Stability of small mixed clusters of 4He and 3He atoms

The existence of small helium clusters containing a variable number of 4He and 3He atoms is studied within a variational Monte Carlo calculation employing the Aziz HFD-B(HE) pair interaction. The clusters 4He(2) support one and two 3He atoms; however, the system with three 3He atoms is metastable, and the next bound system requires at least 18 fermions. All clusters obtained by adding 3He atoms to the trimer 4He(3) and the tetramer 4He(4) are bound, but the clusters 4He(3)-3He(3,4,5) and 4He(3,4)-3He(9) are metastable. All remaining clusters with three or more bosons and any number of fermions are stable.     

Quantized vortices in mixed 3He-4He drops

Using density functional theory, we investigate the structure of mixed (3)He(N3)-(4)He(N4) droplets with an embedded impurity (Xe atom or HCN molecule) which pins a quantized vortex line. We find that the dopant+vortex+(4)He(N4) complex, which in a previous work [F. Dalfovo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 1028 (2000)] was found to be energetically stable below a critical size N(cr), is robust against the addition of 3He. While 3He atoms are distributed along the vortex line and on the surface of the 4He drop, the impurity is mostly coated by 4He atoms. Results for N4 = 500 and a number of 3He atoms ranging from 0 to 100 are presented, and the binding energy of the dopant to the vortex line is determined.

Stability of 3He2 4He M and 3He3 4He M L = 0,1 Clusters

We have studied the stability of mixed ³He/⁴He clusters in L = 0 and L = 1 states by the diffusion Monte Carlo method, employing the Tang-Toennies-Yiu (TTY) He-He potential. The clusters ³He⁴He_M ( ) and ³He₂⁴He_M (L = 0, S = 0) are stable for M > 1, while to bind two ³He in a triplet state the minimum number of ⁴He is four. Considering clusters with three ³He, ³He₃⁴He₄ is the smallest stable system in the L = 1 state, while ³He₃⁴He₈ is the smallest stable system in the L = 0 state.     

Primary populations of metastable antiprotonic (4)He and (3)He atoms

Initial distributions of metastable antiprotonic (4)He and (3)He atoms over principal (n) and angular momentum (l) quantum numbers have been deduced using laser spectroscopy experiments. The regions n = 37-40 and n = 35-38 in the two atoms account for almost all of the observed fractions [(3.0 +/- 0.1)% and (2.4 +/- 0.1)%] of antiprotons captured into metastable states.     

Bubble formation and decay in 3He and 4He clusters

The energy transfer in 3He and 4He clusters electronically excited by monochromatic synchrotron radiation is investigated by luminescence spectroscopy. Depending on the cluster size and the isotopic constitution, either sharp, broadened, or shifted emission bands of single He molecules are observed. The spectral features show that He molecules emit light either within a bubble inside the cluster or in the vacuum after desorption from the cluster. From the luminescence intensity, the cluster diameter, and the radiative lifetime, an average velocity of approximately 7 m/s of bubbles in 4He clusters could be deduced. In the nonsuperfluid 3He clusters this velocity was observed to be significantly lower.     

Ab initio many-body calculations of the (3)H(d,n)(4)He and (3)He(d,p)(4)He fusion reactions

We apply the ab initio no-core shell model combined with the resonating-group method approach to calculate the cross sections of the (3)H(d,n)(4)He and (3)He(d,p)(4)He fusion reactions. These are important reactions for the big bang nucleosynthesis and the future of energy generation on Earth. Starting from a selected similarity-transformed chiral nucleon-nucleon interaction that accurately describes two-nucleon data, we performed many-body calculations that predict the S factor of both reactions. Virtual three-body breakup effects are obtained by including excited pseudostates of the deuteron in the calculation. Our results are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data and pave the way for microscopic investigations of polarization and electron-screening effects, of the (3)H(d,γn)(4)He bremsstrahlung and other reactions relevant to fusion research.

Si3Xn (X=C,O,N;n=1,2)团簇的密度泛函研究

使用密度泛函理论(DFT)的杂化密度泛函B3LYP方法在6-31G*基组水平上对Si3Xn(X=C,O,N;n=1,2)团簇各种可能的构型进行几何结构优化,预测了各团簇的最稳定结构.并对最稳定结构的电子结构、振动特性、成键特性和电荷特性等进行了理论研究.结果表明团簇的几何结构都是平面结构,通常Si3X2出现是Si-X键,较少出现X-X键;而Si3X中出现Si-X键和Si-Si键共存,Si3Xn(X=C,O,N;n=1,2)团簇的电荷布局分布表明这种电荷转移的作用使得团簇中所有X原子呈负电性,Si原子显正电性.处于不同位置的Si原子呈不同大小布局数,而且由于Si3X2的对称性,2个X负电性相同.     

Large-space cluster model calculations for the 3He(3He,2p)4He and 3H(3H,2n)4He reactions

The ³He(³He,2p)⁴He and ³H(³H,2n)su4He reactions are studied in a microscopic cluster model. We search for resonances in the ³He+³He and ⁴He + p + p channels using methods that treat the two- and three-body resonance asymptotics correctly. Our results show that the existence of a low-energy resonance or virtual state, which could influence the ⁷Be and ⁸B solar neutrino fluxes, is rather unlikely. Our calculated ³He(³He,2p)⁴He and ³H(³H,2n)⁴He cross sections are in a good general agreement with the experimental data.     

(MgC)n (n=1~10)团簇结构稳定性及金属性第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理对同比例二元团簇(MgC)n (n=1~10)的结构稳定性和金属性进行比较系统的研究。结果显示：当原子总数N=2, 4, 6, 8, 12时,二元团簇的结构为平面形状,其余为对称性较低的三维构型,且Mg3C3为幻数结构。另外,在二元团簇的形成过程中,镁、碳原子并不是均匀分布于空间中,而是首先形成各自倾向的构型,再结合成团簇。同时,(MgC)n (n=1~10)二元团簇的基态结构在原子总数N=10时发生突变,由平面形向三维结构转变。此外,最高占据轨道和最低未占据轨道间的能隙值除N=8外呈逐渐降低的趋势,说明在同比例二元团簇随尺寸增加的演化中出现半导体性与金属性间的相互转变行为。

Ta4Cn^-/0(n=0-4)团簇的电子结构、成键性质及稳定性

本文采用尺寸选择的负离子光电子能谱技术,结合密度泛函理论,对Ta4Cn^-/0(n=0-4)团簇电子结构、成键性质以及稳定性进行了研究.实验测得Ta4Cn-(n=0—4)团簇负离子基态结构的垂直脱附能分别为(1.16±0.08),(1.35±0.08),(1.51±0.08),(1.30±0.08)和(1.86±0.08)eV.中性Ta4Cn(n=0—4)团簇的电子亲和能分别为(1.10±0.08),(1.31±0.08),(1.44±0.08),(1.21±0.08)和(1.80±0.08)eV.研究发现Ta4^-/0团簇为四面体结构,Ta4C1-/0团簇中碳原子覆盖在Ta4四面体的一个面上方,Ta4C2^-/0团簇则是两个碳原子分别覆盖在Ta4四面体中的两个面上方.Ta4C3^-/0团簇是一个缺角立方体结构.Ta4C4^-/0团簇则是近似立方体结构,可以看成是α-TaC面心立方晶体的最小晶胞单元.分子轨道分析结果显示Ta4C3团簇的单电子最高占据轨道主要布居在单个钽原子周围,导致Ta4C3^-团簇的垂直脱附能明显低于其相邻团簇.理论研究显示随着碳原子数目的增加,Ta4Cn^-/0(n=0—4)团簇中的钽-钽金属键逐渐被钽-碳共价键取代,单原子结合能逐渐增加且明显高于Ta4+n^-/0(n=0-4)团簇.中性Ta4C4的单原子结合能高达7.13 eV,这说明钽-碳共价键的形成有利于提高材料的熔点,这与碳化钽作为高温陶瓷材料的特性密切相关.

Microscopic study of the low-energy3He(3He, 2p)4He and3H(3H, 2n)4He fusion cross sections

We have calculated the³He(³He, 2p)⁴He and³H(³H, 2n)⁴He reaction cross sections at low energies within the microscopic multichannel resonating group method. For both reactions, we find good agreement with experiment. For the³H(³H, 2n)⁴He reaction, our calculated energy dependence reproduces that of each individual low-energy experimental data set, except for a normalization constant. Using this fact, we derive at a low-energy³H(³H, 2n)⁴He rate by taking the averaged mean of these fits.This work has been supported in part by the National Science Foundation, Grants PHY86-04197 and PHY88-17296.
