Energy calibration issues in nuclear resonant vibrational spectroscopy: observing small spectral shifts and making fast calibrations.

ABSTRACT: The conventional energy calibration for nuclear resonant vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) is usually long. Meanwhile, taking NRVS samples out of the cryostat increases the chance of sample damage, which makes it impossible to carry out an energy calibration during one NRVS measurement. In this study, by manipulating the 14.4 keV beam through the main measurement chamber without moving out the NRVS sample, two alternative calibration procedures have been proposed and established: (i) an in situ calibration procedure, which measures the main NRVS sample at stage A and the calibration sample at stage B simultaneously, and calibrates the energies for observing extremely small spectral shifts; for example, the 0.3 meV energy shift between the 100%-(57)Fe-enriched [Fe4S4Cl4](=) and 10%-(57)Fe and 90%-(54)Fe labeled [Fe4S4Cl4](=) has been well resolved; (ii) a quick-switching energy calibration procedure, which reduces each calibration time from 3-4 h to about 30 min. Although the quick-switching calibration is not in situ, it is suitable for normal NRVS measurements.

Phase transitions and spectral shifts: a quantum mechanical exploration of vibrational frequency in magnesium ferrite.

Project description:Spinel ferrites represent an integral subset of magnetic materials, with their inherent properties largely influenced by cation occupancy and spin interaction. In this study, we present an in-depth theoretical exploration of the phase transition landscape of pure magnesium-ferrite, deploying hybrid functionals and a local Gaussian basis set to scrutinize the relaxed lattice structure, relative energy, magnetic properties, electronic characteristics, and vibrational frequencies. Our investigation reveals that the ground state of magnesium-ferrite is an open-shell system with an inverse structure. This is characterized by the complete occupancy of octahedral sites by magnesium atoms, with Iron atoms dispersed between both tetrahedral and octahedral sites. We found a relative energy difference of 0.41 eV between the antiferromagnetic ground configuration and the ferro arrangement within the inverse structure. Furthermore, our research also delved into the impact of spin rearrangement and inversion (X = 0.0, 0.5 and 1) on Raman and infrared spectra. Notably, the lattice distortion from the cubic form, apparent in the optimized structure, resonates in the IR and Raman spectra, resulting in significant splitting. The frequencies calculated in this study align well with experimental values, suggesting that the literature's current assignments warrant reevaluation in light of this new data. The results presented herein can be instrumental in detecting the phase of Mg ferrites from experimental spectra, thereby paving the way for a more profound comprehension of their properties and possible uses.

Resonant catalysis of thermally activated chemical reactions with vibrational polaritons.

Project description:Interaction between light and matter results in new quantum states whose energetics can modify chemical kinetics. In the regime of ensemble vibrational strong coupling (VSC), a macroscopic number [Formula: see text] of molecular transitions couple to each resonant cavity mode, yielding two hybrid light-matter (polariton) modes and a reservoir of [Formula: see text] dark states whose chemical dynamics are essentially those of the bare molecules. This fact is seemingly in opposition to the recently reported modification of thermally activated ground electronic state reactions under VSC. Here we provide a VSC Marcus-Levich-Jortner electron transfer model that potentially addresses this paradox: although entropy favors the transit through dark-state channels, the chemical kinetics can be dictated by a few polaritonic channels with smaller activation energies. The effects of catalytic VSC are maximal at light-matter resonance, in agreement with experimental observations.

Selective gating to vibrational modes through resonant X-ray scattering.

Project description:The dynamics of fragmentation and vibration of molecular systems with a large number of coupled degrees of freedom are key aspects for understanding chemical reactivity and properties. Here we present a resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) study to show how it is possible to break down such a complex multidimensional problem into elementary components. Local multimode nuclear wave packets created by X-ray excitation to different core-excited potential energy surfaces (PESs) will act as spatial gates to selectively probe the particular ground-state vibrational modes and, hence, the PES along these modes. We demonstrate this principle by combining ultra-high resolution RIXS measurements for gas-phase water with state-of-the-art simulations.

Observation of vibrational overtones by single-molecule resonant photodissociation.

Project description:Molecular ions can be held in a chain of laser-cooled atomic ions by sympathetic cooling. This system is ideal for performing high-precision molecular spectroscopy with applications in astrochemistry and fundamental physics. Here we show that this same system can be coupled with a broadband laser to discover new molecular transitions. We use three-ion chains of Ca(+) and CaH(+) to observe vibrational transitions via resonance-enhanced multiphoton dissociation detected by Ca(+) fluorescence. On the basis of theoretical calculations, we assign the observed peaks to the transition from the ground vibrational state, ν=0 to ν=9 and 10. Our method allows us to track single-molecular events, and it can be extended to work with any molecule by using normal mode frequency shifts to detect the dissociation. This survey spectroscopy serves as a bridge to the precision spectroscopy required for molecular ion control.

Fast frequency relocking for synchronization enhanced resonant accelerometer

Project description:Synchronization, as a unique phenomenon, has been extensively studied in biology, chaotic systems, nonlinear dynamics, quantum information, and other fields. Benefiting from the characteristics of frequency amplification, noise suppression, and stability improvement, synchronization has been gradually applied in sensing, communication, time keeping, and other applications. In the sensing field, synchronization provides a new strategy to improve the performance of sensors. However, the performance improvement is only effective within the synchronization range, and the narrow synchronization range has become a great challenge for the wide application of synchronization-enhanced sensing mechanism. Here, we propose a frequency automatic tracking system (FATS) to widen the synchronization range and track the periodic acceleration signals by adjusting the frequency of the readout oscillator in real time. In addition, a high-precision frequency measurement system and fast response control system based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) are built, and the tracking performance of the FATS for static and dynamic external signals is analyzed to obtain the optimal control parameters. Experimental results show that the proposed automatic tracking system is capable of static acceleration measurement, the synchronization range can be expanded to 975 Hz, and the relocking time is shortened to 93.4 ms at best. By selecting the optimal PID parameters, we achieve a faster relocking time to meet the requirements of low-frequency vibration measurements, such as seismic detection and tidal monitoring.

Vibrational frequency shifts and relaxation rates for a selected vibrational mode in cytochrome C.

Project description:The vibrational energy relaxation of a selected vibrational mode in cytochrome c--a C-D stretch in the terminal methyl group of Met80--has been studied using equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation and normal mode analysis methods. As demonstrated in the pioneering work of Romesberg and co-workers, isotopic labeling of the C-H (to C-D) stretch in alkyl side chains shifts the stretching frequency to the transparent region of the protein's density of states, making it an effective and versatile probe of protein structure and dynamics. Molecular dynamics trajectories of solvated cytochrome c were run at 300 K, and vibrational population relaxation times were estimated using the classical Landau-Teller-Zwanzig model and a number of semiclassical theories of resonant and two-phonon vibrational relaxation processes. The C-D stretch vibrational population relaxation time is estimated to be T(1) = 14-40 ps; the relatively close agreement between various semiclassical estimates of T(1) lends support to the applicability of those expressions. Normal mode calculations were used to identify the dominant coupling between the protein and C-D oscillator. All bath modes strongly coupled to the C-D stretch are in close proximity. Angle bending modes in the terminal methyl group of Met80 appear to be the most likely acceptor modes defining the mechanism of population relaxation of the C-D vibration.

Reduced Near-Resonant Vibrational Coupling at the Surfaces of Liquid Water and Ice.

Project description:We study the resonant interaction of the OH stretch vibrations of water molecules at the surfaces of liquid water and ice using heterodyne-detected sum-frequency generation (HD-SFG) spectroscopy. By studying different isotopic mixtures of H2O and D2O, we vary the strength of the interaction, and we monitor the resulting effect on the HD-SFG spectrum of the OH stretch vibrations. We observe that the near-resonant coupling effects are weaker at the surface than in the bulk, for both water and ice, indicating that for both phases of water the OH vibrations are less strongly delocalized at the surface than in the bulk.

Multi-channel electronic and vibrational dynamics in polyatomic resonant high-order harmonic generation.

Project description:High-order harmonic generation in polyatomic molecules generally involves multiple channels of ionization. Their relative contribution can be strongly influenced by the presence of resonances, whose assignment remains a major challenge for high-harmonic spectroscopy. Here we present a multi-modal approach for the investigation of unaligned polyatomic molecules, using SF6 as an example. We combine methods from extreme-ultraviolet spectroscopy, above-threshold ionization and attosecond metrology. Fragment-resolved above-threshold ionization measurements reveal that strong-field ionization opens at least three channels. A shape resonance in one of them is found to dominate the signal in the 20-26 eV range. This resonance induces a phase jump in the harmonic emission, a switch in the polarization state and different dynamical responses to molecular vibrations. This study demonstrates a method for extending high-harmonic spectroscopy to polyatomic molecules, where complex attosecond dynamics are expected.

Resonant scanning design and control for fast spatial sampling.

Project description:Two-dimensional, resonant scanners have been utilized in a large variety of imaging modules due to their compact form, low power consumption, large angular range, and high speed. However, resonant scanners have problems with non-optimal and inflexible scanning patterns and inherent phase uncertainty, which limit practical applications. Here we propose methods for optimized design and control of the scanning trajectory of two-dimensional resonant scanners under various physical constraints, including high frame-rate and limited actuation amplitude. First, we propose an analytical design rule for uniform spatial sampling. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that by expanding the design space, the proposed designs outperform previous designs in terms of scanning range and fill factor. Second, we show that we can create flexible scanning patterns that allow focusing on user-defined Regions-of-Interest (RoI) by modulation of the scanning parameters. The scanning parameters are found by an optimization algorithm. In simulations, we demonstrate the benefits of these designs with standard metrics and higher-level computer vision tasks (LiDAR odometry and 3D object detection). Finally, we experimentally implement and verify both unmodulated and modulated scanning modes using a two-dimensional, resonant MEMS scanner. Central to the implementations is high bandwidth monitoring of the phase of the angular scans in both dimensions. This task is carried out with a position-sensitive photodetector combined with high-bandwidth electronics, enabling fast spatial sampling at [Formula: see text] Hz frame-rate.

Inkjet-printed micro-calibration standards for ultraquantitative Raman spectral cytometry.

Project description:Herein we report the development of a cytometric analysis platform for measuring the contents of individual cells in absolute (picogram) scales; this study represents the first report of Raman-based quantitation of the absolute mass - or the total amount - of multiple endogenous biomolecules within single-cells. To enable ultraquantitative calibration, we engineered single-cell-sized micro-calibration standards of known composition by inkjet-printer deposition of biomolecular components in microarrays across the surface of silicon chips. We demonstrate clinical feasibility by characterizing the compositional phenotype of human skin fibroblast and porcine alveolar macrophage cell populations in the respective contexts of Niemann-Pick disease and drug-induced phospholipidosis: two types of lipid storage disorders. We envision this microanalytical platform as the foundation for many future biomedical applications, ranging from diagnostic assays to pathological analysis to advanced pharmaco/toxicokinetic research studies.
