The energies of some neutron groups leading to low excited states of "C in the reaction lOB(d,ny)"C have been measured. These lead to values of 4�3�0�3 MeV and 6�53 � O' 02 MeV for the energies of the second and fourth excited states respectively. y-Ray spectra have also been studied in coincidence with different neutron groups. Ground state transitions were observed from the second, third, and fourth excited states, together with cascade decays of the fourth excited state through each of the second and third. Deductions from these y-ray spectra considerably reduce the number of spin possibilities which have been found for these levels by other workers.

<p></p><p> Damage to RNA from ultraviolet radiation induce chemical modifications to the nucleobases. Unraveling the excited states involved in these reactions is essential, but investigations aimed at understanding the electronic-energy relaxation pathways of the RNA nucleotide uridine 5’-monophosphate (UMP) have not received enough attention. In this Letter, the excited-state dynamics of UMP is investigated in aqueous solution. Excitation at 267 nm results in a trifurcation event that leads to the simultaneous population of the vibrationally-excited ground state, a longlived <sup>1</sup>n<sub>O</sub>π* state, and a receiver triplet state within 200 fs. The receiver state internally convert to the long-lived <sup>3</sup>ππ* state in an ultrafast time scale. The results elucidate the electronic relaxation pathways and clarify earlier transient absorption experiments performed for uracil derivatives in solution. This mechanistic information is important because long-lived nπ* and ππ* excited states of both singlet and triplet multiplicities are thought to lead to the formation of harmful photoproducts.</p><p></p>

Experimental Values

A description of the experimental results obtained for Mg25 and Al25 is given based upon the assumption that the excited nuclear states are rotational states. In Mg25 and Al25 members of four rotational bands can be identified. The band based on the ground state can be assigned K = 5/2 whilst the three excited-state bands, two positive parity and one negative parity, can be assigned K = 1/2. The dipole γ-ray transitions between the K = 1/2 bands and the ground state K = 5/2 band are forbidden on the rotational model and it is a salient feature of the γ-ray cascading in Mg25 and Al25 that the ground-state transitions are always amongst the weakest transitions from excited states assigned to K = 1/2 bands. Besides giving a quantitative account of the γ-ray decay of the excited states the rotational model also predicts the number and type of the bands observed. The experimental values of the Mg24(d, p)Mg25 deuteron stripping reduced widths can also be approximately predicted by the model.

The millimeter-wave rotational spectra of the ground and excited vibrational states v(A), v1(E) =1 and v2(E ) =1 of the oblate symmetric top molecule, (CH2O)3, have been analyzed again. The B0= 5273.25747MHz, DJ= 1.334547 kHz, DJk= -2.0206 kHz, HJ(-1.01 mHz), HJK(-3.80 mHz), and HKJ(4.1 mHz) have been determined for ground state. For non degenerate excited state, vA(1), the B = 5260.227723 MHz and DJand DJKwere determined 1.27171 kHz and -1.8789 kHz respectively. The 1=±1 series have been assigned in two different excited states v1(E) =1 and v2(E) =1.Most of the parameters were determined with higher accuracy compare with before. For the v2(E) =1 state the Cζ=-1940.54(11) MHz and qJ= 0.0753 (97) kHz were determined for the first time.

AbstractOH masers are sensitive probes of the kinematics, physical conditions, and magnetic fields in star-forming regions. The maser site OH 330.953-0.182 has been studied using the Long Baseline Array of the Australia Telescope National Facility. Simultaneous observations of the 1665- and 1667-MHz hydroxyl ground-state transitions yield a series of maps at velocity spacing 0.09kms−1, in both right- and left-hand circular polarization, with tenth-arcsec spatial resolution. Several clusters of maser spots have been detected within a five-arcsec region. Eight Zeeman pairs were found, and in one case, at 1665 MHz, there is a nearby 1667-MHz pair indicating a similar value of magnetic field and velocity. Over the whole site, all magnetic field estimates are toward us (negative), and range from -3.7 to -5.8 mG. We also compared the morphology and kinematics of the 1665- and 1667-MHz maser spots with those from the excited state of OH at 6035 MHz and from methanol at 6668 MHz.

Ionization Limit

State-specific ionization efficiencies for excited Li and Na atoms in acetylene/air flames have been determined. The ionization efficiencies, i.e., the probability that the excited atoms ionize instead of returning to the ground state, are determined by relating collision-assisted Laser-Enhanced Ionization (LEI) signals from various excited states with laser-induced photoionization signals. The ionization efficiencies are found to decrease (from being one at the ionization limit) almost monotonically as the lower atoms are excited. The most striking feature, however, is that the decrease of the ionization efficiency values is generally found to be less than the decrease of the Boltzmann factor, exp(- δE/kT), when the energy difference, δE, between the excited state and the ionization limit is increased. The ionization efficiencies are found to be close to unity for states with δE < kT and approximately 50% for states with δE ≈ 2.5 kT ( np ≈ 6 p). For the lower states, the ionization efficiencies are found to be approximately five times larger than the Boltzmann factor.

The electronic absorption spectra of five polycyclic polyenes were recorded in non-polar solvents in order to determine their polarizability in excited states from the strength of the dispersive interactions in their diluted solutions. The bathochromic shifts of p-p* vibronic bands prove the increase of the molecular polarizabilty in the photon absorption process. Some molecular parameters of the analyzed polyenes in their ground state were computed by using the programs from Spartan�14.

Ground State Stability

The effect of the lateral electric field (LEF) on the excited and ground state stability of an exciton ([Formula: see text]) confined in a parabolic cylindrical quantum dot (QD) was estimated in this study. The calculation was performed in the framework of single-band effective mass theory using a variational approach. Our results revealed that the ground state binding energy of [Formula: see text] decreases with increasing the cylindrical QD radius until the exciton stability is lost at moderate LEF strength. By increasing the LEF strength, the excited heavy-hole ([Formula: see text]) can create an excited state [Formula: see text] or excited state [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], and the results indicate that the first state is more stable. In contrast, when an excited electron ([Formula: see text]) combines with an excited hole ([Formula: see text]) or unexcited hole ([Formula: see text]), it contains no split excited states for [Formula: see text] with less binding energy than the state [Formula: see text]. Comparing our previous results of donor impurity [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], we found that [Formula: see text] has a more stable ground state than [Formula: see text]. Moreover, the excited [Formula: see text] states are more stable than the excited states of [Formula: see text]. The quantum Stark shift (QSS) of the light- and heavy-hole exciton energy was explored, and a blue-shifted and quadratic QSS was observed. In contrast, for single particles (electron, heavy-hole and light hole), a red-shifted and linear QSS was observed.
