Systematic Properties of the 1／2[660]^i13／2 Bands in Odd-A Au Nuclei

A standard in-beam γ-spectroscopy experiment for^179 Au has been performed via the ^149Sm (^35Cl, 5n) reaction at beam energies of 164-180 MeV. Based on the analysis of the experimental results, a rotational band built on 1/2[660](π^i13/2)proton intruder orbital is established for^179 Au for the first time. Systematic properties of the 1/2[660](π^i13/2) band in odd-A Au nuclei are discussed,and the evolution of bandhead energy and deformation with changing neutron number are revealed.     

Comparison between formulas of rotational band for axially symmetric deformed nuclei

The experimental rotational spectra of the deformed nuclei available in even-even and odd-A nuclei in the rare-earth and actinide regions are systematically analyzed with several rotational spectra formulas, including Bohr-Mottelson's I(I+1)-expansion, Harris' ω²-expansion, ab and abc formulas. It is shown that the simple 2-parameter ab formula is much better than the widely used 2-parameter Bohr-Mottelson's AB formula and Harris'αβ formula. The available data of the rotational spectra of both ground-state band in even-even nuclei and one-quasiparticle band in odd-A nuclei can be conveniently and rather accurately reproduced by ab formula and abc formula. The moment of inertia and the variation with rotational frequency of angular momentum can be satisfactorily reproduced by ab and abc formulas.     

HIGH-RESOLUTION ANALYSIS OF THE ν2+2ν3 BAND OF HDO

The Fourier transform spectrum of the ν₂+2ν₃ band of the HDO molecule was recorded with a resolution of 0.02 cm^-1. The spectrum was rotational analysed and the spectroscopic parameters of the (0,1,2) state were estimated in terms of Watson's effective rotational Hamiltonian model and also the model in the Padé-Borel approximation form. They reproduce the upper energy levels with an accuracy close to the experimental uncertainty of 0.001 cm^-1.     

Study on third-order nonlinear optical properties of a soluble poly(p-phenylene vinylene) derivative

A soluble poly(2-methoxyo5-decoxy)-p-phenylene vinylene (PMODOPV) was synthesized via dehydrochlorination reaction and characterized by UV-visible absorption spectrum. The results showed that PMODOPV had a broad optical absorption band in the range of 450-550 nm and the optical band gap was calculated to be around 2.12 eV. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities (χ(3)) of PMODOPV films implanted by 30-kev N+ ions in the dose range of 3.8 × 1015-9.6 × 1016 ions/cm2 were measured by degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) technique. The results demonstrated that the resonant and offresonant χ(3) values were all enhanced significantly by means of ion implantation. The maximum resonant χ(3) value of 9.67 × 10-9 esu at 532 nm and off-resonant χ(3) value of 2.49 × 10-10 esu at 1.064μm were obtained when the ion dose was 3.8 × 1016 ions/cm2.     

Properties of the 3/2~-[521] band in the odd-N rare-earth nuclei

High-spin states in 161Er have been studied experimentally via the 150Nd(16O, 5n) reaction at a beam energy of 86 MeV. Three rotational bands built on the 5/2+[642], 3/2-[521], and 11/2-[505] configurations have been extended up to high-spin states, and particularly, the α = -1/2 branch of the ground state 3/2-[521] band has been revised significantly. It is found that signature inversion occurs in the 3/2-[521] band after the band crossing in 161Er. The systematics of the signature inversion associated wit...     

Observation of a new rotational band in ~(104)Nb nucleus

The high spin states in neutron-rich 104Nb have been investigated from study of prompt γ-rays in spontaneous fission of 252Cf with the Gammasphere detector array. A new rotational band has been identified for the first time. This band is proposed as a semi-decoupled band based on the configuration π5/2-[303]ν1/2-[541].     

Backbendings of superdeformed bands in ~(36,40)Ar

Experimentally observed superdeformed(SD) rotational bands in ~(36)Ar and ~(40)Ar are studied by the cranked shell model(CSM) with the pairing correlations treated by a particle-number-conserving(PNC) method.This is the first time that PNC-CSM calculations have been performed on the light nuclear mass region around A=40.The experimental kinematic moments of inertia J~((1))versus rotational frequency are reproduced well. The backbending of the SD band at frequency around ω =1.5 Me V in ~(36)Ar is attributed to the sharp rise of the simultaneous alignments of the neutron and proton 1 d_(5/2)[202]5/2 pairs and 1 f_(7/2)[321]3/2 pairs, which is a consequence of the band crossing between the 1 d_(5/2)[202]5/2 and 1 f_(7/2)[321]3/2 configuration states. The gentle upbending at low frequency of the SD band in ~(40)Ar is mainly affected by the alignments of the neutron 1 f_(7/2)[321]3/2 pairs and proton 1 d_(5/2)[202]5/2 pairs.The PNC-CSM calculations show that besides the diagonal parts, the off-diagonal parts of the alignments play an important role in the rotational behavior of the SD bands.     

Identical Bands and Alignment in ^193,194Tl

The microscopic mechanism of the identical bands in odd-odd nucleus ^194Tl and its neighbour odd-A nucleus ^193Tl are investigated using the particle-number conserving method with monopole and quadrupole pairing interaction. It is found that the blocking effect plays an important role in the variation of moments of inertia (J^(1) and J^(2)) with rotational frequency for the superdeformed bands and identical bands. The alignment of 194T1 bands with respect to the ^193Tl(1) band used as a reference is also discussed.     

Properties of the πh_(9/2)  νi_(13/2) band in odd-odd ~(188)Au

A new rotational band has been identified and assigned to 188Au for the first time using the 173Yb(19F,4nγ) reaction at the beam energies of 86 and 90 MeV. This band is proposed to be built on the πh9/2  νi13/2 configuration by comparing the band properties with known bands in neighboring nuclei. The prolate-to-oblate shape transition through triaxial shape has been proposed to occur around 188Au for the πh9/2  νi13/2 bands in odd-odd Au isotopes on the basis of total Routhian surface (TRS) calculations.
