New bound spin-flip transitions in n-InSb

Donor spin - flip transitions with ΔN = 0, ΔM = ?1, and Δλ = 1 are observed in InSb in high magnetic fields using an optically pumped far-infrared laser system. Variational calculations of the donor levels yielded good agreement with previously observed donor transitions energies. As regards the new spin - flip transitions reported in this work, the theoretical treatment has to be revised particularly for obtaining correct selection rules.     

The microwave Hall effect of a two-dimensional electron gas

The integer Quantum Hall effect has been recently observed in the Hall conductivity _xy at microwave frequencies. Here we present a calculation of the wave propagation in the crossed waveguide system used in the experiments. The field pattern is more complicated than in the case of a pure plane wave. The essential result, however, remains unchanged: The field strength in the second (crossed) waveguide is proportional to _xy of the two-dimensional electron gas.

On the effect of non-parabolicity in the quantum-mechanical treatment of cyclotron resonance in n-Ge

The quantum-mechanical expression for _± including non-parabolicity of the conduction band is applied to the case of the transverse-mass resonance of n-Ge in the quantum regime aroundk _B T~ (=5.6×10¹²s^–1). The essential results concern the resonance position in the transmittivity (shift with temperature) and the line shape (asymmetric absorption).     

Circular-polarization-dependent study of the microwave-induced magneto-resistance oscillations in the 2D electron system

We have investigated the influence of the polarization of the incident radiation on the recently discovered microwave-induced resistance oscillations in state-of-the-art highest purity 2D electron systems. A quasi-optical setup allows us to tune in situ between different circular as well as linear polarization states. We find that the microwave-induced zero resistance and the resistance oscillations are notably immune to changes in the polarization. This observation is discrepant with a number of proposed theories. Deviations for different polarizations only occur for a bolometric contribution to the resistance associated with the resonant heating at the cyclotron resonance itself.     

Synthesis of substituted 6-cyclopropylpurine bases and nucleosides by cross-coupling reactions or cyclopropanations

Synthesis of novel purine bases and nucleosides bearing unsubstituted or substituted cyclopropyl rings in position 6 is reported. Unsubstituted 6-cyclopropylpurines were efficiently prepared by cross-coupling reactions of 6-chloropurines with cyclopropylzinc chloride. 6-Vinylpurines underwent Cu-mediated cyclopropanations with ethyl diazoacetate to give 6-[(ethoxycarbonyl)cyclopropyl]purines that were further transformed to carboxylic acids, amides and alcohols. 6-Cyclopropylpurine ribonucleoside exerted a significant cytostatic effect while all substituted derivatives were inactive.
