Bacterial motility plays a key role in important cell processes such as chemotaxis and biofilm formation, but is challenging to quantify due to the small size of the individual microorganisms and the complex interplay of biological and physical factors that influence motility phenotypes. Swimming, the first type of motility described in bacteria, still remains largely unquantified. Light microscopy has enabled qualitative characterization of swimming patterns seen in different strains, such as run and tumble, run-reverse-flick, run and slow, stop and coil, and push and pull, which has allowed for elucidation of the underlying physics. However, quantifying these behaviors (e.g., identifying …

Topological insulators (TI) are quantum states of (2D/3D) matter with an insulating interior but conducting edge/surface states, with these boundary conducting states being protected topologically by time-reversal symmetry. Composite materials of heavy atoms such as Bi2Te3 can be fabricated to show TI properties due to the strong intrinsic spin-orbit coupling of the electrons in these materials. Among the so many intriguing physical properties of these materials, their topological magneto-electric (TME) response is unique and has been studied intensively in the literature, leading to intriguing optical effects such as Faraday and Kerr rotations of incident polarized beams at …

Analytical Results For The Three-Body Radiative Attachment Rate Coefficient, With Application To The Positive Antihydrogen Ion H̄+, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
To overcome the numerical difficulties inherent in the Maxwell–Boltzmann integral of the velocity-weighted cross section that gives the radiative attachment rate coefficient αRA for producing the negative hydrogen ion H− or its antimatter equivalent, the positive antihydrogen ion H¯+ , we found the analytic form for this integral. This procedure is useful for temperatures below 700 K, the region for which the production of H¯+ has potential use as an intermediate stage in the cooling of antihydrogen to ultra-cold (sub-mK) temperatures for spectroscopic studies and probing the gravitational interaction of the anti-atom. Our results, utilizing a 50-term …

Polarization In The Production Of The Antihydrogen Ion, Casey A. Yazejian, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
We provide estimates of both the cross section and rate coefficient for the radiative attachment of a second positron to create the H̅+ ion, H̅(1s)+e+→H̅+(1s2 1Se)+ℏω, for which the polarization of the initial state H̅(1s) is taken into account. We show how to analytically integrate the resulting six-dimensional, three-body integrals for wave functions composed of explicitly correlated exponentials, a result that may be extended to Hylleraas wave functions. We extend Bhatia’s polarization results for the equivalent matter problem down to the low temperatures required for the Gravitational Behaviour of Antihydrogen …

We show that background fringe-pattern subtraction is a useful technique for removing static noise from off-axis holographic reconstructions and can enhance image contrast in volumetric reconstructions by an order of magnitude in the case for instruments with relatively stable fringes. We demonstrate the fundamental principle of this technique and introduce some practical considerations that must be made when implementing this scheme, such as quantifying fringe stability. This work also shows an experimental verification of the background fringe subtraction scheme using various biological samples.

Chemical design of SiO2-based glasses with high elastic moduli and low weight is of great interest. However, it is difficult to find a universal expression to predict the elastic moduli according to the glass composition before synthesis since the elastic moduli are a complex function of interatomic bonds and their ordering at different length scales. Here we show that the densities and elastic moduli of SiO2-based glasses can be efficiently predicted by machine learning (ML) techniques across a complex compositional space with multiple (>10) types of additive oxides besides SiO2. Our machine learning approach relies on a training set …
Photoemission Electron Microscopy To Characterize Slow Light In A Photonic Crystal Line Defect, Theodore Stedmark, Rolf Könenkamp
Photoemission Electron Microscopy To Characterize Slow Light In A Photonic Crystal Line Defect, Theodore Stedmark, Rolf Könenkamp
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
Using femtosecond nonlinear photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) we provide a detailed characterization of slow light in a small-size asymmetric photonic crystal structure. We show that PEEM is capable of providing a unique description of the light propagation in such structures by direct imaging of the guided mode. This noninvasive characterization technique allows modal properties such as effective index, phase velocities, and group velocities to be determined. Combining experimental results with finite element method simulation calculations, we study slow light phenomena in a photonic crystal defect mode, and we produce a comprehensive picture of the mechanisms behind it. Our results illustrate …

There is no reductionist definition of life, so the way organisms look, behave, and move is the most definitive way to identify extraterrestrial life. Life elsewhere in the Solar System is likely to be microbial, but no microscope capable of imaging prokaryotic life has ever flown on a lander mission to a habitable planet. Nonetheless, high-resolution microscopes have been developed that are appropriate for planetary exploration. Traditional light microscopy, interferometric microscopy, light-field microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and electron microscopy are all possible techniques for the detection of extant micro-organisms on Mars and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn.

Photoelectrochemical cell-typed self-powered UV detectors have attracted intensive research interest due to their low cost, simple fabrication process, and fast response. In this paper, SnO2-TiO2 nanomace arrays composed of SnO2 nanotube trunk and TiO2 nanobranches were prepared using soft chemical methods, and an environment-friendly self-powered UV photodetector using this nanostructure as the photoanode was assembled. Due to the synergistic effect of greatly accelerated electron-hole separation, enhanced surface area, and reduced charge recombination provided by SnO2-TiO2 nanomace array, the nanostructured detector displays an excellent performance over that based on bare SnO2 arrays. The impact of the growing time of TiO2 branches …

When simulating the formation and life cycle of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) with chemical transport models, it is often assumed that organic molecules are well mixed within SOA particles on the timescale of 1 h. While this assumption has been debated vigorously in the literature, the issue remains unresolved in part due to a lack of information on the mixing times within SOA particles as a function of both temperature and relative humidity. Using laboratory data, meteorological fields, and a chemical transport model, we estimated how often mixing times are < 1 h within SOA in the planetary boundary layer (PBL), the region of the atmosphere where SOA concentrations are on average the highest. First, a parameterization for viscosity as a function of temperature and RH was developed for α-pinene SOA using room-temperature and low-temperature viscosity data for α-pinene SOA generated in the laboratory using mass concentrations of ∼ 1000 µg m−3. Based on this parameterization, the mixing times within α-pinene SOA are < 1 h for 98.5 % and 99.9 % of the occurrences in the PBL during January and July, respectively, when concentrations are significant (total organic aerosol concentrations are > 0.5 µg m−3 at the surface). Next, as a starting …

Metal chalcogenides based on the C–M–M–C (C = chalcogen, M = metal) structure possess several attractive properties that can be utilized in both electrical and optical devices. We have shown that specular, large area films of y-InSe and Sb2Se3 can be grown via atomic layer deposition (ALD) at relatively low temperatures. Optical (absorption, Raman), crystalline (X-ray diffraction), and composition (XPS) properties of these films have been measured and compared to those reported for exfoliated films and have been found to be similar. Heterostructures composed of a layer of y-InSe (intrinsically n-type) followed by a layer of …

We report specialized interplane magnetoresistance (MR) measurements on the organic superconducting compound β″–(BEDT-TTF)₂SF₅CH₂CF₂SO₃ (where BEDT-TTF is bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) in both the superconducting (Tc ∼ 5K) and normal states versus magnetic field direction. In the normal state, detailed angular-dependent magnetoresistance oscillation (AMRO) studies reveal peculiar features of the Fermi surface topology of this compound, and very high magnetic field studies further support the unusual nature of the electronic structure. In the superconducting state we investigate, through detailedAMRO measurements, the anomalous MR peak that appears within the superconducting field-temperature phase diagram. Our results reveal a direct connection between the superconducting state determined from …
Enhanced Magnetic Quantum Oscillations In The Mixed State Of A Two-Dimensional Organic Superconductor, J. Wosnitza, J. Hagel, P. J. Meeson, D. Bintley, J. A. Schlueter, Javid Mohtasham, Rolf Walter Winter, Gary L. Gard

We report on de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations observed in the mixed state of the organic superconductor β″–(BEDT-TTF)₂SF₅CH₂CF₂SO₃ (BEDT-TTF stands for bisethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalene) utilizing the field-modulation technique and torque magnetometry. At low temperatures (30 mK), the dHvA signal persists down to 1.4 T well below the upper critical field Bc2≈3.6T. Contrary to most theoretical predictions and previous experimental findings, no additional damping of the dHvA-oscillation amplitude, but a reduced damping of the dHvA signal is found. This highly unusual effect might indicate a reduced quasiparticle scattering rate or an additional oscillatory contribution in the superconducting state.
Coherent Vs Incoherent Interlayer Transport In Layered Metals, Gary L. Gard, J. Wosnitza, J. Hagel, J. S. Qualls, J. S. Brooks, E. Balthes, D. Schweitzer, J. A. Schlueter, U. Geiser, Javid Mohtasham, Rolf Walter Winter

The magnetic-field, temperature, and angular dependence of the interlayer magnetoresistance of two different quasi-two-dimensional (2D) organic superconductors is reported. For k -BEDT-TTF)₂I₃, where BEDTTTF is bisethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalene, we find a well-resolved peak in the angle-dependent magnetoresistance at Q590°(field parallel to the layers). This clear-cut proof for the coherent nature of the interlayer transport is absent for β″–(BEDT-TTF)₂SF₅CH₂CF₂SO₃. This and the nonmetallic behavior of the magnetoresistance suggest an incoherent quasiparticle motion for the latter 2D metal.

X-ray diffraction and calorimetry data on cubic NaxC60(1<x60, e.g., Tm(x=1.3)=325 K. The ordered phases are the same as in pure C60: simple cubic, space group Pa3¯, but the orientations in the disordered phase are more restricted. We explain how Na stabilizes the ordered phase to rather high T, while K and Rb do not, in terms of Coulomb interactions between C60 molecules and and Na ions which we calculate from the local charge density of C60.

Cross sections for positronium formation by capture from the negative hydrogen ion are given. Orthogonalization corrections to the Coulomb (first-order) Born approximation (CBA) differential and total cross sections are calculated using approximate H- wave functions of both Löwdin [Phys. Rev. 90, 123 (1953)] and Chandrasekhar [Astrophys. J. 100, 176 (1944)]. The present calculation of the CBA cross sections using the post interaction for Löwdin’s wave function (LCBAPS) disagrees with the calculation of Choudhury, Mukherjee, and Sural (CMS) [Phys. Rev. A 33, 2358 (1986)], whereas our results using the prior interaction agree. Thus, where CMS found an order …
Fock-Tani Hamiltonian For Reactions Involving Two-Electron Atoms, Jack C. Straton
Fock-Tani Hamiltonian For Reactions Involving Two-Electron Atoms, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The Fock-Tani Hamiltonian is found for scattering processes involving up to two ions and two electrons. Possible bound-state species include one or two electrons bound on an ion fixed at the origin, and a one-electron projectile atom. A diagrammatic technique is illustrated that simplifies the algebra of the transformation. Coulomb- or plane-wave states are automatically generated by the same asymptotic Hamiltonian for all arrangement channels.
Double Excitation Of Helium By Fast Particles Of Charge Z, James H. Mcguire, Jack C. Straton
Double Excitation Of Helium By Fast Particles Of Charge Z, James H. Mcguire, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
Results of calculations of double excitation of helium to n=2 states for fast projectiles of charge Z are presented. Nonzero Z3 contributions for single and double excitation occur only when time-ordering contributions from the second-order amplitude are nonzero. For double excitation, electron correlation must also be nonzero to obtain Z3 terms. The time-ordering effects arise from virtual off-energy-shell intermediate states. As with second-order amplitudes for Thomas singularities in electron capture, the energy-nonconserving amplitude is connected to the second-order energy-conserving amplitude by a dispersion relation. Comparison is made with experiment.
First-Order Amplitude For General State-To-State Transitions In Hydrogen By Projectile Impact, Jack C. Straton
First-Order Amplitude For General State-To-State Transitions In Hydrogen By Projectile Impact, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The closed analytic form for bound-state transitions due to projectile impact is found in the intermediate representation. The coordinate integral is obtained by evaluating the remaining two integrals in the general multicenter integral derived previously [J.C. Straton, Phys. Rev. A 41, 71 (1990)]. Evaluating the remaining time integral depends upon relating a sum of modified Bessel functions of the second kind KN+1/2(z) to a simple polynomial in 1/z. The results of Van Den Bos and De Heer [Physica 34, 333 (1967)] are shown to be missing a phase factor of (-i)(l′+l)

Reduced Form For Coulomb-Wave Multicenter Integrals, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
In a previous paper [J. C. Straton, Phys. Rev. A 41, 71 (1990)] an integro-differential transform was introduced and utilized to obtain the analytically reduced form for multicenter integrals composed of general-state hydrogenic orbitals, Yukawa or Coulomb potentials, and plane waves. The present paper extends this result to include Coulomb waves.

In a previous paper Gaussian transforms were utilized to obtain the analytically reduced form for the class of multicenter integrals containing a product of hydrogenic orbitals for s states, Yukawa or Coulomb potentials, and plane waves. In the present paper a related transformation is developed for nonspherical functions, leading to the reduced form for multicenter integrals that include hydrogenic orbitals representing states of arbitrary angular momentum.

Classical Thomas peaks in various fast second-order particle transfer processes are quantum mechanically broadened by energy nonconservation in the intermediate states of collision. This quantum broadening is considered in observable velocity distributions of recoil particles.
Post-Prior Symmetrical First-Order T Matrix For Charge Transfer, Jack C. Straton, M. D. Girardeau
Post-Prior Symmetrical First-Order T Matrix For Charge Transfer, Jack C. Straton, M. D. Girardeau
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The Fock-Tani Hamiltonian is found for systems containing two protons and one electron. It is shown that a post-prior symmetrical T-matrix element for a+ + (b+ c-)→(a+ c-)+b+ may be found from that of the simpler proton-proton-electron system if a and b are treated as isospin projections of a single type of nucleon. The Coulomb-exchange contribution to the inelastic (isospin flip) scattering of this system gives a first-order T matrix that is completely symmetrical with respect to post and prior interactions and orthogonalizations, a symmetry of the exact …
Analytically Reduced Form For The Class Of Integrals Containing Multicenter Products Of 1s Hydrogenic Orbitals, Coulomb Or Yukawa Potentials, And Plane Waves, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The class of integrals containing the product of N 1s hydrogenic orbitals and M Coulomb or Yukawa potentials with m plane waves is investigated analytically. The results obtained by Straton (1989) are extended and generalized. It is shown that the dimensionality of the entire class can be reduced from 3m to M+N-1.
Fourier Transform Of The Multicenter Product Of 1s Hydrogenic Orbitals And Coulomb Or Yukawa Potentials And The Analytically Reduced Form For Subsequent Integrals That Include Plane Waves, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The Fourier transform of the multicenter product of N 1s hydrogenic orbitals and M Coulomb or Yukawa potentials is given as an (M+N-1)-dimensional Feynman integral with external momenta and shifted coordinates. This is accomplished through the introduction of an integral transformation, in addition to the standard Feynman transformation for the denominators of the momentum representation of the terms in the product, which moves the resulting denominator into an exponential. This allows the angular dependence of the denominator to be combined with the angular dependence in the plane waves.

The Fock-Tani transformation in the Jacobi three ⟶ two-body reduced-mass system is carried out and the first-order T matrix is found to be identical to that for the full three-body transformation. The Fock-Tani transformation in the reduced-mass system in which particle b is fixed at the origin is found to give a first-order T matrix with an error of mc /mb in the initial momentum wave function. First-order differential and total cross sections are calculated for a+ + (b+c-)⟶(a+c-) + b+ where |abc|= { …

Fourier Transform Of The Product Of N One-Center Hydrogenic Orbitals, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
Integrating the radial part of the Fourier transform of the product of N hydrogenic orbitals results in an associated Legendre function that can be reduced to a finite series of elementary functions. This transform is found to depend on a polynomial in the wave vector k divided by a binomial in k2 raised to a power that is the sum of principle quantum numbers. This form facilitates the analytical reduction of integrals arising from orthogonalization corrections in atomic processes. Transforms for the product of orbital pairs (1s,1s) through (1s,3d) are given …

Fock-Tani Transformation And A First-Order Theory Of Charge Transfer, P. C. Ojha, M. D. Girardeau, J. D. Gilbert, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
A unitary (Fock-Tani) transformation of the second-quantized Hamiltonian breaks the interaction into its component parts, e.g., elastic scattering, inelastic scattering, rearrangement interaction, etc. The interaction for a particular process is ‘‘weaker’’ than the overall interaction; this is reflected in certain orthogonality corrections which appear in a perturbation expansion of the T-matrix element. As a result, the internuclear potential makes a negligible contribution of order me/mp to the first-order amplitude for charge transfer. We find very good agreement with experimental and the best available theoretical results for the total cross section for the reaction p+H(1s)→H(1s)+p for …
