Radiation effect of neutrons produced by D–D side reactions on a D–3He fusion reactor

One of the most important characteristics in D–³He fusion reactors is neutron production via D–D side reactions. The neutrons can activate structural material, degrading them and ultimately converting them into high-level radioactive waste, while it is really costly and difficult to remove them. The neutrons from a fusion reactor could also be used to make weapons-grade nuclear material, rendering such types of fusion reactors a serious proliferation hazard. A related problem is the presence of radioactive elements such as tritium in D–³He plasma, either as fuel for or as products of the nuclear reactions; substantial quantities of radioactive elements would not only pose a general health risk, but tritium in particular would also be another proliferation hazard. The problems of neutron radiation and radioactive element production are especially interconnected because both would result from the D–D side reaction. Therefore, the presentation approach for reducing neutrons via D–D nuclear side reactions in a D–³He fusion reactor is very important. For doing this research, energy losses and neutron power fraction in D–³He fusion reactors are investigated. Calculations show neutrons produced by the D–D nuclear side reaction could be reduced by changing to a more ³He-rich fuel mixture, but then the bremsstrahlung power loss fraction would increase in the D–³He fusion reactor.     

Antiferromagnetism of nuclear matter in the model with effective Gogny interaction

The possibility of ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase transitions in symmetric nuclear matter is analyzed within the framework of a Fermi liquid theory with effective Gogny interaction. It is shown that, at some critical density, nuclear matter with the D1S effective force undergoes a phase transition to the AFM spin state (opposite directions of neutron and proton spins). The self-consistent equations of spin-polarized nuclear matter with the D1S force have no solutions corresponding to FM spin ordering (the same direction of neutron and proton spins) and, hence, the FM transition does not appear. The AFM spin polarization parameter is found for zero and finite temperature. It is shown that the AFM spin polarization parameter of partially polarized nuclear matter at low enough temperatures increases with temperature. The entropy of the AFM spin state for some temperature range is larger than the entropy of the normal state. Nevertheless, the free energy of the AFM spin state is always less than the free energy of the normal state, and the AFM spin-polarized state is preferable for all temperatures below the critical temperature. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Effect of the nuclear hyperfine field on the 2D electron conductivity in the quantum Hall regime

The effect of the nuclear hyperfine interaction on the dc conductivity of 2D electrons under quantum Hall effect conditions at filling factor ν=1 is observed for the first time. The local hyperfine field enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization is monitored via the Overhauser shift of the 2D conduction electron spin resonance in AlGaAs/GaAs multiquantum-well samples. The experimentally observed change in the dc conductivity resulting from dynamic nuclear polarization is in agreement with a thermal activation model incorporating the Zeeman energy change due to the hyperfine interaction. The relaxation decay time of the dc conductivity is, within experimental error, the same as the relaxation time of the nuclear spin polarization determined from the Overhauser shift. These findings unequivocally establish the nuclear spin origins of the observed conductivity change. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.

“Polarized Fusion”: New Aspects of an Old Project

A few new considerations with respect to energy production by low-energy nuclear fusion reactions will be discussed. A summary of the present status of nuclear fusion is given with emphasis on utilizing spin-polarized particles as fuel. The reactions considered are those concerning the four- and five-nucleon systems and especially the D + D reactions for which the status of the theory and the experimental data are presented. Recent progress has been achieved by microscopic calculations of the D + D reactions. New aspects concern the increased cross sections at very low energies by electron screening as well as the dynamics of the implosion scenario in inertial-fusion pellets with polarized fuel. The need to get more experimental data is pointed out.

在核密度模型基础之上利用原子核密度经验公式得到的核密度和利用电磁半径平方平均值得到的核密度分别计算了轻子 核深度非弹性散射过程中的核效应函数RHe/D(x, Q2), RLi/D(x, Q2), RC/Li(x, Q2), RCa/Li(x, Q2), 发现利用由原子核密度经验公式得到的核密度计算核效应函数所得结果与NMC实验数据符合得较好, 并且优于用后者方法计算核效应函数的理论结果, 从而说明利用原子核密度经验公式研究核子结构函数核效应的合理性。 The nuclear effect functions in l A DIS process RHe/D(x, Q2), RLi/D(x, Q2), RC/Li(x, Q2) and RCa/Li(x, Q2) are calculated on the basis of the nuclear density model by using nuclear densities obtained from an empirical formula or the experimental values of the electromagnetic mean of radius square 〈r2〉, respectively．It is shown that the nuclear effect functions obtained from the empirical formula are in good agreement with the NMC experimental data, and better than the later ones．The empirical formula of the nuclear density can be used to study the nuclear effect of nucleon structure functions reasonably.     

Towards a new Gogny force parameterization: Impact of the neutron matter equation of state

A new parameterization of the effective nucleon–nucleon Gogny interaction is proposed. It reproduces the neutron matter equation of state much better than the commonly used D1S Gogny interaction and furthermore reduces the binding energies' drift for the major part of the isotopic chains. Other important nuclear properties related both to nuclear matter and finite nuclei are studied and shown to be of similar quality as with D1S.

Effect of nuclear motion on molecular high-order harmonics and on generation of attosecond pulses in intense laser pulses

We calculate harmonic spectra and shapes of attosecond-pulse trains using numerical solutions of Non-Born-Oppenheimer time-dependent Shr?dinger equation for 1D H2 molecules in an intense laser pulse. A very strong signature of nuclear motion is seen in the time profiles of high-order harmonics. In general the nuclear motion shortens the part of the attosecond-pulse train originating from the first electron contribution, but it may enhance the second electron contribution for longer pulses. The shape of time profiles of harmonics can thus be used for monitoring the nuclear motion.     

Time-dependent nuclear measurements of mix in inertial confinement fusion

The first time-dependent nuclear measurements of turbulent mix in inertial confinement fusion have been obtained. Implosions of spherical deuterated-plastic shells filled with pure 3He gas require atomic-scale mixing of the shell and gas for the D-3He nuclear reaction to proceed. The time necessary for Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) growth to induce mix delays peak nuclear production time, compared to equivalent capsules filled with a D2-3He mixture, by 75+/-30 ps, equal to half the nuclear burn duration. These observations indicate the likelihood of atomic mix at the tips of core-penetrating RT spikes.     

Determination of the polarization of deuterium atoms following optical orientation

The redistribution of the electronic polarization in deuterium atoms is analyzed theoretically and the various polarization moments are shown to influence the magnetic resonance signal of deuterium. The analysis gives expressions that relate the amplitudes of the magnetic resonance signals for various Zeemann sublevels of the D atom to the electronic and nuclear polarizations of these atoms and their nuclear alignment. Experimental data on the optical orientation and spin exchange in a D-Cs mixture are used to determine the electronic and nuclear orientation and nuclear alignment of the D atoms, which are found to be 〈S _z〉=0.1, 〈I _z〉=0.27, and 〈Q _zz=0.027.

Two-dimensional hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy: powder features for S=1/2, I=1

The lineshapes of two-dimensional magnetic resonance spectra of disordered or partially ordered solids are dominated by ridges of singularities in the frequency plane. The positions of these ridges are described by a branch of mathematics known as catastrophe theory concerning the mapping of one 2D surface onto another. We systematically consider the characteristics of HYSCORE spectra for paramagnetic centers having electron spin S=1/2 and nuclear spin I=1 in terms of singularities using an exact solution of the nuclear spin Hamiltonian. The lineshape characteristics are considered for several general cases: zero nuclear quadrupole coupling; isotropic hyperfine but arbitrary nuclear quadrupole couplings; coincident principal axes for the nuclear hyperfine and quadrupole tensors; and the general case of arbitrary nuclear quadrupole and hyperfine tensors. The patterns of singularities in the HYSCORE spectra are described for each case.

DFT design of polyguanidine – a unique two-dimensional material with high-energy density

We report herein a theoretical prediction and characterisation of a new two-dimensional (2D) material based on energetic polyguanidine. The structure represents a hexagonal type lattice of the P6/m space group. The material is dynamically and mechanically stable. Highly accurate band structure calculation with hybrid functional HSE06 reveals a tiny direct band gap being equal to 0.181 eV. We provide an additional spectral characterisation of the 2D polyguanidine substance including UV-vis, nuclear magnetic resonance and nuclear quadrupolar resonance parameters. The electron transport properties of a 26.6 Å wide polyguanidine ribbon are calculated in terms of tight-binding density functional theory approach. The predicted 2D material is also analysed by means of Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules and the aromatic character of the formed rings is estimated using nucleus-independent chemical shifts quantities.     

Restoration of the broken D2-symmetry in the mean field description of rotating nuclei

Signature effects observed in rotational bands are a consequence of an inherent D2-symmetry. This symmetry is naturally broken by the mean field cranking approximation when a tilted (non-principal) axis orientation of the nuclear spin becomes stable. The possible tunneling forth and back between the two symmetry-related minima in the double-humped potential-energy surface appears as a typical bifurcation of the rotational band. We describe this many-body process in which all nucleons participate by diagonalizing the nuclear Hamiltonian within a selected set of tilted and non-tilted cranking quasiparticle states. This microscopic approach is able to restore the broken D2 symmetry and reproduce the quantum fluctuations between symmetry-related HFB states which emerge as splitting of the band energies and in parallel staggering in intraband M1 transitions.     

The status of “polarized fusion”

After an introduction into the essentials of nuclear fusion reactions, being considered for future energy production in fusion reactors, different aspects of using “polarized” particles as fuel are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the four-nucleon system and the D+D reactions. The status of the theory and the experimental data are presented. Predictions for observables in the framework of existing theoretical approaches are given. The necessity of carrying out direct spin-correlated cross-section measurements is accentuated. Details of a future experiment are proposed.
