AbstractThe Born–Oppenheimer approximation, assuming separable nuclear and electronic motion, is widely adopted for characterizing chemical reactions in a single electronic state. However, the breakdown of the Born–Oppenheimer approximation is omnipresent in chemistry, and a detailed understanding of the non-adiabatic dynamics is still incomplete. Here we investigate the non-adiabatic quenching of electronically excited OH(A2Σ+) molecules by H2 molecules using full-dimensional quantum dynamics calculations for zero total nuclear angular momentum using a high-quality diabatic-potential-energy matrix. Good agreement with experimental observations is found for the OH(X2Π) ro-vibrational distribution, and the non-adiabatic dynamics are shown to be controlled by stereodynamics, namely the relative orientation of the two reactants. The uncovering of a major (in)elastic channel, neglected in a previous analysis but confirmed by a recent experiment, resolves a long-standing experiment–theory disagreement concerning the branching ratio of the two electronic quenching channels.

The nine-dimension quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations have been carried out for the title reaction with a global potential energy surface (PES) constructed by Corchado and Espinosa-García (J Chem Phys106:4013, 1997). The detailed dynamics calculations cover the specific collision energies falling in the range of 0.62–3.04 eV, which are sufficient to fit the calculated reactive cross-sections into a barrier-type excitation function and to obtain the thermal rate constants. The present QCT rate constants are in good agreement with the recent quantum dynamics (QD) results, both of which are much lower than that of the previous variational transition state theory (VTST).

Abstract The breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is omnipresent in chemistry, but our detailed understanding of the nonadiabatic dynamics is still incomplete. In the present work, nonadiabatic quenching of electronically excited OH(A2S+) molecules by H2 molecules is investigated by a full-dimensional quantum dynamical method using a high quality diabatic potential energy matrix. Good agreement with experiment is found for the OH(X2P) ro-vibrational and L-doublet distributions. Furthermore, the nonadiabatic dynamics is shown to be controlled by stereodynamics, namely the orientation of the two reactants. The uncovering of a major (in)elastic channel, neglected in all previous analyses, resolves a long-standing experiment-theory disagreement concerning the branching ratio of the two electronic quenching channels.

Abstract We introduce a framework called Heavy Quarkonium Quantum Dynamics (HQQD) which can be used to compute the dynamical suppression of heavy quarkonia propagating in the quark-gluon plasma using real-time in-medium quantum evolution. Using HQQD we compute large sets of real-time solutions to the Schrödinger equation using a realistic in-medium complex-valued potential. We sample 2 million quarkonia wave packet trajectories and evolve them through the QGP using HQQD to obtain their survival probabilities. The computation is performed using three different HQQD model parameter sets in order to estimate our systematic uncertainty. After taking into account final state feed down we compare our results to existing experimental data for the suppression and elliptic flow of bottomonium states and find that HQQD predictions are good agreement with available data for RAA as a function of Npart and pT collected at $$ \sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} $$ s NN = 5.02 TeV. In the case of v2 for the various states, we find that the path-length dependence of ϒ(1s) suppression results in quite small v2 for ϒ(1s). Our prediction for the integrated elliptic flow for ϒ(1s) in the 10−90% centrality class, which now includes an estimate of the systematic error, is v2[ϒ(1s)] = 0.003 ± 0.0007 ±$$ {}_{0.0013}^{0.0006} $$ 0.0013 0.0006 . We also find that, due to their increased suppression, excited bottomonium states have a larger elliptic flow. Based on this observation we make predictions for v2[ϒ(2s)] and v2[ϒ(3s)] as a function of centrality and transverse momentum.

AbstractThe principles and the realization of an experiment devoted to oscillator strength measurements in the vacuum-ultraviolet by the emission method are briefly presented. The results obtained for the strong multiplets of neutral nitrogen and carbon in the 1200-2000 Å range yield an absolute scale of oscillator strengths in good agreement with the most recent calculations.

Detailed electron microscope and diffraction studies of the sub-oxides of vanadium have been reported by Cambini and co-workers, and an oxidation study, possibly complicated by carbon and/or nitrogen, has been published by Edington and Smallman. The results reported by these different authors are not in good agreement. For this study, high purity polycrystalline vanadium samples were electrochemically thinned in a dual jet polisher using a solution of 20% H2SO4, 80% CH3OH, and then oxidized in an ion-pumped ultra-high vacuum reactor system using spectroscopically pure oxygen. Samples were oxidized at 350°C and 100μ oxygen pressure for periods of 30,60,90 and 160 minutes. Since our primary interest is in the mechanism of the low pressure oxidation process, the oxidized samples were cooled rapidly and not homogenized. The specimens were then examined in the HVEM at voltages up to 500 kV, the higher voltages being necessary to examine thick sections for which the oxidation behavior was more characteristic of the bulk.

For years the separation of carcinoma and sarcoma and the subclassification of sarcomas has been based on the appearance of the tumor cells and their microscopic growth pattern and information derived from certain histochemical and special stains. Although this method of study has produced good agreement among pathologists in the separation of carcinoma from sarcoma, it has given less uniform results in the subclassification of sarcomas. There remain examples of neoplasms of different histogenesis, the classification of which is questionable because of similar cytologic and growth patterns at the light microscopic level; i.e. amelanotic melanoma versus carcinoma and occasionally sarcoma, sarcomas with an epithelial pattern of growth simulating carcinoma, histologically similar mesenchymal tumors of different histogenesis (histiocytoma versus rhabdomyosarcoma, lytic osteogenic sarcoma versus rhabdomyosarcoma), and myxomatous mesenchymal tumors of diverse histogenesis (myxoid rhabdo and liposarcomas, cardiac myxoma, myxoid neurofibroma, etc.)

IntroductionThere have been several t.e.m. studies (1,2,3,4) of the dislocation arrangements in the matrix and around the particles in dispersion strengthened single crystals deformed in single slip. Good agreement has been obtained in general between the observed structures and the various theories for the flow stress and work hardening of this class of alloy. There has been though some difficulty in obtaining an accurate picture of these arrangements in the case when the obstacles are large (of the order of several 1000's Å). This is due to both the physical loss of dislocations from the thin foil in its preparation and to rearrangement of the structure on unloading and standing at room temperature under the influence of the very high localised stresses in the vicinity of the particles (2,3).This contribution presents part of a study of the Cu-Cr-SiO2 system where age hardening from the Cu-Cr and dispersion strengthening from Cu-Sio2 is combined.

Very few electron microscopy papers have been published on the atomic structure of the copper oxide based superconductor surfaces. Zandbergen et al. have reported that the surface of YBa2Cu3O7-δ was such that the terminating layer sequence is bulk-Y-CuO2-BaO-CuO-BaO, whereas the interruption at the grain boundaries is bulk-Y-CuO2-BaO-CuO. Bursill et al. reported that HREM images of the termination at the surface are in good agreement with calculated images with the same layer sequence as observed by Zandbergen et al. but with some oxygen deficiency in the two surface layers. In both studies only one or a few surfaces were studied.
