Some applications of polarized inelastic neutron scattering in magnetism

A brief account of applications of polarized inelastic neutron scattering in condensed matter research is given. We show that full polarization analysis is the only tool allowing to discriminate unambiguously between different magnetic modes in various magnetic materials. We show by means of recent results in the Heisenberg ferromagnet EuS that the effects of dipolar interactions can be studied on a microscopic scale. Moreover, we have found for the first time indications for the divergence of the longitudinal fluctuations belowT _c. In the itinerant antiferromagnet chromium we demonstrate that the dynamics of the longitudinal and transverse excitations are very different, resolving a long standing puzzle concerning the slope of their dispersion. Finally, we show that a measurement of the polarization-dependent part of the cross section of non-centrosymmetric MnSi proves directly that the chirality of the magnetic fluctuations is left-handed.     

Molecular flow and wall collision age distributions

The use of storage cells has become a standard technique for internal gas targets in conjunction with high energy storage rings. In case of spin-polarized hydrogen and deuterium gas targets the interaction of the injected atoms with the walls of the storage cell can lead to depolarization and recombination. Thus the number of wall collisions of the atoms in the target gas is important for modeling the processes of spin relaxation and recombination. It is shown in this article that the diffusion process of rarefied gases in long tubes or storage cells can be described with the help of the one-dimensional diffusion equation. Mathematical methods are presented that allow one to calculate collision age distributions (CAD) and their moments analytically. These methods provide a better understanding of the different aspects of diffusion than Monte Carlo calculations. Additionally it is shown that measurements of the atomic density or polarization of a gas sample taken from the center of the tube allow one to determine the possible range of the corresponding density weighted average values along the tube. The calculations are applied to the storage cell geometry of the HERMES internal polarized hydrogen and deuterium gas target. Received 9 July 2001 and Received in final form 18 September 2001     

Polarized emission from a rhenium metal-ligand complex

We report the first observation of polarized emission from a rhenium-phenanthroline complex, Re(CO)₃(phen)Cl. Highly luminescent rhenium complexes are known, with quantum yields near 0.5 and lifetimes in excess of 10 s. The detection of polarized emission suggests the use of rhenium complexes as probes of the hydrodynamics of large macromolecular complexes and for use in fluorescence polarization immunoassays with gated detection.

Reversible size of shear-induced multi-lamellar vesicles

We have investigated the reversibility in the shear-induced multi-lamellar vesicle (MLV) size during stepwise cycling of the shear rate by employing common rheometry, polarized light microscopy and rheo-optic techniques. We thus address the question whether there is a true MLV steady state, irrespective of history. The system studied, was the nonionic surfactant triethylene glycol decyl ether (C₁₀E₃) with a concentration of 40 wt.% in D₂O and a constant temperature of 25°C. It was found that the MLV size varies reversibly with varying shear rate, and hence there exists a true steady state in the presence of shear flow. The experimental observations of reversibility are however restricted to higher shear rates. Because the transformation of the size results from the shear strain, the process is very slow at lower shear rates, where the steady state cannot be reached within a reasonable experimental time.     

聚(ε-己内酯)薄膜结晶形貌及分子取向研究

用匀胶机通过溶液铸膜方法在硅片和铝箔基板上分别制备具有不同厚度的聚(ε-己内酯)(PCL)薄膜. 通过原子力显微镜(AFM)和偏光衰减全反射傅里叶红外光谱(ATR-FTIR)对薄膜中PCL的结晶形貌、 片晶生长方式及分子链取向进行了研究. AFM结果表明, 在200 nm或更厚的薄膜中, PCL主要以侧立(edge-on)片晶的方式生长; 对于厚度小于200 nm的薄膜, PCL片晶更倾向于以平躺(flat-on)的方式生长. 这种片晶生长方式的改变在硅片和铝箔基板上都表现出同样的倾向. 此外, 在15 nm或更薄的薄膜中, PCL结晶由通常的球晶结构变为树枝状晶体. 偏光ATR-FTIR结果表明, 当膜厚小于200 nm时, 薄膜结晶中PCL分子链沿垂直于基板表面方向取向, 并且膜越薄, 取向程度越高, 与AFM的观测结果一致.

Conducting polymer membranes for low activity potentiometric ion sensing

Conducting polymer (CP) films, used as ion-sensing membranes under open circuit potentiometric conditions, are usually characterised with rather high detection limit, in the range of 10⁻⁴-10⁻⁵ mol dm⁻³. This effect is unfavourable, not only from the point of view of CP applications in potentiometry as ion sensitive membranes, but also when these materials are used as ion-to-electron transducers (solid contacts) for ion-selective electrodes. The theoretical considerations presented underline the crucial role of spontaneous processes of polymer charging/discharging—the source of observed high detection limit of sensors comprising CP layer under zero current conditions. Although the mechanism of occurring process is different from that observed for plastic, solvent polymeric based ion-selective electrodes, the ultimate result—alteration of activity of electrolyte at the membrane/solution interface leading to elevation of the detection limit—is the same.The method of estimation of parameters characterising spontaneous charge transfer processes is presented. The values obtained can be used to calculate the resulting polymer/solution interface activity of electrolyte ions, thus the detection limit of CP membrane can be theoretically predicted.A method of lowering of the detection limit of conducting polymer membranes, applying galvanostatic polarisation to compensate the spontaneous process of polymer charging/discharging, is presented.The experimental results obtained for poly(pyrrole), poly(N-methylpyrrole) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) are in good accordance with predictions of the presented model.     

Synthesis and Opto-Electronic Properties of Cholesteric Cellulose Esters

Cholesteric materials display unique optical properties which can be exploited in opto-electronic applications such as light emitting diodes. The key feature is the position of the wavelength of the emitted light relative to the one of the selective reflection band. We have synthesized a set of cellulose derivatives displaying the cholesteric phase with the aim to investigate the correlation between chemical structure and properties. Phase transition temperatures, the chain packing, the wavelength of selective reflection but also absorption and fluorescence spectra were investigated as a function of the degree of substitution (DS), the nature of lateral substituents, the composition of doped systems and blends of different cellulose derivatives. Investigated were furthermore the degree of circular polarization of the emitted light for guest–host systems and for cellulose systems with chromophores linked by covalent bonds to the cellulose backbone as well as their performance in light emitting diodes. The conclusion is that the optical properties can be accounted for on the basis of the model of a one-dimensional photonic crystal. The limiting factor with respect to opto-electronic applications is the poor control of the uniformity of the helix formation and orientation.
