H Ortho-Para Spin Conversion on Inhomogeneous Grain Surfaces. II. impact of the rotational energy difference between adsorbed ortho-H and para-H and implication to deuterium fractionation chemistry
Kenji Furuya, Toshiki Sugimoto, Kazunari Iwasaki +2
We investigate how the H ortho-to-para ratio (OPR) and dueterium fractionation in star-forming regions are affected by nuclear spin conversion (NSC) on dust grains. Particular…

Picocavity-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy of Physisorbed H and D Molecules
Akitoshi Shiotari, Shuyi Liu, George Trenins +4
We report on tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of H2 and D2 molecules physisorbed within a plasmonic picocavity at 10 K. The intense Raman peaks resulting from the rotational and vib…
