The KLL dielectronic recombination processes for highly charged krypton, iodine and barium ions

The KLL dielectronic recombination (DR) processes of ions from highly charged helium-like to oxygen-like krypton, iodine and barium ions are studied systematically in the relativistic distorted-wave approximation with configuration interaction. The KLL DR resonant energies, the corresponding resonant strengths and the theoretical spectra for each highly charged ion species are obtained. The results accord well with other available values. The behaviour of KLL resonant strengths for He-like ions with atomic number Z is analysed.

Ionization and single electron capture in collision of highly charged Ar16+ ions with helium

This paper uses the two-centre atomic orbital close-coupling method to study the ionization and the single electron capture in collision of highly charged Ar^16＋ ions with He atoms in the velocity range of 1.2-1.9 a.u.. The relative importance of single ionization （SI） to single capture （SC） is explored. The comparison between the calculation and experimental data shows that the SI/SC cross section ratios from this work are in good agreement with experimental data. The total single electron ionization cross sections and the total single electron capture cross sections are also given for this collision. The investigation of the partial electron capture cross section shows a general tendency of capture to larger n and l with increasing velocity from 1.2 to 1.9 a.u..     

The theoretical and experimental investigations of Stark structure in sodium Rydberg states atoms

The experimental results of the Stark structure of Na in the vicinity of n~*=21-23 with the external electric field from 0 to 380V/cm are reported. The theoretical calculation of the stark levels of Na based on the atomic potential model are in good agreement with experiment. The limiting error between the theory and experiment turns out to be due to experimental uncertainty.     

Experimental and Theoretical Research on the Vibrational Gaps in Two-Dimensional Three-Component Composite Thin Plates

We investigate the vibrational band gaps in a thin plate of two-dimensional phononic crystals with the locally resonant structure in theory and experiment. The experimental sample is optimized based on the simple analytical model. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical calculation by the finite element method. The findings will be significant for applications of phononic crystals in the field of vibration isolation.     

Infrared Spectroscopic Analysis of Chrysene and 1.2-Benzanthracence in Wax films

Chrysene and 1.2-benzanthracene are successfully doped in a solid wax film and their vibrational spectra in gooo--400cm^-1 are discussed. The harmonic frequencies and relative intensities of both the molecules observed in the film are compared with theoretical values calculated by the density functional theory （DFT） model as well as with the previous experimental data. The effects on spectra due to change of matrix and some additional bands observed in the wax film are also reported. Excellent agreement in the spectral positions and strengths between the experiments and DFT values are found.     

Theoretical analysis on fully differential cross sections for C~(6+)impact ionization of helium

Fully differential cross sections （FDCS） are calculated within a four-body model for single ionization of helium by C6＋ impact at the incident energy of 100 MeV/a.u. （atomic unit）. The results are compared with experimental data and other theoretical predictions. It is shown that our results are in very good agreement with experiment for three small momentum transfers in the scattering plane; however, some significant discrepancies are still present at the largest momentum transfer in both the scattering plane and the perpendicular plane. In actuality, the problem has not been explained by the theory during the last decade. Accordingly, the contributions of different scattering amplitudes to FDCS are analyzed. It is found that for the largest momentum transfer the cross section arising from a destructive interference of the three amplitudes is much smaller than the experimental data. However, the cross section due to the constructive interference of two scattering amplitudes between projectile-ionized electron interaction and projectile-passive electron interaction almost approaches the experimental data.     

Investigations of the dielectronic recombination of phosphorus-like tin at CSRm

The electron–ion recombination for phosphorus-like~(112) Sn~(35+)has been measured at the main cooler storage ring of the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou, China, employing an electron–ion merged-beams technique. The absolute total recombination rate coefficients for electron–ion collision energies from 0 e V–14 e V are presented. Theoretical calculations of recombination rate coefficients were performed using the Flexible Atomic Code to compare with the experimental results. The contributions of dielectronic recombination and trielectronic recombination on the experimental rate coefficients have been identified with the help of the theoretical calculation. The present results show that the trielectronic recombination has a substantial contribution to the measured electron–ion recombination spectrum of~(112)Sn~(35+). Although a reasonable agreement is found between the experimental and theoretical results the precise calculation of the electron–ion recombination rate coefficients for M-shell ions is still challengeable for the current theory.     

Propagation of elastic waves in a plate with rough surfaces

Abstract The characteristics of Lamb wave propagating in a solid plate with rough surfaces are studied on the basis of small perturbation approximation. The Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equation expressed with SA matrix is presented. The Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equation fora rough surface plate is different from that for a smooth surface plate, resulting in a small perturbation Δk on Lamb wave vector k. The imaginary part of Δk gives the attenuation caused by wave scattering. An experiment is designed to test our theoretical predications.By using wedge-shape pipes, different Lamb Wave modes are excited. The signals at different positions are received and analyzed to get the dispersion curves and attenuations of different modes. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical predications.     

High precision wavelength measurements of QED-sensitive forbidden transitions in highly charged argon ions

We present the results of an experimental study of magnetic dipole (M1) transitions in highly charged argon ions (Ar X, Ar XI, Ar XIV, Ar XV) in the visible spectral range using an electron beam ion trap. Their wavelengths were determined with, for highly charged ions, unprecedented accuracy up to the sub-ppm level and compared with theoretical calculations. The QED contributions, calculated in this Letter, are found to be 4 orders of magnitude larger than the experimental error and are absolutely indispensable to bring theory and experiment to a good agreement. This method shows great potential for the study of QED effects in relativistic few-electron systems.

Prominent higher-order contributions to electronic recombination

Intershell higher-order (HO) electronic recombination is reported for highly charged Ar, Fe, and Kr ions, where simultaneous excitation of one K-shell electron and one or two additional L-shell electrons occurs upon resonant capture of a free electron. For the mid-Z region, HO resonance strengths grow unexpectedly strong with decreasing atomic number Z (∝Z(-4)), such that, for Ar ions the 2nd-order overwhelms the 1st-order resonant recombination considerably. The experimental findings are confirmed by multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculations including hitherto neglected excitation pathways.

Theoretical study of the KLL dielectronic recombination for highly charged iodine ions

With a developed program for calculation of dielectronic recombination (DR) process, which is based on multi-configuration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method, the KLL DR processes of the highly charged helium-like to carbon-like iodine ions have been studied systematically. The contributions to doubly excited states from quantum electrodynamic (QED) and Breit effects have been discussed. The KLL DR resonant energies and corresponding resonant strengths have been calculated. The behavior of KLL resonant strengths with increasing Z are analyzed for He-like ions in particular. The theoretical DR spectra for each highly charged ion species are obtained in the KLL region. Comparison has been made between the present calculations and the latest experiments in Tokyo-EBIT.     

Dielectronic recombination at low energy range with Boron-like Ar13+at the CSRm

In order to extend the dielectronic recombination (DR) experiments from the main cooler storage ring CSRm with intermediate charge state ions to the experimental cooler storage ring CSRe with highly charged ions and even radioactive ions, a test electron-ion recombination experiment of B-like Ar¹³⁺ ions was performed with a section of the new electron beam energy detuning system, which will be installed at the CSRe. We present the measured and also the calculated DR spectra for the ∆n = 0 resonances from 0 to 3 eV. The experimental results agree very well with the previous DR experimental data from CRYRING, and the energy resolution reached 30 meV full width at half maximum. This test experiment demonstrates that the reliability and stability of the newly developed electron beam energy detuning system are satisfactory for the upcoming DR experiments at the CSRe. However, we found large discrepancies between the experimental result and the calculation in both resonance positions and the intensities of the recombination spectrum below 0.7 eV, which indicate that precise calculation of the DR spectrum of multielectron ions is still a challenge.     

Polaron effects in resonant Raman scattering

Loudon's resonant Raman scattering theory is reconsidered by including polaron effects in the intermediate electron states. The Fröhlich Hamiltonian is used to derive the polaron propagators. Numerical calculations were carried out for CdS which show that polaron effects produce a large enhancement of the scattered intensity, improving the agreement between theoretical and experimental results.     

Rectification mechanism in diblock oligomer molecular diodes

We investigated a mechanism of rectification in diblock oligomer diode molecules that have recently been synthesized and showed a pronounced asymmetry in the measured I-V spectrum. The observed rectification effect is due to the resonant nature of electron transfer in the system and the localization properties of bound state wave functions of resonant states of the tunneling electron interacting with an asymmetric molecule in an electric field. The asymmetry of the tunneling wave function is enhanced or weakened depending on the polarity of the applied bias. The conceptually new theoretical approach, the Green's function theory of sub-barrier scattering, is able to provide a physically transparent explanation of this rectification effect based on the concept of the bound state spectrum of a tunneling electron. The theory predicts the characteristic features of the I-V spectrum in qualitative agreement with experiment.
