Cavity hydration as a gateway to unfolding: an NMR study of hen lysozyme at high pressure and low temperature. by Kamatari, Y, Smith, L, Dobson, C, Akasaka, K

“…We have used low temperatures (down to -20°C) and high pressures (up to 2000 bar) to populate low-lying excited state conformers of hen lysozyme, and have analyzed their structures site-specifically using (15)N/(1)H two-dimensional HSQC NMR spectroscopy. …”

An estimate of the inter-system crossing time in light-emitting polymers by Barford, W, Moore, E

“…In this paper we use the experimentally determined phosphorescent lifetime and energy of the lowest-lying triplet state, as well as calculated values of Huang-Rhys factors to estimate the spin-orbit matrix element and inter-system crossing time between the lowest-lying singlet and triplet states.…”

Catalytic hydrogenolysis of alkyl halides by sulfido-bridged molybdenum clusters: A density functional study by McGrady, J, Gracia, J

“…The addition occurs across a single Mo-S bond, and the disruption of the strong Mo-S π bonding in the ground state leads to a very high-lying transition state (+43 kcal mol-1). Once formed, the adsorbed hydrogen migrates over the cluster via a series of hops from metal to sulphur, formally corresponding to a switch from hydridic to protic character. …”

A terahertz-driven non-equilibrium phase transition in a room temperature atomic vapour by Wade, C, Marcuzzi, M, Levi, E, Kondo, J, Lesanovsky, I, Adams, C, Weatherill, K

“…The system consists of room temperature caesium vapour under continuous optical excitation to a high-lying Rydberg state, which is resonantly coupled to a nearby level by the terahertz electric field. …”

Collimated UV light generation by two-photon excitation to a Rydberg state in Rb vapor by Lam, M, Pal, SB, Vogt, T, Gross, C, Kiffner, M, Li, W

“…We use two continuous-wave laser beams of 780 nm and 515 nm to optically drive Rb85 atoms in a heated vapor cell to a low-lying Rydberg state 10D5/2. We observe a collimated ultraviolet (UV) beam at 311 nm, corresponding to the transition frequency from the 11P3/2 state to the 5S1/2 state. …”

Preparing transition-metal clusters in known structural forms: the mass-analyzed threshold ionization spectrum of V3. by Ford, MS, Mackenzie, S

“…There is also some evidence in the spectrum of transitions to the low-lying excited state of the ion. The vibrational structure observed in the MATI spectrum is, however, significantly different to and less extensive than that predicted in the density-functional theory study. …”

Time-resolved site-selective imaging of predissociation and charge transfer dynamics: the CH3I B-band by Forbes, R, Allum, F, Bari, S, Boll, R, Borne, K, Brouard, M, Bucksbaum, PH, Ekanayake, N, Erk, B, Howard, AJ, Johnsson, P, Lee, JWL, Manschwetus, B, Mason, R, Passow, C, Peschel, J, Rivas, DE, Rörig, A, Rouzée, A, Vallance, C, Ziaee, F, Rolles, D, Burt, M

“…In accord with previous studies, initial excitation at 201.2 nm results in internal conversion and subsequent dissociation on the lower-lying A-state surface on a picosecond time scale. Examination of the time-dependent yield of low kinetic energy iodine fragments yields mechanistic insights into the predissociation and subsequent charge transfer following multiple ionization of the iodine products. …”

Theoretical investigation of the role of strongly coupled chlorophyll dimers in photoprotection of LHCII. by Duffy, C, Ruban, A, Barford, W

“…The chlorophyll dimer Chl a604-Chl b606 possesses a quasi-parallel geometry, resulting in a weakly dipole-allowed low-lying excited state. This weakly allowed state is accessible via exciton transfer to a higher, strongly allowed state followed by fast vibrational relaxation. …”

Ultra-violet photodissociation dynamics of biomolecular building blocks by Popat, D, Popat, D

“…All systems exhibited some involvement of an energetically low-lying mixed state which evolves to possess πσ*/nσ* character at long bond distances, providing a route either for population transfer back to the ground state, or to dissociation. …”

Forging Rousseau by Birn, R

“…The flexible moral messages of autobiography yelded place to a static political one – that of Rousseau as author of <em>Du contrat social</em>, the <em>père de la patrie</em>, en embalmed corpse lying in state in the Panthéon.<br/> <em>Forging Rousseau</em> is a unique type of cultural analysis, contextualising the commercial publishing history of Rousseau’s works in the milieux of the late Enlightenment and Revolutionary period. …”

Some aspects of the interaction of light with matter by Brink, D

“…In ²¹⁰Bi it is possible to classify the known low lying levels in terms of two particle neutron-proton configurations and in particular to predict a low lying isomeric state with I - 8. ²⁰⁸Te is of interest as it gives an example of a particle hole configuration. …”

RESONANT PROCESSES IN PHOTOIONIZATION OF NO by Sukumar, C, Bottcher, C
