چکیده

We examine whether protons and deuterons in a crystal of KH(0.76)D(0.24)CO(3) at 300 K are particles or matter waves. The neutron scattering function measured over a broad range of reciprocal space reveals the enhanced diffraction pattern anticipated for antisymmetrized macroscopic states for protons (fermions). These features exclude a statistical distribution of protons and deuterons. Raman spectra are consistent with a mixture of KHCO(3) and KDCO(3) sublattices whose isomorphous structures are independent of the isotope content. We propose a theoretical framework for decoherence-free proton and deuteron states.

Deuterium isotope effects were evaluated as a strategy to optimize the pharmacokinetics of 7-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-3-(4methoxy-2-methylphenyl)-2,6-dimethylpyrazolo[5,1-b]oxazole (NVSCRF38), a novel corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 (CRF1) antagonist. In an attempt to suppress O-demethylation of NVSCRF38 without losing activity against the CRF1 receptor, the protons at the...

Macroscopic entanglement of many-magnon states

Abstract We study macroscopic entanglement of various pure states of a one-dimensional N -spin system with N ≫ 1. Here, a quantum state is said to be macroscopically entangled if it is a superposition of macroscopically distinct states. To judge whether such superposition is hidden in a general state, we use an essentially unique index p: A pure state is macroscopically entangled if p = 2, wher...

Kinetic isotope effects for fast deuterium and proton exchange rates.

By monitoring the effect of deuterium decoupling on the decay of transverse (15)N magnetization in D-(15)N spin pairs during multiple-refocusing echo sequences, we have determined fast D-D exchange rates kD and compared them with fast H-H exchange rates kH in tryptophan to determine the kinetic isotope effect as a function of pH and temperature.
