U-mode

There are two components of the transverse nuclear magnetization one in phase with the field H, and one ir/2 out of phase with Hi. The former is known as the dispersion mode or u mode magnetization, and the latter as the absorption mode or v mode magnetization. That is, referring to Fig. 2, will lag or lead Hi as the resonance is traversed. The magnetic radiofrequency susceptibilities are defined by... 

Figure 14 shows the result of a Brillouin scattering experiment in the vicinity of Tc [11]. Closed circles and open circles below Tc indicate the modes split from the doubly degenerated ferroelectric soft mode. The closed circles above Tc denote the frequency of the doubly degenerated soft u mode in the paraelectric phase. The results clearly show a softening of the soft mode toward zero frequency at Tc following the Curie-Weiss law. The soft mode remains underdamped even at Tc. Generally, a soft mode is heavily damped in the vicinity of Tc, e.g., as for PbTiOs, which are typical displacive-type...

For H2Re2(CO)8 (D2A symmetry) (20), three M-H-M vibrational bands are expected in both the ir and Raman spectra, with no coincidences between the two because of the center of symmetry (shown on page 227). The 2Ag Re-Re stretching and B2U Re-H-Re bending modes would be expected to occur at low energy (<300 cm-1). The Raman spectrum (Figure 7) shows two bands at 1382 and 1275 cm 1, which shift as expected to 973 and 922 cm 1 upon deuteration. These are thus assigned to the 2Ag and B2g modes. The ir spectrum shows a somewhat broad band at 1249 cm 1, which is probably a composite of both the B u and B u modes. 

Before and after resonance, there are magnetization components of opposite sign 180° out of phase and in phase (+ u and - u direction) with the rf field B1 i (Fig. 1.8). At resonance, there is no magnetization in the u direction. If the receiver coil obtains the inductance current in phase with Bli (the u direction), a dispersion curve (Fig. 1.9) results, called the u mode. When the absorption or out of phase spectrum ( ) reaches its maximum (/ind (oj) = max.), the dispersion or in phase spectrum ( ) goes through zero and changes its sign, as illustrated in Fig. 1.9. 

If the real part v(a>) of the NMR spectrum is computed in the absorption (r) mode, the imaginary part is usually displayed in the dispersion (h) mode. The magnitude spectrum is therefore related to the t and u modes as indicated in eq. (1.37).

Several steps (spectra 2, 3, and 4) of the relative evolution of a vibrational out-of-plane u mode of TCNQ resulting from an extensive recrushing of KBr pellet. Comparison is made with the spectrum of the initial pellet (spectrum 1). (From Ref. 39.)...

Due to the mutual exclusion rule, g modes (except Ajg) are Raman active, while u modes (except Ai ) are infrared active. We thus expect the internal modes to give rise to three bands in the Raman spectrum and to three bands in the infrared. In order to determine the lattice modes, we have to consider the carbonate anions with 6 degrees of freedom each and two calcium cations with three degrees of freedom. One obtains 2x6-1-2x3 3=15 lattice vibrations and 3 acoustic modes. These can be classified...

The vibrational frequencies for SF6 and SFg are collected in Table 14 together with the experimental data for SF6 (38, 39). Only the t u modes are infrared active. Their calculated intensities are 15 and 397 km mol-1 for SF6 and 80 and 485 kmmol-1 for SFg. For SF6, the calculated harmonic frequencies are smaller than the experimental values. All frequencies are positive, indicating that the stationary points are genuine minima both for SF6 and for SFg. ... 

Recently, Carter and Handy have addressed this very effectively by incorporating the approach taken in MULTIMODE into the Reaction Path Hamiltonian (RPH) [60]. In this approach one special, large amplitude mode is singled out and the u-mode coupling idea is applied to the normal modes orthogonal to this mode. The kinetic energy operator is somewhat complex and is given elsewhere [60]. This version of MULTIMODE is denoted MULTIMODE-RPH or abbreviated as MM-RPH. 

The effect of these two corrections is best shown (in Table 3) by the close examination of the t u mode of various isotopomers of Cr(CO)e in methane matrices at 20 K. 

Conventional condensed phase e.s.r. studies usually employ a rectangular cavity, but most gas phase studies have been made using cylindrical cavities operating in the so-called TEon mode. In a TE u mode, TE stand for transverse electric , the integer m represents the number ofE field maxima in a 180° angle measured in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, n represents the number of E field maxima betweeu the ceutre and the wall, and p is the number of E field maxima along the axis... 

At T in the CH2 wagging progression we clearly locate W5, W7, W9, and Wn as in the case of the solid, but the frequencies of these components are rigidly shifted toward higher frequencies for a few wavenumbers (Figure 3-50). The other CH-> wagging motions are overlapped by the CH U mode which shifts to 1378cm". ... 

Surface phonon frequencies of Pt determined for the u modes Eq. (4.S). In the calculation we have used a slab formed by 19 planes. 

In general, all g modes are Raman active while the u modes are infrared active. 

In other words, we expect to see only one C-O stretching hand in the infrared spectrum of this complex. Displayed on the right is the infrared spectrum of tra s-Mo(CO)4[P(OC6H5)3]2. It is clear that the prominent hand near 1950 cm should be taken as the u mode. On the other hand, we also see two much weaker bands near 2020 and 1980 cm . Explain succinctly why we see these two spectral lines at all. 

Doping EuO has no strong influence on the TO mode, for EuO+ 1.26% Gd it shifts to shorter wavelengths by about 10% (Giintherodt and Wachter, 1973c). However, as new effect one observes now a coupling between plasmons and LO phonon modes, resulting in a more phonon like mode and a more plasmon like u- mode.
