Twenty single particles separated from a 20-liter sample of rain collected in Osaka, Japan, shortly after the 14 May 1965 test explosion of the Chinese nuclear device, were analyzed radiochemically. The abundance pattern of the fission products in these particles resembled the shape of the mass-yield curve for the thermal neutron-induced fission of uranium-235, except for the facts that cesium-...

the highly substituted pyridine derivatives are found to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. they are also emerged as potential medicinal leads in developing therapeutic agents for the treatment of various diseases. in this work, a series of 2-amino-3,5-dicarbonitrile-6-thio-pyridine derivatives have been synthesized at room temperature via one-pot, multi-component reaction of various a...

"The Belrad Institute" 2001.-64 pp. ISBN 985-434-080-5 2 This book is one of a series of the author's publications on the effects of radioactive elements on the human body. The author analyzes the results of his clinical-laboratory studies on the impact of radioactive cesium [primarily 137 Cs] upon cardiac function. T...

This work investigates the synthesis of Cesium (Cs) based all-inorganic (CsPbBr 3 ) perovskite single crystals (PSCs) at low temperatures (45 °C) for application in photosensitive devices.

We probe the excitation spectrum of an ultracold one-dimensional Bose gas of cesium atoms with a repulsive contact interaction that we tune from the weakly to the strongly interacting regime via a magnetic Feshbach resonance. The dynamical structure factor, experimentally obtained using Bragg spectroscopy, is compared to integrability-based calculations valid at arbitrary interactions and finit...

Permanent electric dipole moments are important for understanding symmetry breaking in molecular physics, control of chemical reactions, and realization of strongly correlated many-body quantum systems. However, large molecular permanent electric dipole moments are challenging to realize experimentally. We report the observation of ultralong-range Rydberg molecules with bond lengths of ~100 nan...

The absorption of a resonant coupling laser driving a closed degenerate two-level system in an atomic cesium beam was investigated as a function of the detuning of a second laser probing the same transition. The measurements were performed for four different polarization combinations of the two laser beams. Except for the beams of counterrotating polarizations all coupling-laser absorption prof...
