Quantum Numbers

52.4K
It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

The Hall Effect01:30

The Hall Effect

4.5K
Edwin H. Hall, in the year 1879, devised an experiment that could be used to identify the polarity of the predominant charge carriers in a conducting material. From a historical perspective, this experiment was the first to demonstrate that the charge carriers in most metals are negative.

2D NMR: Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation Spectroscopy (HSQC)

1.5K
Heteronuclear single-quantum correlation spectroscopy (HSQC) is a 2D NMR technique that reveals one-bond correlations between hydrogen and a heteronucleus. The HSQC experiment is similar to the heteronuclear correlation experiment (HETCOR) but is more sensitive. In the HSQC spectrum, the proton chemical shift is plotted on the horizontal F2 axis, while the 13C chemical shift is plotted on the vertical F1 axis. The corresponding proton and 13C spectra are also shown. The HSQC contour plot does...

Atomic Radii and Effective Nuclear Charge

62.4K
The elements in groups of the periodic table exhibit similar chemical behavior. This similarity occurs because the members of a group have the same number and distribution of electrons in their valence shells.

Formal Charges02:42

Formal Charges

40.7K
In some cases, there are seemingly more than one valid Lewis structures for molecules and polyatomic ions. The concept of formal charges can be used to help predict the most appropriate Lewis structure when more than one reasonable structure exists.

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom02:45

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

59.8K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Topological Matter

Background:

  • Topological phases of matter are robust against perturbations and described by global topological invariants.
  • The two-dimensional (2D) integer quantum Hall effect is characterized by the first Chern number.
  • Generalizing to four-dimensional (4D) systems introduces a nonlinear response described by the second Chern number.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally observe and demonstrate the quantization of a bulk response with intrinsic 4D topology.
  • To realize a dynamical version of the 4D integer quantum Hall effect.
  • To pave the way for probing higher-dimensional quantum Hall systems.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a 2D topological charge pump using ultracold bosonic atoms in an angled optical superlattice.
  • Characterization of the nonlinear response using in situ imaging.
  • Site-resolved band mapping for full system analysis.

Main Results:

  • Observation of a bulk response with intrinsic 4D topology.
  • Demonstration of the quantization of this response by measuring the second Chern number.
  • Realization of a dynamical 4D integer quantum Hall effect.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides experimental evidence for 4D topological phenomena.
  • Findings open avenues for exploring predicted topological phases, collective excitations, and boundary phenomena in higher dimensions.
  • The experimental approach enables the study of complex quantum systems with potential applications in topological quantum computing.
