeeman frequency is analysed by the dressed-atom method. When the light field is resonant, this interaction produces a new type of degereracy of dressed-atom energy levels which is not of level crossing type. This gives rise to the cumulative resonance with a width depending on the light intensity.
