Infrared spectra of the BEDT-TTF and DIMET salts with NO3- and ClO4- anions
No full textThe infrared absorption spectra of the salts α-(BEDT-TTF)3(N03)2, (BEDT-TTF)3(Cl04)2, (DIMET)2Cl04xTHF and (DIMET)xx(N03)yx(TRF)z have been investigated in the temperature range 80-300 K. The vibrational bands in the BEDT-TTF crystals result from the coupling between electrons and a g modes of the BEDT-TTF molecule. The infrared spectra of the DIMET g salts suggest that the electron-molecular-vibration coupling is not limited to totally symmetric modes

Optimal solution error covariance in highly nonlinear problems of variational data assimilation
No full textThe problem of variational data assimilation for a nonlinear evolution model is formulated as an optimal control problem (see, e.g.[1]) to find the initial condition, boundary conditions or model parameters. The input data contain observation and background errors, hence there is an error in the optimal solution. For mildly nonlinear dynamics, the covariance matrix of the optimal solution error can be approximated by the inverse Hessian of the cost functional of an auxiliary data assimilation problem ([2], [3]). The relationship between the optimal solution error covariance matrix and the Hessian of the auxiliary control problem is discussed for different degrees of validity of the tangent linear hypothesis. For problems with strongly nonlinear dynamics a new statistical method based on computation of a sample of inverse Hessians is suggested. This method relies on the efficient computation of the inverse Hessian by means of iterative methods (Lanczos and quasi-Newton BFGS) with preconditioning. The method allows us to get a sensible approximation of the posterior covariance matrix with a small sample size. Numerical examples are presented for the model governed by Burgers equation with a nonlinear viscous term.

On analysis error covariances in variational data assimilation
No full textThe problem of variational data assimilation for a nonlinear evolution model is formulated as an optimal control problem to find the initial condition function (analysis). The equation for the analysis error is derived through the errors of the input data (background and observation errors). This equation is used to show that in a nonlinear case the analysis error covariance operator can be approximated by the inverse Hessian of an auxiliary data assimilation problem which involves the tangent linear model constraints. The inverse Hessian is constructed by the quasi-Newton BFGS algorithm when solving the auxiliary data assimilation problem. A fully nonlinear ensemble procedure is developed to verify the accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Numerical examples are presented

Radical cation salts of an unsymmetrical BEDT-TTF derivative: DIMET
No full textA surprising fact in the structures of the organic superconductors (TMTSF)2 Cl04 and -β-(BEDT-TTF)2X (X=I3-, IBr2- and AuI2-) is that there exists a slight dimerisation of the donor molecules within the stacks of these radical cation salts. Therefore, the question arises whether a more pronounced dimerisation in organic radical salts of this type leads to stronger intra- and interstack interactions and to stronger couplings between the unpaired electrons. This might result in an increase of the transition temperature to superconductivity. A step in this direction is the preparation of "unsymmetrical" donors like DIMET, which was synthesized recently. This new donor was electrocrystallized by us in different solvents using tetrabutylammonium salts of various anions like ClO4-, ReO4-, NO3-, I3-, (AuI2)-, PF6-, ASF6- and SbF6- as electrolytes. With all these anions radical salts were obtained and in some cases even several crystallographic different phases

Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
