Prospects of a Pb^{2+} Ion Clock.

ABSTRACT: We propose a high-performance atomic clock based on the 1.81 PHz transition between the ground and first-excited state of doubly ionized lead. Utilizing an even isotope of lead, both clock states have I=J=F=0, where I, J, and F are the conventional quantum numbers specifying nuclear, electronic, and total angular momentum, respectively. The clock states are nondegenerate and completely immune to nonscalar perturbations, including first order Zeeman and electric quadrupole shifts. Additionally, the proposed clock is relatively insusceptible to other frequency shifts (blackbody radiation, second order Zeeman, Doppler), accommodates "magic" rf trapping, and is robust against decoherence mechanisms that can otherwise limit clock stability. By driving the transition as a two-photon E1+M1 process, the accompanying probe Stark shift is appreciable yet manageable for practical Rabi frequencies.

Prospects of a thousand-ion Sn2+ Coulomb-crystal clock with sub-10-19 inaccuracy.

Project description:Optical atomic clocks are the most accurate and precise measurement devices of any kind, enabling advances in international timekeeping, Earth science, fundamental physics, and more. However, there is a fundamental tradeoff between accuracy and precision, where higher precision is achieved by using more atoms, but this comes at the cost of larger interactions between the atoms that limit the accuracy. Here, we propose a many-ion optical atomic clock based on three-dimensional Coulomb crystals of order one thousand Sn2+ ions confined in a linear RF Paul trap with the potential to overcome this limitation. Sn2+ has a unique combination of features that is not available in previously considered ions: a 1S0 ↔ 3P0 clock transition between two states with zero electronic and nuclear angular momentum (I = J = F = 0) making it immune to nonscalar perturbations, a negative differential polarizability making it possible to operate the trap in a manner such that the two dominant shifts for three-dimensional ion crystals cancel each other, and a laser-accessible transition suitable for direct laser cooling and state readout. We present calculations of the differential polarizability, other relevant atomic properties, and the motion of ions in large Coulomb crystals, in order to estimate the achievable accuracy and precision of Sn2+ Coulomb-crystal clocks.

Prediction of heavy metal ion distribution and Pb and Zn ion concentrations in the tailing pond area.

Project description:The pollution caused by tailings ponds has resulted in ecological damage, with soil contamination significantly impacting the daily lives of residents in the vicinity of mining areas and the future development of mining areas. This study assesses the transport status of heavy metal pollution in tailings areas and predicts its impact on future pollution levels. This study focused on lead-zinc tailing ponds, exploring the spatial and chemical distribution characteristics of heavy metals based on the distributions of Pb, Zn, As, Cu, Cr, Cd, Hg, and Ge ions. The concentrations of the major heavy metal ions Pb and Zn in tailings ponds were predicted via the exponential smoothing method. ① The total accumulation of Pb and Zn in the mine tailings ranges from 936.74~1212.61 mg/kg and 1611.85~2191.47 mg/kg, much greater than the total accumulation of the remaining six heavy metals. The total accumulation of associated heavy metal Cu was high, and the lowest total heavy metals were Hg and Ge at only 0.19 mg/kg and 1.05 mg/kg. ② The analyses of soil heavy metal chemical forms reveal that the heavy metals Pb and Zn had the highest exchangeable state content and state ratio and the strongest transport activity in the industrial plaza and village soils. Pb and Zn are the heavy metals with the greatest eco-environmental impacts in the mining area. ③ The predicted results show that the soil concentrations of the heavy metals Pb and Zn around the tailings area in 2026 are 1.335 and 1.191 times the predicted time starting values. The concentrations of the heavy metals Pb and Zn at the starting point of the forecast are already 3.34 and 3.02 times the upper limits of the environmental standard (according to environmental standards for gravelly grey calcium soils). These results have significant implications for heavy metal pollution risk management.

Blackbody radiation shift assessment for a lutetium ion clock.

Project description:The accuracy of state-of-the-art atomic clocks is derived from the insensitivity of narrow optical atomic resonances to environmental perturbations. Two such resonances in singly ionized lutetium have been identified with potentially lower sensitivities compared to other clock candidates. Here we report measurement of the most significant unknown atomic property of both transitions, the static differential scalar polarizability. From this, the fractional blackbody radiation shift for one of the transitions is found to be -1.36(9) × 10-18 at 300 K, the lowest of any established optical atomic clock. In consideration of leading systematic effects common to all ion clocks, both transitions compare favorably to the most accurate ion-based clocks reported to date. This work firmly establishes Lu+ as a promising candidate for a future generation of more accurate optical atomic clocks.

Adsorption isotherms and kinetics for Pb(ii) ion removal from aqueous solutions with biogenic metal oxide nanoparticles.

Project description:This study investigates the sorption removal of lead(ii) ions using zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper(ii) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles synthesized through a wet burning method with the aid of plant extract from Serratula coronata L. The effect of plant collection time on polyphenol content was investigated and optimal conditions were determined. The structural and chemical properties of the nanoparticles were studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, X-ray phase analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A comparative analysis of lead ion sorption on the surface of synthesized nanoparticles was conducted. The kinetic study revealed that the sorption process follows a pseudo-second-order mechanism, and the Freundlich sorption model provides a better fit for the experimental data. ZnO and CuO nanoparticles exhibited significant sorption capacities, with values of 163.6 and 153.8 mg g-1, respectively.

Nitrogen-Doped Nanoporous Carbon Nanospheroids for Selective Dye Adsorption and Pb(II) Ion Removal from Waste Water.

Project description:In the presence of melamine and block copolymers, namely, F108, F127, and P123, nitrogen-doped nanoporous carbon nanospheroids (N@CNSs) were synthesized by the hydrothermal process. The F127-modified sample (CNF127) exhibits the maximum Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 773.4 m2/g with a pore volume of 0.877 cm3/g. The microstructural study reveals that nanospheroids of size 50-200 nm were aggregated together to form a chainlike structure for all triblock copolymer-modified samples. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study shows the binding energies of 398.33 and 400.7 eV attributed to sp2 (C-N=C)- and sp3 (C-N)-hybridized nitrogen-bonded carbons, respectively. The synthesized N@CNS samples showed selective adsorption of organic dye methylene blue (MB) in the presence of methyl orange (MO) as well as Pb(II) ion removal from contaminated water. The adsorptions for MB and Pb(II) ions followed pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, respectively. The sample CNF127 showed the highest adsorption of 73 and 99.82 mg/g for MB and Pb(II) adsorptions, respectively. The adsorption capacity for MB of the copolymer-modified samples follows the order CNF127 > CNP123 > CNF108, which corroborated with the mesoporosity as well as nitrogen content of the corresponding samples. The maximum % adsorption of Pb(II) follows the order CNF127 (99.82%) > CNF108 (98.74%) > CNP123 (91.82%), and this trend is attributed to the BET surface area of the corresponding samples. This study demonstrates multicomponent removal of water pollutants, both organic dyes and inorganic toxic metal ions.

Advancing Fluoride-Ion Batteries with a Pb-PbF2 Counter Electrode and a Diluted Liquid Electrolyte.

Project description:Fluoride ion batteries (FIB) are a promising post lithium-ion technology thanks to their high theoretical energy densities and Earth-abundant materials. However, the flooded cells commonly used to test liquid electrolyte FIBs severely affect the overall performance and impede comparability across different studies, hindering FIB progress. Here, we report a reliable Pb-PbF2 counter electrode that enables the use of two-electrode coin cells. To test this setup, we first introduce a liquid electrolyte that combines the advantages of a highly concentrated electrolyte (tetramethylammonium fluoride in methanol) while addressing its transport and high-cost shortcomings by introducing a diluent (propionitrile). We then demonstrate the viability of this system by reporting a BiF3-Pb-PbF2 cell with the highest capacity retention to date.

Pb2+ Ion Sensors Employing Gold Etching Process: Comparative Investigation on Au Nanorods and Au Nanotriangles.

Project description:The leaching phenomenon of gold (Au) nanomaterials by Pb2+ ions in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) and thiosulfate (S2O32- ion) has been systematically applied to a Pb2+ ion sensor. To further investigate the role of Pb2+ ions in sensors containing Au nanomaterials, we revisited the leaching conditions for Au nanorods and compared them with the results for Au nanotriangles. By monitoring the etching rate, it was revealed that Pb2+ ions were important for the acceleration of the etching rate mainly driven by 2-ME and S2O32- pairs, and nanomolar detection of Pb2+ ions were shown to be promoted through this catalytic effect. Using the etchant, the overall size of the Au nanorods decreased but showed an unusual red-shift in UV-Vis spectrum indicating increase of aspect ratio. Indeed, the length of Au nanorods decreased by 9.4% with the width decreasing by 17.4% over a 30-min reaction time. On the other hand, the Au nanotriangles with both flat sides surrounded mostly by dense Au{111} planes showed ordinary blue-shift in UV-Vis spectrum as the length of one side was reduced by 21.3%. By observing the changes in the two types of Au nanomaterials, we inferred that there was facet-dependent alloy formation with lead, and this difference resulted in Au nanotriangles showing good sensitivity, but lower detection limits compared to the Au nanorods.
