«Hopefully, OLEDs will become better — use less electricity and produce more light — because we learned here
how nuclear spins» orientation influences how well the OLED works,» Boehme says.
Not exact matches
I'm not sure
how they'll
spin this one, but its looking increasingly likely that this divorce will pursue the
nuclear option.
Water molecules can exist as one of two isomers, depending on
how the
spins of their two hydrogen atoms are orientated: ortho, where the
nuclear spins are parallel to one another, and para, where the
spins are antiparallel.
The research team, which included Natalya Pugach from the Skobeltsyn Institute of
Nuclear Physics, studied the interactions between superconductivity and magnetization in order to understand
how to control electron
spins (electron magnetic moments) and to create the new generation of electronics.
In the new experiments, the physicists used magnetic resonance to reverse the
nuclear spins in hydrogen isotopes embedded in the OLED, and then were able to detect
how the reversed
spins caused a change in the electrical current through the OLED.
Because
nuclear spin - controlled electrical current regulates output of light by the OLED, it provides a way to study
how to make OLEDs more efficient.
By creating a magnetic field that interacts with the
nuclear spins of carbon atoms in the proteins, NMR measures a trait known as chemical shift for some of the individual atoms in the sample, which reveals
how those atoms are connected.
