We report 121 Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on kagome superconductor CsV 3 5 with T c = 2.5 K. NQR spectra split after a charge density wave (CDW) transition at 94 K, which demonstrates commensurate CDW state. The coexistence of the high temperature phase and between 91 K manifests that it is first order transition. exhibits tri-hexagonal deformation lateral shift adjacent ...

Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) is effective for the detection and identification of certain types of explosives such as RDX, PETN and TNT. In explosive detection, the NQR response of certain 14N nuclei present in the crystalline material is probed. The 14N nuclei possess a nuclear quadrupole moment which in the presence of an electric field gradient produces an energy level splitting which ...

Na(+) is the second major coupling ion at membranes after protons, and many pathogenic bacteria use the sodium-motive force to their advantage. A prominent example is Vibrio cholerae, which relies on the Na(+)-pumping NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Na(+)-NQR) as the first complex in its respiratory chain. The Na(+)-NQR is a multisubunit, membrane-embedded NADH dehydrogenase that oxidizes NADH and...

Pulsed NQR has been used to get information about the two phase transitions (PT) in 4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone. The measurements of the NQR spectrum and spin-lattice relaxation suggest that the PT's correspond to a normal-incommensurate and to the lock-in of a commensurate structure at lower temperature. Strong hysteresis has been observed, which could be assigned to memory effects produced by d...

The sodium ion-translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Na(+)-NQR) from the pathogen Vibrio cholerae exploits the free energy liberated during oxidation of NADH with ubiquinone to pump sodium ions across the cytoplasmic membrane. The Na(+)-NQR consists of four membrane-bound subunits NqrBCDE and the peripheral NqrF and NqrA subunits. NqrA binds ubiquinone-8 as well as quinones with shorter pr...

NaN02 is a famous ferroelectric material with spontaneous polarization (Ps) along the crystallographic b-axis, which undergoes an order-disorder transition at Tc = 437 K [1 3]. The Ps, arising from the ordering of N 0 2 and the accompanying shift of Na, is sensitive to the environment. Information on the local structure in NaN02 has been obtained by employing N NQR [4 5]. A change of the local ...

A set-up especially designed for semi-simultaneous measurements of 1H, 23Na and 35Cl in ordinary cementitious materials using nuclear magnetic resonance was built. This setup makes use of the main field of a whole body magnetic resonance imaging system (Philips Intera), which has allowed us to combine two measurement setups into one, i.e., a 23Na/35Cl and a 1H insert. This 1.5 T field was chose...
