The J = 2 ortho levels of the v = 0 to 6 np singlet Rydberg series of molecular hydrogen revisited

The energies of the J = 2 ortho levels of the v = 0 to 6 Rydberg np singlet series of molecular hydrogen with absolute intensities of the R(1) and P(3) absorption lines were measured by a high-resolution synchrotron radiation experiment and calculated through a full ab initio multi-channel quantum defect approach.     

Derivations having divergence zero onR[X,Y]

In this paper it is proved that for any ℚ-algebraR any locally nilpotentR-derivationD onR[X,Y] having divergence zero and 1 ∈ (D(X),D(Y)) (i) has a slice, and (ii)A ^D =R[P] for someP. Furthermore, it is shown that any surjectiveR-derivation onR[X,Y] having divergence zero is locally nilpotent. Connections with the Jacobian Conjecture are made.     

Physical fabrication of colloidal ZnO nanoparticles combining wet-grinding and laser fragmentation

Combination of wet-grinding and laser fragmentation is a promising approach to advance both methods: Laser fragmentation will be more efficient when combined with mechanical treatment and wet-grinding may take advance of the abrasion-free laser process to achieve fabrication of smaller particles. By mechanical pre-treatment of zinc oxide microparticles in a stirred-media mill, the starting material is activated by generation of crystallographic defects, which strongly enhance the efficiency of subsequent laser fragmentation. Picosecond-laser irradiation of mechanically treated and untreated microparticles suspended in water yielded in colloidal zinc oxide nanoparticles. Furthermore, nanoparticle productivity and properties can be controlled by variation of anionic surfactant concentration.     

In-plane magnetic pattern separation in NiFe/NiO and Co/NiO exchange biased bilayers investigated by magnetic force microscopy

Ion bombardment induced magnetic patterning (IBMP) was used to write in-plane magnetized micro and submicron patterns in exchange biased magnetic bilayers, where the magnetization directions of the adjacent patterns are antiparallel to each other in remanence. These magnetic patterns were investigated by non-contact magnetic force microscopy (MFM). It is shown that the recorded MFM images of the IBMP patterns in two exemplarily chosen standard layer systems (NiFe (4.8 nm)/NiO (68 nm) and Co (4.8 nm)/NiO (68 nm)) can be well described by a model within the point-dipole approximation for the tip magnetization. For 5 and 0.9 μm wide bar patterns the domain wall widths between adjacent magnetically patterned areas were determined to a≈1 μm. The minimum magnetically stable pattern width was estimated to be 0.7 μm in the standard system Co (4.8 nm)/NiO (68 nm).
