The physics of Feshbach resonance is analyzed using an analytic expression for the s-wave scattering phase shift and the scattering length a which we derive within a two-channel tight-binding model. Employing a unified treatment of bound states and resonances in terms of the Jost function, it is shown that, for strong interchannel coupling, Feshbach resonance can occur even when the closed channel does not have a bound state. This may extend the range of ultracold atomic systems that can be manipulated by Feshbach resonance. The dependence of the sign of a on the coupling strength in the unitary limit is elucidated. As a by-product, analytic expressions are derived for the background scattering length, the external magnetic field at which resonance occurs, and the energy shift ε-ε(B), where ε is the scattering energy and ε(B) is the bound-state energy in the closed channel (when there is one).

The cyano-cyclopentadiene molecule (CN-CH) has attracted significant interest since its detection in the interstellar medium, but the radical (CN-CH) and anionic (CN-CH) forms of cyano-cyclopentadiene have not been studied. The cyano-cyclopentadienyl radical (CN-Cp) has a strong dipole moment, rendering it an ideal system for vibrational and rotational spectroscopy. We report an investigation of the cryogenically cooled cyano-cyclopentadienide anion (CN-Cp) using high-resolution photoelectron imaging, photodetachment spectroscopy, and resonant photoelectron imaging.

Resonant Auger Decay in Benzene.

We present ab initio calculations of the resonant Auger spectrum of benzene. In the resonant process, Auger decay ensues following the excitation of a core-level electron to a virtual orbital. Hence, resonant Auger decay gives rise to higher-energy Auger electrons compared to nonresonant decay.

Feshbach hypothesis of high-Tc superconductivity in cuprates.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores strong pairing mechanisms in many-body physics, particularly through a Feshbach perspective, focusing on interactions in Fermi-Hubbard models related to doped Mott insulators.
  • It theorizes the presence of a low-energy excited state of two holes that facilitates near-resonant interactions, which aligns with observed behaviors in cuprate materials.
  • The authors propose experimental methods like cARPES and pair-tunneling measurements to test their theories, suggesting a link between emergent Feshbach resonances and superconductivity in antiferromagnetic Mott insulators.

Spectroscopy and Dynamics of the Dipole-Bound States of -, -, and -Methylphenolate Anions.

J Phys Chem A

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, KAIST, Daejeon 34141, Republic of Korea.

A photodetachment and photoelectron spectroscopic study by employing a cryogenically cooled ion trap combined with a velocity-map imaging setup has been carried out to unravel the vibrational structures and autodetachment dynamics of the dipole-bound states (DBSs) of -, -, and -methylphenolate anions (-, -, and -CHPhO). The electron binding energy of the DBS increases monotonically with the increase of the neutral dipole moment to give respective values of 66 ± 15, 123 ± 18, or 154 ± 14 cm for the -, -, or -isomer. The different electron-donating effects of the methyl moieties in the three geometrically different isomers seem to be reflected in the experiment.

A century ago it was discovered that metabolic processes in living cells emit a spectrum of very low intensity radiation. This was based on observations that radiant energy from proliferating cells can amplify the rate of cell division in other nearby cellular life. Although metabolic radiation is now thoroughly documented in research on ultraweak photon emissions (UPE), the original finding that UPE can enhance mitogenesis remains controversial.
