    Excited electronic states of flavin-containing coenzyme models
    (1988) Gückel, Friedemann; Schweitzer, Dieter; Becker, Katja; Schirmer, Rolf Heiner; Zipplies, Matthias F.; Staab, Heinz A.
    In order to gain further insight into the physical basis of flavin-catalyzed reactions, the interactions of a flavin with a second flavin and with other aromatic ring systems were studied. For this purpose compounds through 1 were synthesized These compounds contain the interacting units in defined geometric orientation. A monomeric flavin and glutathione reductase a flavoenzyme of known active-site chemistry, were included as reference molecules. The present report deals with excited triplet states of the flavin compounds as studied by optical spectroscopy and optically detected magnetic resonances (ODMR) at 1.3K.

    Self-consistent modelling of pulsar magnetospheres
    (1989) Herold, Heinz; Ertl, Thomas; Finkbeiner, Bernd; Ruder, Hanns
    The magnetosphere of a rapidly rotating, strongly magnetized neutron star with aligned magnetic and rotational axes (parallel rotator) is modelled numerically. Including the radiation of the particles accelerated to relativistic energies as an efficient damping mechanism, we obtain a quasi-stationary selfconsistent solution to this classical problem. The numerical simulation, which was started from the well-known vacuum solution, yields a global magnetospheric structure that can be characterized by two regions of oppositely charged particles, which eventually produce a relativistic pulsar wind, separated by a vacuum gap of considerable extent.

    Metallic coordination polymers using CS2 as starting material
    (1987) Keller, Heimo J.; Klutz, Thomas; Münstedt, Helmut; Renner, Gerd; Schweitzer, Dieter
    Organic polymers with "metallic" properties have found widespread interest during the last few years. Acetylene and aniline as well as different nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles have been used as starting materials. One main problem hampering the technical application of these solids up to now is their environmental and thermal instability. Therefore, we introduced metal ions to stabilize polymeric backbones with high electrical conductivity. Because of the enormous coordination ability of sulfur to many transition metal ions we decided to use a polymeric carbon-sulfur backbone.

    Phonon absorption-spectroscopy in the presence of strong elastic phonon scattering
    (1986) Mebert, Joachim; Koblinger, Otto; Döttinger, Siegfried; Eisenmenger, Wolfgang
    In this work we show that in the presence of a strong phonon scattering background absorption structures can only be well resolved by reducing sample thickness to the phonon mean free path. This mean free path can be determined by analyzing the pulse shape of 285 GHz phonons. By reducing sample thickness to the appropriate value of 0,3mm the 21,2 cm -1 crystalline field transition in CaF 2:Er 3+ could be evaluated with the very high resolution of 5 GHz. In experiments performed on a 1mm thick LaF 3 Er 3+ sample we observed an absoption line at 14,2 cm -1 not visible in FIR absorption measurements.

    Towards a self-consistent modelling of pulsar magnetospheres
    (1986) Herold, Heinz; Ertl, Thomas; Ruder, Hanns
    The numerical modelling of the general case of an obligue rotator is a very complicated time-dependent three-dimensional problem and in its full extent probably outside the capacity of present-day computers. A considerable simplification occurs if one can assume that the essential effects may be understood by modelling the magnetosphere of an aligned rotator (where the rotation axis is parallel to the magnetic axis of the neutron star). This assumption is only reasonable for small obliguenses, since by this approach all electromagnetic wave effects are not taken into account. An advantage, however, is that unipolar induction, which should be responsible for populsting the magnetosphere with charged particles pulled out from the neutron star surface via field emission, can be studied purity.

    Molecular metals and superconductors: BEDT-TTF radical salts
    (1987) Schweitzer, Dieter; Keller, Heimo J.
    The first discovery of superconductivity in an organic metal - in the radical salts of TMTSF (tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene) - under pressure and ambient pressure has demonstrated that in addition to the usual intrastack contacts between the donor molecules in quasi one dimensional metals intermolecular contacts between molecules in neighbouring stacks are important. These interstack contacts result in a less pronounced one dimensional electronic behaviour leading to a stabilization of the metallic character down to low temperatures.

    Shallow traps correlated with deep impurities in silicon as obtained by phonon induced conductance
    (1986) Burger, Wilfried; Lassmann, Kurt; Holm, Claus; Wagner, Peter
    At low temperatures shallow neutral donors and acceptors in silicon can bind an extra carrier to form the so-called D- and A+ centers. With the method of phonon-induced electrical conductivity (PIC) we find the same threshold energies for the detachment of these carriers associated with the shallow impurities P and B, as have been obtained previously by FIR measurements. This shows that the detachment is by a one-phonon process. We find that there is no central cell correction for the binding to the deeper acceptors Al and Ga, whereas for In+ the binding energy is as large as 5,8 meV. We interprete this dependence on acceptor species as another example of the shallow-deep instability of the binding energy with the variation of the central cell potential.

    Analysis of hydrogen Rydberg spectra in a uniform magnetic field: uncovering the transition from regularity to irregularity in a real quantum system
    (1986) Wunner, Günter; Woelk, Ulrich; Zech, Ingrid; Zeller, Gudrun; Ertl, Thomas; Geyer, Florian; Steitz, Arno; Schweizer, Wolfgang; Ruder, Hanns
    Studies of the behaviour of quantum systems in a range of energy where their classical counterparts undergo transitions from regularity to irregularity, as manifested in phase space by the gradual destruction of invariant tori, to date have largely been confined to model Hamiltonian systems such as harmonic oscillators with cubic, quartic, or higher-degree polynomial corrections, or the stadium problem. We show that phenomena which have turned out characteristic of the onset of "quantum stochasticity" in these model systems can in fact be recovered in the quantal energy spectra of a "real" physical system, viz. spectra of hydrogen Rydberg atoms in strong magnetic fields. This implies that one has a simple prototype system at hand in which to study - not only in theory but also in experiment, quantitatively and in detail, and as a function of a continuously tunable external parameter - phenomena that are expected to be typical of the quantum properties of nonintegrable systems in general.
