The realization of the dipole (γ, γ) method and its application to determine the absolute optical oscillator strengths of helium.

ABSTRACT: The dipole (γ, γ) method, which is the inelastic x-ray scattering operated at a negligibly small momentum transfer, is proposed and realized to determine the absolute optical oscillator strengths of the vanlence-shell excitations of atoms and molecules. Compared with the conventionally used photoabsorption method, this new method is free from the line saturation effect, which can seriously limit the accuracies of the measured photoabsorption cross sections for discrete transitions with narrow natural linewidths. Furthermore, the Bethe-Born conversion factor of the dipole (γ, γ) method varies much more slowly with the excitation energy than does that of the dipole (e, e) method. Absolute optical oscillator strengths for the excitations of 1s(2) → 1 snp(n = 3-7) of atomic helium have been determined using the high-resolution dipole (γ, γ) method, and the excellent agreement of the present measurements with both those measured by the dipole (e, e) method and the previous theoretical calculations indicates that the dipole (γ, γ) method is a powerful tool to measure the absolute optical oscillator strengths of the valence-shell excitations of atoms and molecules.

Experimental realization of one dimensional helium.

Project description:As the spatial dimension is lowered, locally stabilizing interactions are reduced, leading to the emergence of strongly fluctuating phases of matter without classical analogues. Here we report on the experimental observation of a one dimensional quantum liquid of 4He using nanoengineering by confining it within a porous material preplated with a noble gas to enhance dimensional reduction. The resulting excitations of the confined 4He are qualitatively different than bulk superfluid helium, and can be analyzed in terms of a mobile impurity allowing for the characterization of the emergent quantum liquid beyond the Luttinger liquid paradigm. The low dimensional helium system offers the possibility of tuning via pressure-from weakly interacting, all the way to the super Tonks-Girardeau gas of strongly interacting hard-core particles.

Equation-of-Motion MLCCSD and CCSD-in-HF Oscillator Strengths and Their Application to Core Excitations.

Project description:We present an implementation of equation-of-motion oscillator strengths for the multilevel CCSD (MLCCSD) model where CCS is used as the lower level method (CCS/CCSD). In this model, the double excitations of the cluster operator are restricted to an active orbital space, whereas the single excitations are unrestricted. Calculated nitrogen K-edge spectra of adenosine, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and an ATP-water system are used to demonstrate the performance of the model. Projected atomic orbitals (PAOs) are used to partition the virtual space into active and inactive orbital sets. Cholesky decomposition of the Hartree-Fock density is used to partition the occupied orbitals. This Cholesky-PAO partitioning is cheap, scaling as O(N3), and is suitable for the calculation of core excitations, which are localized in character. By restricting the single excitations of the cluster operator to the active space, as well as the double excitations, the CCSD-in-HF model is obtained. A comparison of the two models-MLCCSD and CCSD-in-HF-is presented for the core excitation spectra of the adenosine and ATP systems.

Physical realization of the Glauber quantum oscillator.

Project description:More than thirty years ago Glauber suggested that the link between the reversible microscopic and the irreversible macroscopic world can be formulated in physical terms through an inverted harmonic oscillator describing quantum amplifiers. Further theoretical studies have shown that the paradigm for irreversibility is indeed the reversed harmonic oscillator. As outlined by Glauber, providing experimental evidence of these idealized physical systems could open the way to a variety of fundamental studies, for example to simulate irreversible quantum dynamics and explain the arrow of time. However, supporting experimental evidence of reversed quantized oscillators is lacking. We report the direct observation of exploding n = 0 and n = 2 discrete states and Γ0 and Γ2 quantized decay rates of a reversed harmonic oscillator generated by an optical photothermal nonlinearity. Our results give experimental validation to the main prediction of irreversible quantum mechanics, that is, the existence of states with quantized decay rates. Our results also provide a novel perspective to optical shock-waves, potentially useful for applications as lasers, optical amplifiers, white-light and X-ray generation.

Photonic Crystal Optical Parametric Oscillator.

Project description:We report a new class of Optical Parametric Oscillators, based on a 20μm-long semiconductor Photonic Crystal Cavity and operating at Telecom wavelengths. Because the confinement results from Bragg scattering, the optical cavity contains a few modes, approximately equispaced in frequency. Parametric oscillation is reached when these high Q modes are thermally tuned into a triply resonant configuration, whereas any other parametric interaction is strongly suppressed. The lowest pump power threshold is estimated to 50 - 70μW. This source behaves as an ideal degenerate Optical Parametric Oscillator addressing the needs in the field of quantum optical circuits, paving the way to the dense integration of highly efficient nonlinear sources of squeezed light or entangled photons pairs.

Physical Realization of von Neumann Lattices in Rotating Bose Gases with Dipole Interatomic Interactions.

Project description:This paper reports a novel type of vortex lattice, referred to as a bubble crystal, which was discovered in rapidly rotating Bose gases with long-range interactions. Bubble crystals differ from vortex lattices which possess a single quantum flux per unit cell, while atoms in bubble crystals are clustered periodically and surrounded by vortices. No existing model is able to describe the vortex structure of bubble crystals; however, we identified a mathematical lattice, which is a subset of coherent states and exists periodically in the physical space. This lattice is called a von Neumann lattice, and when it possesses a single vortex per unit cell, it presents the same geometrical structure as an Abrikosov lattice. In this report, we extend the von Neumann lattice to one with an integral number of flux quanta per unit cell and demonstrate that von Neumann lattices well reproduce the translational properties of bubble crystals. Numerical simulations confirm that, as a generalized vortex, a von Neumann lattice can be physically realized using vortex lattices in rapidly rotating Bose gases with dipole interatomic interactions.

Airy beam optical parametric oscillator.

Project description:Airy beam, a non-diffracting waveform, has peculiar properties of self-healing and self-acceleration. Due to such unique properties, the Airy beam finds many applications including curved plasma wave-guiding, micro-particle manipulation, optically mediated particle clearing, long distance communication, and nonlinear frequency conversion. However, many of these applications including laser machining of curved structures, generation of curved plasma channels, guiding of electric discharges in a curved path, study of nonlinear propagation dynamics, and nonlinear interaction demand Airy beam with high power, energy, and wavelength tunability. Till date, none of the Airy beam sources have all these features in a single device. Here, we report a new class of coherent sources based on cubic phase modulation of a singly-resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO), producing high-power, continuous-wave (cw), tunable radiation in 2-D Airy intensity profile existing over a length >2 m. Based on a MgO-doped periodically poled LiNbO3 crystal pumped at 1064 nm, the Airy beam OPO produces output power more than 8 W, and wavelength tunability across 1.51-1.97 μm. This demonstration gives new direction for the development of sources of arbitrary structured beams at any wavelength, power, and energy in all time scales (cw to femtosecond).

Intermolecular associations determine the dynamics of the circadian KaiABC oscillator.

Project description:Three proteins from cyanobacteria (KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC) can reconstitute circadian oscillations in vitro. At least three molecular properties oscillate during this reaction, namely rhythmic phosphorylation of KaiC, ATP hydrolytic activity of KaiC, and assembly/disassembly of intermolecular complexes among KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC. We found that the intermolecular associations determine key dynamic properties of this in vitro oscillator. For example, mutations within KaiB that alter the rates of binding of KaiB to KaiC also predictably modulate the period of the oscillator. Moreover, we show that KaiA can bind stably to complexes of KaiB and hyperphosphorylated KaiC. Modeling simulations indicate that the function of this binding of KaiA to the KaiB*KaiC complex is to inactivate KaiA's activity, thereby promoting the dephosphorylation phase of the reaction. Therefore, we report here dynamics of interaction of KaiA and KaiB with KaiC that determine the period and amplitude of this in vitro oscillator.

Novel Application of the Two-Period Microtracer Approach to Determine Absolute Oral Bioavailability and Fraction Absorbed of Ertugliflozin.

Project description:Ertugliflozin, a sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, is approved in the United States for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A novel two-period study design with 14 C microtracer dosing in each period was used to determine absolute oral bioavailability (F) and fraction absorbed (Fa ) of ertugliflozin. Eight healthy adult men received 100-μg i.v. 14 C-ertugliflozin (400 nCi) dose 1 h after a 15-mg oral unlabeled ertugliflozin dose (period 1), followed by 100 μg 14 C-ertugliflozin orally along with 15 mg oral unlabeled ertugliflozin (period 2). Unlabeled ertugliflozin plasma concentrations were determined using high-performance liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). 14 C-ertugliflozin plasma concentrations were determined using HPLC-accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and 14 C urine concentrations were determined using AMS. F ((area under the curve (AUC)p.o. /14 C-AUCi.v. )*(14 C-Dosei.v. /Dosep.o. )) and Fa ((14 C_Total_Urinep.o. /14 C_Total_Urinei.v. )* (14 C-Dosei.v. /14 C-Dosep.o. )) were estimated. Estimates of F and Fa were 105% and 111%, respectively. Oral absorption of ertugliflozin was complete under fasted conditions and F was ∼100%. Ertugliflozin was well tolerated.

Quantification of transition dipole strengths using 1D and 2D spectroscopy for the identification of molecular structures via exciton delocalization: application to α-helices.

Project description:Vibrational and electronic transition dipole strengths are often good probes of molecular structures, especially in excitonically coupled systems of chromophores. One cannot determine transition dipole strengths using linear spectroscopy unless the concentration is known, which in many cases it is not. In this paper, we report a simple method for measuring transition dipole moments from linear absorption and 2D IR spectra that does not require knowledge of concentrations. Our method is tested on several model compounds and applied to the amide I(') band of a polypeptide in its random coil and α-helical conformation as modulated by the solution temperature. It is often difficult to confidently assign polypeptide and protein secondary structures to random coil or α-helix by linear spectroscopy alone, because they absorb in the same frequency range. We find that the transition dipole strength of the random coil state is 0.12 ± 0.013 D(2), which is similar to a single peptide unit, indicating that the vibrational mode of random coil is localized on a single peptide unit. In an α-helix, the lower bound of transition dipole strength is 0.26 ± 0.03 D(2). When taking into account the angle of the amide I(') transition dipole vector with respect to the helix axis, our measurements indicate that the amide I(') vibrational mode is delocalized across a minimum of 3.5 residues in an α-helix. Thus, one can confidently assign secondary structure based on exciton delocalization through its effect on the transition dipole strength. Our method will be especially useful for kinetically evolving systems, systems with overlapping molecular conformations, and other situations in which concentrations are difficult to determine.

Benzene, Toluene, and Monosubstituted Derivatives: Diabatic Nature of the Oscillator Strengths of S1 ← S0 Transitions.

Project description:For benzene, toluene, aniline, fluorobenzene, and phenol, even sophisticated treatments of electron correlation, such as MRCI and XMS-CASPT2 calculations, show oscillator strengths typically lower than experiment. Inclusion of a simple pseudo-diabatization approach to perturb the S1 state with approximate vibronic coupling to the S2 state for each molecule results in more accurate oscillator strengths. Their absolute values agree better with experiment for all molecules except aniline. When the coupling between the S1 and S2 states is strong at the S0 geometry, the simple diabatization scheme performs less well with respect to the oscillator strengths relative to the adiabatic values. However, we expect the scheme to be useful in many cases where the coupling is weak to moderate (where the maximum component of the coupling has a magnitude less than 1.5 au). Such calculations give an insight into the effects of vibronic coupling of excited states on UV/vis spectra.
