Black-body radiation of noncommutative gauge fields

The black-body radiation is considered in a theory with noncommutative electromagnetic fields; that is noncommutativity is introduced in field space, rather than in real space. A direct implication of the result on cosmic microwave background map is argued.     

In-beam spectroscopy of 253, 254No

In-beam conversion electron spectroscopy experiments have been performed on the transfermium nuclei ^{253, 254}No using the conversion electron spectrometer SACRED in nearly collinear geometry in conjunction with the gas-filled separator RITU at the University of Jyv?skyl?. The experimental setup is discussed and the spectra are compared to Monte Carlo simulations. The implications for the ground-state configuration of ²⁵³No are discussed.

New investigation of the decay of the high-spin isomer in 151Er

The decay of the T _1/2 = 420 ns isomer in ¹⁵¹Er has been reinvestigated. The multipolarities of the decaying transitions have been established by measuring the electron conversion coefficients. An I ^π = 67/2⁻ assignment is proposed for this isomer with a π[h ₁₁^2/4 d ₃^2/1 d ₅^2/−1]⊗ν[f _7/2 h _9/2 h ₁₁^2/−1] configuration.     

Remarks on Exactly Solvable Noncommutative Quantum Field

We study exactly the solvable noncommutative scalar quantum field models of （2n） or （2n ＋ 1） dimensions. By writing out an equivalent action of the noncommutative field, it is shown that the special condition B. 0 = 4-1 in field theoretic context means the full restoration of the maximal U（∞） gauge symmetries broken due to kinetic term. It is further shown that the model can be obtained by dimensional reduction of a 2n-dimensional exactly solvable noncommutative φ4 quantum field model closely related to the 1＋1-dimensional Moyal/matrix-valued nonlinear Schr6dinger （MNLS） equation. The corresponding quantum fundamental commutation relation of the MNLS model is also given explicitly.     

Isomers of astrophysical interest in neutron-deficient nuclei at masses A = 81, 85 and 86

Decay properties of neutron-deficient exotic nuclei close to A=80 have been investigated at the IGISOL facility. The studied nuclei, ⁸¹Y, ⁸¹Sr, ^81mKr, ⁸⁵Nb, ⁸⁵Zr, ⁸⁶Mo and ⁸⁶Nb, were produced by a ³²S beam from the Jyv?skyl? isochronous cyclotron on ⁵⁴Fe and ^natNi targets. The internal conversion coefficient for a 190.5 keV isomeric transition in ^81mKr has been measured and the internal transition rate has been determined. The internal transition rate has been used to estimate a neutrino capture rate on ⁸¹Br, which yields a log ft of 5.13±0.09 for the reaction ⁸¹Br( ν, e ^-)^81mKr. A new isomer with a half-life of 3.3±0.9 s has been observed in ⁸⁵Nb. The existence of an earlier reported isomer with a half-life of 56 s in ⁸⁶Nb has not been confirmed.     

Experimental observation of lattice distortions due to a flux line lattice in niobium

A polarized neutron scattering investigation of the flux line lattice in the type-II superconductor niobium is reported. A modulation of the nuclear lattice has been detected, and the magnitude of the first Fourier component of the lattice distortion established relative to the magnitude of the magnetic scattering. This constitutes the first experimental observation of lattice distortions due to the presence of magnetic flux lines within the bulk of a type-II superconductor. Using a simple microscopic model the lattice distortion in niobium is estimated. A new mechanism is suggested for the coupling of the flux line lattice to the crystallographic lattice. The experimental technique opens up the possibility of investigating the microscopic mechanism of flux line - nuclear lattice interactions, in particular the pinning of flux lines within the bulk of a type-II superconductor.

白光LED用Eu~(2+)离子激活含氮铝酸盐发光粉的制备

采用高温固相反应法制备Sr3Al2O6-3x/2Nx∶Eu2+发光材料。发光光谱分析表明,该材料在400~550nm可见光激发下,发射光谱为峰值波长为600 nm的宽带谱。XRD分析结果显示,Sr3Al2O6-3x/2Nx与Sr3Al2O6的晶体结构相同。研究了Eu2+离子浓度对材料发光性能的影响,结果表明随着Eu2+离子浓度的增加,材料的发光强度呈现出先增强后减弱的趋势,当Eu2+浓度为15%时,发光强度最大。根据Dexter理论,其浓度猝灭机理是电四极-电四极的相互作用。引入Ce3+作为敏化剂,样品的发光强度明显增强。     

Non-Commutative Fock--Darwin System and Magnetic Field Limits

A Fock--Darwin system in noncommutative quantum mechanics is studied. By constructing Heisenberg algebra we obtain the levels on noncommutative space and noncommutative phase space, and give the corrections to the results in usual quantum mechanics. Moreover, to search the difference among the three spaces, the degeneracy is analysed by two ways, the valueof ω/ω_c and certain algebra realization (SU(2)and SU(1,1)), and some interesting properties in the magnetic field limit are exhibited, such as totally different degeneracy and magic number distribution for the given frequency or mass of a system in strong magnetic field.     

Nuclear excitation by electron capture followed by fast x-ray emission

The resonance strength of the two-step process of nuclear excitation by electron capture followed by γ decay of the nucleus can be significantly increased in highly charged ions if the resonant capture proceeds via an excited electronic state with subsequent fast x-ray emission. For fully ionized ²³⁸₉₂U and ²³²₉₀Th, the x-ray decay stabilizes the system against internal conversion of the captured electron, with an increase of both nuclear lifetimes and resonance strengths of up to two orders of magnitude compared with the case when occupied atomic orbitals prevent the x-ray de-excitation. Applications of this effect to the measurement of the not yet experimentally observed nuclear excitation by electron capture and to dense astrophysical plasmas are discussed.     

The area quantum and Snyder space

We show that in the Snyder space the area of the disc and of the sphere can be quantized. It is also shown that the area spectrum of the sphere can be related to the Bekenstein conjecture for the area spectrum of a black hole horizon.
