¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)01:20

¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)

1.4K
When proton-coupled carbon-13 spectra are simplified by a broadband proton decoupling technique, structural information about the coupled protons is lost. Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) is a technique that provides information on the number of hydrogens attached to each carbon in a molecule. While the DEPT experiment utilizes complex pulse sequences, the pulse delay and flip angle are specifically manipulated. The resulting signals have different phases depending on...

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Magnetic Moment00:59

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Magnetic Moment

2.6K
All atomic nuclei are positively charged. When they have a nonzero spin, they behave like rotating charges. As a consequence of their charge and spin, these nuclei generate a magnetic field (B). This, in turn, gives rise to a magnetic moment (μ), which is randomly oriented in the absence of an external magnetic field. When an external magnetic field (B0) is applied, the magnetic moment vectors can align with the field or against it in 2 + 1 orientations. A hydrogen nucleus, which is just a...

¹H NMR of Labile Protons: Deuterium (²H) Substitution

1.1K
This lesson illustrates the role of deuterium substitution in simplifying the NMR spectrum of compounds comprising labile protons. One method employed is the use of deuterium. Amongst the three isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium (2H) has a nucleus composed of one proton and one neutron. When the D2O solvent is added to a pure dry ethanol solution, its labile proton is substituted with deuterium.

Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects

1.1K
In an NMR sample, precise measurement of the absolute absorption frequencies of nuclei is difficult. A standard internal reference compound is added, and the frequency difference between the reference signal and sample signals is measured.
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (NOE)01:07

Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement (NOE)

1.1K
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...

Mass Analyzers: Common Types01:19

Mass Analyzers: Common Types

1.1K
The quadrupole mass analyzer consists of four cylindrical metal rods arranged in a diamond carrying a DC voltage and a radio-frequency AC voltage. The motion of ions through the quadrupole depends on the field strength, causing only ions of a certain m/z to resonate successfully and strike the detector at a given field strength. Though the transmission rate for these analyzers is high, the exact elemental composition of the sample is not determined because of low resolution; however, they are...

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Physics
  • Electromagnetic Interactions
  • Deuteron Structure

Background:

  • Understanding the deuteron's internal structure is crucial for nuclear physics.
  • Previous measurements of ^{2}H(e,e^{'}p)n cross sections provided limited data at higher neutron recoil momenta.
  • The plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) is a theoretical framework used to describe electron scattering from nuclei.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure ^{2}H(e,e^{'}p)n cross sections at high 4-momentum transfer (Q^{2}=4.5±0.5 (GeV/c)^{2}).
  • To extend measurements to higher neutron recoil momenta (p_{r} up to ∼1.0 GeV/c) and specific angles (θ_{nq}=35°, 45°, and 75°).
  • To compare experimental data with theoretical calculations, including PWIA, final state interactions, meson exchange currents, and isobar currents.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental measurement of electron-deuteron scattering cross sections using a high-momentum transfer.
  • Data acquisition at fixed neutron recoil angles relative to the momentum transfer.
  • Comparison of experimental results with theoretical models.

Main Results:

  • New cross section data were obtained for neutron recoil momenta up to ∼1.0 GeV/c, consistent with previous measurements up to ∼500 MeV/c.
  • At θ_{nq}=35° and 45°, PWIA was found to be the dominant contribution to the cross section due to suppressed final state interactions and other effects.
  • A significant discrepancy was observed between the new data and recent theoretical calculations for neutron recoil momenta exceeding 700 MeV/c.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides valuable experimental data for ^{2}H(e,e^{'}p)n cross sections at high momentum transfer and recoil momenta.
  • The results highlight limitations of current theoretical models in describing deuteron structure at high momentum transfers.
  • Further theoretical developments are needed to reconcile the observed discrepancies, particularly concerning contributions beyond the PWIA.
