Molecular and Ionic Solids02:54

Molecular and Ionic Solids

20.3K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Atomic Spectroscopy: Effects of Temperature

953
Atomization, converting samples into gas-phase atoms and ions, is essential for atomic spectroscopy. The flame temperature required for atomization affects the efficiency of the atomic spectroscopic methods by increasing the atomization efficiency and the relative population of the excited and ground states.
At thermal equilibrium, the relative populations of excited and ground state atoms can be estimated using the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution. For example, an increase in temperature...

Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (NOE)

1.5K
Irradiation of a spin-active nucleus causes an increase or decrease in the signal intensity of neighboring nuclei that are not necessarily chemically bonded or involved in J-coupling. This phenomenon, called the nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE), results from through-space interactions between the nuclear spins. The NOE effect decreases with increasing internuclear distance and is generally not observed beyond 4 angstroms. In NOE, dipole-dipole interactions between neighboring spin-active...

Superconductor01:24

Superconductor

1.8K
A substance that reaches superconductivity, a state in which magnetic fields cannot penetrate, and there is no electrical resistance, is referred to as a superconductor. In 1911, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes of Leiden University, a Dutch physicist, observed a relation between the temperature and the resistance of the element mercury. The mercury sample was then cooled in liquid helium to study the linear dependence of resistance on temperature. It was observed that, as the temperature decreased, the...

Current Density01:21

Current Density

5.2K
The total amount of current flowing through one unit value of a cross-sectional area is referred to as current density. If the current flow is uniform, the amount of current flowing through a conductor is the same at all points along the conductor, even if the conductor area varies. The current density consists of the local magnitude and direction of the charge flow, which varies from point to point. Current density is measured in amperes per meter square, and direction is defined as the net...

Common Ion Effect03:24

Common Ion Effect

47.1K
Compared with pure water, the solubility of an ionic compound is less in aqueous solutions containing a common ion (one also produced by dissolution of the ionic compound). This is an example of a phenomenon known as the common ion effect, which is a consequence of the law of mass action that may be explained using Le Châtelier’s principle. Consider the dissolution of silver iodide:

Area of Science:

  • Solid-state physics
  • Magnetic resonance
  • Quantum chemistry

Background:

  • Overhauser effects enable proton polarization in non-conducting solids via microwave irradiation.
  • Previous observations were limited to magic angle spinning conditions and higher temperatures (approx. 100 K).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate Overhauser effects in static samples at lower temperatures.
  • To explore a different dynamic regime for Overhauser effects in BDPA-doped solids.
  • To provide new mechanistic insights into proton polarization in non-conducting materials.

Main Methods:

  • Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.
  • Overhauser effect measurements in static samples.
  • Variable temperature and variable magnetic field studies.

Main Results:

  • Overhauser effects were observed in static samples at 6.7 T and temperatures as low as 1.2 K.
  • The observed effects occur in a distinct dynamic regime compared to previous studies.
  • The findings suggest new possibilities for proton polarization mechanisms at cryogenic temperatures.

Conclusions:

  • Proton polarization via Overhauser effects is achievable in static, non-conducting solids at very low temperatures.
  • The results expand the understanding of the Overhauser effect mechanism in solid-state systems.
  • Further investigation into fluctuation origins is warranted for low-temperature Overhauser effects.
