1 Saam, Brian3He spin exchange cells for magnetic resonance imagingWe present a protocol for the consistent fabrication of glass cells to provide hyperpolarized (HP) 3He for pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging. The method for producing HP 3He is spin-exchange optical pumping. The valved cells must hold of order 1 atm.L of gas at up to 15 atm pressure. Because char...3He; Spin exchange cells; Hyperpolarized 3He; Pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging; Spin-exchange optical pumping; SEOP; Glass cells2002
2 Lupton, John MarkBright electroluminescence from a conjugated dendrimerPhotoluminescence and electroluminescence (EL) from a conjugated dendrimer consisting of three distyrylbenzene units linked by a central nitrogen atom as core and meta-linked biphenyl units as dendrons were investigated. The conjugated dendrimer emits green light and shows photoluminescence quantum ...Conjugated dendrimer2002
3 Ailion, David CharlesDynamics of the pinned modulation wave in incommensurate bis (4-chlorophenyl) sulfone (BCPS)We show that both the anomalously huge resonance-frequency dependence of the 3 5Cl nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spin-lattice relaxation time in BCPS, reported here for the first time, and its anomalous temperature dependence can be explained by large-scale fluctuations of the pinned modulation...NQR; Spin-lattice; Relaxation-time; Pinned modulation wave2002
4 Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Raikh, Mikhail E.Evidence for braggoriton excitations in opal photonic crystals infiltrated with highly polarizable dyesWe studied angle-dependent reflectivity spectra of opal photonic crystals infiltrated with cyanine dye aggregates, which are highly polarizable media with very large Rabi frequency. We show that, at resonance condition between the exciton-polariton of the dye aggregate and the Bragg gap, the Bragg s...Braggoriton excitations; Opal photonic crystals; Cyanine dye aggregates; Bragg; Photonic band-gap; PBG; Polarizable dyes2002
5 Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Raikh, Mikhail E.Excitations in opal photonic crystals infiltrated with polarizable mediaPhotonic crystals (PC) are a class of artificial structures with a periodic dielectric function. PCs can be a laboratory for testing fundamental processes involving interactions of radiation with matter in novel conditions. We have studied the optical properties of opal PCs that are infiltrated with...Opal photonic crystals; Polarizable media; Bragg gap; Polaritonic gap; Photonic stop band2002

7 Lupton, John MarkFrequency up-conversion as a temperature probe of organic opto-electronic devicesFrequency up-conversion is demonstrated in a polyfluorene-based conjugated polymer. Up-converted emission is observed upon excitation to the red of the 0-0 luminescence band. The emission intensity depends strongly on temperature and provides an accurate probe of the operating temperature of organic...Frequency up-conversion; Organic opto-electronic devices2002
8 Sokolsky, PierreHigh Resolution Fly's Eye - status and preliminary results on cosmic ray composition above 10^18 eVWe describe the current status of the High Resolution Fly's Eye detector. Event reconstruction and associated systematics for stereo reconstruction are discussed and recent preliminary results on the study of the composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays by the Xmax method are presented.

10 Dawson, KyleMasses of high-redshift clusters via SZ effect observationsWe present Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (SZE) observations of distant, highly X-ray luminous clusters of galaxies. We use the SZE data to constrain their total masses, independent of X-ray observations. To do this, we assume the clusters have the same gas mass fraction as that derived from SZE measure...Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect; X-rays; Redshift2002
11 Lupton, John MarkMolecular thermometer based on long-lived emission from platinum octaethyl porphyrinA highly sensitive molecular thermometer based on platinum octaethyl porphyrin, which can be employed in a range of environments, is presented.
