We present a lifetime measurements of the 6s level of rubidium. We use a time-correlated singlephoton counting technique on two different samples of rubidium atoms. A vapor cell with variable rubidium density and a sample of atoms confined and cooled in a magneto-optical trap. The 5P1/2 level serves as the resonant intermediate step for the two step excitation to the 6s level. We detect the dec...

Leakage rates were determined from leaf cells loaded with rubidium and [(3)H]leucine. There was a differential response between leucine and rubidium leakage depending upon the species used. The rate of leucine leakage shows a small decline below 5 C for two altitudinal variants of Lycopersicon hirsutum Humb. and Bonpl., whereas Lycopersicon esculentum L. showed a marked increase below 5 C. Rubi...

The steady state kinetics of sodium and potassium ion transport adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6-l. 3) suggests an activating action of adenosine triphosphate in addition to its action as a phosphate donor. This action might be an acceleration of dissociation of Kf or its congeners from the enzyme. To test this possibility transient kinetics of the phosphoenzyme was investigated. In membranes f...

The half-life of 87Rb was measured by a liquid scintillation method according to the efficiency tracing method. The measuring sample of rubidium chloride was dissolved in a scintillation cocktail of Insta-gel, and the rubidium was determined by gravimetry as tetraphenylborate. The result was (5.56 +/- 0.025) x 10(10) years.

This study discussed production, demand, and future prospects of rubidium, which is an alkali group metal that highly reactive to various media requires carefulness in handling, but no significant environmental hazard rubidium has been reported yet. Rubidium used fields such as optoelectronic equipment, biomedical, chemical industries. Because difficulty production well limited the transaction ...

Spectroscopy of alkali-buffer gas mixtures at high pressures from single-digit to several 100 bars in the regime substantial collisional broadening is relevant a wide range fields, ranging redistribution cooling laboratory astrophysics. Here we report on spectroscopic measurements dense rubidium-noble recorded pressure cell equipped with soldered sapphire optical viewports, which allows for con...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to observe the concentrations of trace metals boron, lithium, rubidium, antimony, tin and strontium in the serum of athletes from different modalities and sedentary subjects and the possible influence that different energy sports training modalities can have on their concentration. METHODS Eighty professional athletes and 31 sedentary males participated in...

Cavity-linewidth narrowing in a ring cavity that is due to the high dispersion and reduced absorption produced by electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in rubidium-atom vapor has been experimentally observed. The cavity linewidth with rubidium atoms under EIT conditions can be significantly narrowed. Cavity-linewidth narrowing was measured as a function of coupling beam power.
