Double-resonance facilitated decomposion of emission spectra

Emission spectra provide us with rich information about the excited-state processes such as proton-transfer, charge-transfer and so on. In the cases that more than one excited states are involved, emission spectra from different excited states sometimes overlap and a decomposition of the overlapped spectra is desired. One of the methods to perform a decomposition is a time-resolved fluorescence technique. It uses a difference in time evolutions of components involved. However, in the gas-phase, a concentration of the sample is frequently too small to carry out this method. On the other hand, double-resonance technique is a very powerful tool to discriminate or identify a common species in the spectra in the gas-phase. Thus, in the present study, we applied the double-resonance technique to resolve the overlapped emission spectra. When transient IR absorption spectra of the excited state are available, we can label the population of the certain species by the IR excitation with a proper selection of the IR wavenumbers. Thus, we can obtain the emission spectra of labeled species by subtracting the emission spectra with IR labeling from that without IR. \par In the present study, we chose the charge-transfer emission spectra of cyanophenyldisilane (CPDS) as a test system. One of us reported that two charge-transfer (CT) states are involved in the intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) process of CPDS-water cluster and recorded the transient IR spectra\footnote{H.~Ishikawa, \textit{et al.}, \textit{Chem. Phys. Phys. Chem.}, \textbf{9}, 117 (2007). }. As expected, we have succeeded in resolving the CT emission spectra of CPDS-water cluster by the double resonance facilitated decomposion technique. In the present paper, we will report the details of the experimental scheme and the results of the decomposition of the emission spectra

Particle Propagator of Spin Calogero-Sutherland Model

Explicit-exact expressions for the particle propagator of the spin 1/2 Calogero-Sutherland model are derived for the system of a finite number of particles and for that in the thermodynamic limit. Derivation of the expression in the thermodynamic limit is also presented in detail. Combining this result with the hole propagator obtained in earlier studies, we calculate the spectral function of the single particle Green's function in the full range of the energy and momentum space. The resultant spectral function exhibits power-law singularity characteristic to correlated particle systems in one dimension.Comment: 43 pages, 6 figure

Electric Wheelchair Hybrid Operating System Coordinated with Working Range of a Robotic Arm

Electric wheelchair-mounted robotic arms can help patients with disabilities to perform their activities in daily living (ADL). Joysticks or keypads are commonly used as the operating interface of Wheelchair-mounted robotic arms. Under different scenarios, some patients with upper limb disabilities such as finger contracture cannot operate such interfaces smoothly. Recently, manual interfaces for different symptoms to operate the wheelchair-mounted robotic arms are being developed. However, the stop the wheelchairs in an appropriate position for the robotic arm grasping task is still not easy. To reduce the individual’s burden in operating wheelchair in narrow spaces and to ensure that the chair always stops within the working range of a robotic arm, we propose here an operating system for an electric wheelchair that can automatically drive itself to within the working range of a robotic arm by capturing the position of an AR marker via a chair-mounted camera. Meanwhile, the system includes an error correction model to correct the wheelchair’s moving error. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system by running the wheelchair and simulating the robotic arm through several courses

Derivation of Green's Function of Spin Calogero-Sutherland Model by Uglov's Method

Hole propagator of spin 1/2 Calogero-Sutherland model is derived using Uglov's method, which maps the exact eigenfunctions of the model, called Yangian Gelfand-Zetlin basis, to a limit of Macdonald polynomials (gl_2-Jack polynomials). To apply this mapping method to the calculation of 1-particle Green's function, we confirm that the sum of the field annihilation operator on Yangian Gelfand-Zetlin basis is transformed to the field annihilation operator on gl_2-Jack polynomials by the mapping. The resultant expression for hole propagator for finite-size system is written in terms of renormalized momenta and spin of quasi-holes and the expression in the thermodynamic limit coincides with the earlier result derived by another method. We also discuss the singularity of the spectral function for a specific coupling parameter where the hole propagator of spin Calogero-Sutherland model becomes equivalent to dynamical colour correlation function of SU(3) Haldane-Shastry model.Comment: 36 pages, 8 figure

Fabrication of 1 T Bi-2223 Superconducting Magnet with 92 mm Bore Diameter at 77 K

A Bi-2223 superconducting magnet for practical use in liquid nitrogen is designed and fabricated. Bi-2223 tapesprepared by ConTrolled Over Pressure (CT-OP) process are used for the winding, and the critical current at 77.3 K and self-field is in the range of 174–185 A. 28 double-pancake coils are resistively connected in series by copper terminals. Highcritical current tape is used for top and bottom double-pancake coils, since the magnetic field normal to the tape surface ishighest at the top and bottom of the magnet. Two iron plates at top and bottom of the magnet are used for reduction of thenormal component of magnetic field to the Bi-2223 tape, since the total performance of the magnet is determined by theminimum critical current at maximum normal magnetic field component to the tape. The inner bore diameter of the magnetis 92 mm. And the homogeneity of magnetic field of long-axis direction in 50 mmφ × 100 mm length is within 3%. Themaximum magnetic field at the center of the bore is over 1.0 T at 77.3 K.Proceedings of the Cryogenic Engineering Conference (2013) , June 17–21, 2013, Anchorage, Alaska, US
