Semiconducting Region of Ytterbium

extremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude

a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...

Iterations of ytterbium.

Although ytterbium was named by the Swiss chemist Jean de Marignac in 1878, his ‘element’ was subsequently split into two in 1905: ytterbium and lutetium. The atomic weight of the ‘new’ ytterbium was later published in 1907 — so when was ytterbium actually discovered? The story begins on 13 June 1726, more than 150 years before it first received its name. On that date an agreement was signed al...

Relaxation of ytterbium in palladium

Degenerate Fermi gases of ytterbium.

Evaporative cooling was performed to cool fermionic 173Yb atoms in a crossed optical dipole trap. The large elastic collision rate leads to efficient evaporation and we have successfully cooled the atoms to 0.37+/-0.06 of the Fermi temperature, that is to say, to a quantum degenerate regime. In this regime, a plunge of evaporation efficiency was observed as a result of Fermi degeneracy.

Ammonium ytterbium(III) diphosphate(V)

The title compound, NH(4)YbP(2)O(7), crystallizes in the KAlP(2)O(7) structure type and consists of distorted YbO(6) octa-hedra and bent P(2)O(7) (4-) diphosphate units forming together a three-dimensional network. There are channels in the structure running along the c axis, where the NH(4) (+) cations are located. They are connected via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to the terminal O atoms of the diph...
