IR/UV double resonant spectroscopy of the methyl radical: determination of nu3 in the 3p(z) Rydberg state

IR+UV double resonant ion-dip and ion-enhancement spectroscopies are employed to study the nu3 asymmetric CH stretch vibration fundamental of CH3 in the ground and 3p(z) Rydberg electronic states. CH3 radical is synthesized in the supersonic jet expansion by flash pyrolysis of azomethane (CH3NNCH3) prior to the expansion. The Q band of the 3(1) (1) 3p(z)<--X transition of CH3, not detected by conventional UV resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy, is determined to lie at 59,898 cm(-1) using IR+UV REMPI spectroscopy. Energy of the asymmetric CH stretch of CH3 in the 3p(z) Rydberg state, nu3(3p(z)), is 3087 cm(-1), redshifted by approximately 74 cm(-1) with respect to ground state nu3(X).

Antenna length and polarization response of antenna-coupled MOM diode infrared detectors

This work focuses on the fabrication and response of dipole antenna-coupled metal–oxide–metal diode detectors to long-wave infrared radiation. The detectors are fabricated using a single electron beam lithography step and a shadow evaporation technique. The detector’s characteristics are presented, which include response as a function of incident infrared power and polarization angle. In addition, the effect of dipole antenna length on detection characteristics for 10.6 μm radiation has been measured to determine resonant lengths. The response of the detector shows a first resonance at a dipole length of 3.1 μm, a second resonance at 9.3 μm, and third at 15.5 μm. The zeros intermediate to the resonances are also evident.     

The relationship between frequency selectivity and pitch discrimination: sensorineural hearing loss

This study tested the relationship between frequency selectivity and the minimum spacing between harmonics necessary for accurate fo discrimination. Fundamental frequency difference limens (fo DLs) were measured for ten listeners with moderate sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and three normal-hearing listeners for sine- and random-phase harmonic complexes, bandpass filtered between 1500 and 3500 Hz, with fo's ranging from 75 to 500 Hz (or higher). All listeners showed a transition between small (good) fo DLs at high fo's and large (poor) fo DLs at low fo's, although the fo at which this transition occurred (fo,tr) varied across listeners. Three measures thought to reflect frequency selectivity were significantly correlated to both the fo,tr and the minimum fo DL achieved at high fo's: (1) the maximum fo for which fo DLs were phase dependent, (2) the maximum modulation frequency for which amplitude modulation and quasi-frequency modulation were discriminable, and (3) the equivalent rectangular bandwidth of the auditory filter, estimated using the notched-noise method. These results provide evidence of a relationship between fo discrimination performance and frequency selectivity in listeners with SNHL, supporting "spectral" and "spectro-temporal" theories of pitch perception that rely on sharp tuning in the auditory periphery to accurately extract fo information.     

Observation of muon neutrino disappearance with the MINOS detectors in the NuMI neutrino beam

This Letter reports results from the MINOS experiment based on its initial exposure to neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI beam. The rates and energy spectra of charged current nu(mu) interactions are compared in two detectors located along the beam axis at distances of 1 and 735 km. With 1.27 x 10(20) 120 GeV protons incident on the NuMI target, 215 events with energies below 30 GeV are observed at the Far Detector, compared to an expectation of 336+/-14 events. The data are consistent with nu(mu) disappearance via oscillations with |Delta(m)2/32|=2.74 +0.44/-0.26 x10(-3)eV(2) and sin(2)(2theta(23))>0.87 (68% C.L.).     

Applications of NMR to Pharmaceutical Technology

Introduction

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a spectroscopic technique well suited to determining the structure of molecules ranging from a few atoms to large proteins. The strength of NMR lies in its ability to distinguish and identify atoms on the basis of their chemical environment, and in determining the chemical bond and spatial relationship of those atoms. Thus, NMR is a powerful tool for the identification of molecules, especially those of an organic nature. In addition, NMR has quantitative applications valuable to pharmaceutical analysis.     

Damage and lattice location studies in Hg implanted Hg1–xCdxTe

Abstract

Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and ion induced X-ray (PIXE) channeling experiments have been used to study the damage accompanying Hg and Al implantations into Hg_0.8Cd_0.2 Te and its annealing as well as to determine the location of Hg in the crystal.

The damage induced by the implantation of 300 keV Hg and 250 keV Al ions at room temperature was found from RBS channeling studies to reach a saturation level at doses of 1 × 10¹⁴ cm^?2 and 3 × 10¹⁴ cm^?2 respectively. The damage resembles that characteristic for extended defects and it anneals at ≈ 300°C.

The location of the constituents of Hg implanted Hg_0.8 Cd_0.2 Te was studied by PIXE channeling observing the characteristic X-rays for each element. Angular scans indicate that the channels are mostly blocked by Hg atoms for both unannealed and, to a lesser extent, annealed crystals. This observation supports the suggestion that interstitial Hg atoms may be responsible for the conductivity of Hg implanted Hg_1–x Cd_g Te.
