Isospin Effects on Anisotropic Flows in Intermediate Energy Heavy Ion Collisions

Anisotropic flows per nucleon （v1/A, v2/A, v3/A and v4/A） of light fragments up to the mass number 4 as a function of transverse momentum per nucleon are studied for 55 Me V/nucleon 58Fe＋58Fe and 58 Ni＋ 58 Ni at large impact parameters by the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. The effects of symmetry energy and nucleon-nucleon cross sections, which are both isospin-dependent on anisotropic flows, are studied in detail. In comparison of the two systems with or without symmetry potential term, the results show that the strength of flows is sensitive to symmetry potential and nucleon-nucleon cross sections, which mainly cause a repulsion effect in this energy region.     

Scaling of anisotropic flows and nuclear equation of state in intermediate energy heavy ion collisions

Elliptic flow （v2） and hexadecupole flow （v4） of light clusters have been studied in detail for 25 MeV/nucleon ^86Kr ＋ ^124Sn at large impact parameters by using a quantum molecular dynamics model with different potential parameters. Four sets of parameters including soft or hard equation of state （EOS） with or without symmetry energy term are used. Both number-of-nucleon （A） scaling of the elliptic flow versus transverse momentum （Pt） and the scaling of v4/A^2 versus （pt/A）^2 have been demonstrated for the light clusters in all above calculation conditions. It is also found that the ratio of v4/v2^2 maintains a constant of 1/2 which is independent of pt for all the light fragments. Comparisons among different combinations of the EOS and the symmetry potential term show that the above scaling behaviours are sound and independent of the details of potential, while the strengths of flows are sensitive to the EOS and the symmetry potential term.     

Fragment emission and critical behavior in light and heavy charged systems

We study the emission of fragments in central collisions of light and heavily charged systems of^4+Ar+^45 Sc and^s4Kr+^197 Au,respectively,using the Quantum Molecular Dynamics(QMD)model as the primary model.The fragments are identified using an energy based clusterization algorithm,i.e.,the Simulated Annealing Clusterization Algorithm(SACA).The charge distributions of intermediate mass fragments[3≤Zf≤12]are fitted with power-law(∝Zf^-τ)and exp on ential(∝e^-λZf)fits in order to extract the parametersτandλ,whose minimum values are also sometimes linked with the onset of fragmentation or the critical point for a liquid-gas phase transition.Other parameters such as the normalized second moment,<γ2>,average size of the second largest cluster,phase separation parameter(Sp),bimodal parameter(P),information entropy(H),and Zipfs law are also analyzed to find the exact energy of the onset of fragmentation.Our detailed analysis predicts that an energy point exists between 20-23.1 MeV/nucleon,which is very close to the experimentally observed value of 23.9 MeV/nucleon for the^40Ar+^45Sc reaction.We also find that the critical energy deduced using Zipfs law is higher than those predicted from other critical exponents.Moreover,no minimum is found for t values of the highly charged system of^84Kr+^197Au,in agreement with experimental findings and various theoretical calculations.We observe that the QMD+SACA model calculations are in agreement with the experimental observations.This agreement supports our results regarding the energy point of the liquid-gas phase transition and the onset of fragmentation.     

Understanding the isoscaling relationship in the fissioning system with evaluated data

The isoscaling parameters α_(eval) in the fissioning systems,i.e.,those extracted from the Evaluated Nuclear Data Library(ENDFIB-VIII.0) and the Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion File(JEFF-3.3),show an obvious difference from simple statistic model prediction where only the symmetry energy plays the dominant role.To explain the α_(eval) as a function of the charge number of the fission fragment,a statistic scission point model is adopted.Our analysis shows that the effects of the shell correction,nuclear shape deformation,and intrinsic temperature of fission fragments are indispensable as well as the symmetry energy.Furthermore,an alternative method for extracting the intrinsic temperatures of fission fragments is proposed based on the iso scaling relationship in fission fragments.The intrinsic temperatures of the light fragments are higher than those of the heavy fragments.     

Computation of products of phase space factors and nuclear matrix elements for double beta decay

Nuclear matrix elements(NME) and phase space factors(PSF) entering the half-life formulas of the double-beta decay(DBD) process are two key quantities whose accurate computation still represents a challenge. In this study, we propose a new approach of calculating these, namely the direct computation of their product as an unique formula. This procedure allows a more coherent treatment of the nuclear approximations and input parameters appearing in both quantities and avoids possible confusion in the interpretation of DBD data due to different individual expressions adopted for PSF and NME(and consequently their reporting in different units) by different authors. Our calculations are performed for both two neutrino(2 vββ) and neutrinoless(0 vββ) decay modes, for five nuclei of the most experimental interest. Further, using the most recent experimental limits for 0νββ decay half-lives,we provide new constraints on the light mass neutrino parameter. Finally, by separating the factor representing the axial-vector constant to the forth power in the half-life formulas, we advance suggestions on how to reduce the errors introduced in the calculation by the uncertain value of this constant, exploiting the DBD data obtained from different isotopes and/or decay modes.     

Secondary Beam Fragments Produced by 200 and 400 MeV/u ^12C^6＋ Ions in Water

Based on the GEANT4 toolkit, we study the transportation of nucleons and nuclei in tissue-like media. The fragmentation of projectile nuclei and secondary interactions of produced nuclear fragments are considered. Livermore data is used to calculate electromagnetic interaction of primary and secondary charged particles. We validate the models using experimental data of 200 MeV/u and 400 MeV/u carbon ions, interacting with tissue equivalent materials of water. The model can well describe the depth-dose distributions in water and the doses measured for secondary fragments of certain charge and certain mass number. The secondary beam fragments produced by 200 MeV/u and 400 MeV/u ^12C^6＋ ions in water are investigated using the model. When the primary nuclei are in water, several neutron production mechanisms are involved. The light charged particles （p, d, t, ^3He and ^4He） and fast neutrons contribute to the dose tail behind the Bragg peak. The ^11C fragments which may be the most suitable nuclei for monitoring the energy deposition in carbon-ion therapy are also discussed.     

Consistent Scaling Exponents at the Deconfined Quantum-Critical Point

We report a quantum Monte Carlo study of the phase transition between antiferromagnetic and valence-bond solid ground states in the square-lattice S=1/2 J-Q model.The critical correlation function of the Q terms gives a scaling dimension corresponding to the value v=0.455±0.002 of the correlation-length exponent.This value agrees with previous(less precise) results from conventional methods,e.g.,finite-size scaling of the nearcritical order parameters.We also study the Q-derivatives of the Binder cumulants of the order parameters for L~2 lattices with L up to 448.The slope grows as L~(1/v) with a value of v consistent with the scaling dimension of the Q term.There are no indications of runaway flow to a first-order phase transition.The mutually consistent estimates of v provide compelling support for a continuous deconfined quantum-critical point.     

Different production sources of light nuclei in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions

We systematically study different production sources of light nuclei in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions with a new method, an exclusive quark combination model + an inclusive hadron recombination model. We take deuterons and ~3 He produced in Pb-Pb collisions at ■= 2.76 TeV as examples to show the contribution of different production sources by studying their rapidity densities dN/dy, yield ratios and transverse momentum(PT)spectra just after hadronization and at the final kinetic freeze-out. We find that about a half of d and a fourth of ~3 He created just after hadronization can survive after the hadronic evolution process. Nucleons from A resonance decays make a much larger contribution to the regeneration of light nuclei at the hadronic phase stage, and this contribution is about 77% and 90% for d and ~3 He, respectively, calculated at the final kinetic freeze-out. In addition, we give an explanation for the constant behaviors of yield ratios d/p and ~3 He/p as a function of the averaged charged multiplicity in Pb-Pb collisions and also provide a possible explanation for the observation that d/p in Pb-Pb collisions is larger by a factor of about two than in pp collisions at LHC energies.     

Transverse radius dependence for transverse velocity and elliptic flow in intermediate energy HIC

The mean transverse velocity and elliptic flow of light fragments (A ≤ 2) as a function of transverse radius are studied for 25 MeV/nucleon ⁶⁴Cu+⁶⁴Cu collisions with impact parameters 3--5 fm by the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. By comparison between the in-plane and the out-of-plane transverse velocities, the elliptic flow dependence on the transverse radius can be understood qualitatively, and variation of the direction of the resultant force on the fragments can be investigated qualitatively.     

关於热能中子所致铀235分裂时发出的中子数目的讨论

An investigation on the average number v of prompt neutrons emitted per thermal neutron induced fission of U²³⁵ has been made with the Fermi gas statistical model. Weizsacker-Fermi semi-empirical mass equation has been used in calculating the neutron binding energies of the fission fragments. Using Stern's value for the mass of U²³⁵, the total excitation energy E_e of the fission fragments has been estimated to be of the order of 10 to 20 Mev for different hypotheses regarding the primary fission products. The results of calculation (given in the third table) show that only the hypothesis of equal radioactive chain lengths together with the assumption (A) that the excitation energy E_e is shared by the two fragments in proportion to their masses yields values of v exceeding 2. The latter assumption is not in accord with the experimental finding of Fraser that the light fragment group emits on the average 30% more neutrons than does the heavy. However, a shift of mass of U²³⁵ towards larger values or of kinetic energy of fission fragments towards lower values so that 5 Mev more excitation energy is available would make v considerably larger than 2 even with the assumption (B) that the excitation energy is shared by the two fragments in inverse proportion to their masses, thus making possible conformity with Fraser's discovery. Even then, in no case has the value of v thus calculated exceeded 3 (as shown in the fourth table), which may then be taken as a theoretical upper bound for the value of ν for thermal neutron induced fission of U²³⁵. The results of this investigation are thus seen to be in harmony with the recently announced experimental value 2.5 ±0.1 for ν.

 在室温下测量了GdoBr:Eu的常压和高压荧光谱，光谱范围在13 000~21 500 cm^-1之间，压力至12 GPa。由光谱数据得到了Eu³⁺晶场能级随压力的变化曲线。⁷F_0～5能级随压力的变化规律比较复杂，而⁵D_0~2各能均随压力的升高几乎线性地降低。在基态谱项⁷F的49个状态上进行了晶场拟合计算，所得常压下的5个非零晶场参数分别为：B₀²＝-1 124.0 cm^-1，B₀⁴＝-969.6 cm^-1，B₄⁴＝827.9 cm^-1，B₀⁶＝889.6 cm^-1，B₄⁶＝377.0 cm^-1。高压下的计算结果表明，B₀⁴、B₀⁶这两个晶场参数随压力的增加而增大，B₄⁶随压力的增加而减小，而B₀²、B₄⁴随压力的变化有些起伏。晶场强度在8 GPa以下随压力增加而减小，其后开始变强。

Qq^- Q ^- q＇ States in Chiral SU（3） Quark Model

We study the masses of Qq^- Q ^- q＇ states with J^PC=0^＋＋,1＋＋ and 2^＋＋ in the chiral SU（3）quark model, where Q is the heavy quark （c or b） and q （q＇） is the light quark （u, d or s）. According to our numerical results, it is improbable to make the interpretation of [cn^-C^-n]1＋＋ and [cn^-C^-n]2＋＋ （n = u, d） states as X（3872） and Y（3940）, respectively. However, it is interesting to find the tetraquarks in the bq^-b^-q＇ system.     

Luminescent Characteristics of LiSrBO3：Eu3＋ Phosphor for White Light Emitting Diode

LiSrBO3 ：Eu3＋ phosphor is synthesized by a high solid-state reaction method, and its luminescent characteristics are investigated. The emission and excitation spectra of LiSrBO3：Eu3＋ phosphors exhibit that the phosphors can be effectively excited by near ultraviolet （401 nm） and blue （471 nm） light, and emit 615nm red light. The effect of Eua＋ concentration on the emission spectrum of LiSrBO3：Eu3＋ phosphor is studied; the results show that the emission intensity increases with increasing Eu3＋ concentration, and then decreases because of concentration quenching. It reaches the maximum at 3mol%, and the concentration self-quenching mechanism is the dipoledipole interaction according to the Dexter theory. Under the conditions of charge compensation Li＋, Na＋ or K＋ incorporated in LiSrBO3, the luminescent intensities of LiSrBO3 ：Eua＋ phosphor are enhanced.     

Laser-induced positive ion and neutral atom/molecule emission from single-crystal CaHPO4·2 H2O: The role of electron-beam-induced defects

We examine laser-induced ion and neutral emissions from single-crystal CaHPO₄·2 H₂O (brushite), a wide-band-gap, hydrated inorganic single crystal, with 248-nm excimer laser radiation. Both laser-induced ion and neutral emissions are several orders of magnitude higher following exposure to 2 keV electrons at current densities of 200 7A/cm² and doses of 1 C/cm². In addition to intense Ca⁺ signals, electron-irradiated surfaces yield substantial CaO⁺, PO⁺, and P⁺ signals. As-grown and as-cleaved brushite show only weak neutral O₂ and Ca emissions, whereas electron-irradiated surfaces yield enhanced O₂, Ca, PO, PO₂, and P emissions. Electron irradiation (i) significantly heats the sample, leading to thermal dehydration (CaHPO₄ formation) and pyrolysis (Ca₂P₂O₇ formation) and (ii) chemically reduces the surface via electron stimulated desorption. The thermal effects are accompanied by morphological changes, including recrystallization. Although complex, these changes lead to high defect densities, which are responsible for the dramatic enhancements in the observed laser desorption.     

Giant Static Dielectric Constant of Strained PbTiO3

First-principles density functional perturbation calculations are employed to study the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of strained tetragonal PbTiO3. Lattice distortion, static dielectric constant, Born effective charge, zone-centre phonons, and piezoelectric constant are obtained. For the strained tetragonal PbTiO3, we obtain a giant static dielectric constant （3600） under a strain 0. 77%. Moreover, the calculated piezoelectric constant e15 of strained PbTiO3 reaches about 203 C/m^2 which is about 20 times of that of unstrained system. The giant static dielectric constant is mainly due to the softening of the lowest-frequency phonon mode and the reduce of Ti-O bond length. This work demonstrates a route to a giant static dielectrics for electrically microwave and other devices.     

Preparation and Luminescence Characteristics of Ca3Y2（BO3）4：Eu^3＋ Phosphor

Ca3Y2 （BO3）4：Eu^3＋ phosphor is synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction method, and the Iuminescence characteristics are investigated. The emission spectrum exhibits two strong red emissions at 613 and 621 nm corresponding to the electric dipole ^5 Do- ^7F2 transition of Eu^3＋ under 365 nm excitation, the reason is that Eu^3＋ substituting for Y^3＋ occupies the non-centrosymmetric position in the crystal structure of Ca3 Y2 （BO3）4. The excitation spectrum for 613 nm indicates that the phosphor can be effectively excited by ultraviolet （UV） （254 nm, 365nm and 400nm） and blue （470nm） light. The effect of Eu^3＋ concentration on the emission intensity of Ca3 Y2 （BO3）4 ：Eu^3＋ phosphor is measured, the result shows that the emission intensities increase with increasing Eu^3＋ concentration, then decrease. The CIE colour coordinates of Ca3Y2 （BO3）4：Eu^3＋ phosphor is （0.639, 0.357） at 15mol% Eu^3＋.
