Milli-Kelvin NQR: A Study of the Praseodymium Trihalides*
نویسندگان
چکیده
M i l l i -Ke l v in N Q R experiments are often essential for the study of pseudo one-dimensional materials. A brief overview of the special technical consideration for carrying out N Q R measurements in a d i lut ion refrigerator is given. Recent halide quadrupole resonance experiments on the pseudo one-dimensional X Y crystals PrCl 3 and PrBr 3 are reviewed including the measurement and interpretat ion of frequencies, and spin-lattice relaxation times.

Controlled Symmetry Breaking in Superconducting UPt3
We have developed a biaxial-stress calorimeter for use at milli-Kelvin temperatures to study the nature of the double superconducting transition in single crystal UPt3. We suppress the basal-plane antiferromagnetism and merge the two transitions through c-axis stress, and then break the hexagonal symmetry of the basal plane in a regulated manner through stress along â. We recover a double super...
متن کاملHanbury Brown-Twiss correlations to probe the population statistics of GHz photons emitted by conductors.
We present the first study of the statistics of GHz photons in quantum circuits, using Hanbury Brown and Twiss correlations. The super-Poissonian and Poissonian photon statistics of thermal and coherent sources, respectively, made of a resistor and a radio frequency generator, are measured down to the quantum regime at milli-Kelvin temperatures. As photon correlations are linked to the second a...
متن کاملThe formation and interactions of cold and ultracold molecules: new challenges for interdisciplinary physics O Dulieu and C Gabbanini Deceleration of molecules by dipole force potential: a numerical simulation
We propose a new scheme for the production of milli-Kelvin molecules via kinematic cooling through collisions with atoms in a magnetooptical trap (MOT). We will discuss the kinematic conditions necessary for producing cold molecules, the limits of the final attainable temperatures and the experimental implementation of this technique. Finally, we will look at some specific physical systems and ...
متن کاملKelvin probe force microscopy in liquid using electrochemical force microscopy
Conventional closed loop-Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) has emerged as a powerful technique for probing electric and transport phenomena at the solid-gas interface. The extension of KPFM capabilities to probe electrostatic and electrochemical phenomena at the solid-liquid interface is of interest for a broad range of applications from energy storage to biological systems. However, the ope...

Background & Aim: PET is a very useful and suitable imaging method in nuclear medicine. This method uses positrons with a special energy for imaging. The elements of the lanthanide are suitable for the decay of positrons with a specific energy for use in PET. Praseodymium-139 with a half-life of 4.5 hours is one of the useful elements in the group of lanthanides that can be used in PET. In this...
