241	Electron Transfer and Other Reactions Using Atomic Metal Anions Butson, Jeffery M. 04 February 2014 (has links) The atomic metal anions Rb-, Cs-, Cu-, Ag- and Fe- have been generated in the gas phase and reacted with various neutral reactants in a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The metal anions were formed via electrospray ionization of the metal-oxalate solutions and form in gas phase between the capillary and the first quadrupole. Neutral gas phase reactants investigated include NO, NO2, SO2, C6F5OH, C6F5NH2, C6F6, E-octafluoro-butene and 1,2,3/1,2,4/1,3,5 trifluoro-benzene. When possible, CBS-4M methods were used to suggest the lowest energy products based on relative energy. Observed reactions of atomic metal anions with the aforementioned neutral species include electron transfer and dissociative electron transfer to the neutral gas phase reactants. In addition, hydrogen abstraction and fluorine abstraction forming a neutral metal hydride or fluoride as well as the formation of multiply substituted metal-oxide/fluoride anions was also observed. Metal-complex anions observed from the gas phase reactions include CuF-,CuF2-,CuO-,CuO2-, FeO-, FeO2-, FeO3-, FeF-, FeF2-, FeF3-, CsF- and CsF2-.

245	Progress towards a new parity non-conservation measurement in cesium-133 Yao De George Toh (6858197) 16 August 2019 (has links) Atomic parity violation measurements provide a way to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. They can provide constraints on conjectures of a massive Z′ bosonor a light boson, or searches of dark energy. Using the two-pathway coherent control technique, our group plans to make a new measurement of the weak interaction induced parity non-conservation (PNC) transition moment (<i>E<sub>PNC</sub></i>) on the cesium 6S→7S transition. We will coherently interfere a 2-photon transition with the Stark and PNC transitions to amplify and extract the PNC amplitude. Previously, our lab has measured the magnetic dipole transition moment on the same 6S→7S transition to about 0.4% uncertainty using this technique. In this dissertation, I discuss improvements made to the system, and review what future upgrades are needed for a new<i> E</i><sub><i>PNC </i></sub>measurement. Key systematics are also described. For an accurate determination of <i>E<sub>PNC</sub></i>, properties of cesium such as the scalar (<i>α</i>) and vector (<i>β</i>) transition polarizabilities are needed. I present improved determinations of keyelectric dipole matrix elements, and calculate new high precision determinations of <i>α</i> and <i>β</i>. Finally, using <i>β</i> and the previously measured value of <i>E<sub>PNC</sub>/β</i>, I calculate new values for the weak charge of the cesium nucleus Q<sub>w</sub>.<br> Atomic Physics cesium parity nonconservation atomic parity violation precision measurements electric dipole matrix elements polarizability lifetime measurement lifetime atomic physics atomic molecular and optical AMO
246	Réalisation d'une source d'électrons par ionisation d'un jet d'atomes de césium refroidis par laser / Realization of an electron source by ionization of a laser-cooled cesium atomic beam Khalili, Guyve 10 July 2015 (has links) Les faisceaux d’électrons et d’ions sont au cœur de nombreuses techniques instrumentales servant à explorer, analyser et agir sur des matériaux à l’échelle du micromètre au nanomètre (Microscopie électronique, spectrométrie d’électrons, techniques de « FIB »). Les limites de résolution spatiale et énergétique de ces techniques dépendent en grande partie des propriétés des sources qu’elles utilisent et en particulier de leur température de fonctionnement. De fait, depuis plus de 10 ans, le potentiel des atomes froids ionisés comme nouveau type de source d’électrons ou d’ions est intensivement exploré.Le projet expérimental réalisé au LAC et décrit dans cette thèse utilise un jet d’atomes de césium issu d’un piège magnéto-optique à deux dimensions. La température transverse du jet est de l’ordre de 100 µK. Malgré cela, le jet est encore trop divergent après la sortie de la zone de refroidissement pour notre expérience. Afin guider le jet d’atomes jusqu’à la zone d’ionisation, nous avons étudié une méthode particulière de guidage dipolaire. L’utilisation d’un seul laser convenablement réglé nous a permis de guider et pousser les atomes du jet en même temps tout en limitant le chauffage. Nous avons ainsi pu compresser avec ce laser pousseur-guideur le jet d’atomes sur un diamètre de 400 µm à 60 cm de la zone de refroidissement du PMO-2D.Le jet est ensuite ionisé par la méthode d’ionisation en champ électrique statique d’atomes de Rydberg. Les atomes sont tout d’abord excités par laser sur un état de Rydberg (n~30) en présence d’un champ électrique uniforme et homogène. Les atomes du jet ainsi excités voyagent vers une zone présentant un fort gradient de champ où ils vont alors s’ioniser autour de la même valeur de potentiel, réduisant ainsi la taille de la zone d’ionisation et donc de la dispersion en énergie potentielle initiale du faisceau d’électron. La probabilité d’ionisation des atomes dans le champ dépend grandement de l’état de Rydberg préalablement excité. Le choix de l’état de Rydberg optimal, i.e. qui a une probabilité d’ionisation la plus grande possible, nécessite une étude de l’ionisation des états de Rydberg du césium. Un modèle à deux niveaux est présenté dans cette thèse qui permet de retrouver le comportement d’ionisation d’état de Rydberg observé expérimentalement. Ce modèle simple nous a permis de comprendre quel type d’état nous devions exciter. Enfin une étude expérimentale est également présentée. / Electron and Ion beams are at the base of many instrumental techniques used to explore, to analyse and to modify materials from the micrometer to the manometer scale (Electronic Microscopy, Electron Spectrometry, Focused Ion beams techniques…). Spatial and Energetic resolutions of these techniques are strongly dependent on its source‘s properties and particularly their working temperature. In fact, for more than ten years, the potential of ionised cold atoms have been intensively studied. Our experiment at LAC, described in this thesis, uses a 2 dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D-MOT) to create a caesium atomic beam. The transverse temperature of the beam is around 100 µK. Despite this, the beam is still too divergent after exiting the cooling area. To guide the atomic beam up to the ionisation area, we have studied and implemented a particular method of dipolar guiding. The use of a unique laser properly set allowed us to push and guide altogether the atoms of the beam while limiting the heating effect. Thus, we have managed to compress the atomic beam’s size to 400 µm at 60 cm from the output of the MOT.Afterward, the atomic beam is ionised by the method of Rydberg (static) field ionisation. The atoms are firstly excited by laser on a Rydberg state (n~30) as a static homogeneous and uniform electric field is applied. The excited atoms of beam travel therefore to a high-gradient field area where they ionise around the same electric potential value, therefore reducing the ionisation area’s size and the initial potential energy spread of the electron beam. The ionisation probability of the atoms in the field depends greatly on the excited Rydberg state. The choice of an optimal Rydberg state , i.e. with the highest probability of ionisation, needs better knowledge of the ionisation of cesium Rydberg states. A two levels model us to describe the ionisation behaviour of some Ryberg. This simple models helps to understand what kind of states we want to excite in order to optimise the ionisation area‘s size. An experimental study of cesium Rydberg states is also presented.

Tuboy, Aparecida Marika 13 July 1990 (has links) Um dos primeiros requisitos para utilização de lasers de diodo em espectroscopia é sua estabilização térmica. Neste trabalho desenvolvemos um sistema de controle de temperatura para laser de diodo que permite estabilização melhor que 0.01&#176C. O controle é feito através de um sistema sensor e um elemento Peltier como atuador. Lasers somente estabilizados em temperatura (estabilização primária) foram utilizados para realização de espectroscopia de vapores atômicos de Rb e Cs. / One of the first requisites for utilization of diode lasers in spectroscopy is its thermal stabilization.

Cristais de cintilação baseados em iodeto de césio (Csl) são materiais que apresentam higroscopia relativamente baixa, número atômico alto, fácil manuseio e custo baixo, características que favorecem o seu uso como detectores de radiação. Neste trabalho descreve-se a obtenção de cristais Csl puro, Csl:Br e Csl:Pb, utilizando-se a técnica de Bridgman. A concentração do elemento dopante bromo (Br) foi estudada no intervalo de 1,5x10-1 M a 10-2 M e o elemento chumbo (Pb) no intervalo de 10-2 M a 5x10-4 M. Para avaliar os cintiladores desenvolvidos foram efetuadas medidas sistemáticas de emissão de luminescência e tempo de decaimento de luminescência para a radiação gama, ensaios de transmitância óptica, ensaios de microdureza Vickers, determinações da distribuição dos dopantes ao longo dos cristais crescidos e análise da resposta dos cristais à radiação gama no intervalo de energia de 350 keV a 1330 keV e partículas alfa provenientes de fonte de 241Am com energia de 5,54 MeV. Os resultados obtidos de tempo de decaimento de luminescência para os cristais CsI:Br e CsI:Pb, no intervalo de 13 ns a 19 ns, mostraram-se promissores para medidas de alta energia. O estudo de microdureza mostrou um aumento significativo em função da concentração dos elementos dopantes, quando comparado ao cristal Csl puro, melhorando desta forma a resistência mecânica dos cristais crescidos. A validade de utilização desses cristais como sensores de radiação para medidas de radiação gama e partículas alfa, pode ser demonstrada pelos resultados da resposta à radiação. / Inorganic scintillators with fast luminescence decay time, high density and high light output have been the object of studies for application in nuclear physics, high energy physics, nuclear tomography and other fields of science and engineering. Scintillation crystals based on cesium iodide (CsI) are matters with relatively low higroscopy, high atomic number, easy handling and low cost, characteristics that favor their use as radiation detectors. In this work, the growth of pure CsI crystals, CsI:Br and CsI:Pb, using the Bridgman technique, is described. The concentration of the bromine doping element (Br) was studied in the range of 1,5x10-1 M to 10-2 M and the lead (Pb) in the range of 10-2 M to 5x10-4 M. To evaluate the scintillators developed, systematic measurements were carried out for luminescence emission and luminescence decay time for gamma radiation, optical transmittance assays, Vickers micro-hardness assays, determination of the doping elements distribution along the grown crystals and analysis of crystals response to the gamma radiation in the energy range of 350 keV to 1330 keV and alpha particles from a 241Am source, with energy of 5.54 MeV. It was obtained 13 ns to 19 ns for luminescence decay time for CsI:Br and CsI:Pb crystals. These results were very promising. The results obtained for micro-hardness showed a significant increase in function of the doping elements concentration, when compared to the pure CsI crystal, increasing consequently the mechanical resistance of the grown crystals. The validity of using these crystals as radiation sensors may be seen from the results of their response to gamma radiation and alpha particles. bridgman method bromine cesium iodides cintiladores cristais crystal growth detectores doped materials energy resolution experimental data gamma spectra gamma spectroscopy lead neutron activation analysis solid scintillation detectors vickers hardness X-ray diffraction X-ray fluorescence analysis

250	Transparence induite électromagnétiquement et mémoires quantiques sur la raie D2 du césium : effet de l'élargissement inhomogène dans une structure atomique multi-niveaux Scherman, Michael 27 March 2012 (has links) (PDF) Parce qu'il permet une interaction lumière-matière forte, contrôlable, et cohérente, le phénomène de transparence induite électromagnétiquement (EIT) trouve aujourd'hui des applications dans un champ très large de la physique. Cependant, sur la raie D2 du 133Cs, la transparence expérimentalement mesurée est très faible en présence d'élargissement inhomogène. Nous menons donc une étude théorique qui prend en compte les multiples niveaux excités de la raie et précise leur influence sur l'EIT. Elle conclut à l'existence de classes de vitesses atomiques particulières, responsables de la diminution de la transparence. Nous proposons alors une méthode originale permettant de restaurer l'EIT en creusant localement la distribution de vitesses. L'augmentation ainsi prévue de la transparence est ensuite vérifiée expérimentalement. Deux expériences de mémoire par EIT sont ensuite présentées. Dans la première, deux quadratures orthogonales d'une bande latérale unique sont stockées dans une vapeur chaude de cesium, puis relues sans mesurer d'excès de bruit. Dans la seconde, le stockage d'un état cohérent en régime de photon unique est obtenu dans un nuage d'atomes froids. Afin de préparer le stockage de lumière non classique, l'asservissement de la mesure d'un état comprimé sur une quadrature fixe a été réalisé. Ce montage doit permettre de démontrer l'intrication déterministe de deux ensembles atomiques.
