    Organic metals from chiral BEDT-TTF donors
    (1991) Chen, Ben-ming; Deilacher, Frank; Hoch, Matthias; Keller, Heimo J.; Wu, Pei-ji; Gärtner, Stephan; Kahlich, Siegfried; Schweitzer, Dieter
    We have shown that is is possible to obtain organic metals from chiral molecules. The X-ray results prove an oxidation number of + 1.5 for the radical cations in at least two cases. To our best knowledge. these are: the first examples of BEDT-TTF-related radical cation salts with this oxidation number. As expected, we obtained statistically disordered crystals, containing the two different enantiomers in a "racemic" mixture. The broad smeared-out phase transitions are probably due to this disorder, or may be caused by the three-dimensional interactions which have been observed, so far, only once in a BEDT-TTF radical salt. We will crystallize the metallic compounds using "optically pure" isomers, in the hope to be able to isolate chiral metals.

    Simulation mit Supercomputern : ein neues Werkzeug der Physik
    (1990) Ruder, Hanns; Ertl, Thomas; Geyer, Florian; Herold, Heinz; Kraus, Ute; Nollert, Hans-Peter; Rebetzky, Andreas; Schweizer, Wolfgang; Zahn, Corvin
    Unser Wissen über die Struktur des Kosmos und die darin enthaltenen Objekte stammt aus der sorgfältigen Analyse der auf der Erde einfallenden elektromagnetischen Strahlung,verbunden mit einer theoretischen Modellierung im Rahmen der von uns erforschten Naturgesetze. Die sprunghafte Zunahme unserer Kenntnisse in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten verdanken wir vor allem den vielen Forschungssatelliten, die die Beobachtung kosmischer Objekte ohne die störenden Einflüsse unserer Atmosphäre erlauben. Speziell im weichen Röntgenbereich ist dadurch eine Beobachtung überhaupt erst möglich , und es ist gerade dieser Spektralbereich, der uns wesentlich neue Erkenntnisse über hochinteressante Objekte geliefert hat, da intensive Röntgenstrahlung nur unter sehr extremen physikalischen Bedingungen entsteht. Die in diesen Röntgenemissionsgebieten vorherrschenden Temperaturen, Magnet- und Gravitationsfelder sind so extrem, daß sie in irdischen Labors nicht realisiert werden können. Folglich bleibt nur die Möglichkeit, die Eigenschaften der Materie und die unter diesen Bedingungen ablaufenden physikalischen Prozesse theoretisch zu berechnen, um so - im Vergleich mit den Beobachtungen - zu zuverlässigen Aussagen über die Struktur dieser kosmischen Objekte zu gelangen.

    Proton relaxation in the superconducting organic solid (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2: evidence for relaxation by localized paramagnetic centers
    (1990) Klutz, Thomas; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, Dieter
    The nonexponential character of the build-up of the nuclear magnetization usually increases on lowering the temperature. Superconducting fluctuations have been offered in a speculative way as an explanation for the nonexponential spin relaxation. We have observed the same relaxation behaviour in our investigation of the proton spin relaxation in (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 which is an organic conductor at room temperature and becomes a superconductor at Tc=10.4 K at ambient pressure. As we noticed during preliminary measurements that the degree of deviation from exponential relaxation depends on the sample under study we decided to do experiments under controlled conditions of sample preparation.

    Kinematics and dynamics for computer animation
    (1994) Ruder, Hanns; Ertl, Thomas; Gruber, Karin; Günther, Michael; Hospach, Frank; Ruder, Margret; Subke, Jörg; Widmayer, Karin
    This tutorial will focus on the physical principles of kinematics and dynamics. After explaining the basic equations for point masses and rigid bodies a new approach for the dynamic simulation of multi-linked models with wobbling mass is presented, which has led to new insight in the field of biomechanics, but which has not been used in computer animation so far.

    Atomic beam splitters based on light
    (1993) Adams, Charles S.; Pfau, Tilman; Mlynek, Jürgen
    In this paper we review techniques to coherently split an atomic beam using the dipole force. We discuss the interaction of atoms with normal standing wave light field in the context of atomic beam splitters. The case where the atom enters the standing wave at a small angle such that Bragg diffraction and velocity selective resonances are observed is also considered. An alternative approach to realize a coherent beam splitter based on the optical Stem-Gerlach effect is discussed. Finally we consider the interaction of atoms with a magneto-optical potential formed by a polarization gradient light field and a static magnetic field. We show that the Stem-Gerlach effect and the magneto-optical potential produce a more effective beam splitting into states with high tranverse momentum than diffraction from a normal standing wave.

    Optical elements for atoms : a beamsplitter and a mirror
    (1993) Sigel, Martin; Pfau, Tilman; Adams, Charles S.; Kurtsiefer, Christian; Seifert, Werner; Heine, Claus; Mlynek, Jürgen; Kaiser, Robin; Aspect, Alain
    In the first part of this article we attempt to provide a very brief introduction to atom optics. In the second and third part we report on recent experiments in our group on two specific atom-optical elements that may be useful in atom interferometers and atom cavities: the demonstration of a new beam splitter based on the diffraction of atomic matter waves from a "magneto-optical grating" and the investigation of a mirror based on the reflection of atoms from an evanescent light field.

    The morphology of ice structure in a parallel plate channel
    (1991) Weigand, Bernhard; Beer, Hans
    An experimental study has been performed to investigate the ice formation phenomena of water flow between two horizontal cooled parallel plates. A detailed and comprehensive investigation of the morphology of the ice-structure is given. It is shown that the different shapes of ice-layers can be classified with the help of a Θc - ReD diagramm. The regions for which a certain type of ice-layer occures are clearly separated.

    Bulk superconductivity at ambient pressure in polycrystalline pressed samples of organic metals
    (1990) Schweitzer, Dieter; Kahlich, Siegfried; Gärtner, Stephan; Gogu, Emil; Grimm, Hans; Zamboni, Roberto; Keller, Heimo J.
    Bulk superconductivity in polycrystalline pressed samples of αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 and βp-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 is reported. This finding shows that organic superconductors can be used in principle for the preparation of electronic devices and superconducting cables.

    Self-consistent numerical modelling of pulsar magnetospheres
    (1992) 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 self-consistent 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.
