Dependence Of Relaxation Rate Research Articles

Molecular mobility of thin films of poly(bisphenol-A carbonate) capped and with one free surface: from bulk-like samples down to the adsorbed layer.

The molecular mobility of thin films of poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (PBAC) was systematically investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy, employing two distinct electrode configurations. First, films were prepared in a capped geometry between aluminum electrodes employing a crossed electrode capacitor (CEC) configuration, down to film thicknesses of 40 nm. The Vogel temperature, derived from the temperature dependence of relaxation rates of the α-relaxation, increases with decreasing film thickness characterized by an onset thickness. The onset thickness depends on the annealing conditions, with less intense annealing yielding a lower onset thickness. Additionally, a broadening of the β-relaxation peak was observed with decreasing thickness, attributed to the interaction of phenyl groups with thermally evaporated aluminum, resulting in a shift of certain relaxation modes to higher temperatures relative to the bulk material. A novel phenomenon, termed the slow Arrhenius process (SAP), was also identified in proximity to the α-relaxation temperature. For films with thicknesses below 40 nm, nanostructured electrodes (NSE) were utilized, incorporating nanostructured silica spacers to establish a free surface with air. This free surface causes an enhancement in the molecular mobility for the 40 nm sample, preserving the β-relaxation as a distinct peak. The α-relaxation was detectable in the dielectric loss down to 18 nm, shifting to higher temperatures as film thickness is decreased. Notably, the onset thickness for the increase in Vogel temperature was lower in the NSE configuration compared to the CEC setup, attributed to the presence of the polymer-air interface.

Shot-noise-induced lower temperature limit of the nonneutral plasma parallel temperature diagnostic

We develop a new algorithm to estimate the temperature of a nonneutral plasma in a Penning-Malmberg trap. The algorithm analyzes data obtained by slowly lowering a voltage that confines one end of the plasma and collecting escaping charges, and is a maximum likelihood estimator based on a physically-motivated model of the escape protocol presented in (Beck in Measurement of the magnetic and temperature dependence of the electron-electron anisotropic temperature relaxation rate. PhD thesis, 1990). Significantly, our algorithm may be used on single-count data, allowing for improved fits with low numbers of escaping electrons. This is important for low-temperature plasmas such as those used in antihydrogen trapping. We perform a Monte Carlo simulation of our algorithm, and assess its robustness to intrinsic shot noise and external noise. The assumptions in this paper allow for a lower bound for measurable plasma temperatures of approximately 3K for plasmas of length 1cm, with approximately 100 particle counts needed for an accuracy of ±10%.

Line-shape parameters of the oxygen first rotational triplet

A lines shape of the first triplet of rotational band of oxygen molecule was studied beyond the Voigt profile in the framework of the quadratic approximation of speed dependence of collision relaxation rate. Recordings of the lines broadened by O2 and N2 were obtained at room temperature using two fundamentally different spectrometers, in particular, a video spectrometer and a spectrometer with radio-acoustic detection of absorption. A set of line-shape parameters was determined based on the line recording analysis. Data accuracy and reliability was evaluated from a comparative analysis of the parameters obtained from different techniques and with previous data.

Deuterium spin relaxation of fractionally deuterated ribonuclease H using paired 475 and 950MHz NMR spectrometers.

Deuterium (2H) spin relaxation of 13CH2D methyl groups has been widely applied to investigate picosecond-to-nanosecond conformational dynamics in proteins by solution-state NMR spectroscopy. The B0 dependence of the 2H spin relaxation rates is represented by a linear relationship between the spectral density function at three discrete frequencies J(0), J(ωD) and J(2ωD). In this study, the linear relation between 2H relaxation rates at B0 fields separated by a factor of two and the interpolation of rates at intermediate frequencies are combined for a more robust approach for spectral density mapping. The general usefulness of the approach is demonstrated on a fractionally deuterated (55%) and alternate 13C-12C labeled sample of E. coli RNase H. Deuterium relaxation rate constants (R1, R1ρ, RQ, RAP) were measured for 57 well-resolved 13CH2D moieties in RNase H at 1H frequencies of 475MHz, 500MHz, 900MHz, and 950MHz. The spectral density mapping of the 475/950MHz data combination was performed independently and jointly to validate the expected relationship between data recorded at B0 fields separated by a factor of two. The final analysis was performed by jointly analyzing 475/950MHz rates with 700MHz rates interpolated from 500/900MHz data to yield six J(ωD) values for each methyl peak. The J(ω) profile for each peak was fit to the original (τM, Sf2, τf) or extended model-free function (τM, Sf2, Ss2, τf, τs) to obtain optimized dynamic parameters.

Extended measurements and calculations of CH3C14N-N2 rotational lineshape parameters

Spectroscopic parameters of methyl cyanide are of interest for astrophysical applications because of presence of this molecule in planetary atmospheres, comets, and interstellar medium. For radiative-transfer modeling a key role is played by the pressure-induced linewidths which are strongly influenced by the collision partner and the temperature. To complete the extremely scarce experimental data available, rotational lines of room-temperature CH3C14N in collision with molecular nitrogen have been recorded in a very large (180–1400 GHz) frequency range for J = 9 → 10, 12 → 13, 15 → 16, 21 → 22, 27 → 28, 33 → 34, 42 → 43, 48 → 49, 63 → 64, 69 → 70, 75 → 76 and K = 0–15. The high sensitivity of the frequency-modulated spectrometer has enabled observation of clear deviations of the recorded lineshapes from the usual Voigt profile. Their additional analyses performed with advanced non-Voigt models have demonstrated that the observed lineshapes are mainly governed by the speed dependence of relaxation rates and that the optical diffusion related to velocity changing collisions (Dicke effect) has a nearly negligible role. Compared to infrared-region results available in the literature, our Voigt-profile values lie systematically lower by about 0.5 MHz/Torr, which argues in favor of observable vibrational dependence for the CH3CN-N2 system. Line-broadening parameters have been also evaluated by a semi-empirical method based on the Anderson-Tsao-Curnutte theory. The model parameters determined from fits on some selected experimental values confirm the tendences previously stated for the case of vibrotational transitions and allow better theoretical predictions for extended ranges of rotational quantum numbers. Being temperature-independent, these parameters can be directly used in calculations for other temperatures concerned by radiative transfer models.

Experimental study of rotational relaxation for D2(1,12) in collisions with N2.

The rotational relaxation behavior of D2(1,12) in a D2-N2 mixture was investigated using coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) technique. The rovibrational level v = 1 and J = 12 of D2 was selectively excited through stimulated Raman pumping while monitoring the temporal evolution of population for D2(1, J ≤ 12) molecules using time-resolved CARS spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the rotational relaxation processes of D2(1,12) encompass both multi-quantum relaxation and continuous single-quantum relaxation. When α, the molar ratio of N2, is less than 0.5, D2(1,12) predominantly undergoes a single quantum relaxation process transition. However, when α ≥ 0.5, the multi-quantum relaxation mechanism gradually predominates. The total rotational relaxation rate coefficients of D2(1,12) collisions with N2 and D2 at 295K were determined to be 3.974 × 10-14 and 1.179 × 10-14cm3s-1, respectively. The temperature dependence of rotational relaxation rate of D2(1,12) was investigated within the temperature range of 295-453K. With increasing temperature, the dominant relaxation process exhibited an accelerated behavior, while the minor relaxation process remained largely unaffected. The rotational temperature of the D2molecule at various N2 molar ratios was determined through the utilization of Boltzmann plots. The rotational temperature undergoes a rapid decline within 2 μs, corresponding to the near-resonant rotation-vibration relaxation process of D2(1,12) collisions with N2. The system reaches a quasi-equilibrium state when the delay time is 3 μs. The findings of this study can serve as a valuable empirical basis for further validation of the kinetic theory and simulation.

Photoluminescence in Cerium-Doped Fluoride Borate Crystals

Antizeolite fluoride borates LiBa12(BO3)7F4 (LBBF) doped by Ce3+ ions demonstrate photoluminescence (PL) and hold promise for use as phosphors in white light-emitting diodes. In this study, we present the results of modeling the electronic and optical properties of Ce-containing LBBF structures where doping atoms are located at different sites of the host lattice. We also consider the presence of F-centers, which exhibit trap states located within the band gap. We further investigate the nonadiabatic excited state electronic dynamics to elucidate electron-relaxation pathways. The nonadiabatic couplings (NACs) calculations provide transition probabilities facilitated by the nuclear movement. The relaxation rates of electrons and holes are calculated using Redfield’s theory of the formalism of the reduced density matrix (RDM). The PL spectra are calculated using molecular dynamics (MD) sampling and time-integrated methods along the excited state trajectory based on NACs. Mechanisms of PL in LBBF:Ce3+ crystals are interpreted using both computational and experimental observations. This work illustrates the dependence of transition energies, intensities, and relaxation rates of Ce-containing LBBF crystals on a selection of doping sites. In addition to analysis of emission band contributed by cerium, this work allows to identify and reproduce spectral lines hypothetically corresponding to the interband and intraband transitions in F-centers of borate crystals, available in the absence of a metal center.

Untangling the rivalry between cholesterol and antimicrobial peptides.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next generation antimicrobial therapeutics. In mammalian cell membranes cholesterol plays a key regulatory function in antibiotic drug resistance and the immune response. However, the mechanism of action and the selectivity of AMPs towards bacterial membranes are not yet well understood. We hypothesized that differences in biophysical properties of mammalian versus bacterial membranes give rise to differences in peptide-membrane interactions which underlie the AMP mechanism and selectivity. Solid-state 2H NMR spectroscopy was employed to study di-monounsaturated phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolaminelipids (DOPC versus DOPE) bilayers in the presence of the antimicrobial peptide LL37 (2−4 mol%) and cholesterol (20−30% mol) as model systems mimicking mammalian and bacterial membranes. The lipid systems were probed with POPC-d31 (10 mol%) where the residual quadrupolar couplings yielded segmental order parameters (SCD) for the individual acyl segments. The LL37-peptide decreased the quadrupolar splittings indicating it increased the area per lipid, while cholesterol showed the opposite. The mean-torque model was used to calculate the key bilayer properties of area per lipid and bilayer thickness [2]. The model-free functional dependence of spin-lattice relaxation rates on SCD (square-law plots) indicated greater bending rigidity with cholesterol for both DOPC and DOPE membranes. By contrast LL37 decreased the bending rigidity of the membranes. Additionally all-atom molecular dynamics simulations for bilayers comprising POPE/DMPG/cardiolipin (90:5:5) and DMPC/cholesterol (90:10) were conducted with LL37 peptides on the bilayer surface to capture the molecular-level interactions. We observed partial insertion of the LL37-peptides in the POPE system, while the peptides were repelled from the membrane in the DMPC/cholesterol system. These observations reveal the surprising rivalry between cholesterol and AMPs which underlies AMP mechanism and selectivity.

Static and dynamic magnetic properties of the spin- triangle lattice antiferromagnet Na3Fe(PO4)2 studied by 31P NMR

31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements have been carried out to investigate the magnetic properties and spin dynamics of Fe3+ (S = 5/2) spins in the two-dimensional triangular lattice (TL) compound Na3Fe(PO4)2. The temperature (T) dependence of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rates () shows a clear peak around Néel temperature, K, corresponding to an antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition. From the temperature dependence of NMR shift (K) above , an exchange coupling between Fe3+ spins was estimated to be K using the spin-5/2 Heisenberg isotropic-TL model. The temperature dependence of divided by the magnetic susceptibility (χ), , above proves the AFM nature of spin fluctuations below in the paramagnetic state. In the magnetically ordered state below , the characteristic rectangular shape of the NMR spectra is observed, indicative of a commensurate AFM state in its ground state. The strong temperature dependence of 1/T 1 in the AFM state is well explained by the two-magnon (Raman) process of the spin waves in a 3D antiferromagnet with a spin-anisotropy energy gap of 5.7 K. The temperature dependence of sublattice magnetization is also well reproduced by the spin waves. Those results indicate that the magnetically ordered state of Na3Fe(PO4)2 is a conventional 3D AFM state, and no obvious spin frustration effects were detected in its ground state.

Is Ficoll a Colloid or Polymer? A Multitechnique Study of a Prototypical Excluded-Volume Macromolecular Crowder

The in-cell environment is crowded with macromolecules, and the consequent reduction in free volume, based on the hard-sphere paradigm, is central to understanding macromolecular motions. A much-used model crowder, Ficoll, often assumed to be a compact, if not rigid, colloidal particle, is studied by rheology, small-angle neutron scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance diffusometry, and relaxometry. We find that the Ficoll suspension viscosity scales linearly with concentration cF in the dilute limit and as ∼cF3.8 at high cF, i.e, consistent with the 15/4 (de Gennes) scaling for a reptating polymer. The form factor of Ficoll, obtained via small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), resembles either a Gaussian polymer or a soft polymer blob. From NMR diffusion measurements, we obtain an effective volume fraction for Ficoll that accounts for Ficoll-bound water in two ways and show that each results in a volume occupancy of 60% to 70% in the crowding limit, much larger than the traditionally reported values of around 30%. If we persist with the colloid paradigm and examine the dependence of the zero-q structure factor obtained via SANS in terms of this effective volume fraction, we find that only a combination of particle softness and interparticle attractions, quantified using a computational model, can replicate the experimental S(0). The stark difference between effective and traditional volume occupancies affects the interpretation of previous experiments on macromolecular crowding and might explain the intriguing non-monotonicity observed in the dependence of protein relaxation rates on crowder concentration.

An isogeometric finite element formulation for boundary and shell viscoelasticity based on a multiplicative surface deformation split

AbstractThis work presents a numerical formulation to model isotropic viscoelastic material behavior for membranes and thin shells. The surface and the shell theory are formulated within a curvilinear coordinate system, which allows the representation of general surfaces and deformations. The kinematics follow from Kirchhoff–Love theory and the discretization makes use of isogeometric shape functions. A multiplicative split of the surface deformation gradient is employed, such that an intermediate surface configuration is introduced. The surface metric and curvature of this intermediate configuration follow from the solution of nonlinear evolution laws—ordinary differential equations—that stem from a generalized viscoelastic solid model. The evolution laws are integrated numerically with the implicit Euler scheme and linearized within the Newton–Raphson scheme of the nonlinear finite element framework. The implementation of membrane and bending viscosity is verified with the help of analytical solutions and shows ideal convergence behavior. The chosen numerical examples capture large deformations and typical viscoelasticity behavior, such as creep, relaxation, and strain rate dependence. It is also shown that the proposed formulation can be straightforwardly applied to model boundary viscoelasticity of 3D bodies.

Orientation dependence of inhomogeneous magnetization transfer and dipolar order relaxation rate in phospholipid bilayers

Inhomogeneous magnetization transfer (ihMT) is a novel MRI technique used to measure white matter myelination in the brain and spinal cord. In the brain, ihMT has a strong orientation dependence which is likely to arise from the anisotropy of dipolar couplings between protons on oriented lipids in the myelin bilayers. We measured the orientation dependence of the second moment (M2) of the lineshape, dipolar order relaxation rate (R1D), and ihMT ratio (ihMTR) in an oriented phospholipid bilayer at 9.4 T. We found a strong orientation dependence in all three parameters. ihMTR and R1D were maximized when the bilayers were aligned perpendicular to B0 and minimized near the magic angle (∼54.7°). M2 followed an orientation dependence given by the second Legendre polynomial squared as predicted by the form of the secular dipolar Hamiltonian. These results were used to calculate the orientation dependence of R1D and ihMTR in a diffusionless myelin sheath model, which showed ihMTR was maximised for fibers perpendicular to B0 and minimised at 45°, similar to ex-vivo spinal cord with a larger prepulse frequency offset, but in contrast to in vivo brain findings. Adding fiber dispersion to this model smoothed the orientation dependence curve as expected. Our results suggest the importance of the effects of lipid diffusion and prepulse offset frequency on ihMTR.

Local evidence for collective spin excitations in the distorted kagome antiferromagnet Pr3BWO9

We report the local probe investigation of a frustrated antiferromagnet Pr$_3$BWO$_9$ with the distorted kagome lattice. Absence of magnetic order or spin freezing is indicated by the spectral analysis down to 0.3 K and specific heat measurements down to 0.09 K. The Knight shifts show an upturn behavior with the sample cooling down, which is further suppressed by external field. For the spin dynamics, gapped spin excitation is observed from the temperature dependence of spin-lattice relaxation rates, with the gap size proportional to the applied magnetic field intensity. Comparatively, an unexpected sharp peak is observed in the nuclear spin-spin relaxation rate data at $T^*\sim 4-5$ K. These results indicate an unconventional persistent fluctuating paramagnetic ground state with antiferromagnetic collective spin excitations in the strongly frustrated spin system.

Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time in UCoGe

The NMR measurements performed on a single orthorhombic crystal of superconducting ferromagnet UCoGe (Y.Ihara et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. v.105, 206403 (2010)) demonstrate strongly anisotropic magnetic properties of this material. The presented calculations allow to establish the dependence of longitudinal spin-lattice relaxation rate from temperature and magnetic field. The value 1/T_1T in field perpendicular to spontaneous magnetisation directed along c-axis has maximum in vicinity of Curie temperature whereas it does not reveal similar behaviour in field parallel to the direction of spontaneous magnetisation. Also there was shown that the longitudinal spin-lattice relaxation rate is strongly field dependent when the field directed in b-crystallographic direction but field independent if magnetic field is oriented along a-axis.

Phospholipids in Motion: High-Resolution 31P NMR Field Cycling Studies.

Diverse phospholipid motions are key to membrane function but can be quite difficult to untangle and quantify. High-resolution field cycling 31P NMR spin-lattice relaxometry, where the sample is excited at high field, shuttled in the magnet bore for low-field relaxation, then shuttled back to high field for readout of the residual magnetization, provides data on phospholipid dynamics and structure. This information is encoded in the field dependence of the 31P spin-lattice relaxation rate (R1). In the field range from 11.74 down to 0.003 T, three dipolar nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersions (NMRDs) and one due to 31P chemical shift anisotropy contribute to R1 of phospholipids. Extraction of correlation times and maximum relaxation amplitudes for these NMRDs provides (1) lateral diffusion constants for different phospholipids in the same bilayer, (2) estimates of how additives alter the motion of the phospholipid about its long axis, and (3) an average 31P-1H angle with respect to the bilayer normal, which reveals that polar headgroup motion is not restricted on a microsecond timescale. Relative motions within a phospholipid are also provided by comparing 31P NMRD profiles for specifically deuterated molecules as well as 13C and 1H field dependence profiles to that of 31P. Although this work has dealt exclusively with phospholipids in small unilamellar vesicles, these same NMRDs can be measured for phospholipids in micelles and nanodisks, making this technique useful for monitoring lipid behavior in a variety of structures and assessing how additives alter specific lipid motions.

NMR investigations toward understanding the variety of ground states in iron-based superconductors

We report NMR experiments on heavily electron-doped Fe-based superconductor in comparison with the results on the parent Fe-based compounds. The typical parent Fe-based compound LaFe(As1-x′P x′)O exhibits the re-emergent antiferromagnetic (AFM) order at x′ ~ 0.6 (AFM2) separated from the parent AFM order at x′ =0 (AFM1). Systematic 31P-NMR study on [Sr4Sc2O6]Fe2(As1−x P x )2 (SrSc42622), which has local lattice parameters of iron-pnictogen (FePn) layer similar to the series of LaFe(As1−x′/P x′)O, also revealed that the presence of AFM1 order is universal for most of parent Fe-based compounds. In contrast, the static AFM2 order was absent in this series, however, the dynamical low-energy AFM spin fluctuations are enhanced at around x ~ 0.8, indicating that the onset of the static AFM2 is quite sensitive to the local lattice parameters of FePn layer. In order to elucidate the further universality and diversity, we have carried out 77Se-NMR measurement on Li x (NH3)yFe2−δ Se2 (Tc = 44 K) in heavily electron-doped regime. Although the spin fluctuations at low energies does not significantly develops upon cooling, the moderate spin fluctuations were extracted at high temperatures from comparison of the temperature (T) dependences of Knight shift and nuclear relaxation rate (1/T 1 T). We discuss the universality and diversity of the relationship between the Tc and the characteristics of the spin fluctuations in the Fe-based compounds from a microscopic point of the NMR measurements.

Tunneling-related electron spin relaxation in self-assembled quantum-dot molecules

We study theoretically spin relaxation during phonon-assisted tunneling of a single electron in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum-dot molecules formed by vertically stacked dots. We find that the spin-flip tunneling rate may be as high as 1% of the spin-conserving one. By studying the dependence of spin relaxation rate on external fields, we show that the process is active at a considerable rate even without the magnetic field, and scales with the latter differently than the relaxation in a Zeeman doublet. Utilizing a multiband $\boldsymbol{k}\cdot\boldsymbol{p}$ theory, we selectively investigate the impact of various spin-mixing terms in the electron energy and carrier-phonon interaction Hamiltonians. As a result, we identify the main contribution to come from the Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction, which is responsible for the zero-field effect. At magnetic fields above $\sim$ 15 T, this is surpassed by other contributions due to the structural shear strain. We also study the impact of the sample morphology and determine that the misalignment of the dots may enhance relaxation rate by over an order of magnitude. Finally, via virtual tunneling at nonzero temperature, the process in question also affects stationary electrons in tunnel-coupled structures and provides a Zeeman-doublet spin relaxation channel even without the magnetic field.

Quantum Sensing of Spin Fluctuations of Magnetic Insulator Films with Perpendicular Anisotropy

Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers, optically active atomic defects in diamond, have been widely applied to emerging quantum sensing, imaging, and network efforts, showing unprecedented field sensitivity and nanoscale spatial resolution. Many of these advantages derive from their excellent quantum-coherence, controllable entanglement, and high fidelity of operations, enabling opportunities to outperform the classical counterpart. Exploiting this cutting-edge quantum metrology, we report noninvasive measurement of intrinsic spin fluctuations of magnetic insulator thin films with a spontaneous out-of-plane magnetization. The measured field dependence of NV relaxation rates is well correlated to the variation of magnon density and band structure of the magnetic samples, which are challenging to access by the conventional magnetometry methods. Our results highlight the significant opportunities offered by NV centers in diagnosing the noise environment of functional magnetic elements, providing valuable information to design next-generation, high-density, and scalable spintronic devices.

Membrane Deformation Modulated by Hydration and Cholesterol Unveiled by Solid-State 2H NMR Spectroscopy

Phospholipid membranes are biological liquid crystals in which intermolecular interactions at mesoscopic length scales play key roles in the emergence of membrane physical properties like structure and rigidity. Such interactions modulated by membrane hydration [1] and cholesterol [2] have been investigated using solid-state 2H NMR spectroscopy. The average structure is manifested by the lineshapes through principal values of static or residual coupling tensors due to quadrupolar interactions. The residual quadrupolar couplings (RQCs) yield segmental order parameters for the individual acyl segments (i), providing average membrane properties such as bilayer thickness, area/lipid, and spontaneous curvature [3]. We show that membrane dehydration and increased cholesterol content result in greater RQCs, indicative of membrane thickening. Elastic membrane deformations are exhibited as collective order-director fluctuations (ODF) contributing to the nuclear magnetic relaxation. At mesoscopic length scales the thermal fluctuations connect to membrane mechanical properties via the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Model-free interpretation of the functional dependence of spin-lattice relaxation rates, R1Z, on segmental order parameters (square-law) reveals emergent material properties in the liquid-crystalline state. The R1Z relaxation dispersion and temperature dependence of square-law plots indicate a nematic-like membrane hydrocarbon core. Solid-state 2H NMR relaxation studies demonstrate that both dehydration and increased cholesterol content in the membrane lead to decreased slopes of square-law plots, indicating an increase in membrane bending rigidity, consistent with neutron spin-echo (NSE) measurements. Analogous 2H NMR studies with various membrane lipid compositions and peptide-reconstituted membranes have addressed lipid-mediated cell signaling and lipid-protein interactions. Molecular dynamics simulations provide further insights on the correspondence of the solid-state NMR and NSE results. [1] K.J. Mallikarjunaiah et al. (2019) Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 21, 18422. [2] S.
