Emission intensity modulation of radio-frequency helium glow-discharge emission source by laser ablation.

A novel emission excitation source comprising a high repetition rate diode-pumped Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and a Grimm-style glow-discharge lamp is described. Laser-ablated atoms are introduced into the He glow discharge plasma, which then give emission signals. By using phase-sensitive detection with a lock-in amplifier, the emission signal modulated by the pulsed laser can be detected selectively. It is possible to estimate only the emission intensity of sample atoms ablated by laser irradiation with little interference from the other species in the plasma.

Comparison of the background corrected valence band XPS spectra of Fe and Co aluminides and silicides with their electronic structures

The background corrected valence band XPS spectra and the electronic structures of FeAl, FeSi, CoAl and CoSi were studied. Clean surfaces of the polycrystalline samples were obtained by in situ fracturing of the samples in an XPS spectrometer. The energy loss parts of the Fe 2p, Co 2p and valence band spectra were removed by the deconvolution method using Al 2s or Si 2s spectra as response functions. CoAl exhibited a satellite peak in the Co 2p region, but the other compounds had no clear satellite peaks in the Co 2p and Fe 2p regions. The experimentally background corrected valence band spectra were compared with the calculated spectra using the first-principle band calculation. There were large discrepancies between the spectra above the binding energy of 5 eV. These indicated that the experimental spectra could not be explained by the electronic structures of the ground states alone.     

Production of Nuclear Polarization of Na Isotopes at ISAC/TRIUMF and its Hyperfine Interaction

Hyperfine interactions of Na isotopes in single crystals have been studied using highly nuclear polarized ^{20,21,26,27,28}Na beams provided by ISAC/TRIUMF. The degree of polarization kept in the crystals, the spin-lattice relaxation times, the electric quadrupole coupling constants and the initial distribution of the populations were measured. Such knowledge is indispensable for the application of the hyperfine interactions in the study of precision measurements such as the nuclear structure through nuclear moments and the fundamental symmetries.     

Hyperfine interactions of beta emitter12B and12N in Mg crystal

Nuclear dipolar brondening in the NMR spectra of beta-emitting¹²B and¹²N implanted in single crystal Mg with h.c.p. structure was studied as function of orientation of the crystal axes relative to the external magnetic field. The implanted¹²N was located in interstitial trigonal site. The surrounding Mg atoms nearest to the¹²N were displaced from the regular lattice position, and lattice expansion δa/a=0.15 was determined.

Magnetic moment of beta-emitting41Sc(Iπ=7/2−) and knight shift in Pt metal

The nuclear magnetic moment of⁴¹Sc(I^π=7/2⁻, T_l/2=0.59sec) was remeasured, and the precision of the value was improved about 10 times compared with the previously known one. The value was determined to be |μ(⁴¹Sc;I^π=7/2)|=(5.4305±0.0018) nm. Comparing the value with the previously known NMR of the nuclei in Pt, the knight shift, K=−(0.4±5.3)·10⁻⁴ was determined.     

Production of unstable nuclei far from the stability line: its scope and limitations

Recent improvements in isotope separators can be utilized along with the availability of a wide range of nuclear species from the heavy-ion fragmentation process to study hyperfine interactions. We have measured the magnetic moments of mirror nuclei using this method at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory's Bevalac heavy-ion accelerator. We present the merits, applicability and limitations of the technique.     

Comparison of intrinsic zero-energy loss and Shirley-type background corrected profiles of XPS spectra for quantitative surface analysis: Study of Cr, Mn and Fe oxides

The intrinsic zero-energy loss profiles of transition metal 2p and 3p XPS spectra for Cr, Mn, and Fe oxides are obtained by spectral deconvolution and compared with Shirley-type background corrected profiles. The metal core level spectra are deconvoluted by O 1s spectra as the response function of each oxide. As the O 1s spectra include intrinsic and extrinsic energy loss parts, the background corrected core level spectra are zero-energy loss spectra. The good agreement of the deconvoluted spectra with the reported spectra obtained by the many body effect theory indicates that the background subtraction method is accurate. A comparison of the deconvoluted with the background corrected spectra of the Shirely-type subtraction reveals that almost all the spectra coincide with each other except for Fe 3p with -Fe₂O₃. The good coincidence of the Shirley-type corrected spectra with the deconvoluted and calculated spectra indicates that Shirley-type background correction can be used for daily quantitative surface analysis.
