Measurements of air and noble-gas broadening and shift coefficients of the methane R3 triplet of the 2ν3 band

By using a tunable diode laser spectrometer with one absorption White cell for low pressure and one photoacoustic cell for high pressure, line shape parameters of the R3 triplet of the 2ν₃ band of methane at 1.65 μm were measured. The absorption line was recorded by using the wavelength modulation spectroscopy technique with first harmonic detection. The broadening and shift coefficients were obtained by fitting the first harmonic absorption signal while varying the pressure of different perturbing gases: air and noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton and xenon). We present here the results for the R3 triplet. The observed shift and broadening coefficients behaviors are discussed.

R＆D Status of NFM and Neutron Source in China

1 R＆D status of NFM It is necessary to develop a series of fission chamber of different sensitivities, from high to very low sensitivity for covering the yield range of fusion neutrons 10^13 - 10^21n/s produced by ITER with appropriate redundancy and overlap of dynamic range from in-situ calibration to the full power operation. The high sensitivity fission chamber employs high purity ^235U （93%） as fissile material. Exceeding 4 g of ^235UO2 is coated on the multi-electrodes.     

Dynamical analysis of fractional-order Rössler and modified Lorenz systems

This Letter is devoted to the dynamical analysis of fractional-order systems, namely the Rössler and a modified Lorenz system. The work here described compares the dynamical regimes of such fractional-order systems to that of the corresponding standard systems. It turns out that most of the chaotic attractors are topologically equivalent to those found in the original integer-order systems, although in some particular (and apparently rare) cases unusual bifurcation patterns and attractors are found.     

Correlation of the R1 and R2 values of gadolinium-based MRI contrast media with the ΔHounsfield unit of CT contrast media of identical concentration

The optimal volume of contrast medium must be injected into the patient who emits the maximum signal intensity in an ROI. This study was investigated four different type MRI and one CT contrast agent in vitro and sought to establish relations between concentration, MRI relaxivity, CT Hounsfield unites selected kVp and different MRI T1 sequences. Using a CT contrast medium and four different MRI T1 contrast media, we developed five different phantom series. The MRI contrast media phantom was imaged on 1.5T and 3T MRI systems and measured the R1 and R2 value. A CT scanner was used to obtain images of the Iopromide 370 phantom with the quality of radiation to obtain images. The Pearson's correlation coefficient analyses were conducted between MRI CM phantom series with Iopromide 370 phantom. The non-parametric statistical analyses were performed for the values of kVp. The ΔHU of the test solution of the CT contrast media was produced in the same amount as the exponentially increased concentration of the MRI contrast media according to the increase in the dilution concentration, and was influenced by the quality of the X-ray. Through the results of this experiment that considered the two aforementioned factors, an image with a high diagnosis value can be acquired from the information on the concentration of the MRI T1 contrast media.     

Measurements of pressure induced self-broadening and frequency shift coefficients of methane R9 manifold of 2v_3 band

An external-cavity diode laser (ECDL) has been used to investigate pressure-induced self-broadening as well as frequency shift of 2v3 band R9 manifold of methane. A phase sensitivity detection technology has been employed to determine the pressure induced frequency shift coefficient, however, which is obtained by line shape analyses of the recorded absorption spectrum. F1 and F2 unresolved double lines near 6105.626 cm-1 were measured as an object because they are often used to the high sensitivity detection of trace methane. The results show that the self-broadening and pressure induced frequency shift coefficients are 0.0232±0.003 and 0.0055±　0.0007 MHz/Pa, respectively.     

Microscopic Theoretical Calculations of R—Line Thermal Shifts and Broadenings of MgO：Cr^3＋

By taking into account all the irreducible representations and their components in the electron-phonon interaction (EPI) as well as all the levels and the admixtures of basic wavefunctions within d^3 electronic configuration,the values of all the parameters in the expressions of thermal shift (TS) and thermal broadening (TB) due to EPI for the ground level,R level and R line of MgO:Cr^3 have microscopically been evaluated;and then,TS and TB of R line and various contributions to them have uniformly been calculated.The results are in very good agreement with the experimental data.It is found that all the three terms of TS due to EPI are red shifts;the Raman term is the largest one,and the optical-branch term and neighbor-level term are important for TS;the contribution to TS from thermal expansion is blue shift,which is also important.The R-line TS of MgO:Cr^3 comes from the first-order term of EPI.The elastic Raman scattering of acoustic phonons plays a dominant role in R-line TB of MgO:Cr^3 .For both TS and TB,it is very important to take into account all the admixtures of basic wavefunctions within d^3 electronic configuration.     

Effects of R□R Term in High Dimensional Inflation

In this paper the R□R term is introduced to a high dimensional spacetime. We obtain various inflations at large R and □R～R^m for all anisotropic Bianchi types except IX. If the dimension of spacetime is larger than 2 but less than 6, the inflation will be inflation of power-law in flat Robertson-Walker metric.

We show that higher-dimensional integrable systems including the （2＋1）-dimensional generalized sine-Gordon equation and the （2＋1）-dimensional complex mKdV equation are associated with motions of surfaces induced by endowing with an extra space variable to the motions of curves on S^2（R） and S^3（R）.

Secondly, the contravariant algebraic forms of f(R) cosmology are obtained. Thirdly, the Lie algebraic structure admitted and Poisson’s integral methods are investigated for f(R) cosmology. Further, the first integrals and solution of f(R) cosmology are given. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the results.     

Decay and decoupling of heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos in the L–R model

Heavy right-handed neutrinos are of current interest. The interactions and decay of such neutrinos determine their decoupling epoch during the evolution of the universe. This in turn affects various observable features like the energy density, nucleosynthesis, CMBR spectrum, galaxy formation and baryogenesis. Here, we consider reduction of right-handed electron-type Majorana neutrinos, in the left–right symmetric model, by the channel and the channel originating from an anomaly, involving the gauge group, as well as decay of such neutrinos. We study the reduction of these neutrinos for different ranges of left–right model parameters, and find that, if the neutrino mass exceeds the right-handed gauge boson mass, then the neutrinos never decouple for realistic values of the parameters, but, rather, decay in equilibrium. Because there is no out-of-equilibrium decay, no mass bounds can be set for the neutrinos. Received: 1 November 2000 / Published online: 23 February 2001     

Microscopic—Theoretical Calculations of R—Line Thermal Shifts and Broadenings of MgO：V^2＋

A great improvement on a previous work (PHYS.Rev.B48 (1993) 14067) has been made.By taking into account all the irreducible representations and their components in the electron-phonon interaction (EPI) as well as all the levels and the admixtures of basic wavefunctions within d^3 electronic configuration,the values of all the parameters in the expressions of thermal shift(TS) and thermal broadening (TB) from EPI for the ground level,R level and R line of MgO:V^2 have microscopically been evaluated;and then,both the TS and TB of R line and various contributions to them have uniformly been calculated.The results are in very good agreement with the experimental data.It is found that all the three terms of TS from EPI are red shifts;the term of the contribution to TS from thermal expansion is blue shift.The Raman term is the largest,and the other terms are also important for TS.The R-line TS of MgO:V^2 comes from the first-order term of EPI.The elastic Raman scattering of acoustic phonons plays a dominant role in R-line TB of MgO:V^2 .For calculations of both the TS and TB,it is very important to take into account all the admixtures of wavefunctions.     

Estimates of Europa’s ice shell thickness and strain rate from flanking cracks and bulge along Ridge R

Europa, the second Galilean satellite outward from Jupiter, has an outer layer of water of about 100 km thick and an outmost ice shell. The thickness of the ice shell is very important in understanding Europa’s habitability and thermal history, but estimates from different studies are very inconsistent, ranging from 0.2 to 30 km. Here we obtain an estimate of the ice shell thickness from locations of flanking crack and forebulge along Ridge R. Considering the water’s heating process to nearby ice shell in the crack, a flexure model is applied and it suggests the thickness of an ice shell to be 500–1500 m without a convective layer. Compared with previous studies using the same method but ignoring the water’s heating process, the rationality and accuracy have been improved dramatically in our results. We also get some constraints on the strain rate and the characteristic temperature T _c, which defines the base of the elastic layer.     

Thermal fluctuations of dyadosphere of Reissner-Nordström,Janis-Newman-Winicour and f(R) global monopole black holes

In this paper, we study the effects of thermal fluctuations on Dyadosphere of Reissner-Nordström, Janis-Newman-Winicour and the fragmentation of f(R) global monopole black holes. In the presence of these fluctuations, we obtain various thermodynamic quantities like pressure, entropy, specific heat, Canonical and Grand Canonical ensembles. We discuss the stability of these black holes using the γ (the ratio of heat capacities). We also discuss the phase transition and range of local and global stability. It is demonstrated that in Dyadoshpere of Reissner-Nordström, Janis-Newman-Winicour and fragmentation of f(R) global monopole black holes become locally and globally stable due to logarithmic correction term and large horizon radius.     

Torsional splitting and l-doubling in the ν9 R Q 0 infrared band of ethane

A high resolution diode laser absorption spectrum of the ν₉ ^R Q ₀ branch of C₂H₆ at 822 cm^-1 reveals a rotational progression with anomalous spacing and intensity, which is shown to be a result of both l-doubling and torsional splitting of rotational levels, both of which give rise to a J(J+1) energy dependence. From a contour analysis of the spectrum we estimate values for the l-doubling and torsional splitting parameters.     

Consequences of Rényi entropy on the thermal geometries and Hawking evaporation of topological dyonic dilaton black hole

The thermodynamics of black holes(BHs) has had a profound impact on theoretical physics,providing insight into the nature of gravity, the quantum structure of spacetime and the fundamental laws governing the Universe. In this study, we investigate thermal geometries and Hawking evaporation of the recently proposed topological dyonic dilaton BH in anti-de Sitter(Ad S) space. We consider Rényi entropy and obtain the relations for pressure, heat capacity and Gibbs free energy and observe that the R...     

Mössbauer and N.M.R. studies of ErFe2Hx

Hydrides of Intermetallic compounds have been the object of many studies because of their potential applications/1/. Recent papers were devoted to the problem of interstitial site occupation in connection with H-H exclusion rule (d_H–H > 2.1 A). The present work deals with ErFe₂H_X, which has been investigated both by⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer Effect and by¹⁶⁷Er N.M.R. Previous studies were limited to X 2, 3.5, 4.1. Here five values of x (1.45, 1.6, 1.84, 2.6, 3.3) are considered, in order to obtain information on hydrogen location, filling and diffusion as a function of x, and also on hydrogen contribution to the electric field gradient (E.F.G.) and crystalline field at the Rare Earth.
