Shape coexistence in 76Se within the neutron–proton interacting boson model

We have investigated the low-lying energy spectrum and electromagnetic transition strengths in even–even ⁷⁶Se using the proton–neutron interacting boson model (IBM-2). The theoretical calculation for the energy levels and E2 and M1 transition strengths is in good agreement with the experimental data. Specifically, the excitation energy and E2 transition of ${0}_{2}^{+}$ state, which is intimately associated with shape coexistence, can be accurately reproduced. The analysis on low-lying states and the key structure indicators R₁, R₂, R₃ and R₄ and M1 transitions indicates that there is a coexistence between spherical shape and γ-soft shape in ⁷⁶Se.     

Pair Excitations in Even-Even Nuclei

A charge exchange term is added to the n-p effective interaction in treating eveneven nuclei with shape coexistence. The energy spectra and some of the E2 transition rates are calculated for ^112,114Cd, ^114,116Sn and ^118,120Te nuclei. The inclusion of this new term helps to improve an agreement with experimental data.     

Structure Evolution in the Even-Even 124-134Xe with IBM2

We have investigated the structure evolution of the ^124-134Xe isotopic chain in the framework of the proton-neutron interacting model IBM2. The positive parity spectra of the ground state, quasi-β and quasi-γ bands are reproduced well. The staggering in ^124-130Xe are almost completely removed and the γ band agree well with the experiment data, even for the high-spin quasi-γ states. The key quantities of the collective structure evolution, including level energies, the B(E2) transition branching ratios, and the M1 excitations to 1₁⁺ mixer-symmetry states are analyzed by comparing with the experimental data. The parameters for representation of the O_πν(6) and SU_πν^*(3) features in isotopes are examined. Both experimental data and theoretical results show that the shape phase transition of ^124-134Xe isotopic chain is from the SU_πν^*(3) (triaxial rotation) to the U_πν(5) (vibration motion) with a considerable constituent of the O_πν(6) symmetry (γ-unstable rotation), where the shape phase transition rapidly takes place between the neutron number N = 76 and N = 78.     

Charge Exchange Component of n-p Interactions

An extra term of n-p effective interaction containing charge exchange component is proposed and applied to treating odd-mass nuclei with shape coexistence. The energy spectra and some E2 transition branching ratios are calculated for odd-A nuclei ^113~125Sb,^115~127I. With the inclusion of new term, an overall agreement with experiment is much improved.

微波场作用下La2O2S：Eu荧光粉的快速合成及其发光特性

采用微波法快速合成了La₂O₂S:Eu红色荧光粉,用X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、荧光光谱等对合成产物进行了分析和表征。结果表明:材料的晶体结构为六方晶系,与纯La₂O₂S的结构相同。颗粒的形状不规则,分散性较好,尺寸在2μm左右。La₂O₂S:Eu的激发光谱主要是位于200~450nm范围内的宽带,此宽带激发来源于Eu³⁺的电荷转移态的吸收跃迁。在472nm左右出现一弱的尖锐的吸收峰,属于Eu³⁺的4f→4f跃迁吸收。发射光谱是由512,539,556,583,596,617,627nm的一系列窄带发射峰组成。这些发射峰归属于Eu³⁺从⁵D_J(J=0,1,2)到⁷F_J(J=0,1,2,3,4)的能级跃迁。随着Eu摩尔分数从2%增加到10%,主激发峰从348nm移动到365nm,移动了17nm;位于蓝绿区的发射峰逐渐减弱,627nm处的红光发射明显增强,当Eu的摩尔分数为8%时发光强度达到最大,继续增加Eu的浓度发光强度反而降低。     

Low-lying electronic states of CuN calculated by MRCI method

The high accuracy ab initio calculation method of multi-reference configuration interaction(MRCI) is used to compute the low-lying eight electronic states of CuN.The potential energy curves(PECs) of the X~3∑~-,1~3Π,2~3∑~-,1~3△,1~1△,1~1∑~-,1~1Π,and ~5∑~- in a range of R=0.1 nm-0.5 nm are obtained and they are goodly asymptotes to the Cu(~2S_g) + N(~4S_u) and Cu(~2S_g)+N(~2D_u) dissociation limits.All the possible vibrational levels,rotational constants,and spectral constants for the six bound states of X~3∑~-,1~3Π,2~3∑~-,1~1△,1~1∑~-,and 1~1 Π are obtained by solving the radial Schrdinger equation of nuclear motion with the Le Roy provided Level 8.0 program.Also the transition dipole moments from the ground state X~3∑~- to the excited states 1~3Π and 2~3∑~- are calculated and the result indicates that the 2~3∑-X~3∑ transition has a much higher transition dipole moment than the 1~3Π-X~3∑~- transition even though the l~3Π state is much lower in energy than the 2~3∑~- state.     

Fission of Th and U in the interaction with negative muons

Muon-induced fission of ²³²Th and ²³⁸U was studied, measuring the time correlation between stopping muons, fission events and electrons.

The measured muon lifetimes are τ_μ(²³²Th) = 77.3±0.3 ns and τ_μ(²³⁸U) = 77.1±0.2 ns. After prompt fission the muon was found to be attached predominantly to the heavy fragment with a lifetime for ²³²Th of 132±7 ns and for ²³⁸U of 134±4 ns. The probability for muon conversion was found to be a few percent per fission event.

Indications were found that the muonic shape isomer is populated in ²³⁸U when the nucleus is excited in a radiationless muonic transition.

关于93Mo中21/2+晕阱的来源(英文)

本研究通过壳模型计算研究了N=51的同中子素91Zr、93Mo和95Ru中高自旋晕态21/2+的同核异能态现象。计算发现,低角动量的p_1/2轨道上的质子是仅在93Mo中存在21/2+晕阱的主要原因。同时,本工作还研究了N=52的同中子素92Zr、94Mo和96Ru中10₁+-12₁+能级结构的系统性,发现94Mo中的10₁+-12₁+能级间隙相对最小,考虑到与93Mo的17/2₁+-21/2₁+能级相似的组态,这一结果为93Mo中出现21/2+晕阱提供了补充性的论证。Isomerism of the high-spin yrast 21/2+ states of the N=51 isotones 91Zr, 93Mo and 95Ru has been investigated using the shell model calculations. It is found that the low-j πp_1/2 is responsible for the only yrast trap in 93Mo. In addition, the relatively smaller 10₁+-12₁+ level spacing in 94Mo has been found by investigating the systematics of the 10₁+-12₁+ level structures in the N=52 isotones 92Zr, 94Mo and 96Ru. This result provides a supplementary argument to the origin of the 21/2+ yrast trap in 93Mo from the viewpoint of the similarity between the configurations of 10₁+-12₁+ states in 94Mo and those of 17/2₁+-21/2₁+ states in 93Mo.     

YNbO4：Tm3+/Yb3+上转换发光特性研究

按照50Nb₂O₅-（46-x）Y₂O₃-4Yb₂O₃-xTm₂O₃（x=0.1,0.2,0.5,1,2）的配比方式,采用高温固相法制备出了掺杂Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺的YNbO₄晶体粉末。在980 nm红外光激发下,观测到波长为478,645,707 nm的上转换荧光,分别对应于Tm³⁺离子的¹G₄→³H₆、¹G₄→³F₄、³F₃→³H₆能级跃迁过程。利用上转换发射功率与980 nm激光器工作电流关系估算出跃迁过程吸收光子数目为2.72,2.69,2.01,从而确定出前两者为三光子吸收过程,最后一个对应于双光子吸收过程。运用Judd-Ofelt理论研究样品光谱特性,根据样品的吸收谱得到样品的谱线强度参数Ω_t（t=2,4,6）,进而得出理论振子强度及实验振子强度,二者均方根偏差δ_rms=1.299×10^-7。计算了Tm³⁺离子向下能级跃迁的跃迁几率、跃迁分支比等参数。最后得出结论：（1）³F₄能级寿命较长,适合作为上转换中间能级;（2）³H₅能级寿命较长,且³H₅→³H₆跃迁分支比（96.46%）接近100%,可用于产生1 216 nm激光。     

Projectile coulomb excitation of Ne and Ne

The static quadrupole moments of the first excited J^π = 2⁺ states in ²⁰Ne and ²²Ne and the reduced electric quadrupole transition probabilities of these states to the ground states were measured via projectile Coulomb excitation. The quadrupole moments were deduced from the shapes of γ-ray angular distributions. The results are: Q(²⁰Ne, 2⁺) = −0.20±0.05 b and Q(²²Ne, 2⁺) = −0.11±0.05 b. The transition strengths were deduced from yield measurements and by comparison with the yields of target γ-rays. The results are: B(E2; 0⁺ → 2⁺, ²⁰Ne) = 0.037±0.003 e² · b² and B(E2; 0⁺ → 2⁺, ²²Ne) = 0.025±0.002 e²· b². The results for the transition strengths are consistent with the results of accurate timing methods and resolve discrepancies between previous experiments. The results for the quadrupole moments are consistent with earlier measurements, although the mean values we obtain are slightly lower. The experimental measurements are compared with theoretical predictions and a detailed discussion is given of corrections to this type of reorientation experiment.     

Studies on the Ne(p, d)Ne and Ne(d, p)Ne reactions

Angular distribution measurements have been performed on the ²¹Ne(p, d)²⁰Ne and ²¹Ne(d, p)²²Ne reactions at E_p = 20 MeV and E_d = 10.2 MeV, respectively. In the ²¹Ne(p, d) ²⁰Ne reaction, the prolific formation of the J^π = 2⁺, 1.63 MeV state was characterized by l_n = 2 pickup, and the distribution associated with the 4⁴, 4.25 MeV state was suggestive of a weak l_n = 2 pickup. All of the observed l_n = 1 pickup strength is associated with formation of the 2⁻, 4.97 MeV ²⁰Ne level. The ²¹Ne(d, p)²²Ne results indicate that l_n = 2 transfer is involved in the formation of the 1.28, 3.36, 5.52, 5.63 and 6.65 MeV ²²Ne states. The angular distribution observed for the 2⁺, 4.46 MeV state and also the unresolved 5.33, 5.36 MeV composite of states required both l_n = 0 and l_n = 2 components in the associated distorted-wave Born approximation fits. The spectroscopic factors extracted from the present results are compared with those predicted by the Nilsson model without mixing: Applications of the angular momentum projection rule to the ²¹Ne(d, p)²²Ne reaction are considered.     

Shape Coexistence in Odd-Mass Nuclei near Z = 50

An earlier work dealing with shape coexistence for even-even nuclei is extended to treating odd-mass nuclei including proton excitations across closed shell. With the approach, energy spectra and some E2 transition branching ratios are calculated for odd-Anuclei^113~125Sb,^115~127I. The theoretical results give a good reproduction to the experimental data.     

Triaxial Shape,Signature Splitting,and Shape Coexistence in 127,129,131Nd

Signature splitting and shape coexistence at high spin in the neutron deficient nucleus ¹²⁹Nd are investigated with the configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky approach. The calculated bands are compared with the observed signature partner bands and very good agreement results at high spin are obtained. The observed deformed bands are confirmed as normal and highly deformed and their properties are explained theoretically. Terminating states in ¹²⁹Nd and other terminations are predicted. There is shape coexistence within the same configuration from low-spin states to high-spin states. Possible normal and highly deformed bands with rotation around the intermediate principal axis in several interesting configurations of ¹²⁹Nd are discussed. The experimental results for ¹³¹Nd are simply discussed and the calculated bands are in good agreement with observed bands at high spin. Triaxial shapes in ¹²⁷Nd with a triaxial deformation of γ～-12^º are predicted and should be observed experimentally. The value of negative γ of π(h_11/2)⁴ν(h_11/2)⁷ configuration increases with neutron number increasing in ^127,129,131Nd. The triaxial shape evolutions with neutron number increasing in ^127,129,131Nd and in ^{126,128,130,132}Pr are explained by the strong driving force of specified single particle orbitals towards to triaxial shape.

Structural,Spectroscopic and Vibrational Properties for Low-Lying Electronic States of LiCl

A multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) study has been carried out on the LiCl molecule. The potential energy has been calculated over a wide range of internuclear separation for the 21 low-lying electronic states of the LiCl molecule dissociating into Li (²S, ²P, ³S)+Cl(²P). The (4)¹Σ⁺, (3)¹Π, 1-3³Σ⁺, 1-3³Π, ^1,3Δ, ^1,3Σ^-, (5)¹Σ⁺, (4)³Σ⁺, (4)¹Π, (4)³Π excited states are studied for the first time in theory. Molecular spectroscopic constants (R_e, D_e, ω_e, ω_eχ_e, B_e and α_e) have been derived for the 9 bound states (X¹Σ⁺, (3)¹Σ⁺, (2)¹Σ⁺, ^1,3Δ, ^1,3Σ^-, (4)¹Π, (4)³Π) with a regular shape, and the spectroscopic constants of ground states X¹Σ⁺ are in good agreement with available experimental and theoretical values. The relative differences between experimental values and our values for R_e, D_e, ω_e, ω_eχ_e, B_e and α_e are 1.02%, 0.60%, 1.72%, 9.46%, 2.0%, and 0.75%, respectively. Moreover, vibrational levels of 9 bound states, which have not been investigated experimentally, are computed.     

Photoluminescence of LLGG:Cr crystals under high pressure

We present photoluminescence spectra of La_2.7Lu_2.29Cr_0.01Ga₃O₁₂ and La_2.32Lu_2.59Cr_0.02Ga_3.07O₁₂ doped with Cr³⁺ obtained at high hydrostatic pressure up to 220 kbar, applied in a diamond anvil cell at 20 K and room temperature. In both materials we have obtained a pressure-induced ⁴T₂–²E electronic cross-over. On the basis of the low-temperature R line luminescence at pressures above 100 kbar we have distinguished two dominant Cr³⁺ sites: and β, existing in both materials, and one minor site δ, that exists only in La_2.32Lu_2.59Cr_0.02Ga_3.07O₁₂. The pressure-induced shifts of the R₁, R_1β and R_1δ lines as well as the pressure shift of the broad band related to the ⁴T₂→⁴A₂ transition in both materials have been estimated.
