Examples for recent studies of magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole excitations with the nuclear resonance fluorescence technique at the superconducting Darmstadt electron linear accelerator S–DALINAC are given. The properties of the gross and fine structure of the orbital magnetic scissors mode in even and odd-mass nuclei are summarized. Within a test experiment, the decay width of the exci...

We present synthesis and $^{75}$As-nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements for the noncentrosymmetric superconductor CaPtAs with a superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ of $\sim 1.5$ K. discovered two different forms during synthesis; one is high-temperature tetragonal form that was previously reported, other low-temperature consistent orthorhombic structure CaPtP. According to $...

The problem of creating well–collimated beams of atoms escaping from a trap is studied. This problem is of high importance for the realization of atom lasers. Nonadiabatic dynamics of neutral atoms in nonuniform magnetic fields, typical of quadrupole magnetic traps, has been considered. The main result of this report is that an unusual semiconfining regime of motion is found, when atoms are con...

An attempt is made to improve the currently accepted muonic value for the 197Au nuclear quadrupole moment [+0.547(16)x10(-28) m2] for the 3/2+ nuclear ground state obtained by Powers et al. [Nucl. Phys. A230, 413 (1974)]. From both measured Mossbauer electric quadrupole splittings and solid-state density-functional calculations for a large number of gold compounds a nuclear quadrupole moment of...

In a proton synchrotron, a polarized beam is injected and then accelerated with its polarization parallel to the guiding magnetic field. If particles see only the guiding field, then there will be no depolarization effects. But perturbing magnetic fields, such as the quadrupole magnetic fields seen by an off--axis particle, will cause the particle spin to deviate from the vertical direction jr....

We report the results of 27Aland 93Nbnuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements in PrNb2Al20 single crystals. The field angle dependence of the observed 93Nb-NMR lines for the single crystal at around 5 T and at 50K is reproduced by a simulation using previously reported NQR parameters νQ,Nb ≈ 1.82MHz and ηNb ≈ 0, while 27Al-NMR lines were not reproduce...

Temperature dependencies of 27Al and 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and spin-lattice relaxations in mordenite have been studied in static and magic angle spinning regimes. Our data show that the spin-lattice relaxations of the 23Na and 27Al nuclei are mainly governed by interaction of nuclear quadrupole moments with electric field gradients of the crystal, modulated by translational mo...
