In concentrated solutions of NaClO4 and Na2SO4, the quantum yield for free electron generated by detachment from photoexcited anions (such as I-, OH-, ClO^4-, and [SO3]^2-) linearly decreases by 6-12% per 1 M ionic strength. In 9 M sodium…

High temperature condensates found in meteorites display uranium isotopic variations (235U/238U) that complicate dating of the formation of the Solar System and whose origin remains mysterious. It is possible that these variations are due…
The nucleus of uranium-235 ($^{235}$U) possesses an exceptionally low-energy isomeric state, $^{235m}$U. Unlike most radioactive nuclides, whose nuclear-decay half-lives are constant, the half-life of $^{235m}$U varies with its chemical…
Isotope effects associated with gas phase N2 photolysis are used to interpret Martian atmospheric evolution, icy satellite atmospheric chemistry and meteorite isotopic anomalies from nebular N2 photochemistry. To interpret observations at…
Water isotope separation, specifically separating heavy from light water, is a socially significant issue due to the usage of heavy water in applications such as nuclear magnetic resonance, nuclear power, and spectroscopy. Separation of…

Neutrinos with non-zero magnetic moments can dissociate deuterium nuclei by a photon exchange, in addition to the weak neutral current process. We calculate the neutrino-magnetic moment induced photo-dissociation cross section of deuterium…
Due to the similar physical and chemical properties, isotopes are usually hard to separate. On the other hand, the isotope shifts are very well separated in a high-resolution spectrum, making them possible to be addressed individually by…
