AbstractPhotoluminescence has been studied in porous silicon. Two types of radiative recombination centers have been identified. One gives rise to luminescence at about 820 nm and is believed to be related to Si-H bonds. The second gives rise to luminescence at about 770 nm and is likely associated with S-O bonds. Above about 20K radiative recombination is assisted by excited states of the recombination centre located about 10 meV above the ground state. The Si-H recombination centre is a single electron center whereas the Si-O center appears to be a multi-electron center.

Energy levels of 249 excited levels in nickel-like erbium are calculated using the 3s23p63d10 as a ground state and the single electron excited states from n = 3 to n = 4, 5 orbitals, calculations have been performed using FAC code (Gu. Astrophys. J. 582, 1241 (2003). doi:10.1086/344745 ). The populations are calculated over electron densities from 1020 to 1023 cm−3 and electron temperatures 1/2, 3/4 of the ionization potential of Ni-like Er. The gain coefficients of the transitions are calculated.

The non L.T.E. (local thermodynamic equilibrium) properties of optically thin and thick quasistationary oxygen plasmas have been calculated for the temperature range k T = 0.5 - 1.5 eV and for the electron density interval 108 - 1016 cm-3 , by using the collisional-radiative model of Bates, Kingston and McWhirther. The results include1 the coefficients r0(i) and r1(i), which represent the contribution to the population density of the ith quantum level from the continuum and from the ground state, respectively2 the values of α and S, which are the collisional-radiative recombination and ionization coefficients, respectively. The accuracy of the present results is discussed in connection with the adopted plasma model and with the selection of the collisional cross sections for forbidden and allowed transitions. A discussion is also presented of the influence of the two low lying excited states of oxygen atoms (i.e. the states 2p41D, 2p41S) on the non L.T.E. properties of these plasmas. A satisfactory agreement is found with the calculations of Julienne et al. and with the experimental results of Jones.

This paper presents the photoluminescence study at 12 K and scanning photoluminescence spectroscopy investigation of the ground and excited states at 80 and 300 K on InAs QDs inserted in In 0.15 Ga 0.85 As / GaAs QW structures and created at different QD growth temperatures. It is shown that investigated structures are characterized by the long range variation of an average QD size in QD ensemble across the wafer. This long range QD size inhomogeneity was used for investigation of the multi-excited state energy trend versus ground state energy (or QD sizes).

<p></p><p> Damage to RNA from ultraviolet radiation induce chemical modifications to the nucleobases. Unraveling the excited states involved in these reactions is essential, but investigations aimed at understanding the electronic-energy relaxation pathways of the RNA nucleotide uridine 5’-monophosphate (UMP) have not received enough attention. In this Letter, the excited-state dynamics of UMP is investigated in aqueous solution. Excitation at 267 nm results in a trifurcation event that leads to the simultaneous population of the vibrationally-excited ground state, a longlived <sup>1</sup>n<sub>O</sub>π* state, and a receiver triplet state within 200 fs. The receiver state internally convert to the long-lived <sup>3</sup>ππ* state in an ultrafast time scale. The results elucidate the electronic relaxation pathways and clarify earlier transient absorption experiments performed for uracil derivatives in solution. This mechanistic information is important because long-lived nπ* and ππ* excited states of both singlet and triplet multiplicities are thought to lead to the formation of harmful photoproducts.</p><p></p>

The beam scattering method was used to investigate non-dissociative single-electron charge transfer between the molecular dication CO22+ and Ar or Ne at several collision energies between 3-10 eV (centre-of-mass, c.m.). Relative translational energy distributions of the product ions showed that in the reaction with Ar the CO2+ product was mainly formed in reactions of the ground state of the dication, CO22+(X3Σg-), leading to the excited states of the product CO2+(A2Πu) and CO2+(B2Σu+). In the reaction with Ne, the largest probability had the process from the reactant dication excited state CO22+(1Σg+) leading to the product ion ground state CO2+(X2Πg). Less probable were processes between the other excited states of the dication CO22+, (1∆g), (1Σu-), (3∆u), also leading to the product ion ground state CO2+(X2Πg). Using the Landau-Zener model of the reaction window, relative populations of the ground and excited states of the dication CO22+ in the reactant beam were roughly estimated as (X3Σg):(1∆g):(1Σg+):(1Σu-):(3∆u) = 1.0:0.6:0.5:0.25:0.25.

Abstract The rotational transitions of 3,4-dihydro-1,2-pyran in the ground state and six vibrationally excited states have been assigned. The rotational constants for the ground state (A = 5198.1847(24), B = 4747.8716(24) and C = 2710.9161(24) have been derived by fitting μa, μb and μc-type transitions. The dipole moment was determined from Stark displacement measurements to be 1.400(8) D with its principal axis components |μa| =1.240(2), |μb| = 0.588(10) and |μc| = 0.278(8) D. A model calculation to reproduce the ground state rotational constants indicates that the data are consistent with a twisted ring conformation. The average intensity ratio gives vibrational separations between the ground and excited states of the ring-bending and ring-twisting modes of ~ 178 and ~ 277 cm-1 respectively.

Abstract We study the large momentum limit of the monster potentials of Bazhanov-Lukyanov-Zamolodchikov, which — according to the ODE/IM correspondence — should correspond to excited states of the Quantum KdV model.We prove that the poles of these potentials asymptotically condensate about the complex equilibria of the ground state potential, and we express the leading correction to such asymptotics in terms of the roots of Wronskians of Hermite polynomials.This allows us to associate to each partition of N a unique monster potential with N roots, of which we compute the spectrum. As a consequence, we prove — up to a few mathematical technicalities — that, fixed an integer N , the number of monster potentials with N roots coincides with the number of integer partitions of N , which is the dimension of the level N subspace of the quantum KdV model. In striking accordance with the ODE/IM correspondence.

Abstract Attempts to the Calculation of the Chemical Shift with Especial Consideration of the Paramagnetic Term The calculation of the paramagnetic term according to the Pople formalism of the chemical shift is expanded. The hitherto constant value of the energy gap between the ground state and the excited states is replaced by the value of the lowest lying excitation. This leads to a remarkably better differentiation of the paramagnetic terms of different compounds. The influence is shown on ethane, ethene and ethine.
