Do you know the meaning of the Zero phonon or phonon-assisted?
 
Physics news on Phys.org


phonon-assisted ... what?

phohon-assisted scattering, tunneling, ..?

also what is the context of zero phonon?
 


Zero phonon: during emission and absorbtion there is no lattice excitation (Mössbauer effect)-here information on the hyperfine interactions (or n=0 so E=hv/2).
Phonon assisted:together with zero phonon, there will be side bands. These side bands are assisted by Mössbauer effect. Here you get information on phonon density of states..
these informations can be obtained from nuclear inelastic scattering-NIS (a.k.a. nuclear inelastic absorption, nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy-NRVS, phonon assisted Mössbauer effect, Nuclear resonant inelastic X-ray scattering-NRIXS).
Just try for find some quantum book, or a Mössbauer book..you will get all info there.
PS: Mössbauer effect discovered in 1957, Theorists predicted that there will be phonon assisted Mössbauer effect (side bands) in 1960, after first experiments in 1985, first NIS side band spectrum published in 1995 (help of synchrotron sources).

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...

Thread 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
