Atomic Spectroscopy: Effects of Temperature

324
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...

Double Resonance Techniques: Overview

197
Double resonance techniques in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy involve the simultaneous application of two different frequencies or radiofrequency pulses to manipulate and observe two distinct nuclear spins. One important application of double resonance is spin decoupling, which selectively suppresses coupling with one type of nucleus while observing the NMR signal from another nucleus, simplifying the spectrum and enhancing resolution.
Spin decoupling is usually achieved by...

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Spin State Population Distribution

971
Near absolute zero temperatures, in the presence of a magnetic field, the majority of nuclei prefer the lower energy spin-up state to the higher energy spin-down state. As temperatures increase, the energy from thermal collisions distributes the spins more equally between the two states. The Boltzmann distribution equation gives the ratio of the number of spins predicted in the spin −½ (N−) and spin +½ (N+) states.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Thermodynamics

Background:

  • Accurate internal temperature measurement is vital for controlling dynamic processes.
  • Existing techniques like laser-based and phase-contrast imaging thermography cannot measure internal element temperatures.
  • Neutron resonance absorption (NRA) offers a potential solution for internal thermometry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a method for measuring the temperature of internal elements or isotopes within an object.
  • To utilize laser-induced neutron pulses for element-sensitive thermometry.
  • To validate the method by measuring the temperature of a tantalum foil.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized neutron resonance absorption (NRA) with a single, short neutron pulse (approx. 100 ns) generated by a high-power laser.
  • Performed temperature measurements on a tantalum (Ta) metallic foil heated from room temperature to 617 K.
  • Employed a silver (Ag) foil at room temperature as a reference for calibrating Doppler broadening.

Main Results:

  • Successfully demonstrated temperature measurements of a tantalum foil up to 617 K.
  • Observed and analyzed the temperature dependence of resonance Doppler broadening, despite shot-to-shot neutron energy resolution fluctuations.
  • Validated the experimental results using a free gas model, which showed good agreement.

Conclusions:

  • The developed NRA method enables element- and isotope-sensitive thermometry.
  • This technique can detect instantaneous temperature rises in dynamic processes.
  • The method provides a breakthrough for non-invasive internal temperature measurements in materials.
