Abstract

The medium response of solid hydrogens to an impulsive perturbation has been studied using Rydberg excitation of an NO impurity. This leads to formation of an "electronic" bubble which corresponds to a cage radius increment of about 25%. The process has been followed in real-time using femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Bubble dynamics is characterized by a one-way expansion of the cage with no recurrencies of the cage boundaries in both solid H2 and D2. The data is interpreted in terms of a dominant energy disspation by emission of sound waves and friction. [on SciFinder (R)]

Sound

In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain. Only acoustic waves that have frequencies lying between about 20 Hz and 20 kHz, the audio frequency range, elicit an auditory percept in humans. In air at atmospheric pressure, these represent sound waves with wavelengths of to . Sound waves above 20 kHz are known as ultrasound and are not audible to humans.

Solid oxide electrolyzer cell

A solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) is a solid oxide fuel cell that runs in regenerative mode to achieve the electrolysis of water (and/or carbon dioxide) by using a solid oxide, or ceramic, electrolyte to produce hydrogen gas (and/or carbon monoxide) and oxygen. The production of pure hydrogen is compelling because it is a clean fuel that can be stored, making it a potential alternative to batteries, methane, and other energy sources (see hydrogen economy).

Longitudinal wave

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels and displacement of the medium is in the same (or opposite) direction of the wave propagation. Mechanical longitudinal waves are also called compressional or compression waves, because they produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium, and pressure waves, because they produce increases and decreases in pressure.
