Strong dependence of ultracold chemical rates on electric dipole moments
We use the quantum threshold laws combined with a classical capture model to provide an analytical estimate of the chemical quenching cross sections and rate coefficients of two colliding particles at ultralow temperatures. We apply this quantum threshold model (QT model) to indistinguishable fermionic polar molecules in an electric field. At ultracold temperatures and in weak electric fields, ...
متن کاملThe Predominance of Electric Transport in Synaptic Transmission
The quantitative description of the motion of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft appears to be one of the most difficult problems in the modeling of synapses. Here we show in contradiction to the common view, that this process is merely governed by electric transport than diffusion forces. Synapses are usually about a few nm wide and have diameters of about 20−25μm. These dimensions make i...
متن کاملChemical kindling enhances the Schaffer collateral-CAl pyramidal cell synaptic transmission in anesthetized rats
Epilepsy is one of the common disorders in human community. Clinical observations have shown that epileptic patients have often difficulty in learning and memory. Kindling is a laboratory model for studying epilepsy and its complications. This experiment was designed to study the effect of chemical kindling on Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synaptic transmission using pentylenetetrazole...
متن کاملLithium electric dipole polarizability
The electric dipole polarizability of the lithium atom in the ground state is calculated including relativistic and quantum electrodynamics corrections. The obtained result αE = 164.074 0(5) a.u. is in a good agreement with the less accurate experimental value of 164.19(1.08) a.u. The small uncertainty of about 2ppm comes from the approximate treatment of quantum electrodynamics corrections. Ou...
متن کاملElectric fields due to synaptic currents sharpen excitatory transmission.
The synaptic response waveform, which determines signal integration properties in the brain, depends on the spatiotemporal profile of neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft. Here, we show that electrophoretic interactions between AMPA receptor-mediated excitatory currents and negatively charged glutamate molecules accelerate the clearance of glutamate from the synaptic cleft, speeding up synapt...
