Shape change and fast M1 transitions in Kr

A shape transition from a probably asymmetric shape at low excitation to a more axial-symmetric shape above 21/2⁺ has been found in ⁸¹Kr. This shape change and the drastic increase of the M1 transition probabilities above spin 21/2 are attributed to the alignment of two g_9/2 protons.     

Effects of N/Z on Spin Distribution of Evaporation Residue Cross Section as a Probe of Nuclear Dissipation

The spin distribution of the evaporation residue cross section of nuclei ¹⁹⁴Pb, ²⁰⁰Pb, ²⁰⁶Pb, and ²⁰⁰Os are calculated via a Langevin equation coupled with a statistical decay model. It is shown that with increasing the neutron-to-proton ratio (N/Z) of the system, the sensitivity of the spin distribution to the nuclear dissipation is decreased significantly. Moreover, for ²⁰⁰Os this spin distribution is no longer sensitive to the nuclear dissipation. These results suggest that to obtain a more accurate pre-saddle viscosity coefficient through the measurement of the evaporation residue spin distribution, it is best to yield those compound systems with low N/Z.     

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.     

Solid-state 13C and 1H spin diffusion NMR analyses of the microfibril structure for bacterial cellulose

To obtain further information about the cause for the rather large splitting of the C4 resonance line into the downfield (C4D) and upfield (C4U) lines in CP/MAS ¹³C NMR spectra for native cellulose, ¹³C and ¹H spin diffusion measurements have been conducted by using different types of bacterial cellulose samples. In ¹³C spin diffusion measurements, the C4D resonance line is selectively inverted by the Dante π pulse sequence and the ¹³C spin diffusion is allowed to proceed from the C4D carbons to other carbons including the C4U carbons with use of the ¹³C4-enriched bacterial cellulose sample. The analysis based on the simple spin diffusion theory for the process experimentally observed reveals that the C4U carbons may be located at distances less than about 1 nm from the C4D carbons. In ¹H spin diffusion measurements, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) films in which ribbon assemblies of bacterial cellulose are dispersed are employed and the ¹H spin diffusion process is examined from the water-swollen PVA continuous phase to the dispersed ribbon assemblies by the ¹³C detection through the ¹H–¹³C CP technique. As a result, it is found that the C4D and C4U carbons are almost equally subjected to the ¹H spin diffusion from the PVA phase, indicating that the C4U carbons are not localized in some limited area, e.g. in the surfacial region, but are distributed in the whole area in the microfibrils. These experimental results suggest that the C4U carbons may exist as structural defects probably due to conformational irregularity associated with disordered hydrogen bonding of the CH₂OH groups in the microfibrils.     

High-spin study of Xe

High-spin states have been populated in ₅₄¹¹⁹Xe via the ⁹⁶Mo(²⁷Al,p3n) reaction at 133 MeV, using the γ-ray spectrometer to record triple γ-ray coincidences. The known level scheme has been significantly extended and several band crossings identified. In particular, the νh_11/2 yrast band has been extended to I^π = (83/2⁻) and shows features which are consistent with those of smooth band termination at high spin. Theoretical results for ¹¹⁹Xe at high spin are discussed within the framework of cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations, together with results for ¹¹⁷Xe.     

THE APPLICATION OF HIGH RESOLUTION SOLID STATE NMR IN ADSORPTION SYSTEMS

High resolution solid state NMR techniques(such as MAS,CP/MAS andCRAMPS)were employed to study the nature of organic molecules adsorbed onporous solids. A magic angle spinning system was achieved for sealed samples with a spinning speed from 2KHz to 4.2KHz.Using this technique,high resolution ~1HMAS spectra of organic molecules and H_2S adsorbed on charcoal were obtained.EXperimental results suggest that for high coverage of adsorbed organic molecules,the spectral lines were resolved very well.But for low coverage,the spectrallines could not be separated completely.As the organic molecules condensed in     

Identification of Bandhead Spin and Identical Bands for Odd-A Nuclei in $A\sim190$ Superdeformed Mass Region

The dynamical moment of inertia is estimated with its even-power expansion of the rotational frequency and in accordance we determine the intermediate spins of the superdeformed (SD) rotational bands. Using Marquardt method of nonlinear least-squares routines, we determine the expansion coefficients by fitting the proposed dynamical moment of inertia with its recent experimental data of the SD nuclei in the A=190 mass region. The comparison between our theoretical and available experimental data for the dynamic moment of inertia and spin shows good agreements. Also, we have calculated the static moment of inertia at three alternative values of spin. The value of spin at which the two moments of inertia are nearly equals is to be regarded as a bandhead spin of the corresponding band. These studies are carried out for eighteen bands of odd-A nuclei of the superdeformed region 190, namely ¹⁸⁹Hg(b1), ¹⁹¹Hg(b1, b2, b3, b4), ¹⁹³Hg(b2, b3, b5), ¹⁹⁵Hg(b1, b2, b3, b4), ¹⁹³Tl(b1, b2, b3, b5), ¹⁸⁹Tl(b1), and ¹⁹⁷Bi(b1). We also notice the occurrence of identical SD bands with near identical transition energies among the considered SD bands.     

Measurement of transition quadrupole moments of high-spin states in the N=74 isotones Pr, Ce and La

The Doppler-Shift Attenuation Method has been used to extract transition quadrupole moments of high-spin bands in the N=74 isotones ¹³³Pr, ¹³²Ce and ¹³¹La, produced in the ³⁷Cl + ¹⁰⁰Mo reaction. The results appear to be configuration dependent and, for ¹³³Pr and ¹³²Ce, the involvement of Ω=1/2 νh_9/2 and νf_7/2 intruder orbitals appears to enhance the collectivity at high spin (I>25 ).     

Isospin and Symmetry Structure in 36Ar

The interacting boson model-3(IBM-3) has been used to study the isospin excitation states and electromagnetic transitions for ³⁶Ar nucleus. The mixed symmetry states and superdeformed band at low spin are also analyzed. The theoretical calculations are in agreement with experimental data, and the ³⁶Ar is superdeformed rotational nucleus close to the SU(3) limit. The present calculations indicate that the 2₄⁺ state is the lowest mixed symmetry state and the lowest isospin T=1 excitation state and at about 6.2 MeV, and the bandhead of superdeformed band is 0₂⁺ state.     

29Si and 19F MAS NMR spectra of isolated 29Si(19F)2 and 29Si(19F)3 spin systems: experiments and simulations

We consider ²⁹Si and ¹⁹F MAS NMR spectra of isolated ²⁹Si(¹⁹F)₂ and ²⁹Si(¹⁹F)₃ spin systems in two organosilicon compounds of the type RR’SiF₂ and RSiF₃(R,R′=organic ligands). Experimental spectra are analysed by means of numerical simulations. It is found that the SiF₃ group in RSiF₃ is reorienting rapidly around the molecular Si–C bond direction in the solid state. The two ¹⁹F shielding tensors in RR’SiF₂ have strongly differing orientations relative to the two Si–F bond directions in the molecule. Possibilities and limitations of straightforward MAS NMR approaches for the full characterisation of ²⁹Si(¹⁹F)₂ and ²⁹Si(¹⁹F)₃ spin systems and other dipolar coupled two and three-spin systems are discussed.

Description of Rotation Bands in 157,158Er at Ultrahigh Spin

Properties of the four rotation bands, ¹⁵⁷Er(1,2) and ¹⁵⁸Er(1,2), at ultrahigh spin are investigated within the supersymmetry scheme including many-body interactions and possessing the SO(5) (or SU(5)) symmetry on the rotational symmetry. Quantitatively good results of the  γ-ray energies and the dynamical moments of inertia in the rotation bands in ¹⁵⁷Er and ¹⁵⁸Er at ultrahigh spin are obtained. We theoretically predict that the competition between the anti-pairing and pairing effects may exist in ¹⁵⁷Er(1,2) and ¹⁵⁸Er(2) bands states. In ¹⁵⁸Er(1) band state, the favoure-pairing effects may exist and the SO(5) (or SU(5)) symmetry play a dominant role. There may be sphere coexisting with headecupole deformed in ¹⁵⁸Er(1) rotation band state.     

Study of the ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition of NaH3(SeO3)2 single crystals by H and Na NMR

The ¹H and ²³Na spin–lattice and spin–spin relaxation times of NaH₃(SeO₃)₂ single crystals grown using the slow-evaporation method were measured as functions of temperature and frequency in the ferroelectric and paraelectric phases. The changes in the symmetry of the (SeO₃)²⁻ dimers as a result of the ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition are associated with large changes in the spin–lattice and spin–spin relaxation times, and in the number of resonance lines. The large changes in the relaxation times at 195 K indicate that the H and Na ions are significantly affected by this transition. The change in the number of resonance lines for the ¹H and ²³Na nuclei means that the orientations of the (SeO₃)²⁻ dimers and the environments of the Na ions change at T_C. Therefore, the orientations of the (SeO₃)²⁻ dimers and the environments of the Na ions play important roles in the phase transitions. In conclusion, the ferroelectric–paraelectric phase transition of NaH₃(SeO₃)₂ is accompanied by changes in hydrogen-bond structure and distortions of the (SeO₃)²⁻ and Na⁺ ion lattices, which form a slightly distorted octahedron.     

Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation mechanisms in kaolinite confirmed by magic-angle spinning

Spin-lattice relaxation mechanisms in kaolinite have been reinvestigated by magic-angle spinning (MAS) of the sample. MAS is useful to distinguish between relaxation mechanisms: the direct relaxation rate caused by the dipole-dipole interaction with electron spins is not affected by spinning while the spin diffusion-assisted relaxation rate is. Spin diffusion plays a dominant role in ¹H relaxation. MAS causes only a slight change in the relaxation behavior, because the dipolar coupling between ¹H spins is strong. ²⁹Si relaxes directly through the dipole-dipole interaction with electron spins under spinning conditions higher than 2 kHz. A spin diffusion effect has been clearly observed in the ²⁹Si relaxation of relatively pure samples under static and slow-spinning conditions. ²⁷Al relaxes through three mechanisms: phonon-coupled quadrupole interaction, spin diffusion and dipole-dipole interaction with electron spins. The first mechanism is dominant, while the last is negligibly small. Spin diffusion between ²⁷Al spins is suppressed completely at a spinning rate of 2.5 kHz. We have analyzed the relaxation behavior theoretically and discussed quantitatively. Concentrations of paramagnetic impurities, electron spin-lattice relaxation times and spin diffusion rates have been estimated.     

The origin of nuclear magnetism in solid He films: determination of multi-spin exchange frequencies

Solid ³He films adsorbed on graphite display remarkable magnetic properties due to quantum exchange, reduced dimensionality and frustration. We discuss the relevance of the multiple spin exchange Hamiltonian to describe these systems. Our high precision NMR data and the results of heat capacity measurements performed in other laboratories allow us to unambiguously determine the most significant multi-spin exchange frequencies. This result gives a quantitative understanding of the thermodynamical properties of solid ³He films, explaining the evolution from a pure Heisenberg behavior at high areal densities to a novel spin liquid state at low coverages.     

Fluctuation effects in spin diffusion measurements in liquid He

We have measured spin diffusion coefficients of liquid ³He at a frequency of 920 kHz by pulsed NMR. By analyzing our data in the framework of the Leggett–Rice theory we got a spin diffusion coefficient and a Leggett–Rice parameter =λωτ simultaneously at each temperature. On approaching the superfluid transition the spin diffusion coefficients showed a deviation from predictions of the Fermi liquid theory. The deviation at low pressure was larger than that at high pressure. This anomaly may be due to the effects of fluctuations of superfluidity which were recently observed in the viscosity measurement of liquid ³He.     

Residual 31P, 35,37Cl dipolar coupling in 31P MAS spectra of chlorocyclophosphazenes

In ³¹P MAS NMR spectra of chlorocyclophosphazenes, characteristic splittings have been observed for PCl or PCl₂ groups. At different applied magnetic fields, the fine structure and total width of the patterns change in a characteristic way, demonstrating that the splittings are due to indirect spin–spin and residual dipolar interactions with the chlorine nuclei directly bonded to phosphorus. For trans-nongeminal N₃P₃Cl₃(NMe₂)₃ and N₃P₃Cl₆ as examples, the spectra have been analyzed to obtain information on chlorine nuclear quadrupole coupling constants and ^35,37Cl, ³¹P indirect spin–spin coupling constants. Neglect of these interactions may result in misinterpretations of the multiplicity in ³¹P MAS spectra of chlorophosphazenes.     

Reversible H2 passivation of Si ≡ Si3 interface defects in (1 1 1)Si/SiO2

K-band electron spin resonance (ESR) at 4.3 K has revealed the dipole-dipole (DD) interaction effects between [1 1 1]P_b centers (^*Si ≡ Si₃ defects with unpaired sp³ hybrid [1 1 1]) at the 2 dimensional (1 1 1)Si/SiO₂ interface. This has been enabled by the perfectly reversible H₂ passivation of P_b, which affects the defect's spin state. Sequential hydrogenation at 253–353°C and degassing treatments in high vacuum at 743–835°C allowed to vary the P_b density in the range 5 × 10¹⁰ < [P_b] (1.14 ± 0.06) × 10¹³ cm^-2. With increasing [P_b] fine structure doublets are clearly resolved. It is found that (1 1 1)Si/SiO₂ interfaces, dry thermally grown at ≈920°C, naturally comprise a ^*Si ≡ Si₃ defect density — passivated or not — of 1.14 × 10¹³ cm^-2.     

一种可用于极化~3He实验的新型磁场系统

13C spin-lattice relaxation in natural diamond: Zeeman relaxation in fields of 500 to 5000 G at 300 K due to fixed paramagnetic nitrogen defects

¹³C Spin–lattice relaxation (SLR) times in the laboratory frame have been measured at room temperature as a function of field in the range of 500 to 5000 G on two natural type Ib and Ia diamonds after dynamic nuclear polarization. Each of the diamonds contains two types of fixed paramagnetic centers with overlapping inhomogeneous electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) lines. EPR techniques have been employed to identify these defects and to determine their concentrations and relaxation times at X-band. Three different nuclear SLR paths, namely that due to electron SLR and two types of three spin processes, are discussed. The one three-spin process (TSP) (type 1) involves a simultaneous transition of two electron spins belonging to the same hyperfine EPR line and a ¹³C spin while the other process (type 2) involves two electron spins belonging to different hyperfine EPR lines and a ¹³C spin. It is shown that the thermal contact between the ¹³C nuclear Zeeman and electron dipole–dipole interaction reservoirs decreases with an increase in field intensity, thus forming a bottleneck in the ¹³C relaxation path due to the type 1 TSP. The contribution of TSP of type 1 dominates that due to electron SLR and the type 2 TSP in relaxing the ¹³C nuclei in type Ib diamond from about 1200 to 5000 G, while for type Ia diamond it dominates from 500 up to about 2200 G. In type Ia diamond over the range 2200 to 5000 G it seems that the type 2 TSP, which involves electrons of neighboring P2 hyperfine lines, dominates that of electron spin–lattice and the type 1 TSP. Over the range 500 to about 1200 G, a field-dependent electron SLR mechanism associated with N3 centers appears to dominate the ¹³C SLR.
