  • The interaction between adsorbed water and hydrogen on metallic surfaces is important for fundamental understanding of heterogeneous catalysis and electrode surface reactions in acidic environment. Here, we explore a long-standing question of whether hydronium ion can exist or not on a Pt surface coadsorbed with atomic hydrogen and water. Studies based on mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy show clear evidence that hydrogen atoms are converted into hydrated protons on a Pt(111) surface. The preferential structures of hydrated protons are identified as multiply hydrated $H_5O_2{^+}$ and $H_7O_3{^+}$ species rather than as hydronium ions. The multiply hydrated protons may be regarded as two dimensional zundel ($H_5O_2{^+}$) and Eigen cation ($H_7O_3{^+}$) in water-metal interface. These surface-bound hydrated protons may be key surface intermediates of the electrochemical interconversion between adsorbed hydrogen atoms and solvated protons.

  • Investigation of the structure of the gangliosides has proven to be very important in the understanding of their biological roles such as regulation of differentiation and growth of cells. Unexchanged hydroxyl protons and amide protons in ganglioside are protrude farther from the carbon backbone than the C-linked protons and provides nOe contacts with other protons which can provide additional distance constraints in structural determination.

  • The paper gives a brief introduction to protonic defects and their chemistry, thermodynamics and transport in oxides. The temperature dependence of the equilibrium concentration of protons is illustrated and compared for different acceptor-doped oxides. The difficulties of saturating as well as emptying the oxides of protons are discussed. In order to illustrate the possibility of lattice relaxation of defects, a conceptual study is made of a case where the enthalpy of dissolution of protons(water) at the cost of oxygen vacancies is assumed dependent on the concentration of vacancies. It is shown how this changes the behavior of hydration curves vs temperature and water vapour pressure. finally, a discussion is given on the water uptake in heavily oxygen deficient oxides; how water uptake may affect order-disorder in the oxygen sublattice and eventually lead to defective, disordered or ordered oxyhydroxides or hydroxides of potential interest as intermediate temperature proton conductions.

  • The effect of copper oxide on migration and interaction of protons in barium zirconate was investigated using density functional theory. One copper atom was substituted for a zirconium atom site, and a proton was added to a $3{\times}3{\times}3$ barium zirconate superstructure. An energy barrier of 0.89 eV for proton migration was the highest among several energy barriers. To investigate the interaction between multiple protons and a copper atom, two protons were added to the superstructure. Various proton positions were determined by the interaction between the two protons and the copper atom.

  • Spin-lattice relaxation of methyl protons in 2,6-dichlorotoluene and N-methyl phthalimide, each dissolved in CDCl$_3$, has been studied at 34$^{\circ}$C and the contribution from spin-rotation interaction to the relaxation process has been separated from that due to dipole-dipole interactions among methyl protons. The results show that the spin-rotational contributions to the initial rate of relaxation in 2,6-dichlorotoluene and N-methyl phthalimide amount to 18 and 31%, respectively, of the total relaxation rate at 34$^{\circ}$C. The method of separating the spin-rotational contribution from that of dipolar interactions adopted in this paper is based on the well known fact that in an A$_3$ spin system such as methyl protons in liquid phase dipolar relaxation mechanism gives non-exponential decay of the z-component of total magnetization of protons while the random field fluctuation such as spin-rotational mechanism causes exponential decay.

  • Time of flight Technique를 사용한 coincidence spectrometer에 의해 액체 형광물질(liquid scintillator) NE213의 전자와 양자에 대한 빛 방출량을 측정하였다. 이 실험에서 양자에너지 (3.2Mev, 4Mev, 5Mev, 6Mev)는 2Mev에서 9Mev에 이르는 여러 에너지 분포를 갖고 있는 Am.Be 중성자원을 사용하여 중성자 탄성산란의 각도(45$^{\circ}$ and 60$^{\circ}$)와 측정기간의 거리를 조절하므로서 얻었다. NE213액체발광물질의 빛 방출량은 전자 에너지에 대해 선형적인 응답을 보였으며 양자에 대한 응답은 에너지 증가에 따라 비선형적이었다. 빛의 세기도 전자에 의한 응답이 양자에 의한 것보다 약 세배 가랑 컸다. 본 실험결과는 Batchelor et at 이 발표한 실험결과와 거의 비슷했다.

  • Collisionless shocks with low sonic Mach numbers, M<4, are expected to accelerate cosmic ray (CR) protons via diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) in the intracluster medium (ICM). However, observational evidence for CR protons in the ICM has yet to be established. Performing particle-in-cell simulations, we study the injection of protons into DSA and the early development of a nonthermal particle population in weak shocks in high ${\beta}$ plasmas. Reflection of incident protons, self-excitation of plasma waves via CR-driven instabilities, and multiple cycles of shock drift acceleration are essential to the early acceleration of CR protons in supercritical quasi-parallel shocks. We find that only in ICM shocks with $M{\geq}2.3$, a sufficient fraction of incoming protons are reflected by the overshoot in the shock electric potential and magnetic mirror at locally perpendicular magnetic fields, leading to efficient excitation of magnetic waves via CR streaming instabilities and the injection into the DSA process. Since a significant fraction of ICM shocks have M < 2.3 CR proton acceleration in the ICM might be less efficient than previously expected. This may explain why the diffuse gamma-ray emission from galaxy clusters due to proton-proton collisions has not been detected so far.

  • Migration and interaction of multi-protons in a zinc-doped barium zirconate (Zn-doped $BaZrO_3$) super cell were investigated using a density functional theory. O ions in the super cell form interconnected octahedrons with Zr or Zn ions positioned in their centers and Ba ions positioned among the eight octahedrons. When one proton was added to the super cell, the energy barrier of 0.80 eV for proton transfer from the first to second nearest O ion sites from the Zn ion reached its highest value. When two protons were added to the super cell, the two protons preferred the first nearest O ions from the Zn ion. The two protons were accommodated by pushing the neighboring Zn ion further away from the center of the octahedron. Energy barriers for proton transfer from the Zn-octahedron to the neighboring Zr-octahedron were spread in the range of 0.36 ~ 1.02 eV.

  • Proton coupled carbon-13 relaxation experiment was performed to investigate the effect of vicinal protons on spin-lattice relaxation of methylene carbon-13 in n-undecane. A BIRD type pulse sequence was employed as a way to check the validity of describing the 13CH2 moiety as an isolated AX2 spin system. The results show that the presence of vicinal protons exerts substantial influence on the relaxation of methylene carbon-13, indicating that it is not a very good approximation to treat a methylene moiety as an isolated AX2 spin system.

  • The effects of β-CD, Me-β-CD, and biphenyl capped β-CD on 1H NMR spectra of mandelic acid 1, α-methylbenzylamine 2 and 2-phenylpropionic acid 3 were investigated. Enantiomeric recognition was observed for mandelic acid 1 by all the hosts used, for α-methylbenzylamine 2 by β-CD and Me-β-CD, and for 2-phenylpropionic acid 3 by Me-β-CD. In the presence of biphenyl-capped β-CD, ο-, m-, and p-protons of the phenyl groups of the guests are discriminated due to ring current of the capped biphenyl group. The splitting pattern of the phenyl protons indicates that the phenyl group of the guests is inserted into the β-CD cavity from the secondary hydroxyl side and positioned in close proximity to the capped biphenyl ring. The magnitude of the upfield shifts of H3 and H5 protons of β-CD upon binding of guests 1-3 is similar to that caused by ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, suggesting that the substitution at benzylic carbon atom has little effect on the depth of the insertion of the phenyl group into the β-CD cavity and stability of the inclusion complexes.
