Die Erzeugung von negativen polarisierten Deuteriumionen aus metastabilen Deuteriumatomen im 2S 1/2-Zustand

An experimental method to produce polarized negative hydrogen ions is discussed and compared with other methods. The method makes use of the different lifetimes of the metastable 2S 1/2 state and the 2P 1/2 state of the hydrogen atom. Polarized ion beams are obtained by using a selective quenching process followed by selective ionisation. Experimental results are given for the intensity and polarization of the polarized negative ion beam of deuterons. These results were obtained as a function of the quenching-field, the magnetic field in the argon-cell and the density of argon and cesium. The yield of negative ions can be expressed by the cross sections for the different charge exchange reactions in argon. The measured tensorpolarisationP ₃₃ can be interpreted as a function of the cross sections, the argon-density and the magnetic field along the beam axis. Beams of 50 nA intensity were produced with a polarization ofP ³³=?0.250±0.006. The main advantage of this method is a low beam emittance, values of 0.7 cm rad eV^1/2 were achieved. The production of a polarized positive deuteron beam seems to be possible.     

Profil und Äquivalentbreite der Na-D 1-Linie als Funktion von Temperatur und Magnetfeld

Because of the anomalous Zeeman-effect and the Paschen-Back-effect of the hyperfinestructure and theL-S-decoupling, the line profil and also the equivalent width of resonance lines is greatly influenced by an external magnetic field. The decoupling effects in the fine- and the hyperfinestructure of the Na-D ₁-line as an example will be determined quantum-mechanically by a second order perturbation, and it will be shown, how the line contour and the equivalent width are varied by temperature, magnetic induction and optical depth. There are certain regions of temperature and optical depth, where the hyperfinestructure may be accounted for approximately by the so called method of quadratic momentum.     

Hyperfine structure of 5d 2 D 3/2 135,137Ba ions by collinear fast beam laser-rf double resonance spectroscopy

The hyperfine structure of the metastable 5d ² D _3/2 state has been measured with high precision by collinear laser-rf double resonance spectroscopy on fast^135,137Ba ion beams. The present data are about 100 times more accurate than those obtained by classical fast beam laser spectroscopy.     

NMR Mössbauer double resonance in tantalum

Absorption spectra of Mössbauer ¹⁸¹Ta¹(W) radiation in tantalum have been measured with the source placed in a static magnetic field H_O ≈ 3400 Oe with a rf magnetic field resonant with respect to the frequency of the excited state 3 MHz with amplitude of 300 and 360 Oe, a rf field of 4 MHz with an amplitude of 300 Oe and without rf field. The dramatic change of the spectrum in the resonant field of 300 and 360 Oe, consistent with the theoretical prediction, is evidence for the observation of the NMR Mössbauer double resonance.     

Small-angle neutron spin-flip scattering in ferromagnetic films

This paper reports on the results of reflectometric measurements of anisotropic (Co₆₇Fe₃₁V₂) and almost isotropic (Fe) films prepared by magnetron sputtering. Nonspecular reflections and the corresponding peaks of the intensities of refracted neutrons have been observed for the alloy samples in magnetic fields H ≤ 7 Oe applied in the film plane along the easy magnetization axis. For iron films, angular splitting of the reflected neutron beam becomes observable only at H > 100 Oe and increases with an increase in the magnetic field. A general scheme has been proposed for this small-angle scattering with allowance made for different variants of changes in the Zeeman energy of neutrons. This scheme has allowed us to identify the magnetic structures of Co-Fe films. The magnetization of 0.15-μm-thick films with uniaxial and unidirectional textures leads to the formation of unidirectional textures characterized by different intensity distributions, for which the qualitative differences are retained with an increase in the magnetic field from 7 to 800 Oe. It has been revealed that, for 2.5-μm-thick films with the initial unidirectional texture, the oppositely magnetized states are nonequivalent.     

A new method for the production of atomic beams of highly refractory elements and first atomic beam magnetic resonances in Ta181

A new universal method for the production of atomic beams of highly refractory elements has been developed. The beams of free atoms are produced by locally heating a small area on a target consisting of the material to be evaporated. The local heating is achieved via the focussed electron beam of a commercial electron gun. The atomic beams so obtained are suitable for studying hyperfine structures by the atomic beam magnetic resonance method. The first observedrf resonances in the ground state⁴ F _3/2 and the first excited state⁴ F _5/2 of Ta¹⁸¹ are reported.     

Heat generation of aqueously dispersed CoFe2O4 nanoparticles as heating agents for magnetically activated drug delivery and hyperthermia

Self-heating from magnetic nanoparticles under AC magnetic field can be used either for hyperthermia or to trigger the release of an anti-cancer drug, using thermo-responsive polymers. The heat generated by applying an AC magnetic field depends on the properties of magnetic nanoparticles (composition, size, crystal structure) as well as the frequency and amplitude of the magnetic field. Before these systems can be efficiently applied for in vitro or in vivo studies, a thorough analysis of the magnetically induced heating is required. In this study, CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles were synthesized, dispersed in water, and investigated as heating agents for magnetic thermo-drug delivery and hyperthermia. The temperature profiles and infrared (IR) camera images of heat generation of CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles under various AC magnetic fields of 127–700 Oe at 195, 231, and 266 kHz were measured using an IR thermacam, excluding the external AC magnetic field interruption. The CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles were successfully dispersed in water using an 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid ligand exchange method to exchange the solvent used for synthesis of hexane for water. During the heating experiments, each of CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticle solutions reached a steady state where the temperature rose between 0.1 and 42.9 °C above ambient conditions when a magnetic field of 127–634 Oe was applied at 231 or 266 kHz. The heat generation was found to be dependent on the intensity of AC magnetic field and applied frequency. Therefore, the desired heating for magnetically triggered drug delivery or hyperthermia could be achieved in water-dispersed CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles by adjusting the AC magnetic field and frequency.     

Magnetic order in an MnF2 epitaxial layer with the orthorhombic structure

The magnetic structure of MnF₂ is determined by the neutron diffraction method in the metastable orthorhombic phase grown in the form of thin (～1 μm) film on a CaF₂ buffer layer by the molecular beam epitaxy method. The magnetic moments of Mn⁺⁺ form a simple two-sublattice antiferromagnetic structure and are directed along the c crystallographic axis parallel to the film plane. Using the temperature dependence of magnetic reflections, a Néel temperature of 67.19(7) K and a critical index of 0.50(2), which corresponds to the mean field approximation, are determined.     

Frequency modulation of the 6.2 keV Mössbauer states of181Ta

Mössbauer sidebands up to the first order from a single parent line have been produced by subjecting a non magnetic W(¹⁸¹W) Mössbauer source to a strong oscillating magnetic field of up to 230 Oe amplitude and a frequency of about one megahertz. The sidebands positions and intensities agree very well with theory, which is based on a periodic time-dependent interaction of the magnetic field with the nuclear magnetic moments of ground and excited states, respectively. From the sideband intensity ag-factor ratio ofg _e /g _g =1.75(6) was derived.     

Superconducting Properties of Indium Nanostructured in Pores of Thin Films of SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Microspheres

Samples of a superconducting indium nanocomposite based on a thin-film porous dielectric matrix prepared by the Langmuir–Blodgett method are obtained for the first time, and their low-temperature electrophysical and magnetic properties are studied. Films with thickness b ≤ 5 μm were made from silicon dioxide spheres with diameter D = 200 and 250 nm; indium was introduced into the pores of the films from the melt at a pressure of P ≤ 5 kbar. Thus, a three-dimensional weakly ordered structure of indium nanogranules was created in the pores, forming a continuous current-conducting grid. Measurements of the temperature and magnetic field dependences of the resistance and magnetic moment of the samples showed an increase in the critical parameters of the superconductivity state of nanostructured indium (critical temperature T_c ≤ 3.62 K and critical magnetic field H_c at T = 0 K H_c(0) ≤ 1700 Oe) with respect to the massive material (T_c = 3.41 K, H_c(0) = 280 Oe). In the dependence of the resistance on temperature and the magnetic field, a step transition to the superconductivity state associated with the nanocomposite structure was observed. A pronounced hysteresis M(H) is observed in the dependence of the magnetic moment M of the nanocomposite on the magnetic field at T < T_c, caused by the multiply connected structure of the current-conducting indium grid. The results obtained are interpreted taking into account the dimensional dependence of the superconducting characteristics of the nanocomposite.     

Numerical simulation of wall dynamics in (111)-oriented garnet films in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field

The domain wall motion in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field H_y perpendicular to the wall is simulated using a fall implicit numerical scheme. Calculations are performed for the drive fields 0 Oe<H_z<15 Oe and in-plane fields -210 Oe?H_y?210 Oe. The relation between the average wall velocity $\text{v}$ and the drive field H_z is discussed considering the wall structure. It was found that an in-plane field increases the peak velocity of the wall and extends the range of the drive fields, where the linear mobility relation is valid. A dynamical Bloch line stacking was found for sufficiently large drives. The influence of an in-plane field on the angular span of horizontal Bloch lines is discussed also. In particular the occurrence of 2π-horizontal Bloch lines is described. Numerical results obtained with a full implicit method are compared with the experimental observations of bubble motion and good agreement is found for |H_y|≤100 Oe.     

Generation of electron beams in a multicathode secondary-emission source

A study is made of the generation of electron beams in a system consisting of eight secondary-emission cathodes arranged at regular intervals in the azimuthal direction inside a coaxial cylindrical anode in crossed electric and magnetic fields. In this system with an azimuthally nonuniform electric field, secondary-emission multiplication of electrons is realized and beam generation is achieved. With a cathode voltage of ∼37 kV and a magnetic field of ∼3000 Oe, the total current of all the beams amounts to ∼35 A, the microperveance of each beam being ∼0.7 μA/V^3/2.     

Spin-lattice relaxation in solid 3He in weak magnetic fields

Spin-lattice relaxation times T ₁ were measured for solid ³He at temperatures of 0.22 to 0.73 K in a 44-Oe magnetic field. An increase in T ₁ at temperatures higher than approximately 0.4 K was related to switching on the vacancy mechanism of atomic mobility in the crystal. At a melting curve minimum, in the region of predominance of exchange motions of atoms in the crystal, measurements of T ₁ were performed in magnetic fields of 2 to 71 Oe. The data obtained in fields higher than 5 Oe were in agreement with the Cowan-Fardis theory.     

Die Abhängigkeit innerer und äußerer Wechselwirkungen des TlF-Moleküls von der Schwingung,Rotation und Isotopie

The hyperfinestructure, Stark effekt and Zeeman effect of the TlF molecule have been measured with a molecular beam resonance apparatus. The apparatus uses electric four poles as deflecting fields and a homogeneous electric field parallel to a super-imposed magnetic field in the transition region. Electric dipole transitions withΔm _J =±1,ΔJ=0 (J rotational quantum number) were measured in the following (v, J) states (v vibrational quantum number): (0,1), (1,1), (2,1) and (0,2) of the molecule²⁰⁵Tl¹⁹F and (0,1) of the molecule²⁰³Tl¹⁹F. For these five states the following interaction constants were determined: The magnetic (and the electric) dipolemoment of the molecule, the scalar and the tensor nuclear dipole-dipole interaction, the nuclear spin-rotational interactions, the anisotropy of the diamagnetic susceptibility ξ_⊥?ξ_∥, the anisotropy of the diamagnetic shielding of the external field by the electrons at the position of the nuclei σ_⊥?σ_∥. From these quantities it was possible to calculate the quadrupole-moment of the electronic charge distribution. Furthermore, the dependence of the ratio of the isotopic electric dipolemoments on vibrational state was measured. A new method for determining the nuclear magnetic moments is described. The method consists of a molecular beam resonance apparatus with combined magnetic and electric transition fields and was used to measure the magnetic moments of the nuclei²⁰⁵Tl and¹⁹F. — On page 293 will be found a table of results.     

Precision spectroscopy of metastable hydrogen and antihydrogen with a Lamb-shift polarimeter

A spinfilter, the most important component of a Lamb-shift polarimeter, can be used to produce a beam of metastable hydrogen (deuterium) atoms in one hyperfine state (α1, α2 and together with the Sona transition β3). As function of a magnetic field separated transitions between the 2S _1/2 metastable hyperfine states seem to be observable as well as single transitions into the short-lived 2P _1/2 and 2P _3/2 states. The Breit-Rabi diagrams for these states can be measured with good precision. Furthermore, the hyperfine splittings and the Lamb shift can be observed as well. Application of this method to anti-hydrogen atoms are suggested.     

Interrelationship between the polarization moments of different parity upon optical pumping of atoms under magnetic resonance conditions: III. Comparison of theory with experiment

The optical pumping of Cs atoms with light of the D ₁ line under magnetic resonance conditions is numerically calculated. This calculation is done to check the suggestion that an unexpectedly strong influence of the polarization of the pumping light on the resonance signals of transverse alignment, which we observed experimentally, is caused by the coupling between orientation and alignment by means of the magnetic field and/or the pumping light. This suggestion has been confirmed: upon circularly polarized pumping, the shape of the signal line of transverse alignment proved to be similar, as well as in the experiment, to the shape of the signal line of transverse orientation and was sharply different from the shape of the line of alignment observed upon linearly polarized pumping. For metastable 2³ S ₁ ⁴He atoms, in accordance with the experimental data, the calculated shape of the signal line of transverse alignment is found to be independent of the polarization of the pumping light. The calculations also confirm the possibility of a reverse effect: the influence of alignment on orientation, which manifests itself in the occurrence of orientation upon pumping with unpolarized light under magnetic resonance conditions. For Cs atoms exposed to a field of ～0.6 Oe, the largest contribution to this effect is yielded by the field coupling of orientation and alignment, whereas, for metastable 2³ S ₁ ⁴He atoms, the largest contribution is made by the light coupling of these polarization moments.     

Velocity dependence of the chemi-ionization of H2O and D2O on impact of 21S and 23S helium atoms

The velocity dependence for the ionization of H₂O and D₂O to form H₂O⁺ and D₂O⁺ in collisions with both 2³S and 2¹S metastable helium atoms has been measured in a crossed molecular beam apparatus using a mechanical velocity-selector on the metastable beam. The cross-sections are found to be proportional to the —n power of the relative collision energy, with n ? 0.4 for both metastable atoms in both gases. The branching ratios H₂O⁺/OH⁺ and D₂O⁺/OD⁺ were both found to be 4.3 for both metastable helium atoms, and to be independent of the relative collision energy.     

The influence of a demagnetizing field on hysteresis losses in a dense assembly of superparamagnetic nanoparticles

The electrodynamic method is used to measure the hysteresis losses of a dense assembly of magnetite nanoparticles with an average diameter D=25 nm in the frequency range f=10–150 kHz and for magnetic field amplitudes H₀=100–300 Oe. It is found that the specific loss power is determined by a demagnetizing factor of a whole sample. It diminishes approximately 4.5 times when the sample aspect ratio decreases from L/d=11.4 to L/d≈1, where L and d are the sample length and diameter, respectively. For H₀≤300 Oe the maximal specific loss power 120 W/g is obtained for the sample with L/d=11.4 at f=120 kHz. For comparison, the assembly specific absorption rate has been determined also by means of direct measurement of the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of a flat cuvette containing magnetic nanoparticles. For both methods of measurement close values for the specific absorption rate are obtained for samples with similar demagnetizing factors.     

Doppelresonanzuntersuchung des Einflusses eines elektrischen Feldes auf die Zeeman-Aufspaltung des 5s 5p 3P1-Terms im SrI-Spektrum

Under the simultaneous action of external electric and magnetic fields the 5s 5p ³ P ₁-level of the even Sr-isotopes splits into three non-equidistant Zeeman-sublevels. In an atomic beam experiment the spacings between the sublevels were investigated by the double resonance method at a magnetic field strength of ca. 22 Oe and at electric field strengths up to ca. 17 kV/cm. From the r.f.-resonance signals the tensor polarizability of the 5s 5p ³ P ₁-level was deduced to be α_ten(³ P ₁)=6.1(8) kHz/(kV/cm)². This value may be used to get an estimate of the oscillator strength of the infrared transitions between the multiplets 5s 5p ³P and 5s 4d ³ D. Taking into account oscillator strengths of electric dipole transitions to other low lying levels one obtainsf(³ P→³ D)≈0.09.     

Transient energy transfer during hologram formation in LiNbO3 in external electric field

Volume phase hologram recording in pure LiNbO₃ crystals with applied electric field E ≈ 5 kV/cm is accompanied by considerable intensity redistribution of the writing beams by transient energy transfer. Practically the whole intensity of the donor beam may be transferred into the weak acceptor beam with initial intensity 3% from total incident intensity. This effect originates from transient phase mismatch of the recorded phase grating and fringe pattern in the applied electric field when the interacting beams have different intensities.
