Neutron-deuteron scattering calculation for evaluated neutron data libraries

In the low-energy regime, differential cross sections for n + d elastic scattering are not well described in existing nuclear data libraries, such as ENDF/B-VII.0. Supporting experimental data in this energy region are old, sparse and often inconsistent. We have carried out calculations with the AGS three-body theory and the Bonn-B nucleon-nucleon potential at energies 50?keV to 10.0?MeV.     

Relativistic calculation of atomic X-ray transition rates

The fully relativistic transition probabilities in atomic X-ray emission are calculated for a wide range of selected elements of the periodic table, fromZ=21 toZ=93. The treatment includes the effect of the retardation of the radiation field. The atomic model used is the self-consistent relativistic Hartree-Fock, with the Slater approximation for the exchange term. The formulas for EL and ML multipole transition rates are derived, and transition rates are calculated for all transitions to theK-shell,L-subshells, andM-subshells. The contributions of all multipoles, as determined by the angular momentum and parity selection rules, are included in the present work. The calculated values of (Kα ₂/Kα ₁), (Kβ ₁/Kα ₁), (Kβ ₃/Kβ ₁) and (Kβ ₂ Kβ ₁) transition rates are in good agreement with the available experimental data. Rates for the forbidden (M1) 2s _1/2→1s _1/2 transitions are also presented.     

Measurement of K-shell fluorescence yields for Br and I compounds using radioisotope XRF

Dependence of K-shell fluorescence yields on multiplet states of neon

The K-shell fluorescence yields are calculated to be equal to 0.013 and 0.028 respectively for ³P and ¹P multiplet states of 1s¹ 2s² 2p⁵ configuration of neon. This observation can significantly effect analyses of ion-atom collision experiments where in X-ray production cross-sections are measured.

Density functional calculation of K-shell spectra of small molecules

Both ΔE_KS and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods, with approximations for the singlet–triplet splitting and for the relativistic corrections, were tested for the calculation of K-shell spectra of Ne, HF, H₂O, NH₃, CH₄, and CO. Results from several exchange-correlation functionals as well as diffuse basis sets were compared with available experimental data. Excellent core excitation and core-electron ionization energies for Ne, HF, H₂O, NH₃, CH₄, and CO can be obtained from ΔE with Perdew–Wang 1986 exchange and Perdew–Wang 1991 correlation functionals; and reasonable intensities for singlet excitations, from TD-DFT with exchange-correlation potential known as statistical average of orbital potentials. The dependence of the quality of ΔE on basis set is as expected: excitations to higher Rydberg levels requiring more diffuse functions. However, the oscillator strength seems to be more sensitive to the quality of the basis set. Suggestions are made for extending the procedure to larger systems.     

Calculation of X-ray and Auger transition rates, lifetimes, X-ray wavelengths, and fluorescence yields of variously ionized silicon atoms

X-ray and Auger transition rates, X-ray wavelengths, and fluorescence yields are calculated for variously ionized silicon atoms with configurations 1s2s^m2pⁿ, m=0-2, n=1-6. The calculation has been performed using the Hartree-Fock atomic model. Intermediate coupling and configuration interaction have been taken into account. The energies and widths are found to be strongly affected by configuration mixing. The results from the present calculation have been compared with those available in the literature. The theoretical K_α hypersatellite and satellite spectra fall into several well-separated regions, corresponding to each of the possible number of spectator electrons in the 2s and 2p shells. The dependence of radiative rates and fluorescence yields on the number of spectator electrons is also investigated.     

K-shell X-ray production for fluorine ions on target elements Ti to La

The production of target atomK-shell X-rays has been studied for 2 to 28 MeV fluorine ions incident on thin solid targets of 14 elements with atomic numbers Z₂=22 to 57. Total X-ray production cross sections, energy shifts ofK _α andK _β lines andK _α/K _β intensity ratios were measured with a Si(Li) detector. The results of cross section measurements are compared with theoretical predictions of inner shell ionization. In most cases, satisfactory agreement between measured cross sections and theoretical Coulomb ionization cross sections, corrected for the perturbation of the target atom by the projectile charge and for relativistic effects, was obtained.

Measurement of vacancy transfer probability from K to L shell using K-shell fluorescence yields

The vacancy transfer probabilities from K to L shell through radiative decay, η _KL, have been deduced for the elements in the range 19 ≤ Z ≤ 58 using K-shell fluorescence yields. The targets were irradiated with γ photons at 59.5 keV from a 75mCi ²⁴¹Am annular source. The K X-rays from different targets were detected with a high resolution Si(Li) detector. The measurement of vacancy transfer probabilities are least-squared fitted to second-order polynomials to obtain analytical relations that represent these probabilities as a function of atomic number. The obtained results agree with theoretical and fitted values.

The calculation of transition probabilities for atomic oxygen

In this contribution we present scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) investigations on isolated cobalt clusters in contact with Ge(001). Mass-filtered nanoparticles with diameters ranging from 3 to 11 nm are generated using an arc cluster ion source (ACIS) and deposited under soft landing conditions (E_kin/atom < 0.5 eV). Since the tip radius is of the same order as the nanoparticle diameters the recorded STM images are significantly affected by tip folding. By means of the “blind reconstruction method" it is possible to approximate the tip shape. After a respective deconvolution of the image structural features of the particle facets become observable. According to the equilibrium shape of the clusters being a truncated octahedron in the size range under investigation, hexagonal and rectangular features appear in the images. STS is sensitive to occupied and unoccupied states near the Fermi level and reveals the existence of distinct states in the tunnelling conductivity of the substrate as well as on the clusters. The richly structured density of states of the germanium surface serves here as tip condition test. First measurements of the tunnelling conductivity of the Co_N/Ge(001) are presented and discussed.     

Precision determination of high-Z K-shell fluorescence yields from195Au,207Bi,and235Np decays

A new method utilizing a cooled, high resolution, windowless Si(Li) x-ray and Auger electron detector has been developed for the accurate measurement of high-Z K-shell fluorescence yields. With this method, values of theK-fluorescence yield ω _k have been determined with high accuracy atZ=78, 82, and 92 from the radioactive decay of carrier-free¹⁹⁵Au,²⁰⁷Bi, and²³⁵Np, respectively. The values of ω _k are 0.968±0.008, 0.972±0.008, and 0.970±0.005, respectively where the error limits represent 95% confidence. In addition, relativeK-Auger electron group intensities atZ=92 were measured and found to be(K-LL)∶(K-LX)∶(K-XY)=100∶(65.2±6.0)∶ (8.1±0.8). The experimental results for ω _k are compared with the relativistic calculations of Bhalla, Ramsdale and, Rosner, and satisfactory agreement is found.     

利用时间分辨 Ar的K壳层发射光谱诊断内爆靶丸芯区电子温度的时间演化过程

在神光Ⅱ装置上的内爆实验中,通过在充氘气（D2）的靶丸中掺入氩（Ar）元素,利用晶体谱仪配条纹相机测量得到了内爆停滞阶段Ar 的K壳层发射光谱随时间的变化。在实验中,观测到Ar的Heα,Heβ以及Lyα线发射,持续时间大约200 ps。用Heα线与Lyα线强度比值来推断靶丸芯区电子温度。利用碰撞辐射模型,从理论上计算出Heα线与Lyα线强度比值随电子温度、数密度的变化。通过将实验上观测到的Heα线与Lyα线强度比与理论计算值相比较,获得了芯区电子温度随时间的演化。并计算比较了不同电子密度条件下推断出来的电子温度的差异,证明诊断电子温度的方法对电子数密度的变化不敏感。利用逃逸因子修正了自吸收效应,从计算的结果可以看出在目前的实验中Heα线和Lyα线是光学薄的。
