Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Radiation and Light Sources01:13

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy: Radiation and Light Sources

1.2K
Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) relies on the Beer-Lambert law, which requires that the radiation source emits a narrow range of wavelengths to match the absorption characteristics of the analyte atom. The primary criteria for choosing an appropriate radiation source in AAS is to provide a precise and intense emission at specific wavelengths that will allow accurate detection of the analyte.
Two common narrow-range 'line' sources used in AAS are hollow-cathode lamps (HCLs) and...

Atomic Mass

70.1K
Atoms — and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them — are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × 10−23 g. When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then later in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which...

Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

3.1K
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Atomic Orbitals02:44

Atomic Orbitals

43.9K
An atomic orbital represents the three-dimensional regions in an atom where an electron has the highest probability to reside. The radial distribution function indicates the total probability of finding an electron within the thin shell at a distance r from the nucleus. The atomic orbitals have distinct shapes which are determined by l, the angular momentum quantum number. The orbitals are often drawn with a boundary surface, enclosing densest regions of the cloud.

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I03:24

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

67.3K
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Area of Science:

  • Atomic physics
  • Quantum optics
  • Condensed matter physics

Background:

  • Cold atomic gases in optical cavities exhibit complex emergent orders.
  • Competing orders, like density waves (DW), can hinder desired quantum phenomena.
  • Understanding dynamical control is crucial for manipulating quantum states.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate light-induced coherence formation in a cold atomic gas.
  • To investigate the suppression of competing density wave order.
  • To establish a principle for dynamical control of competing orders.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a cold atomic gas system within an optical cavity.
  • Pumping the gas with an external optical standing wave to induce interactions.
  • Applying light-induced temporal modulation to the pump wave.

Main Results:

  • A density wave (DW) order was induced above a critical pump strength.
  • Light-induced temporal modulation successfully suppressed the DW order.
  • Coherence was restored in the atomic gas system.

Conclusions:

  • Dynamical control of competing orders can be achieved using light modulation.
  • This principle provides an analogy for light-induced superconductivity mechanisms.
  • The study establishes a foundational method for controlling quantum states in atomic systems.
