NMR study of monomethylammonium cation in (CH3NH3)5Bi2Cl11 ferroelectric polycrystal

Spin-lattice relaxation times T₁ and T_1ρ are determined for protons in three polycrystals (CH₃NH₃)₅Bi₂Cl₁₁, (CD₃NH₃)₅Bi₂Cl₁₁ and (CH₃ND₃)₅Bi₂Cl₁₁. The temperature dependencies of the relaxation times obtained for (CH₃NH₃)₅Bi₂Cl₁₁ and (CD₃NH₃)₅Bi₂Cl₁₁ are interpreted as a result of correlated motions of the three-proton groups of the monomethylammonium cation. The minimum of the T_1ρ relaxation time is explained as a result of the oscillations of the symmetry axis of the whole cation.     

Magic nucleus 132Sn and its one-neutron-hole neighbor 131Sn

Prompt and delayed gamma-ray cascades in doubly magic 132Sn and its neighbor 131Sn have been studied at Gammasphere using a 248Cm fission source. Isotopic assignments of unknown gamma rays were based on coincidences with known transitions in A = 112-116 Pd fission partners. The yrast level spectra of both tin nuclei are interpreted using empirical nucleon-nucleon interactions from the 132Sn and 208Pb regions. Results include identification of the (nuf(7/2)h(-1)(11/2))9(+) aligned state in 132Sn and of extensive (nuf(7/2)h(-2)(11/2)), (nuf(7/2)d(-1)(3/2)h(-1)(11/2)) and (nuh(-1)(11/2)x3(-)) multiplets in 131Sn. The previously reported beta(-) decay of an unusual 131In high-spin isomer to levels in 131Sn is also elucidated.     

πg9/2(⊕)vh11/2 doublet bands in A～100 mass region

Using the model with one particle and one hole coupled with a triaxial rotor, the πg(-1)(9/2)(⊕)vh11/2 doublet bands in the A ～ 100 mass region are studied, and compared with the πh11/2(⊕)vh(-1)(11/2) doublet bands.It is found that the calculated results for the configuration of πg(-1)(9/2)(⊕)vh11/2 are very similar the results for a pure h11/2 proton particle and a neutron quasiparticle with λn =ε5. After including the pair correlation, the model describes the candidate chiral doublet bands in 106Rh successfully, which supports the interpretation of chirality geometry.     

The interfacial structure of water/protonated α-Al2O3 (11 ?20) as a function of pH

Sum frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS) was used to study the structure of the protonated α-Al(2)O(3) (11 ?20), and water/α-Al(2)O(3) (11 ?20) interfaces as a function of pH. By combining SFVS spectra with an oxygen-terminated model suggested by x-ray reflectivity, we are able to understand several details of the protonated α-Al(2)O(3) (11 ?20) interface structure. For example, the spectral changes observed for the water/α-Al(2)O(3) (11 ?20) interface with varying pH could be accounted for by the protonation/deprotonation of particular surface hydroxyls. Our spectra also indicate that the point of zero charge for this interface is at pH ~ 6.7.     

Electromagnetic Properties of S11 States in a Light Cone Quark Model

Using relativistic spin-flavor wave functions of a Lorentz-covariant light cone quark model, we calculate the electromagnetic form factors of two S11 resonances, N（1535） and N（1650）, and the helicity amplitudes A1/2 and S1/2 for electroexcitation of the S11 resonances from the nucleon. The electromagnetic form factors of these S11 resonances are found to be similar to those of the nucleon in shape, while the charge form factor of neutral N（1650） is nearly zero. The relative peak height of the S11 charge form factors is controlled by the mixing angle common to both resonance wave functions. As in most quark models, there is a systematic overestimate of A1/2 in both N（1535） and N（1650） cases at the photon point. A sizeable S1/2 for all cases is produced as suggested by experiments.

Fractional quantum Hall effect of composite fermions

In a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well of density 1 x 10(11) cm(-2) we observed a fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) at nu = 4/11 and 5/13, and weaker states at nu = 6/17, 4/13, 5/17, and 7/11. These sequences of fractions do not fit into the standard series of integral quantum Hall effects of composite fermions (CF) at nu = p/(2mp +/- 1). They rather can be regarded as the FQHE of CFs attesting to residual interactions between these composite particles. In tilted magnetic fields the nu = 4/11 state remains unchanged, strongly suggesting it to be spin polarized. The weak nu = 7/11 state vanishes quickly with tilt.     

OPTICAL ISOTOPE SHIFTS AND CONFIGURATION MIXING AT THE LEVEL (26772)011/2 IN Nd II

Optical isotope shifts in the transition 4f⁴5d ⁶I_11/2-(26772)⁰_11/2 of Nd II were measured by using collinear fast-ion-beam laser spectroscopy. The configuration admixtures of the previously unclassified (26772)⁰_11/2 level were quantitatively analyzed to be 4f⁴6p, 4f³5d², and 4f³5d6s with mixing probabilities of 13%, 85%, 2%, respectively.     

Steady state and transient fluorescence studies of CaF2: Dy single crystals

The steady state and transient fluorescence spectra of CaF₂: Dy³⁺ have been studied using Ar⁺ and N₂ lasers in the temperature range 77–673 K and in the wavelength region 4500–9000 Å. The spectra show the presence of two types of centers (type A and type B) with decay times of 1.3 and 3.5 ms. The observed spectrum is mostly due to type A centers. Three new groups of fluorescence ⁴F_9/2−⁶H_11/2, ⁴F_9/2−(⁶H_9/2, ⁶F_11/2) and ⁴F_9/2−(⁶H_7/2, ⁶F_9/2) have been observed for type A centers, and a tentative assignment of the positions of the Stark levels of ⁶H_11/2, (⁶H_9/2, ⁶F_11/2) and (⁶H_7/2, ⁶F_9/2) has been made. The change in the intensity of the transitions with temperature and excitation wavelength are discussed.     

Gelfand Pairs with Coherent States

The notion of solvable Gelfand pairs (K,N) (K is a compact Lie group acting on N, a solvable connected and simply connected Lie group) is due to Benson, Jenkins and Ratcliff. Thanks to the localization lemma, they came back to the case where K is a connected subgroup of U(n) acting on N = Hn, the 2n + 1-dimensional Heisenberg group. They gave a geometrical condition for such a pair: (K,Hn) is a Gelfand pair if and only if the intersection of each coadjoint orbit of G = K Hn with (Lie K) contains at most one integral K-orbit. Using coherent states, we define here a generating function of multiplicity m for each in K^. m is holomorphic on D(0,1), m (r) = n = 0 an rn, an and limr 1 m (r) = mtp (, W) (W is the generic representation of Hn naturally extended to K). (K,Hn) is thus a Gelfand pair if and only if limr 1 m 1. We prove here that if m is a non homogeneous function, then there is at least two K-orbits in the intersection of the generic coadjoint orbit associated to with (Lie K).     

In-band M1 and E2 transition rates and collective structures in Ba

Subpicosecond mean lifetimes of eight excited states in ¹²⁸Ba populated via the ⁹⁶Zr(³⁶S,4n) reaction were measured by the Doppler-shift attenuation (DSA) technique using a line-shape analysis. The differential decay-curve method (DDCM) was applied for the lifetime determination. The B(E2) values in the yrast band indicate that the first band-crossing is with a proton S-band. The configuration πh_11/2d_5/2 of the negative-parity semi-decoupled bands is confirmed by the measured B(E2, I → I − 2) and B(M1, I → I − 1) transition strengths. The higher-lying “dipole” band in ¹²⁸Ba can be described as a high-K four-quasiparticle band built on the prolate configuration (πh_11/2d_5/2) (νh_11/2g_7/2).     

Radiative and non radiative spectroscopic properties of Er ion in tellurite glass

We have investigated in detail the mechanism of infrared emission and upconversion emission of Er³⁺ in tellurite glass as a function of the dopant concentration. Both the infrared and upconversion emissions are competing processes and the efficiency of infrared emission at 1534 nm is 100% at the lowest Er content (0.5 mol%) and reduces to 50% at higher dopant concentration (>2 mol%). The green upconversion emission at 548 nm is mainly due to the excited state absorption (ESA) from ⁴I_11/2, which populate the ⁴F_7/2 level. In addition to this, the possible energy transfer (ET) through Er³⁺(⁴I_11/2) + Er³⁺(⁴I_11/2) → Er³⁺(⁴F_7/2) + Er³⁺(⁴I_15/2) can also results in the green emission as is noticed from the concentration dependent efficiency change of the green emission. The fluorescence quenching of green emission with Er concentration may be related with the cross relaxation (CR) process ²H_11/2 + ⁴I_15/2 → ⁴I_9/2 + ⁴I_13/2. The red emission is due to the combined effect of the ESA from level ⁴I_13/2 to ⁴F_9/2, the energy transfer process described by Er³⁺(⁴I_13/2) + Er³⁺(⁴I_11/2) → Er³⁺(⁴F_9/2) + Er³⁺(⁴I_15/2) and the cross relaxation process.     

Electromagnetic Properties of S11 States in a Light Cone Quark Model

Using relativistic spin-flavor wave functions of a Lorentz-covariant light cone quark model, we calculate the electromagnetic form factors of two S11 resonances, N(1535) and N(1650), and the helicity amplitudes A1/2 and S1/2 for electroexcitation of the S11 resonances from the nucleon. The electromagnetic form factors of these S11 resonances are found to be similar to those of the nucleon in shape, while the charge form factor of neutral N(1650) is nearly zero. The relative peak height of the S11 charge form factors is controlled by the mixing angle common to both resonance wave functions. As in most quark models, there is a systematic overestimate of A1/2p in both N(1535) and N(1650) cases at the photon point. A sizeable S1/2 for all cases is produced as suggested by experiments.     

Quadrupole parameters of 11B in crystalline CaO.B2O3.

The quadrupole coupling constant (Qcc) and asymmetry parameter (eta) of 11B in crystalline CaO.B2O3 have been measured employing three different NQR and NMR methods: (1) 11B and 10B NQR; (2) 11B NQR and NMR; and (3) the 11B Zeeman NQR powder pattern. It is found that Qcc = 2594.3 +/- 0.5 kHz and eta = 0.515 +/- 0.001 at 77 K, and Qcc = 2573.5 +/- 0.5 kHz and eta = 0.511 +/- 0.002 at 300 K. These values are in agreement with, but far more accurate than, values obtained from a fourth procedure: measurement of the second-order quadrupolar effects evident in the m = + 1/2<-->m = - 1/2 transition of the 11B NMR spectrum.

A≈100和130核区手征双重带的描述

利用三轴形变的粒子 转子模型讨论了A≈100和A≈130核区手征双重带.基于粒子空穴组态πh11/2 νh-111/2的计算很好地再现了A≈130核区N=75同中子素的手征双重带实验能谱.通过分析基于组态πg9/2 νg-19/2的约化跃迁几率B(E2)和B(M1)研究A≈100核区可能的手征双重带. The Chiral doublets for nuclei in A≈100 and 130 regions have been studied with the particle-rotor model. The experimental spectra of chiral partner bands for four N=75 isotones in A≈region have been well reproduced by the calculation with the configuration πh_(11/2)νh~(-1)_(11/2). The possible chiral doublets in A≈100 region have been predicted by the particle-rotor model (PRM) with the configuration πg_(9/2) νg~(-1)_(9/2) based on the analysis of the B(M1) and B(E2) transition probabilities.     

Approach to Perturbative QCD Results in Transition Amplitudes of Nucleon Negative-Parity Resonances

The scaling behaviors of the nucleon resonance transition amplitudes from perturbative QCD (PQCD) are utilized to parametrize the amplitudes of the first negative-parity nucleon resonance S₁₁(1535). Our analysis indicates that the constraints of the transition amplitude for the S₁₁ resonance at the limit Q²→∞ by QCD sum rule calculations are not applicable at a moderate Q² range of 2.5 ～ 4 GeV² compared with the present available data if the contribution of S₁₁ is dominant in the Q² limit.     

Quadrupole moment of the 11(-) intruder isomer in 196Pb and its implications for the 16(-) shears band head

The quadrupole moment of the 11(-) isomer in 196Pb has been measured by the level mixing spectroscopy method. This state has a pi(3s(-2)(1/2)1h(9/2)1i(13/2))11(-) configuration which is involved in most of the shears band heads in the Pb region. The first directly measured value of Q(s)(11(-)) = (-)3.41(66) b, coupled to the previously known quadrupole moment of the nu(1i(-2)(13/2))12(+) isomer allows us to estimate the quadrupole moment of the 16(-) shears band head as Q(s)(16(-)) = -0.32(10) b. The experimental values are compared to tilted axis cranking calculations, giving insight into the validity of the additivity approach to couple quadrupole moments and on the amount of deformation in the shears bands.     

Effect of substrate orientation on the defect-induced bound exciton emissions in GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy

The dependence of photoluminescence (PL) spectra at 2 K on the substrate orientation is reported for GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Samples investigated are GaAs grown on (n11)A- and (n11)B-oriented substrates where n is 2, 3, 5 and 9, and those on (321)A- (110)B- and (100)A-oriented ones. It was demonstrated that emissions denoted by defect-induced bound excitons (DIBE) present strong crystal orientation dependence. In the (n11) series, DIBE was enhanced peculiarly in (211)A and (311)A substrates and two sharp emissions denoted by t^* and v₃ were specifically observed there, but they were completely quenched for the (211)B substrate. When n exceeds 3, DIBE was observed ubiquitously in (n11)A and (n11)B substrates. The (321)A substrate indicated a most idiosyncratic DIBE with a strong enhancement of t^* and v₃. These results show that the spectral features pertinent to DIBE fully reflect the whole stacking process of impinging molecular beams on the growth front which is governed by the surface structure inherent to the surface dangling bonds of the substrate.
