Creation of entangled states of excitons in coupled quantum dots

We present two methods for the creation of two-particle entangled states of excitons in a coupled quantum dot system. The system contains two identical quantum dots that are coupled by an inter-dot hopping process. The manipulation of the system is succeeded by proper application of an external laser field.     

Direct measurement of the magnetocaloric effect in La0.67Ca0.33MnO3

Polycrystalline perovskite La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ was synthesized by a sol–gel method. Its adiabatic temperature change ΔT_ad induced by a magnetic field change was measured directly. At 268 K, near its Curie temperature T_C, ΔT_ad of La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ induced by a magnetic field change of 2.02 T reaches 2.4 K. The latent heat Q and magnetic entropy change −ΔS_M induced by a magnetic field change were calculated from the temperature dependence of ΔT_ad and zero-field heat capacity C_p. The maximum values of Q and −ΔS_M in La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO₃ induced by a magnetic field change of 2.02 T are 1.85 J g⁻¹ and 6.9 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, respectively. The former is larger than the phase transition latent heat of heating or cooling, which is about 1.70 J g⁻¹.

Assignment of the first photoelectron band of the CH<Subscript>3</Subscript>CHCl radical using ab initio quantum mechanical calculations

HeI photoelectron spectra have been recorded for the reaction of atomic fluorine with ethyl chloride at different reaction times. A structured band associated with a short-lived primary reaction product has been recorded with adiabatic and vertical ionization energies of (7.84±0.02) and (8.18±0.02) eV respectively. An average vibrational separation of (680±30) cm^–1was observed in this band. Comparison between the experimental vertical and adiabatic ionization energies and ionization energies computed for CH₃CHCl (X²A) and CH₂CH₂Cl (X²A) at different levels of theory led to the assignment of the observed first photoelectron band to the ionization of CH₃CHCl (X²A). The observed vibrational structure was assigned to excitation of the C–Cl stretching mode in CH₃CHCl⁺(X¹A).Proceedings of the 11th International Congress of Quantum Chemistry satellite meeting in honor of Jean-Louis Rivail     

Thermodynamic studies of monuron

Monuron (C₉H₁₁ClN₂O; N,N-dimethyl-N′-(4-chlorophenyl) urea, CAS 150-68-5) was synthesized and the heat capacities of the compound were measured in the temperature range from 79 to 385 K with a high precision automated adiabatic calorimeter. No phase transition or thermal anomaly was observed in this range. The enthalpy and entropy data of the compound relative to the reference temperature 298.15 K were derived based on the heat capacity data. The thermodynamic properties of the compound were further investigated through DSC and TG analysis. The melting point, the molar enthalpy, and entropy of fusion were determined to be 447.6±0.1 K, 29.3±0.2 kJ mol⁻¹, and 65.4 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, respectively.     

Electron energy level crossings in the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approximation

Summary We summarize the results of a mathematical study of the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approximation near crossings of two non-degenerate electron energy surfaces. We illustrate our techniques by relatively simple examples that contain the essential ingredients of the general cases. We discuss all generic types of crossings of two non-degenerate electron energy surfaces.Supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant number DMS-8801360     

Self-consistent-field – Hartree–Fock method with finite nuclear mass corrections

We have upgraded a Self-consistent-field – Hartree–Fock routine to include a finite nuclear mass correction for molecules developed in our laboratory. The new routine can handle isotopomers without calculating any nuclear kinetic energy matrix element. Tests on H₂, LiH, HF, F₂, and H₂O isotopomers indicate the equivalence of our correction to the standard diagonal adiabatic correction. A further original application to C₂H₆ illustrates the usefulness of the method for polyatomic molecules. The resulting molecular orbitals carry the nuclear mass signature, exemplified with Koopmans ionization potentials.From the Proceedings of the 28th Congreso de Químicos Teóricos de Expresión Latina (QUITEL 2002)
