Pressure Dependence of Wall Relaxation in Polarized He Gaseous Cells
We have observed a linear pressure dependence of longitudinal relaxation time
() at 4.2 K and 295 K in gaseous He cells made of either bare pyrex
glass or Cs/Rb-coated pyrex due to paramagnetic sites in the cell wall. The
paramagnetic wall relaxation is previously thought to be independent of He
pressure. We develop a model to interpret the observed wall relaxation by
taking into account the diffusion process, and our model gives a good
description of the data
Precision spectroscopy and density-dependent frequency shifts in ultracold Sr
By varying the density of an ultracold Sr sample from cm
to cm, we make the first definitive measurement of the
density-related frequency shift and linewidth broadening of the -
optical clock transition in an alkaline earth system. In addition, we
report the most accurate measurement to date of the Sr
optical clock transition frequency. Including a detailed analysis of systematic
errors, the frequency is () Hz.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. submitte
Magnetic Interaction in the Geometrically Frustrated Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet
The spin wave excitations of the geometrically frustrated triangular lattice
antiferromagnet (TLA) have been measured using high resolution
inelastic neutron scattering. Antiferromagnetic interactions up to third
nearest neighbors in the ab plane (J_1, J_2, J_3, with
and ), as well as out-of-plane coupling (J_z, with
) are required to describe the spin wave dispersion
relations, indicating a three dimensional character of the magnetic
interactions. Two energy dips in the spin wave dispersion occur at the
incommensurate wavevectors associated with multiferroic phase, and can be
interpreted as dynamic precursors to the magnetoelectric behavior in this
system.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, published in Phys. Rev. Let
Single crystal MgB2 with anisotropic superconducting properties
The discovery of superconductor in magnesium diboride MgB2 with high Tc (39
K) has raised some challenging issues; whether this new superconductor
resembles a high temperature cuprate superconductor(HTS) or a low temperature
metallic superconductor; which superconducting mechanism, a phonon- mediated
BCS or a hole superconducting mechanism or other new exotic mechanism may
account for this superconductivity; and how about its future for applications.
In order to clarify the above questions, experiments using the single crystal
sample are urgently required. Here we have first succeeded in obtaining the
single crystal of this new MgB2 superconductivity, and performed its electrical
resistance and magnetization measurements. Their experiments show that the
electronic and magnetic properties depend on the crystallographic direction.
Our results indicate that the single crystal MgB2 superconductor shows
anisotropic superconducting properties and thus can provide scientific basis
for the research of its superconducting mechanism and its applications.Comment: 7 pages pdf fil
