Tracking of Proton Transfer Reaction in Supercooled RNA Nucleoside
Elementary plasma-chemical reactions can be described by micro-kinetic characteristics like cross-sections and reaction probabilities. There are several types of ionization processes including direct electron impact ionization, stepwise ionization, and ionization by photons or heavy particles. Collision parameters include the cross-section, probability, mean free path, and reaction rates. Direct ionization follows the Thomson formula at high energies. Molecular ionization is affected by the Frank-Condon principle where atomic positions remain fixed. Stepwise ionization occurs through excitation to an energy above the ionization potential. High-energy electrons like in beams follow the Bethe-Bloch formula for energy loss per unit length.
1) Electrogenic pumps like the Na+/K+ ATPase transport ions across membranes using energy from ATP hydrolysis. This leads to a net movement of charge across the membrane.
2) Early models assumed passive ion diffusion established ion gradients, but problems arose. Equations were developed but inconsistencies emerged when applying them to plant cells.
3) The mechanism of the Na+/K+ ATPase involves ions binding deep within the protein and moving through access channels to binding sites. Transient currents from external ions like K+ and Na+ moving through these channels have been measured.
Amplitude modulation of electron plasma waves in a quantum plasmaDr. Swarniv Chandra
The document investigates the effects of quantum diffraction on the linear and nonlinear behavior of electron plasma waves in a two-component electron-ion dense quantum plasma. Using a one-dimensional quantum hydrodynamic model, it is shown that quantum effects significantly affect the linear dispersion and group velocity of electron plasma waves. With immobile ions, quantum diffraction makes the electron plasma wave modulationally unstable in two distinct wavenumber regions, and the stability region shrinks with increasing quantum effects. Ion motion is also found to change the stability/instability domains at low wavenumbers.
The document discusses the state of thermal excitation, or "THE THEXI STATE". It defines ground and excited states, with the ground state being the lowest energy state and excited states having higher energy. Thermal excitation occurs when electrons absorb energy, such as from light or collisions, promoting them to an excited state. The properties of thermally excited states, or "Thexi states", are described, including that they are unstable and have short lifetimes. Methods to prepare Thexi states include irradiation or energy transfer. Thexi states emit radiation as they return to the ground state. Spectroscopy techniques can provide information about Thexi state energies and structures, though the actual structures are difficult to determine.

Anisotropic Kondo effect
Wael Chibani (email: chibani@fhi-berlin.mpg.de)
Using the numerical renormalization group (NRG), we study the STM tunneling current through a Co atom embedded on an anisotropic lattice and experiencing a magnetic field in both directions, parallel and perpendicular to the anisotropy, as was measured by Otte et al. [1]. We introduce the Kondo-Anderson hybrid model (KAHM) Hamiltonian, by which we describe the system, where we take the spin of the Co atom as being S=3/2, and present the mapping of the self energy representation [2] onto our model. After discussing the easy-axis and easy-plan anisotropy, we demonstrate, that our problem is best described by an easy-axis anisotropy. Moreover, the experimental spectra show a dependence of the splitting of the Kondo resonance at finite magnetic fields on the direction of the magnetic field with respect to the anisotropy, which we will also discuss.
Finally, when comparing our NRG calculated current with the experimentally measured one, we found, that, the Kondo temperature as given in the experiment is too small and thus, we choose an effective temperature to describe the system.

It introduces concepts such as Fermi liquids in metals, Mott insulators arising from electron-electron interactions, and the competition between kinetic energy and interaction energy leading to a Mott transition from metal to insulator with increasing interaction strength. It also distinguishes between Slater insulators driven by antiferromagnetism and Mott insulators where insulating behavior does not require magnetic ordering.

Exploration Geology- Radioactive method of explorationsruthy sajeev
This document provides an overview of radioactive dating methods and radioactive detectors. It defines key terms like atoms, isotopes, alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma radiation. It describes the three main types of radioactive decay and how decay rates are used to date materials. Two common radioactive detectors, the Geiger-Muller counter and scintillation counter, are summarized. The GM counter detects beta radiation close up while the scintillation counter is more efficient for gamma rays and can be used from a distance or while mobile.

It summarizes calculations showing a strongly correlated metal state in SrVO3 with a lower Hubbard band, a Mott insulator transition in V2O3 accompanied by a small structural change, and heavy fermion behavior in Li2VO4 without f-electrons. It also discusses calculations of the charge transfer insulator NiO, pressure-induced transitions in MnO and Fe2O3, correlated covalent insulators FeSi and FeSb2, superconductivity in LaOFeAs, Jahn-Teller distortions and orbital ordering in KCuF3, and f-electron localization in cerium.

Physical chemistry of soil for PG studentsP.K. Mani
The document summarizes the Stern model of the electrical double layer at electrode-electrolyte interfaces. The Stern model proposes that the double layer consists of two parts - an inner compact layer where ions are firmly adsorbed, and an outer diffuse layer where ions are scattered in solution. The potential drops linearly within the compact layer and exponentially within the diffuse layer. The Stern model implies that there are two potential drops and that the interface can be represented as two capacitors in series. At high electrolyte concentrations, the diffuse layer is compressed and the interface capacity is equal to the compact layer capacity alone.

2. At reaction centers, charge separation occurs across a semiconductor heterojunction in a process similar to what happens in organic photovoltaics. The free charges are then used to drive chemical reactions like water oxidation.
3. Photosynthesis has an overall energy conversion efficiency of around 5% due to losses from light absorption, photon requirements for glucose production, and seasonal growth conditions. Precise protein structures facilitate efficient energy funneling to reaction centers.
Charge Transfer Complexation and Excited State Interactions in Porphyrin-Ag N...kamatlab
This document summarizes a study on the charge-transfer complexation and excited-state interactions between tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (TAPP) and silver nanoparticles. The amine groups of TAPP allow it to form charge-transfer complexes with silver nanoparticles, resulting in a red-shifted absorption band and chemical enhancement of the surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering signal. Time-resolved spectroscopy shows fast charge separation upon photoexcitation of the TAPP-silver nanoparticle complexes, followed by slower charge recombination.
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is the basic structural element of other allotropes like graphite, which can be viewed as stacked layers of graphene. Graphene is highly electrically conductive due to the unique electronic band structure arising from its hexagonal lattice. It also has very high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. Doping graphene is motivated to modify its properties and enable applications by introducing a bandgap. Plasmonic effects arise from the collective oscillation of free electrons in metal nanoparticles, which can enhance light absorption and be used to integrate graphene with photonic applications.
This study measured the X-ray fluorescence spectra of chromium compounds with different oxidation states (Cr0, Cr3+, Cr6+) using a high-resolution crystal spectrometer. Second-order contributions like plasmon satellites were resolved below the main Kβ1,3 emission line. The intensities and energies of these satellites varied between the compounds. Specifically, the Kβ' satellite had higher intensity and was at a lower energy for Cr3+ compared to Cr6+ or Cr0. Similar trends were observed for other satellites like Kβ5. The results provide information about how chemical bonding affects X-ray emission spectra.
The document discusses several ways of driving insulator-metal phase transitions in VO2, including:
1) Thermal heating which can induce the transition by increasing temperature above the critical point.
2) Optical excitation using infrared spectroscopy, ultrafast lasers, or x-rays which can cause partial or full transitions by redistributing electron occupancy.
3) Electrical current injection or charge doping which can screen electron correlations and effectively reduce the transition temperature.

This document summarizes a thesis submitted for a Master's degree in nano-optoelectronics. The thesis focuses on synthesizing and characterizing bismuth sodium titanate (BNT), a lead-free ferroelectric material. BNT is studied as an alternative to lead zirconate titanate (PZT), which is widely used but toxic. The thesis will synthesize BNT using solid-state and sol-gel methods, characterize its structure and properties, and compare the results. Characterization tools like XRD, SEM, and dielectric measurements will be used. If successful, BNT could replace PZT in applications like sensors and actuators while avoiding lead's toxicity issues.

Carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy provides detailed structural information about molecules. It works by applying a magnetic field to carbon-13 isotopes, which have spin, and measuring the energy required to excite these nuclei. The number of signals indicates the number of different carbon atom environments, while chemical shifts reveal functional groups. Coupling patterns show neighboring protons. This technique is useful when hydrogen NMR cannot be used, and for tracing metabolism and determining drug purity.

Probing Molecular Electronic Structure Using High Harmonic Generation TomographyChelsey Crosse
The structure of valence electronic orbitals of a molecule determines the majority of chemical properties. Generation of high-order harmonic frequencies from atomic sources has been directly related to the electronic structure of the atom, (1) and extended as far as tomographic reconstruction of linearly symmetric polyatomic molecular systems with some success. (2,3,4)
However, because of the increased resolution of these reconstructions, discrimination of fine details of the orbital reconstructions reveals some inconsistencies in the orbital shapes when compared with past models & theoretical calculations. (2) There are several proposed corrections to the Strong Field Approximation (SFA) that currently underlies tomographic reconstruction as well as all other experiments that use high harmonic generation (HHG) to probe molecular systems.

Excitation Energy Transfer In Photosynthetic MembranesJiahao Chen
This document summarizes research on excitation energy transfer in the light harvesting complex II (LHC-II) found in plants. It discusses how LHC-II is able to efficiently funnel light energy absorbed by chlorophyll pigments to the reaction center in picoseconds using two mechanisms: Dexter electron exchange and Förster dipole-dipole interactions. Computational modeling of LHC-II's atomic coordinates and transition dipole strengths shows the strongest couplings allow the fastest energy transfers, with an overall light harvesting efficiency of 98.7% and a mean passage time of 13.52 picoseconds for excitons to travel between pigments.

Bio-Molecular Engineering is the Future of Molecular BiologyBob Eisenberg
Bio-Molecular Engineering is the Future of Molecular Biology: Now that we have large numbers of excellent structures, we molecular biologists must turn to studying how they work. That is the task of BioMolecular Engineering that uses almost the same tools as classical membrane biophysics. Both treat systems as devices, with inputs, outputs and power supplies, that ONLY function with flow, away from equilibrium.
This document discusses the sensitivity of future reactor neutrino experiments to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. It finds that to achieve a greater than 3-sigma determination within 5 years, an energy resolution of less than 3% for the alpha term and less than 0.5% for the beta term is required. Interference among reactor cores can significantly impact the sensitivity. The experiment would also need an 18 kiloton detector located 50 km from a 16.5 gigawatt reactor complex. With such parameters, neutrino oscillation parameters could be measured to less than 1% accuracy.
Edge-confined under-coordinated Cu atoms on Ru nanosheets enable efficient CH...Pawan Kumar
The document summarizes a study on using atomically dispersed metallic copper sites on ruthenium nanosheets for the selective room-temperature oxidation of methane to oxygenates. Key findings include:
1) Ru11Cu nanosheets with edge-confined copper atoms favored the formation of bi-coordinated oxygen species, providing a lower activation energy barrier for cleaving the C-H bond in methane compared to other sites.
2) This facilitated a one-step selective oxidation of methane to oxygenates like methanol and methyl hydroperoxide with 99% selectivity.
3) Density functional theory calculations supported a mechanism where bi-coordinated oxygen attacked methane to form a methyl radical intermediate.
1) The document discusses how high pressures can modify chemical bonding laws and enable novel materials with unusual properties. Extreme pressures are found in planetary interiors and can lead to new stoichiometries, bonding schemes, and crystal structures.
2) Experiments on nitrogen-hydrogen mixtures showed the formation of novel hydronitrogen compounds through chemical reactions above 47 GPa. These compounds remain metastable upon decompression and may have potential as high energy density materials.
3) A new carbon-nitride material with a β-InS crystal structure was synthesized by laser heating of carbon and nitrogen above 40 GPa. This material is superhard and remains in nearly the predicted stoichiometry upon decompression, though the high pressure

The authors observe stronger saturation of free carrier concentration under high light intensity in the orthorhombic phase compared to the tetragonal phase. They attribute this to weaker Coulomb screening and more difficult exciton dissociation in the orthorhombic phase due to its smaller dielectric constant and larger exciton binding energy. At high excitation intensities and low temperature, they also observe a coherent phonon oscillation with a frequency of 23.4 cm-1 that may contribute
DFT vibrationally averaged isotopic dipole moments of propane, propyne and wa...Antônio Arapiraca
Post Born–Oppenheimer isotopic effects and zero-point vibrational averages were previously inbodied in calculations of the dipole moments of isotopic species of some apolar molecules within the HF-SCF approximation (Arapiraca, 2011) [27]. Many other molecules, however, demand the inclusion of electronic correlation for this goal. Here, DFT calculations are reported for the isotopic effects on dipole moments of molecules with increasing permanent dipole moments, namely propane ( 0.1 debye), propyne (0.7 debye) and water (1.9 debye). The results account well for the experimental values and isotopic trends of the dipole moments of these molecules. 2014 Elsevier
This document summarizes a study investigating the kinetics of the first hole transfer step in the photocatalytic water oxidation reaction at the interface between n-type strontium titanate (n-SrTiO3) and hydroxyl ions (OH-) in water. Using transient optical spectroscopy of a photoelectrochemical cell, the researchers were able to determine the kinetics as a function of the surface hole potential and separate the first hole transfer step from subsequent steps. They found the kinetics followed a single exponential dependence on surface hole potential, with time constants ranging from 3 ns to 8 ps over a 1 V change in potential. This allowed them to quantify the activation barrier for the first hole transfer step and extrapolate the rate constant when

Mass spectrometry is a versatile analytical technique used to characterize molecules through determination of molecular weight, elemental composition, and presence of functional groups. It is used for mechanistic studies of gas-phase ion chemistry, as a detector coupled to chromatography instruments, and integrated into vacuum systems. Mass spectrometry involves the steps of sample introduction, ionization, mass analysis, and ion detection/data analysis.
The document discusses the importance of mathematics in describing ionic solutions, which play a key role in biology. It notes that while chemists have reliable quantitative data on ionic solutions, most theories ignore interactions between ions. This represents an opportunity for new mathematical approaches that can account for these interactions. The document advocates for developing a consistent theoretical framework, like the Energetic Variational Approach, to model ionic solutions in a way that replaces trial and error with computations. This would help provide insights into important biological and chemical processes that occur in ionic solutions.
Resonant Rayleigh Scattering from Collective Molecular ExcitationsbalasubrahmaniyamM
Resonant Rayleigh scattering (RRS) is the pronounced elastic scattering of photons present at the vicinity of the natural resonances of sub-wavelength physical objects such as molecules, which otherwise scatter negligibly. Here, we study RRS from molecular ensembles strongly coupled to an optical microcavity. Under these conditions, the coherent interaction between the molecules and the cavity mode produces collective molecular states known as cavity polaritons and which can drastically modify the properties these molecules. Our spectroscopic measurements reveal that strong RRS occurs at the polaritonic energies, reaching ~25% efficiency. Interestingly, this resonant scattering corresponds to the collective scattering of each photon from a macroscopically-large ensemble of molecules, rather than the scattering by individual ones, as in the usual case. We show that the scattering from the polaritonic states exhibit non trivial behaviors, specifically a linear dependence of the scattering strength on their photonic component. We believe that these observations, together with further investigation, may lead to a deeper understanding of these delocalized, collective molecular excitations, their non-equilibrium transport and the role of disorder in their dynamics.
Reduction of cu o and cu2o with h2 h embedding and kinetics effects in the ...Luciana Pirone
This document summarizes a study that used time-resolved X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations to investigate the reduction of CuO and Cu2O with hydrogen gas. The main findings were:
1) CuO reduces directly to metallic copper without forming intermediate copper suboxides like Cu4O3 or Cu2O under normal hydrogen flow rates.
2) The reduction of CuO is easier than the reduction of Cu2O, with apparent activation energies of 14.5 kcal/mol and 27.4 kcal/mol, respectively.
3) During CuO reduction, the system can reach metastable states and react with hydrogen instead of

Bulk Heterojunction versus Diffused Bilayer: The Role of Device Geometry in Solution p-Doped Polymer-Based Solar Cells
Anna Loiudice, Aurora Rizzo, Mariano Biasiucci, and Giuseppe Gigli
J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 2012, 3 (14), pp 1908–1915
We exploit the effect of molecular p-type doping of P3HT in diffused bilayer (DB) polymer solar cells. In this alternative device geometry, the p-doping is accomplished in solution by blending the F4-TCNQ with P3HT. The p-doping both increases the film conductivity and reduces the potential barrier at the interface with the electrode. This results in an excellent power conversion efficiency of 4.02%, which is an improvement of 48% over the p-doped standard bulk heterojunction (BHJ) device. Combined VOC–light intensity dependence measurements and Kelvin probe force microscopy reveal that the DB device configuration is particularly advantageous, if compared to the conventional BHJ, because it enables optimization of the donor and acceptor layers independently to minimize the effect of trapping and to fully exploit the improved transport properties.

Ag@SiO2 Core–Shell Nanostructures: Distance-Dependent Plasmon Coupling and SERS Investigation J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 2012, 3 (11), pp 1459–1464
Enhancement of Raman signals of pyrene due to the enhanced electric fields on the surface of silver nanoparticles has been investigated by controlling the thickness of the silica shell. Dimeric nanostructures having well-defined gaps between two silver nanoparticles were prepared, and the gap size (d) was varied from 1.5 to 40 nm. The molecules trapped at the dimeric junctions showed higher Raman signal enhancements when the gap was less than 15 nm due to the presence of amplified electric field, in agreement with our theoretical studies. The experimental Raman enhancement factors at the hot spots follow a 1/dn dependence, with n = 1.5, in agreement with the recent theoretical studies by Schatz and co-workers. Experimental results presented here on the distance dependence of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) enhancement at the hot spots can provide insight on the design of newer plasmonic nanostructures with optimal nanogaps.

The Effect of the π-Electron Delocalization Curvature on the Two-Photon Circular Dichroism of Molecules with Axial Chirality
Herein we report on the theoretical-experimental study of the effect of curvature of the π-electron delocalization on the two-photon circular dichroism (TPCD) of a family of optically active biaryl derivatives (S-BINOL, S-VANOL, and S-VAPOL). The comparative analysis of the influence of the different transition moments to their corresponding TPCD rotatory strength reveals an enhanced contribution of the magnetic transition dipole moment on VAPOL. This effect is hereby attributed to the additional twist in the π–electron delocalization on this compound. TPCD measurements were done using the double L-scan technique in the picosecond regime. Theoretical calculations were completed using modern analytical response theory, within a time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) approach, at both, B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP levels, with the aug-cc-pVDZ basis set for S-BINOL and S-VANOL, and 6-31G* for S-VAPOL. Solvent effects were included by means of the polarizable continuum model (PCM) in CH2Cl2.

Atomically Resolved Site-Isolated Catalyst on MgO: Mononuclear Osmium Dicarbonyls formed from Os3(CO)12
Abstract: Supported triosmium clusters, formed from Os3(CO)12 on MgO, were treated in helium at 548 K for 2 h, causing fragmentation of the cluster frame and the formation of mononuclear osmium dicarbonyls. The cluster breakup and the resultant fragmented species were characterized by infrared and X-ray absorption spectroscopies, and the fragmented species were imaged by scanning transmission electron microscopy. The spectra identify the surface osmium complexes as Os(CO)2{Osupport}n (n = 3 or 4) (where the braces denote support surface atoms). The images show site-isolated Os atoms in mononuclear osmium species on MgO. The intensity analysis on the images of the MgO(110) face showed that the Os atoms were located atop Mg columns. This information led to a model of the Os(CO)2 on MgO(110), with the distances approximated as those determined by EXAFS spectroscopy, which are an average over the whole MgO surface; the results imply that these complexes were located at Mg vacancies.

2. Motivations
HO+COHOCOH+CO2 is one of most important combustion reactions.
Previous attempts to elucidate reaction dynamics were hampered by
inaccuracies in potential energy surface.
Accurate quantum dynamics is necessary because of tunneling, but
challenging due to heave atoms and deep wells.
Globally accurate PES:
Base on ~35000

3. Results
Quantum reaction probability (J=0):
Small but monotonically increasing reaction probability.
Enhancement by OH vibrational excitation.
Tunneling important as PQCT<PQM at lower collision energy.
The complex forming reaction experiences bottlenecks in both
entrance and exit channels.

4. Results
Rate constant (J-shifting approximation):
Better agreement with experimental data than that on an earlier
(LTSH) potential energy surface, due apparently to improvement in
potential energy surface
In reasonable agreement with QCT results.

5. Conclusions
Full-dimensional quantum scattering
calculations on the new ab-initio-based HOCO
PES yield a better agreement with experimental
rate constants. They also confirm the promotional
effect of the OH vibrational excitation on the
reactivity and the importance of tunneling in this
reaction. This work paves the way for more
extensive quantum scattering calculations that
would include J > 0 partial waves and possibly
final-state resolution.
