The Rise of SN 2014J in the Nearby Galaxy M 82

We report on the discovery of SN 2014J in the nearby galaxy M 82. Given its proximity, it offers the best opportunity to date to study a thermonuclear supernova over a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Optical, near-IR and mid-IR observations on the rising lightcurve, orchestrated by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF), show that SN 2014J is a spectroscopically normal Type Ia supernova, albeit exhibiting high-velocity features in its spectrum and heavily reddened by dust in the host galaxy. Our earliest detections start just hours after the fitted time of explosion. We use high-resolution optical spectroscopy to analyze the dense intervening material and do not detect any evolution in the resolved absorption features during the lightcurve rise. Similarly to other highly reddened Type Ia supernovae, a low value of total-to-selective extinction, R (sub V) less than or approximately equal to 2, provides the best match to our observations. We also study pre-explosion optical and near-IR images from HST with special emphasis on the sources nearest to the SN location.

Kinetic study of reaction C 2 H 5 + HO 2 in a photolysis reactor with time-resolved Faraday rotation spectroscopy

The rate constant and branching ratios of ethyl reaction with hydroperoxyl radical, C 2 H 5 + HO 2 (1), a key radical-radical reaction for intermediate temperature combustion chemistry, were measured in situ for the first time in a photolysis Herriott cell by using mid-IR Faraday rotation spectroscopy (FRS) and UV-IR direct absorption spectroscopy (DAS). The microsecond time-resolved diagnostic technique in this work enabled the direct rate measurements of the target reaction at 40 and 80 mbar and reduced the experimental uncertainty considerably. C 2 H 5 and HO 2 radicals were generated by the photolysis of (COCl) 2 /C 2 H 5 I/CH 3 OH/O 2 /He mixture at 266 nm. By direct measurements of the transient profiles of C 2 H 5 , HO 2 and OH concentrations, the overall rate constant for this reaction at 297 K was determined as k 1 (40 mbar) = (3.8 ± 0.8) × 10 –11 cm 3 molecule –1 s –1 and k 1 (80 mbar) = (4.1 ± 1.0) × 10 –11 cm 3 molecule –1 s –1 . As a result, the direct observation of hydroxyl radical (OH) indicated that OH formation channel was the major channel with a branching ratio of 0.8 ± 0.1.

IUE spectroscopy of U Cephei during the mass flow outburst of 1986 June

The interacting Algol-type binary U Cep underwent another of its irregularly occurring transient high-mass flow events during June 1986. For the first time, high-resolution ultraviolet spectroscopy of U Cep during such an event was possible. High-resolution spectra in the far-ultraviolet and near-ultraviolet were obtained with IUE. These spectra show that the ultraviolet continuum decreased by factors of 1.2 to 3.0 during the greatest activity. In addition, one or more narrow absorption components with radial velocities as high as -500 km/s appeared in association with a number of C, Si, Al, Fe, Zn, and Mg lines. The Mg II doublet developed a flat-bottomed appearance with a residual intensity of about 0.31 and a width of at least 800 km/s. These phenomena are interpreted in terms of high-velocity gas streams, mass loss from the system, and the formation of an optically thick equatorial bulge around the B star.

Experimental Measurement of Particle-to-Particle Heat Transfer in Nanoparticle Solids

Thermal conductivity in nanoparticle solids has been previously reported in the range of 0.1-1 W m -1 K -1 , which is a much smaller variation than the orders of magnitude differences achievable in electrical conductivity of similar systems. Both the low absolute magnitude of thermal conductivity and the relative insensitivity compared to electrical conductivity may be largely attributed to the poor interfacial thermal conductance of the many interfaces of the nanocrystal solid, but a direct experimental study of these interfaces is challenging. Here, in this work, we overcome this challenge via direct spectroscopic observation of heat flow within the components of a nanocrystal solid. These thermal transfers are studied by mixing two distinct types of particles: one that serves as a selectively excited antenna to inject heat and the other as the thermal acceptor to report the time-dependent change in temperature. Using transient spectroscopy, the equilibration between the heat donor and heat acceptor is observed to require similar to ~300 ps at room temperature, speeds up at reduced temperature, and has only weak sensitivity to the relative stoichiometry of the components or the intervening ligands. These results contrast strongly with the 10-20 ps time-scale of through-bond heat transfer at the ligand-particle surface and highlight the substantially lower interfacial thermal conductance of particle-to-particle transport without covalent bonding. It is also found, serendipitously, that the mixed composite films show an unexpected, substantially enhanced nonlinear absorption at the resonant wavelength of the plasmonic particles, which is tentatively attributed to a local field enhancement.

Transient hydroperoxyalkyl intermediates (•QOOH) in isopentane oxidation. I. Conformer- and isomer-resolved infrared spectra

Transient carbon-centered hydroperoxyalkyl intermediates (•QOOH) in isopentane oxidation are characterized by infrared (IR) action spectroscopy under jet-cooled conditions with selective detection of hydroxyl (OH) radical products. Two distinct •QOOH isomers with radical sites at a primary carbon of one of the methyl groups (β-Me) or a secondary carbon (β-Et) of the ethyl group are identified by comparison with theoretically calculated IR absorption features for multiple conformers, including C–O, ethyl, and O–O torsions of the two isomers. Here, a master-equation analysis is developed and utilized to explore the conformational cooling process and the resultant conformer population distributions of the two isomers. Most of the IR features observed, including those in the strong fundamental and first overtone OH stretch regions as well as weaker combination bands involving OH stretch with torsion or OOH bend, are in good accord with computed anharmonic frequencies for the most populated conformers of the •QOOH_Et isomer. Relatively weak IR features most evident in the fundamental and first overtone OH stretch regions are ascribed to multiple conformers of the less stable •QOOH_Me isomer, along with a weak feature that is uniquely attributed to a combination band involving asymmetric CH 2 stretch and HCH bend of •QOOH_Me.

A Possible Phase-Dependent Absorption Feature in the Transient X-Ray Pulsar SAX J2103.5+4545

We present an X-ray spectral and timing analysis of two Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) observations of the transient Be X-ray binary SAX J2103.5+4545 during its 2016 April outburst, which was characterized by the highest flux since NuSTAR's launch. These observations provide detailed hard X-ray spectra of this source during its bright precursor flare and subsequent fainter regular outburst for the first time. In this work, we model the phase-averaged spectra for these observations with a negative and positive power law with an exponential cutoff (NPEX - Negative and Positive power-laws EXponential) model and compare the pulse profiles at different flux states. We found that the broadband pulse profile changes from a three-peaked pulse in the first observation to a two-peaked pulse in the second observation, and that each of the pulse peaks has some energy dependence. We also perform pulse-phase spectroscopy and fit phase-resolved spectra with NPEX to evaluate how spectral parameters change with pulse phase. We find that while the continuum parameters are mostly constant with pulse phase, a weak absorption feature at approximately 12 kiloelectronvolts which might, with further study, be classified as a cyclotron line, does show strong pulse-phase dependence.

Time-Resolved Ultrafast Transient Polarization Spectroscopy to Investigate Nonlinear Processes and Dynamics in Electronically Excited Molecules on the Femtosecond Time Scale

Here, we report a novel experimental technique to investigate ultrafast dynamics in photoexcited molecules by probing the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility. A non-colinear 3-pulse scheme is developed to probe the ultrafast dynamics of excited electronic states using the optical Kerr effect by time-resolved polarization spectroscopy. Optical heterodyne and optical homodyne detection are demonstrated to measure the third-order nonlinear optical response for the S 1 excited state of liquid nitrobenzene, which is populated by 2-photon absorption of a 780 nm 35 fs excitation pulse.

Nucleotide- and metalloid-driven conformational changes in the arsenite efflux ATPase ArsA

Arsenite (As III ) is toxic to all organisms due to its ability to tightly bind exposed thiols within cells. An important As III resistance mechanism in prokaryotes involves proteins encoded by thearsoperon. A central component of thearsoperon in many bacteria is the cytoplasmic ATPase, ArsA, which orchestrates a series of nucleotide-dependent handoffs, starting with the capture of As III by the ArsD metallochaperone and culminating in its removal from the cell by the ArsB efflux pump. Although the mechanism of ArsA has been widely studied, the molecular details of how nucleotide hydrolysis modulates these events remain unclear. ArsA is an archetypal member of the intradimeric Walker A (IWA) family of ATPases, implicated in a diversity of complex biological functions. Conformational changes typical of IWA ATPases have been postulated to drive these molecular events but have not been demonstrated. We report cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of ArsA in MgADP-bound and MgATP-boundopenstates, as well as a distinctclosedMgATP-bound state liganded to As III . X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) confirmed three-coordinate binding of As III to the conserved cysteines at the metalloid-binding site of the closed state. Coupled with biochemical characterization, our cryo-EM structures reveal key conformational changes in the ArsA catalytic cycle consistent with other IWA ATPases and provide the structural basis for allosteric activation of nucleotide hydrolysis by As III . This work establishes how the nucleotide state of ArsA transiently creates a high-affinity binding site that can sequester metalloid within the cell, followed by a nucleotide-driven handoff to ArsB for efflux.

Tracking the first electron transfer step at the donor side of oxygen-evolving photosystem II by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy

In oxygen-evolving photosystem II (PSII), the multi-phasic electron transfer from a redox-active tyrosine residue (TyrZ) to a chlorophyll cation radical (P680 + ) precedes the water-oxidation chemistry of the S-state cycle of the Mn 4 Ca cluster. Here we investigate these early events, observable within about 10 ns to 10 ms after laser-flash excitation, by time-resolved single-frequency infrared (IR) spectroscopy in the spectral range of 1310–1890 cm -1 for oxygen-evolving PSII membrane particles from spinach. Comparing the IR difference spectra at 80 ns, 500 ns, and 10 µs allowed for the identification of quinone, P680 and TyrZ contributions. A broad electronic absorption band assignable P680 + was used to trace largely specifically the P680 + reduction kinetics. The experimental time resolution was taken into account in least-square fits of P680 + transients with a sum of four exponentials, revealing two nanosecond phases (30–46 ns and 690–1110 ns) and two microsecond phases (4.5–8.3 µs and 42 µs), which mostly exhibit a clear S-state dependence, in agreement with results obtained by other methods. Our investigation paves the road for further insight in the early events associated with TyrZ oxidation and their role in the preparing the PSII donor side for the subsequent water oxidation chemistry.

Rationally Engineered Vertically Aligned β ‐Ga 2− x W x O 3 Nanocomposites for Self‐Biased Solar‐Blind Ultraviolet Photodetectors with Ultrafast Response

Abstract With the astonishing advancement of present technology and increasing energy consumption, there is an ever‐increasing demand for energy‐efficient multifunctional sensors or transducers based on low‐cost, eco‐friendly material systems. In this context, self‐assembled vertically aligned β ‐Ga 2− x W x O 3 nanocomposite (GWO‐VAN) architecture‐assisted self‐biased solar‐blind UV photodetection on a silicon platform, which is the heart of traditional electronics is presented. Utilizing precisely controlled growth parameters, the formation of W‐enriched vertical β ‐Ga 2− x W x O 3 nanocolumns embedded into the W‐deficient β ‐Ga 2− x W x O 3 matrix is reached. Detailed structural and morphological analyses evidently confirm the presence of β ‐Ga 2− x W x O 3 nanocomposite with a high structural and chemical quality. Furthermore, absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy explains photo‐absorption dynamics and the recombination through possible donor–acceptor energy states. The proposed GWO‐VAN framework facilitates evenly dispersed nanoregions with asymmetric donor energy state distribution and thus forms build‐in potential at the vertical β ‐Ga 2− x W x O 3 interfaces. As a result, the overall heterostructure evinces photovoltaic nature under the UV irradiation. A responsivity of ≈30 A/W is observed with an ultrafast response time (≈350 µs) under transient triggering conditions. Corresponding detectivity and external quantum efficiency are 7.9 × 10 12 Jones and 1.4 × 10 4 %, respectively. It is believed that, while this is the first report exploiting GWO‐VAN architecture to manifest self‐biased solar‐blind UV photodetection, the implication of the approach is enormous in designing electronics for extreme environment functionality and has immense potential to demonstrate drastic improvement in low‐cost UV photodetector technology.

Structural Insight into a Sixteen Cyanine Dye Construct via Exciton–Exciton Annihilation

Molecular (dye) aggregates play a prominent role in light harvesting and are of interest in quantum information science; however, there are limited reports hat programmably assemble many (>4) dye aggregates featuring strong coupling and exciton delocalization. Using oligonucleotides with four Cy5s covalently linked in series along the phosphate backbone, we bring four, eight, and sixteen Cy5s in close proximity by assembling four-armed junctions. We elucidate their structure via gel electrophoresis and steady-state and transient optical spectroscopy. We find that Cy5 has a strong propensity to form tetramer clusters, where the exciton is delocalized over all four Cy5s, that the exciton is not delocalized beyond tetramer clusters in the eight and sixteen Cy5 constructs, and that the sixteen Cy5 construct may consist of pairs of tetramer clusters that are isolated from one another. Many-dye aggregates such as these may serve useful as antennae for their intense light absorption and spatially directed energy transfer.

Kinetic and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopic Analysis of Catalytic Redox Cycles over Highly Uniform Polymetal Oxo Clusters

Metal–organic framework materials (MOFs) offer an opportunity for investigating catalytic properties of polymetal oxo clusters that are highly well defined and uniform in nature, in contrast to other classes of catalysts that may exhibit a propensity toward active site heterogeneity. We report herein a kinetic and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) analysis of the two-electron oxidation of CO over divalent metal sites in MIL-100(M = Fe, Cr) (MIL = Materials of Institut Lavoisier) materials carrying μ 3 -oxo bridged trimers, and connect observations about the kinetic relevance of redox steps to density functional theory (DFT) predictions published previously. The high degree of uniformity evident from in situ titration measurements leads to a congruence in mechanistic inferences made from steady-state catalytic, transient stoichiometric, isotopic exchange, and isotopic tracer data that all point to a sequential mechanism comprised of separate oxidation and reduction half-cycle steps conjoined by an active oxygen intermediate. In situ XAS data reinforce mechanistic conclusions derived from kinetic analysis, and suggest that the active oxygen intermediate may be more appropriately characterized as an iron-oxyl (Fe 3+ –O – ) rather than an iron-oxo (Fe 4+ =O 2– ) species. The Cr analogue of MIL-100 exhibits contrasting rate features that can be rationalized using an identical sequence of steps as MIL-100(Fe), but with a highly dissimilar set of kinetic parameters that can also be validated using transient stoichiometric experiments. The larger coverages of active oxygen intermediates on MIL-100(Cr) are consistent with predictions from prior DFT studies that suggest more stable and less reactive active oxygen species for metals with lower d-electron counts, and point to metal identity as a lever for precisely controlling the kinetic relevance of oxidation and reduction half-cycles in catalytic redox sequences over polymetal oxo clusters. Importantly, the results presented point to the utility of developing broadly applicable structure–catalytic property relationships over MOF nodes specifically, and highly uniform catalysts more generally.

Energy dissipation efficiency in the CP43 assembly intermediate complex of photosystem II

Photosystem II in oxygenic organisms is a large membrane bound rapidly turning over pigment protein complex. During its biogenesis, multiple assembly intermediates are formed, including the CP43-preassembly complex (pCP43). Here, to understand the energy transfer dynamics in pCP43, we first engineered a His-tagged version of the CP43 in a CP47-less strain of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803. Isolated pCP43 from this engineered strain was subjected to advanced spectroscopic analysis to evaluate its excitation energy dissipation characteristics. These included measurements of steady-state absorption and fluorescence emission spectra for which correlation was tested with Stepanov relation. Comparison of fluorescence excitation and absorptance spectra determined that efficiency of energy transfer from β-carotene to chlorophyll a is 39 %. Time-resolved fluorescence images of pCP43-bound Chl a were recorded on streak camera, and fluorescence decay dynamics were evaluated with global fitting. These demonstrated that the decay kinetics strongly depends on temperature and buffer used to disperse the protein sample and fluorescence decay lifetime was estimated in 3.2–5.7 ns time range, depending on conditions. The pCP43 complex was also investigated with femtosecond and nanosecond time-resolved absorption spectroscopy upon excitation of Chl a and β-carotene to reveal pathways of singlet excitation relaxation/decay, Chl a triplet dynamics and Chl a → β-carotene triplet state sensitization process. The latter demonstrated that Chl a triplet in the pCP43 complex is not efficiently quenched by carotenoids. Finally, detailed kinetic analysis of the rise of the population of β-carotene triplets determined that the time constant of the carotenoid triplet sensitization is 40 ns.

Ultrafast photoinduced charge carrier dynamics of L-cysteine and oleylamine stabilized CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots coupled with gold nanoparticles

We have synthesized L-cysteine and oleylamine stabilized CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) and coupled them with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The PQDs and AuNPs, as well as their hybrid nanostructures (HNS), were characterized using UV–visible (UV–vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The UV–vis spectra show absorption bands of the HNS at 503 and 520 nm, attributed mainly to PQDs and AuNPs, respectively. The PQDs show a strong excitonic PL band peaked at 513 nm from PQDs. The HR-TEM results show the formation of hybrid structures between PQDs and AuNPs, which is also supported by the PL quenching of the PQDs by the coupled AuNPs. Ultrafast dynamics of the exciton and charge carriers in the HNS and pristine PQD were studied using femtosecond transient absorption. Multiexponential fitting of the dynamic data revealed the existence of shallow and deep trap states in pristine PQDs and ultrafast electron transfer from PQDs to AuNPs in the HNS. A kinetic model was proposed to account for the key dynamic processes involved and to extract the time for electron transfer from PQDs to AuNPs in the HNS, found to be ∼2 ps. Dynamic processes in pristine PQDs are largely unchanged by HNS formation with AuNPs.

Direct Observation of Ultrafast Defect-Bound and Free Exciton Dynamics in Defect-Engineered WS 2 Monolayers

Defects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) broadly affect their optical and electronic properties. Directly capturing the ultrafast processes of exciton trapping and defect-bound exciton formation is crucial for understanding and advancing defect-mediated optoelectronics and quantum technologies. However, the weak transient optical absorption of defect-bound excitons has limited their experimental observation to date. Here, we report the direct observation of the ultrafast dynamics of defect-bound excitons in monolayer WS 2 crystals with a high density of monosulfur vacancies (V S ) and W-site defect complexes (S W V S ) resulting from synthesis by alkali metal halide-assisted chemical vapor deposition. The dynamics of excitons bound to these defects, along with their coherent interactions with free excitons, are elucidated using ultrafast optical spectroscopy. Using above band-edge photoexcitation, we find that both free and defect-bound excitons simultaneously form within 300 fs from hot carrier relaxation. The defect-bound excitons exhibit shorter lifetimes than free excitons, leading to a population difference of the corresponding excitonic states and free exciton trapping within a 1–100 ps window. Band-edge photoexcitation of free and defect-bound exciton states reveals ultrafast interconversion within ∼150 fs (comparable to our temporal resolution), indicating possible coherent coupling between these states. We further demonstrate efficient up-conversion of defect-bound excitons to free excitons with photon energies up to ∼300 meV below the free exciton resonance. In conclusion, these findings provide insights into the ultrafast dynamics of defect-bound excitons in TMDCs and their coupling with free excitons, which are relevant to defect-engineered optoelectronic, quantum photonic, and valleytronic applications.

Valence instability across the magnetostructural transition in USb 2

We have performed pressure-dependent x-ray diffraction and resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy experiments on USb 2 to further characterize the antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic transition occurring near 8 GPa. We have found the magnetic transition coincides with a tetragonal to orthorhombic transition resulting in a 17% volume collapse as well as a transient f-occupation enhancement. Compared to UAs 2 and UAsS, USb 2 shows a reduced bulk modulus and transition pressure and an increased volume collapse at the structural transition. Except for an enhancement across the transition region, the f occupancy decreases steadily from 1.96 to 1.75.

Imaging nanoscale carrier, thermal, and structural dynamics with time-resolved and ultrafast electron energy-loss spectroscopy

Time-resolved and ultrafast electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) is an emerging technique for measuring photoexcited carriers, lattice dynamics, and near-fields across femtosecond to microsecond timescales. When performed in either a specialized scanning transmission electron microscope or ultrafast electron microscope (UEM), time-resolved and ultrafast EELS can directly image charge carriers, lattice vibrations, and heat dissipation following photoexcitation or applied bias. Yet, recent advances in theoretical calculations and electron optics are often required to realize the full potential of ultrafast EEL spectrum imaging. Here, in this review, we present a comprehensive overview of the recent progress in the theory and instrumentation of time-resolved and ultrafast EELS. We begin with an introduction to the technique, followed by a physical description of the loss function. We outline approaches for calculating and interpreting ground-state and transient EEL spectra spanning low-loss plasmons to core-level excitations analogous to x-ray absorption. We then survey the current state of time-resolved and ultrafast EELS techniques beyond photon-induced near-field electron microscopy, highlighting abilities to image carrier and thermal dynamics. Finally, we examine future directions enabled by emerging technologies, including electron beam monochromation, in situ and operando cells, laser-free UEM, and high-speed direct electron detectors. These advances position time-resolved and ultrafast EELS as a critical tool for uncovering nanoscale dynamic processes in quantum materials and solar energy conversion devices.

Trace Key Mechanistic Features of the Arsenite Sequestration Reaction with Nanoscale Zerovalent Iron

Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) is considered as a highly efficient material for sequestrating arsenite, but the origin of its high efficacy as well as the chemical transformations of arsenite during reaction is not well understood. Here, in this study, we report an in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) study to investigate the complex mechanism of nZVI reaction with arsenite under anaerobic conditions at the time scale from seconds to days. The time-resolved XAS analysis revealed a gradual oxidation of As III to As V in the course of minutes to hours in both the solid and liquid phase for the high (above 0.5 g/L) nZVI dose system. When the reaction time increased up to 60 days, As V became the dominant species. The quick-scanning extended X-ray absorption fine structure (QEAXFS) was introduced to discover the transient intermediate at the highly reactive stage, and a small red-shift in As K-edge absorption edge was observed. The QEAXFS combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculation suggested that the red-shift is likely due to the electron donation in a Fe-O-As complex and possible active sites of As sequestrations include Fe(OH) 4 and 4-Fe cluster. This is the first time that the transient reaction intermediate was identified in the As-nZVI sequestration system at the fast-reacting early stage. This study also demonstrated usefulness of in situ monitoring techniques in environmental water research.
