Theoretical study of the nitrogen atom hyperfine coupling constant

The nitrogen-atom isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A(iso) is studied as a function of improvements in both the one-particle and n-particle basis sets. The study underscores the importance of diffuse basis functions. For example, the (9s 5p) primitive set of Huzinaga (1965) augmented with an even-tempered diffuse s function yields values for A(iso) that are virtually identical to an energy-optimized (23s 12p) even-tempered set. The A(iso) constant is found to converge relatively quickly with increasing l quantum numbers: d, f, and g functions are estimated to contribute 2.5 + or - 0.2, 0.4 + or - 0.1, and 0.05 + or - 0.05 MHz, respectively. Full CI calibration calculations indicate that very high levels of correlation treatment are required for quantitative results. In addition, a strong coupling is observed between the one-particle and n-particle requirements. The best result, 10.4 MHz, is in excellent agreement with the accurate experimental value of 10.4509 MHz.

Polyhedral Distortions and Unusual Magnetic Order in Spinel FeMn 2 O 4

Spinel compounds AB 2 X 4 consist of both tetrahedral (AX 4 ) and octahedral (BX 6) environments with the former forming a diamond lattice and the latter a geometrically frustrated pyrochlore lattice. Exploring the fascinating physical properties and their correlations with structural features is critical in understanding these materials. FeMn 2 O 4 has been reported to exhibit one structural transition and two successive magnetic transitions. In this work, we report the polyhedral distortions and their correlations to the structural and two magnetic transitions in FeMn 2 O 4 by employing the high-resolution neutron powder diffraction. The cation distribution is found to be ($Mn_{0.9}^{2+}Fe_{0.1}^{3+}$)$_{A}$($Mn^{3+}Fe_{0.9}^{3+}Mn_{0.1}^{2+}$)$_{B}$O 4 . While large trigonal distortion is found even in the high-temperature cubic phase, the first-order cubic-tetragonal structural transition associated with the elongation of both tetrahedra and octahedra with shared oxygen atoms along the c axis occurs at T S ≈ 750 K, driven by the Jahn–Teller effect of the orbital active B-site Mn 3+ cation. Strong magnetoelastic coupling is unveiled at T N1 ≈ 400 K as manifested by the appearance of Néel-type collinear ferrimagnetic order, an anomaly in both tetrahedral and octahedral distortions, as well as an anomalous decrease of the lattice constants c and a weak anomaly of a. Upon cooling to T N2 ≈ 65 K, it evolves to a noncollinear ferrimagnetic order accompanied by the different moments at the split magnetic sites B1 and B2. Only one-half of the B-site Mn 3+ /Fe 3+ spins, i.e., the B2-site spins in the pyrochlore lattice, are canted, which is a unique magnetic order among spinels. The canting angle between A-site and B2-site moments is ~25°, but the B1-site moment stays antiparallel to the A-site moment even at 10 K. This noncollinear order is accompanied by a modification of the O–B–O bond angles in the octahedra without significant change in lattice constants or tetrahedral/octahedral distortion parameters, indicating a distinct magnetoelastic coupling. We demonstrate distinct roles of the A-site and B-site magnetic cations in the structural and magnetic properties of FeMn 2 O 4 . Our study indicates that FeMn 2 O 4 is a wonderful platform to unveil interesting magnetic order and to investigate their correlations with polyhedral distortions and lattice.

Multiwavelength study of the magnetically active T Tauri star HD 283447

We observed the luminous T Tauri star HD 283447 = V773 Tauri simultaneously at X-ray, ultraviolet, optical photometric and spectroscopic, and radio wavelengths for several hours on UT 1992 September 11. ROSAT, IUE, Very Large Array (VLA) and an intercontinental Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) network, and three optical observatories participated in the campaign. The star is known for its unusually high and variable nonthermal radio continuum emission. High levels of soft X-ray and Mg II line emission are discovered, with luminosity L(sub x) = 5.5 x 10(exp 30) ergs/s (0.2 - 2 keV) and L(sub Mg II) = 1 x 10(exp 29) ergs/s, respectively. Optically, the spectrum exhibits rather weak characteristics of `classical' T Tauri stars. A faint, broad emission line component, probably due to a collimated wind or infall, is present. During the campaign, the radio luminosity decreased by a factor of 4, while optical/UV lines and X-ray emission remained strong but constant. The large gyrosynchrotron-emitting regions are therefore decoupled from the chromospheric and coronal emission. Five models for the magnetic geometry around the star are discussed; solar-type activity, dipole magnetosphere, star-disk magnetic coupling, disk magnetic fields, and close binary interaction. The data suggest that two magnetic geometries are simultaneously present: complex multipolar fields like those on the Sun, and a large-scale field possibly associated with the circumstellar disk.

Coupling of radiation into thin film modes by means of localized plasma resonances

The interaction between the surface plasmon mode that propagates at a metal dielectric interface and the localized plasma resonances (LPR) is investigated experimentally in Ag-island films. A stair-stepped sample geometry comprising a glass substrate, a continuous 50-nm Ag film, an LiF spacer film of thickness d = 5-60 nm, and an Ag-island film of mass thickness 3 nm is used in near-normal-reflectivity and plasmon-propagation-constant (k) determinations. The results are presented graphically and discussed. The overall shape of the reflectivity curves is found to be characteristic of Ag films, but with a dip at about 400 nm (corresponding to the absorption resonance of the island film) which is most pronounced with d = 25 nm. It is inferred that the island resonances are strongly coupled to a continuous-film dissipative mechanism at this d value. This inference is supported by the fact that the variation in k, correctd for LiF effects and plotted as a function of d, is greatest at around d = 25 nm. The implications of this finding for broad-band coupling into a thin-film mode, LPR enhancement of waveguide nonlinear effects, and new surface-enhanced-Raman-scattering geometries are indicated.

Ultrafast dynamics of CN radical reactions with chloroform solvent under vibrational strong coupling

Polariton chemistry may provide a new means to control molecular reactivity, permitting remote, reversible modification of reaction energetics, kinetics, and product yields. A considerable body of experimental and theoretical work has already demonstrated that strong coupling between a molecular vibrational mode and the confined electromagnetic field of an optical cavity can alter chemical reactivity without external illumination. However, the mechanisms underlying cavity-altered chemistry remain unclear in large part because the experimental systems examined previously are too complex for detailed analysis of their reaction dynamics. Here, we experimentally investigate photolysis-induced reactions of cyanide radicals with strongly-coupled chloroform (CHCl 3 ) solvent molecules and examine the intracavity rates of photofragment recombination, solvent complexation, and hydrogen abstraction. Here we use a microfluidic optical cavity fitted with dichroic mirrors to facilitate vibrational strong coupling (VSC) of the C–H stretching mode of CHCl 3 while simultaneously permitting optical access at visible wavelengths. Ultrafast transient absorption experiments performed with cavities tuned on- and off-resonance reveal that VSC of the CHCl 3 C–H stretching transition does not significantly modify any measured rate constants, including those associated with the hydrogen abstraction reaction. This work represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first experimental study of an elementary bimolecular reaction under VSC. We discuss how the conspicuous absence of cavity-altered effects in this system may provide insights into the mechanisms of modified ground state reactivity under VSC and help bridge the divide between experimental results and theoretical predictions in vibrational polariton chemistry.

Insensitivity of Magnetic Coupling to Ligand Substitution in a Series of Tetraoxolene Radical-Bridged Fe 2 Complexes

The elucidation of magnetostructural correlations between bridging ligand substitution and strength of magnetic coupling is essential to the development of high-temperature molecule-based magnetic materials. Toward this end, we report the series of tetraoxolene-bridged Fe II 2 complexes [(Me 3 TPyA) 2 Fe 2 ( R L)] n + (Me 3 TPyA = tris(6-methyl-2-pyridylmethyl)amine; n = 2: OMe LH 2 = 3,6-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydroxo-1,4-benzoquinone, Cl LH 2 = 3,6-dichloro-2,5-dihydroxo-1,4-benzoquinone, Na 2 [ NO 2 L] = sodium 3,6-dinitro-2,5-dihydroxo-1,4-benzoquinone; n = 4: SMe 2 L = 3,6-bis(dimethylsulfonium)-2,5-dihydroxo-1,4-benzoquinone diylide) and their one-electron-reduced analogues. Furthermore, variable-temperature dc magnetic susceptibility data reveal the presence of weak ferromagnetic superexchange between Fe II centers in the oxidized species, with exchange constants of J = +1.2(2) (R = OMe, Cl) and +0.3(1) (R = NO 2 , SMe 2 ) cm –1 . In contrast, X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, and Mössbauer spectroscopy establish a ligand-centered radical in the reduced complexes. Magnetic measurements for the radical-bridged species reveal the presence of strong antiferromagnetic metal–radical coupling, with J = -57(10), -60(7), -58(6), and -65(8) cm –1 for R = OMe, Cl, NO 2 , and SMe 2 , respectively. The minimal effects of substituents in the 3- and 6-positions of R L x –• on the magnetic coupling strength is understood through electronic structure calculations, which show negligible spin density on the substituents and associated C atoms of the ring. Finally, the radical-bridged complexes are single-molecule magnets, with relaxation barriers of U eff = 50(1), 41(1), 38(1), and 33(1) cm –1 for R = OMe, Cl, NO 2 , and SMe 2 , respectively. Taken together, these results provide the first examination of how bridging ligand substitution influences magnetic coupling in semiquinoid-bridged compounds, and they establish design criteria for the synthesis of semiquinoid-based molecules and materials.

The Southern hemisphere midlatitude circulation response to rapid adjustments and sea surface temperature driven feedbacks

Rapid adjustments – the response of meteorology to external forcing while sea surface temperatures (SST) and sea ice are held fixed – can affect the midlatitude circulation and contribute to long-term forced circulation responses in climate simulations. This study examines rapid adjustments in the Southern hemisphere (SH) circulation using nine models from the Precipitation Driver and Response Model Intercomparison Project (PDRMIP), which perform fixed SST and coupled ocean experiments for five perturbations: a doubling of carbon dioxide (2xCO2), a tripling of methane (3xCH4), a five-fold increase in sulphate aerosol (5xSO4), a ten-fold increase in black carbon aerosol (10xBC) and a 2% increase in solar constant (2%Sol). In the coupled experiments, the SH eddy-driven jet shifts poleward and strengthens for forcings that produce global warming (and vice versa for 5xSO4), with the strongest response found in austral summer. In austral winter, the responses project more strongly onto a change in jet strength. For 10xBC, which induces strong shortwave absorption, the multi-model mean (MMM) rapid adjustment in DJF jet latitude is ~75% of the change in the coupled simulations. For the other forcings, which induce larger SST changes, the effect of SST-mediated feedbacks on the SH circulation is larger than the rapid adjustment. Nevertheless, for these perturbations the magnitude of the MMM jet shift due to the rapid adjustment is still around 25-33% of that in the coupled experiments. The results demonstrate the need to understand the mechanisms for rapid adjustments in the midlatitude circulation, in addition to the effect of changing SSTs.

Calculation of vortex flows on complex configurations

The calculation of aerodynamic characteristics of complex configurations having strongly coupled vortex flows is a non-linear problem requiring iterative solution techniques. This paper discusses the use of a low-order panel method as a means of obtaining practical solutions to such problems. The panel method is based on piecewise constant source and doublet quadrilateral panels and uses the internal Dirichlet boundary condition of zero perturbation potential. The problems of predicting vortex/surface interaction and vortex separation are discussed. Some example calculations are included but further test cases have yet to be carried out, in particular for comparisons with experimental data. The problem of convergence on the iterative calculation for the shape of the free vortex sheet is addressed and a preprocessor routine, based on an unsteady, two-dimensional version of the panel method, is put forward as a cost-effective way of generating an initial vortex structure for use as a starting solution for general configurations.

Influence of solvents on electrochemical stability window of ionic liquid solutions

The electrochemical stability window (ESW) defines the voltage range within which an electrolyte remains stable against oxidation and reduction, serving as a key descriptor for ionic liquid (IL)-based systems. The ESWs of 15 ILs with diverse cation-anion combinations were systematically investigated, both in their neat forms and as binary mixtures with three representative solvents, i.e., propylene carbonate (PC), ethylene glycol (EG), and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Cyclic voltammetry on a glassy carbon electrode determined anodic and cathodic stability limits, revealing that ESW protection in IL-solvent mixtures strongly depends on solvent polarity, proticity, and IL compatibility. PC, with a high dielectric constant and aprotic character, broadened anodic limits and moderately stabilized cathodic limits. THF maintained compact interfacial structure, offering additional cathodic protection, whereas EG, being protic, reduced ESWs via proton-coupled electron transfer and hydrogen evolution. The solvent protection trend followed by PC > THF > EG, with bulky, hydrophobic cations ([HMIM] + , [BMPYRR] + ) and weakly coordinating anions ([NTF 2 ] - , [DCA] - , [DEP] - ) showing the highest ESW protection for 50 mol% IL in these solvents. Among the neat ILs, [EMIM][DEP], [HMIM][PF 6 ], and [BMPYRR][DCA] showed wide ESWs of ∼5.5 V. These results provide valuable insight into solvent-modulated electrochemical stability, enabling rational design of IL-based electrolytes for energy storage and electrosynthesis.

Rate of the reaction of atomic hydrogen with propyne over an extended pressure and temperature range

The technique of flash photolysis coupled with time resolved detection of H via resonance fluorescence has been used to obtain rate constants for the reaction of atomic hydrogen with propyne at temperatures from 215 to 460 K and at pressures in the range 5-600 torr. The rate constants are strongly pressure dependent and the high pressure limiting values give rise to the Arrhenius expression K = approximately 6 x 10 to the minus 11th exp(-2450T) cu cm per molecule per sec. The results are discussed and compared with those of previous studies

Analysis of the rotationally-resolved infrared spectrum of CD 3 79 Br and CD 3 81 Br between 900 and 1400 cm -1

We report the infrared spectrum of CD 3 79 Br and CD 3 81 Br between 900 cm -1 and 1400 cm -1 has been analyzed at high resolution. In this region, two fundamental vibrational states, v 2 = 1 and v 5 = 1, an overtone state, v 3 = 2, and a combination state, v 3 = v 6 = 1, have been analyzed for both isotopologues. As found in other halomethane molecules, strong Coriolis resonances couple the v 2 = 1 state to the v 5 = 1 state, and similar resonances were also used to describe the coupling found between the v 5 = 1 state to the v 3 = 2 state. A new determination of the K-dependent constant A 0 was performed for each isotopologue through the use of perturbation-allowed transitions. The values for A 0 determined from the analysis are 2.6001898(26) and 2.6001905(27) for CD 3 79 Br and CD 3 81 Br, respectively. Ab initio calculations were performed to examine the efficacy of high-level theoretical calculations to accurately predict spectroscopic constants. The ab initio calculations had variable success with the largest errors associated with the prediction of the ΔB rotational constants of the interacting states

Tensor network formulation of two-dimensional gravity

We show how to formulate a lattice gauge theory whose naive continuum limit corresponds to two-dimensional (Euclidean) quantum gravity including a positive cosmological constant. More precisely the resultant continuum theory corresponds to gravity in a first-order formalism in which the local frame and spin connection are treated as independent fields. Recasting this lattice theory as a tensor network allows us to study the theory at strong coupling without encountering a sign problem. In two dimensions this tensor network is exactly soluble and we show that the system has a series of critical points that occur for pure imaginary coupling and are associated with first order phase transitions. We then augment the action with a Yang-Mills term which allows us to control the lattice spacing and show how to apply the tensor renormalization group to compute the free energy and look for critical behavior. Finally we perform an analytic continuation in the gravity coupling in this extended model and show that its critical behavior in a certain scaling limit depends only on the topology of the underlying lattice. We also show how the lattice gauge theory can be naturally generalized to generate the Polyakov or Liouville action for two dimensional quantum gravity.

On the fine-structure constant in a plasma model of the fluctuating vacuum substratum

The existence of an intimate connection between the quivering motion of electrons and positrons (Zitterbewegung), predicted by the Dirac equation, and the zero-point fluctuations of the vacuum is suggested. The nature of the proposed connection is discussed quantitatively, and an approximate self-consistency relation is derived, supplying a purely mathematical expression that relates the dimensionless coupling strengths (fine-structure constants) alpha sub e and alpha sub g of electromagnetism and gravity. These considerations provide a tentative explanation for the heretofore puzzling number 1/alpha sub e of about 137.036 and suggest that attempts to unify gravity with the electroweak and strong interactions will ultimately prove successful.

Nonlocal Interactions in Moiré Hubbard Systems

Moiré materials formed in two-dimensional semiconductor heterobilayers are quantum simulators of Hubbard-like physics with unprecedented electron density and interaction strength tunability. Compared to atomic scale Hubbard-like systems, electrons or holes in moiré materials are less strongly attracted to their effective lattice sites because these are defined by finite-depth potential extrema. As a consequence, nonlocal interaction terms like interaction-assisted hopping and intersite exchange are more relevant. Here, we theoretically demonstrate the possibility of tuning the strength of these coupling constants to favor unusual states of matter, including spin liquids, insulating ferromagnets, and superconductors.

The Northeast Monsoon's Impact on Mixing, Phytoplankton Biomass and Nutrient Cycling in the Arabian Sea

In the northern Arabian Sea, atmospheric conditions during the Northeast (winter) Monsoon lead to deep convective mixing. Due to the proximity of the permanent pyncnocline to the sea surface, this mixing does not penetrate below 125 m. However, a strong nitracline is also present and the deep convection results in significant nitrate flux into the surface waters. This leads to nitrate concentrations over the upper 100 m that exceed 4 micrometers toward the end of the Monsoon. During the 1994/1995 US JGOFS/Arabian Sea expedition, the mean areal gross primary production over two successive Northeast Monsoons was determined to be 1.35gC/sq m/d. Thus, despite the deep penetrative convection, high rates of primary productivity were maintained. An interdisciplinary model was developed to elucidate the biogeochemical processes involved in supporting the elevated productivity. This model consists of a 1-D mixed-layer model coupled to a set of equations that tracked phytoplankton growth and the concentration of the two major nutrients (nitrate and ammonium). Zooplankton grazing was parameterized by rate constant determined by shipboard experiments. Model boundary conditions consist of meteorological time-series measured from the surface buoy that was part of the ONR Arabian Sea Experiment's central mooring. Our numerical experiments show that elevated surface evaporation, and the associated salinization of the mixed layer, strongly contributes to the frequency and penetration depth of the observed convective mixing. Cooler surface temperatures, increased nitrate entrainment, reduced water column stratification, and lower near-surface chlorophyll a concentrations all result from this enhanced mixing. The model also captured a dependence on regenerated nitrogen observed in nutrient uptake experiments performed during the Northeast Monsoon. Our numerical experiments also indicate that variability in mean pycnocline depth causes up to a 25% reduction in areal chlorophyll a concentration. We hypothesize that such shifts in pycnocline depth may contribute to the interannual variations in primary production and surface chlorophyll a concentration that have been previously observed in this region.

In situ aerobic methane oxidation rates in a stratified lake

Abstract Microbial aerobic methane oxidation is an important sink for aquatic methane worldwide. Despite its importance to global methane fluxes, few aerobic methane oxidation rates have been obtained in freshwater or marine environments without imposing changes to the microbial community through use of ex situ methods. A novel in situ incubation method for continuous time‐series measurements was used in Jordan Lake, North Carolina, during 2020–2021, to determine reaction kinetics for aerobic methane oxidation rates across a wide range of naturally varying methane (55–1833 nM) and dissolved oxygen (DO; 28–366 μM) concentrations and temperatures (17–30°C). Methane oxidation began immediately at the start of each of 21 incubations and methane oxidation rates were 1 st order with respect to methane. The data density allowed for accurate calculation of 1 st ‐order rate constants,k, that ranged from 0.018 to 0.462 h −1 (R 2 > 0.967). Addition of ammonium (20–45 μM) to natural concentrations ranging from 0.057 to 2.4 μM did not change aerobic methane oxidation rate kinetics, suggesting that the natural population of aerobic methane oxidizers in this eutrophic lake was not nitrogen limited. Values ofkinversely correlated most strongly with initial DO concentrations (R 2 = 0.82) rather than temperature. Values forkincreased with Julian day throughout our sampling period, suggesting seasonal influences on methane oxidation via responses to geochemical changes or shifts in microbial community abundance and composition. These experiments demonstrate a high variability in the enzymatic capacity for 1 st ‐order methane oxidation rates in this eutrophic lake that is tightly and inversely coupled to oxygen concentrations. Measurements of in situ aerobic methane oxidation rate constants allow for the direct quantification and modeling of the microbial community's capacity for methane oxidation over a wide range of natural methane concentrations.

Soft-mode enhanced type-I superconductivity in LiPd 2 Ge

The synthesis, crystal structure, and physical properties (magnetization, resistivity, heat capacity) in combination with theoretical calculations of the electronic structure and phonon properties are reported for intermetallic compounds LiPd 2 X ( X = Si, Ge, and Sn). LeBail refinement of powder x-ray diffraction data confirms that all compounds belong to the Heusler family (space group $\textit{F m-3m}$, No. 225). The lattice parameter increases with atomic size of X , and its value varies from $\textit{a}$ = 5.9059(4) Å for LiPd 2 Si and $\textit{a}$ = 6.0082(3)Å for LiPd 2 Ge, to $\textit{a}$ = 6.2644(1) Å for LiPd 2 Sn. The first compound, LiPd 2 Si, has apparently not been previously reported. All measured quantities demonstrate that LiPd 2 Ge exhibits superconductivity below $T_c$ = 1.96 K and the normal- and superconducting-state data indicate that it is a weak-strength type-I superconductor ($C/γT_c$ = 1.38) with electron-phonon coupling constant $λ_{e–p}$ = (0.53–0.56). LiPd 2 Si and LiPd 2 Sn are not superconducting above 1.68 K. The experimental observations are supported by theoretical calculations which show that LiPd 2 Ge has the highest computed $λ_{e–p}$ and $T_c$ of the group. A strong softening of the acoustic phonon mode is calculated, and in the case of X = Ge and Sn, imaginary phonon frequencies were computed. In this work, the soft mode is most pronounced in the case of LiPd 2 Ge, which suggests its correlation with superconductivity.

Spurious Signal in SMAP Fourth Stokes Parameter

The radiometer on the NASA Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) mission is a fully polarimetric instrument that operates at L-band in the spectrum window at 1400-1427 MHz protected for passive use only. A unique feature of the radiometer is the fully digital back-end which permits direct computation of the third and fourth Stokes parameters: the real and imaginary part of the correlation of signal at horizontal and vertical polarizations, respectively. In particular, the SMAP conical scanning geometry provides the opportunity to look at the global distribution of the fourth Stokes parameter, TA4, at constant incidence angle (40°). A striking feature of TA4 is the existence of a strong (±10 K) spurious signal at coastlines. This article provides examples of the spikes and an explanation of the cause. Simulations have shown that the spurious signal is associated with antenna imperfections, such as cross polarization coupling and phase mismatch between polarizations.
