  • Distinction of Nuclear Spin States with the Scanning Tunneling Microscope
    Distinction of Nuclear Spin States with the Scanning Tunneling Microscope Fabian Donat Natterer, Fran¸coisPatthey, and Harald Brune Institute of Condensed Matter Physics (ICMP), Ecole Polytechnique F´ed´erale de Lausanne (EPFL), Station 3, CH-1015 Lausanne We demonstrate rotational excitation spectroscopy with the scanning tunneling microscope for physisorbed H2 and its isotopes HD and D2. The observed excitation energies are very close to the gas phase values and show the expected scaling with moment of inertia. Since these energies are characteristic for the molecular nuclear spin states we are able to identify the para and ortho species of hydrogen and deuterium, respectively. We thereby demonstrate nuclear spin sensitivity with unprecedented spatial resolution. PACS numbers: 67.63.Cd, 67.80.ff, 67.80.F-, 33.20.Sn, 21.10.Hw, 68.43.-h, 68.37.Ef Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) (a) 15 Å (b) 15 Å probes the energies of atomic and molecular excitations in a tunnel junction. When the electron energy reaches the excitation threshold, a new conductance channel opens, leading to a step in the differential conductance (dI=dV ). IETS measurements were first carried out in planar tunnel junctions probing vibrations [1] and mag- netic excitations [2] of large ensembles of molecules or atoms. A major breakthrough was achieved when per- forming IETS with the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). This has first been demonstrated for molecu- lar vibrations [3], identifying the molecules and their isotopes [4]. A few years later, this was followed by spin-excitations, revealing the Land´e g-factor, effective spin moment, and magnetic anisotropy energy [5,6].

  • SQUID-Based Ultralow-Field MRI of a Hyperpolarized Material Using
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN SQUID-based ultralow-feld MRI of a hyperpolarized material using signal amplifcation by reversible Received: 4 April 2019 Accepted: 12 August 2019 exchange Published: xx xx xxxx Seong-Joo Lee1, Keunhong Jeong2, Jeong Hyun Shim1,3, Hyun Joon Lee1,5, Sein Min4, Heelim Chae4, Sung Keon Namgoong4 & Kiwoong Kim1,3 The signal amplifcation by reversible exchange (SABRE) technique is a very promising method for increasing magnetic resonance (MR) signals. SABRE can play a particularly large role in studies with a low or ultralow magnetic feld because they sufer from a low signal-to-noise ratio. In this work, we conducted real-time superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)-based nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies in a microtesla-range magnetic feld using the SABRE technique after designing a bubble-separated phantom. A maximum enhancement of 2658 for 1H was obtained for pyridine in the SABRE-NMR experiment. A clear SABRE-enhanced MR image of the bubble-separated phantom, in which the para-hydrogen gas was bubbling at only the margin, was successfully obtained at 34.3 μT. The results show that SABRE can be successfully incorporated into an ultralow-feld MRI system, which enables new SQUID-based MRI applications. SABRE can shorten the MRI operation time by more than 6 orders of magnitude and establish a frm basis for future low-feld MRI applications. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is usually carried out in a strong magnetic feld because of the Zeeman efect. Because the signal intensity depends on the population diference between nuclei in the upper and lower energy states, which is proportional to the strength of the applied magnetic feld, the magnetic resonance (MR) signal intensities will be considerably higher on instruments with more powerful magnets.

  • Prototype Model for Nuclear Spin Conversion in Molecules: the Case of ”Hydrogen”
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CERN Document Server Prototype model for nuclear spin conversion in molecules: The case of "hydrogen". L.V.Il’ichov ∗ Institute of Automation and Electrometry SB RAS, Novosibirsk State University, Novosibirsk 630090, Russian Federation Abstract Using the conception of the so-called quantum relaxation, we build a semiphenomenolog- ical model for ortho-para conversion of nuclear spin isomers of hydrogen-type molecule. Keywords: Quantum relaxation; Nuclear spin conversion; Kinetic operator. PACS: 02.70.Ns, 31.15.Qg, 33.25.+k 1 Introduction Recently an idea was proposed [1] and proved [2-4] that the combined action of intramolecular 13 dynamics and environment could account for conversion of nuclear spin modifications of CH3F. One may assume the same conversion mechanism for other molecules. This mechanism resides in the following. The intramolecular Hamiltonian is nondiagonal with respect to definite total nuclear spin I. That implies the nutations between molecular states with various I values. The role of the environment is in the braking of nutation’s phase. Therefore the environment alone does not initiate transitions with nuclear spin value changing, but, destructing quantum coherence, the environment brakes the reversibility of nutations. It is remarkable that no cross-section can be ascribed to such a conversion way, which makes pointing a classic analogy to this quantum process rather problematic. For this reason, we name it quantum relaxation. The known phenomena of enantiomers conversion [5], decay of neutral kaons [6], and neutrino oscillations [7] are other examples of quantum relaxation.

  • E Shoemake , C Bunge , J Leachman
    Design and experimental measurements of a Heisenberg Vortex Tube for hydrogen cooling E Shoemake1, C Bunge2, J Leachman3 HYdrogen Properties for Energy Research (HYPER) Laboratory, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164-2920 USA C2PoF [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Motivation Ten hydrogen liquefaction facilities produce hydrogen in North America1. The increased mass per delivery of liquid hydrogen is likely to become increasingly important as automotive hydrogen refueling stations see increased utilization. The cost to produce and deliver liquid hydrogen varies based on location and the delivery costs can be 3-4 times the production costs. To address these needs, the Department of Energy has specified the following targets for hydrogen liquefaction:2 1.improving liquefaction cycle efficiencies from a figure of merit (FOM) of 0.35 to >0.5, 2. lowering liquefier capital costs below $2.5 million/tonne per day, and achieving these metrics in systems as small as 5 MTPD. Ranque-Hilsch Vortex Tube Spin Isomers of Hydrogen and their Catalysis In the vortex tube, injected compressed gas forms a vortex. The outer fluid of this vortex flows toward one exit and core back past the injector through the other exit. 1. Radial change in pressure promotes temperature drop in core. 2. Heat pumping from the cold core to the hot occurs due to viscous work streaming between the streams. 3. More complications arise from frictional heating, turbulence, recirculation, etc. Experimental Design Hydrogen exists in two quantum states: orthohydrogen, where quantum spin state of each hydrogen atom in the molecule is aligned; and parahydrogen, where the hydrogen atoms have differing quantum spin states.

  • (50 Bar) Liquid-Nitrogen-Cooled Parahydrogen Generator Mr-2
    Answers to comments Open-source, partially 3D-printed, high-pressure (50 bar) liquid-nitrogen-cooled parahydrogen generator mr-2020-27 Frowin Ellermann et al. December 14th, 2020 1 SC1: Igor Koptyug Referee comment: From the title, I had an impression that the generator or at least its essential parts were 3D-printed, which, as I found later, was not the case. I believe it may be a good idea to refine the paper title. Answer: We understand that the title could be misleading and to avoid it the new title reads as ”Open-source, partially 3D-printed, high-pressure (50 bar) liquid-nitrogen-cooled parahydrogen generator” Referee comment: As always, I’m advocating the spelling of ”parahy- drogen” and ”orthohydrogen” as single words without a dash, which I believe is the only correct way to spell them (cf. paratrooper, parabola, orthophos- phoric acid; also in dictionaries, e.g.,https://www.thefreedictionary.com/ parahydrogen). Answer: We understand your point and removed the dash. Additionally, we stick to the non-italic form. Old text: ”para-hydrogen” New text: ”parahydrogen” throughout the text Referee comment: The word ”allotrope” in the reference to parahy- drogen is acceptable in the historic context, but in fact is incorrect. By definition, allotropy is the existence of a chemical element in two or more forms, which may differ in the arrangement of atoms in crystalline solids or in the occurrence of molecules that contain different numbers of atoms (e.g., graphite, charcoal, diamond, fullerenes). Parahydrogen is this not an allotropic form of H2 but rather its nuclear spinisomer.

Out of the total fuel consumed approximately 25 – 30 % of this energy is wasted. Today‘s hydrocarbon fuel leaves a natural deposit of carbon residue that clogs carburetor, fuel injector, leading to reduced efficiency and waste of fuel. Pinging, stalling, loss of horse power and greatly decreased mileage in cars are very noticeable. The same is true of home heating units where improper combustion leads to wasted fuel (gas) and cost, money in poor efficiency and repairs due to build up carbon deposit. Most fuels for internal combustion engine are liquid. Fuels do not combust until they are vaporized and mixed with air. Most emission motor vehicle consists of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen. Unburned hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen react in the atmosphere and smog.
