X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

26.3K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Pulse01:16

Pulse

2.2K
When the heart pumps blood out, arterial elastic fibers play a crucial role in sustaining a high-pressure gradient. They expand to accommodate the received blood and then recoil - a process known as the pulse that can be either manually palpated or electronically quantified. Despite a reduction in its effect with increased distance from the heart, elements of the pulse's systolic and diastolic components persist, observable even at the arteriole level.
The pulse serves as a clinical...

Pulse01:05

Pulse

4.2K
The pulse is one of the most fundamental physiological indicators of the body's cardiovascular health. It is the rhythmic expansion and contraction of the arterial walls in response to the pressure generated by the heart's pumping action.
Pulse Rate and its Significance
Pulse rate, often measured in beats per minute (bpm), reflects the heart rate (HR), which is influenced by numerous factors such as stress, physical activity, and hormonal changes. A normal resting adult pulse rate falls...

NMR Spectrometers: Radiofrequency Pulses and Pulse Sequences

1.8K
A pulse is a short burst of radio waves distributed over a range of frequencies that simultaneously excites all the nuclei in the sample. Upon passing a radio frequency pulse along the x-axis, the nuclei absorb energy corresponding to their Larmor frequencies and achieve resonance. This shifts the net magnetization vector from the z-axis toward the transverse plane. This angle of rotation of the magnetization vector, or the flip angle, is proportional to the duration and intensity of the pulse.

Pulse Oximetry01:24

Pulse Oximetry

1.4K
Pulse oximetry, or SpO2, is a non-invasive method for continuously monitoring arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). This procedure involves attaching a probe or sensor to the patient's fingertip, forehead, earlobe, or nose bridge. The sensor works by detecting changes in oxygen saturation levels through light signals generated by the oximeter and reflected by the pulsing blood under the probe.
Purpose
Average SpO2 values are greater than 95%. If the readings fall below 90%, it indicates that...

Regulation of Pulse01:20

Regulation of Pulse

2.3K
Pulse regulation involves physiological mechanisms that ensure adequate blood flow throughout the body. The heartbeat, regulated by the autonomic nervous system, is influenced by hormonal balance, physical activity, and emotional state.

Area of Science:

  • Semiconductor Physics
  • X-ray Science
  • Optical Physics

Background:

  • Hard x-ray absorption in Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) generates electron-hole excitations.

  • To analyze the impact of high x-ray fluences on optical transmission and laser pulse interaction.

Main Methods:

  • Optical transmission measurements on a thin crystalline GaAs wafer.
  • Analysis of x-ray induced band fluorescence spectra.
  • Varying x-ray and laser pulse fluences to observe transmission changes.

Main Results:

  • X-ray induced optical transparency in GaAs was observed and quantified.
  • The degree of transparency is dependent on the recombination dynamics of excited electrons and holes.
  • Amplified spontaneous emission was detected at high x-ray fluences, highlighting the significance of stimulated emission.
  • High laser pulse fluences can lead to quenching of enhanced transmission due to electron-electron interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Stimulated emission is a critical process governing x-ray induced optical transparency in GaAs.
  • Electron-electron interactions play a role in modulating optical transmission under intense laser conditions.
  • Understanding these x-ray-matter interactions is crucial for applications involving pulsed lasers and semiconductors.
