Helium temperatures

The second observation is that the EB-curable adhesive resins show no change in adhesive properties from liquid helium temperatures up to temperatures Just below their service temperatures. This can be seen for the adhesives, EB2000 and 1 1L. At this time there is no explanation for this behavior. 

Optical detection of magnetic resonance (ODMR) was attempted for measurements of the pH effects on the triplet state of purine to investigate the protonation site of purine at low temperatures (78JA7131). The ODMR spectrum did not show the presence of more than one triplet state at liquid helium temperatures. Since the protonated tautomers 1H,9H (3a) and H,1H (3b) have similar bond structures, their triplets should have similar zero-field parameters and are thus not easy to distinguish by ODMR.

The quadrupole effects mentioned in Section I.B.(l) apparently are small, as magnetic susceptibility measurements18 have revealed that the energy differences between different orientations of an oxygen molecule in a /3-hydroquinone cavity become only noticeable at liquid helium temperatures. 

An important accessory in many applications of Mossbauer spectroscopy is a cryostat for low temperature and temperature-dependent measurements. This may be necessary to keep samples frozen or to overcome small Debye-Waller factors of the absorbers at room temperature in the case of an isotope with high y-energy. Paramagnetic samples are measured at liquid-helium temperatures to slow down... 

The recoil-free fraction /a of transition metal complexes or proteins in frozen solution can be as small as 0.1-0.3, when measured just below the melting point, but the /-factor increases strongly when the temperature is lowered to fiquid nitrogen temperatures (77 K), and at fiquid helium temperatures (4.2 K) it may reach values of 0.7-0.9 [35]. This makes a substantial difference to the acquisition time of the spectra because of the square dependency on the signal (3.1). 

Experimental isomer shifts, exp, should be corrected for the contribution of soD in order to avoid misinterpretations. The value of (5sod drops with temperature and becomes vanishingly small at liquid helium temperature, because is proportional to the mean kinetic energy of the Mossbauer atom. In practice, sod may already be negligible at liquid nitrogen temperature it rarely exceeds —0.02 mm s at 77 K. At room temperature, 3soo rnay be as large as —0.1 mm s or more (Fig. 4.2).

The sources most commonly used so far consisted of sintered disks containing about 100 mg ZnO enriched with 90% Zn. The disks were irradiated with 12 MeV deuterons or 30 MeV He particles, to yield the 78 h activity of Ga, and then annealed by heating in oxygen to 700-1,000 K for about 12 h and cooling down slowly (about 50 K h ) to room temperature. A Nal scintillation counter, 2-3 mm thick, is suitable for the detection of the 93 keV y-rays. Because of the relatively high transition energy, both source and absorber are generally kept at liquid helium temperature. 

The precursor of ° Ru is ° Rh (tip, = 3 years). It is prepared by irradiating natural ruthenium metal with 20 MeV deuterons, " Ru (d, n) Rh. The target is then allowed to decay for several months to diminish the accompanying Rh activity. In a report on ° Ru Mossbauer spectroscopy [111], the authors reported on spectra of Ru metal, RuOa, and [Ru(NH3)4(HS03)2] at liquid helium temperature in standard transmission geometry using a Ge(Li) diode to detect the 127 keV y-rays. The absorber samples contained 1 g of ruthenium per cm. ... 

The lr Mossbauer experiments are usually carried out in transmission geometry with both source and absorber kept at liquid helium temperature and a Ge(Li) diode or a 3 mm Nal(Tl) crystal used to detect the 73 keV y-rays. The absorbers typically contain 50-500 mg cm of natural iridium, which contains 62.7% of the Mossbauer isotope lr. The isomer shifts are generally given with respect to iridium metal (the isomer shift between Os/Os and Ir metal is (0.540 0.004) mm s at 4.2 K ([268]).
