Fifteen methyl-, nitro-, or mixed substituted N-(phenyl)-2-chloroacetamides were investigated by C1 NQR. The temperature dependence of the frequencies of the 3-methylphenyl and 2,6-dimethylphenyl derivatives were studied for the range 77 K<T<300 K. Only one co C-Cl frequency was observed for the compound with the two exceptions. For N-(2-nitro,4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloroacetamide the observed valu...

This paper discusses recent NQR/NMR studies performed on Y-Ba-Cu-0 superconductors at the University of Zürich. The work is concerned with normal state properties which are still controversial, for instance the spin-gap effect, i.e. the opening of a pseudo gap in the electron spin excitation spectrum at a temperature 7*, which lies above Tc. We will report on the detection of "anomalies" which ...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to compute nitrogen-14 and boron-11 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy parameters in the representative model of armchair boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) for the first time. The considered model consisting of 1 nm length of H-capped (5, 5) single-wall BNNT were first allowed to fully relax and then the NQR calculations were ...

The NMR/NQR group has continued its general research plan of studying current problems of condensed matter physics by employing NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) and NQR (nuclear quadrupole resonance) methods. These spectroscopies allow one to investigate electronic properties in solids at a microscopic level and thus provide an essential contribution for a better understanding of the materials ...
