Chemically induced dynamic electron polarization (CIDEP) generated
through interaction of the excited triplet
state of 1-chloronaphthalene, benzophenone, benzil, and
Buckminsterfullerene (C60) with
2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxyl (TEMPO) radical was investigated by using
time-resolved ESR spectroscopy. We carefully
examined what factors affect the CIDEP intensities. By comparing
CIDEP intensities of TEMPO in the
1-chloronaphthalene, benzophenone, and benzil systems with that
obtained in the C60−TEMPO system, the
absolute magnitude of net emissive polarization was determined to be
−2.2, −6.9, and −8.0, respectively, in
the units of Boltzmann polarization. In the
1-chloronaphthalene−TEMPO system, the viscosity effect on
the
magnitude of net polarization was studied by changing the temperature
(226−275 K) in 2-propanol. The
emissive polarization was concluded to result from the state mixing
between quartet and doublet manifolds
in a radical−triplet pair induced by the zero-field splitting
interaction of the counter triplet molecule. The
magnitude of net polarization is much larger than the polarization
calculated with the reported theory that the
CIDEP is predominantly generated in the region where the exchange
interaction is smaller than the Zeeman
energy. Our experimental results are quantitatively explained by
the theory that the CIDEP is generated
predominantly in the regions where the quartet and doublet levels
cross. We propose a theoretical treatment
to calculate the magnitude of net polarization generated by the level
crossings in the radical−triplet pair
mechanism under highly viscous conditions and perform a numerical
analysis of the net RTPM polarization
with the stochastic-Liouville equation. The viscosity dependence
of the net polarization indicates that the
back transition from the doublet to quartet states sufficiently occurs
in the level-crossing region under highly
viscous conditions. The estimated large exchange interaction
suggests that the quenching of the excited
triplet molecules by TEMPO proceeds via the electron exchange
interaction.
The cross section of 12 C+ 12 C fusion reactions determines the conditions of carbon ignition in stars. The presence of structures, which are likely to extend to low energies, makes the extrapolation of data collected at high energy to the stellar energy difficult and potentially inaccurate, so a direct measurement is desirable. Here we report on an extremely improbable two-step background process which prohibits the measurement of the 12 C(12 C,p) 23 Na carbon fusion reaction at low energies in the presence of deuterium contamination. It appears that with a modified setup and selected targets reliable measurements down to E cm =2.0 MeV are possible.. 11th Symposium on Nuclei in the Cosmos-NIC XI
A 20‐inch, largest OLED display in the world is demonstrated which is driven by “Super Amorphous Silicon” technology. It has been widely believed that the characteristics of amorphous silicon TFT is not sufficient to drive OLED display. This paper turns over the hypothesis to prove that amorphous silicon can be applied to the large active‐matrix driven displays. Novel approaches to enable amorphous silicon to drive bright and long life OLED display are shown to open a bright future to realize larger OLED televisions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
