Radiation-stimulated changes in the transmission of chalcogenide glasses of As2S3−Ge2S3

The radiative-optical properties of chalcogenide glass-like semiconductors of the As₂S₂−Ge₂S₃ system in the region of a topological 2D-3D-phase transition are investigated. It is shown that γ-irradiation of samples by an absorbed dose of 4.4 · 10⁶ Gy leads to a longwave shift of their optical-transmission edge in the spectrum. The effect observed depends on the structural type of the glasses investigated and changes considerably near the 2D-3D-phase transition. Two components of the transmission-edge shift are detected: a static component, which remains unchanged for a long time after irradiation of the samples, and a dynamic one, which gradually fades in 2–3 months. It is suggested that the microstructural mechanism of these changes is attributable to processes of coordination defect formation in the structural skeleton of the samples.

Assignment of Isodoublet of 2^3S1 Meson Nonet

Inserting the masses of some states, which have been established in theexperiments or the theory of lattice QCD, we investigate the mass of theisodoublet of the 2³S₁ meson nonet. The agreement results, 1567±22.6MeV and 1576.8MeV, are given by two different approaches. We suggest that the assignment of 2³S₁ meson nonet should be re-examined in future experiments.     

Abnormal Suppression of Vector-Tensor Decays of ψ(2S)

The hadronic decays ψ(2S)→ρα₂ and K^*0K₂^*0+c.c. have been studied in a sample of 3.6×10⁶ ψ(2S) events.Measurements of their branching fractions are presented.Both channels violate the “15% rule” predicted by perturbative QCD compared with the corresponding J/ψ decays.These results serve as new examples of abnormal suppression of ψ(2S) decays into vector-tensor final states that was first observed in ψ(2S)→ωf₂     

Theory of the 2S–2P Lamb shift and 2S hyperfine splitting in muonic hydrogen

The 7σ$7\sigma$ discrepancy between the proton rms charge radius from muonic hydrogen and the CODATA-2010 value from hydrogen spectroscopy and electron-scattering has caused considerable discussions. Here, we review the theory of the 2S–2P Lamb shift and 2S hyperfine splitting in muonic hydrogen combining the published contributions and theoretical approaches. The prediction of these quantities is necessary for the determination of both proton charge and Zemach radii from the two 2S–2P transition frequencies measured in muonic hydrogen; see Pohl et al. (2010) [9] and Antognini et al. (2013) [71].     

Molecular dynamics simulation of sulphur nucleation in S–H2S system

The mechanism of sulphur nucleation in S–H₂S system is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation with the ReaxFF reactive force field. The results indicate that the nucleation of sulphur requires certain conditions. The nucleus of sulphur will form once the allotropes of sulphur dissolve from polysulphanes. Separate sulphur atoms aggregate into the cluster in the initial stage of nucleation according to the snowball effect. The cluster of nucleation is judged by the average distance of the neighbour sulphur atoms, which is identified as 2.8 Å through a parametric study. The sustainable process of nucleation depends on whether the cluster can overcome its critical state. The formation of the cluster may accelerate its own nucleation/coalescence and H₂S decomposition.

Flat Currents of Green-Schwarz Superstring in AdS2 × S2 Background

From the κ symmetric action of ⅡB string in AdS2 × S2 background given by Zhou, we derive the equations of motion. By using the twisted dual transformation which was introduced by Hou, we construct the flat currents, conserving non-local charge with one free parameter, for the superstring in AdS2 × S2.

Observation of the Molecular Quenching of μp(2S) Atoms

Kinetic energy distributions of muonic hydrogen atoms μp(1S) have been obtained by means of a time-of-flight technique for hydrogen gas pressures between 4 and 64 hPa. A high energy component of ∼900 eV observed in the data is interpreted as the signature of long-lived μp(2S) atoms, which are quenched in a non-radiative process leading to the observed high energy: the collision of a thermalized μp(2S) atom with a hydrogen molecule H₂ results in the resonant formation of a {[(ppμ)⁺]^*pee}^* molecule. Then the (ppμ)⁺ complex undergoes Coulomb de-excitation and the ∼1.9 keV excitation energy is shared between a μp(1S) atom and one proton. The preliminary analysis of the time spectra gives a long-lived μp(2S) population of ∼1% of all stopped muons, and a quenching rate of ∼4⋅10¹¹ s⁻¹. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

SiO2凝胶玻璃中联吡啶S2→S0S辐射跃迁

联吡啶以分子水平掺入SiO2凝胶玻璃中，显示出独特的光谱性质。其发射光谱除了正常的S1→S0跃迁产生的中心位于400nm的发射峰外，还出现了中心位于454nm的激基缔合物发射峰。经200℃处理后，联吡啶分子受Si-O网络刚性约束，激基缔合发射峰消失，出现了基于S2→S0辐射跃迁产生的325nm高能级发射峰。至550℃处理后，因联吡啶分子基本进入Si-O三维网络的间隙，发射光谱中只剩下振动结构明显的高能级荧光峰。上述结果为表征有机／无机复合材料微结构演变提供了荧光探针工具。     

Twisted Duality Symmetry and Integrability of Hybrid Superstring on AdS2×S2

In this paper, we show that there exists a twisted duality symmetry between the Maurer-Cartan equations and the equations of motion in the hybrid formalism for the type IIB superstring in an AdS₂×S² background with Ramond-Ramond flux. As a result, from the twisted duality transformation, we construct the Lax connection with the spectral parameter, which ensures the integrability of the system.     

Rotational spectra and internal dynamics of Ne—H2S

Rotational spectra of 15 isotopomers of the Ne-H₂S van der Waals complex were measured in the frequency range 4–22 GHz using a pulsed molecular beam Fourier transform spectrometer. Two K = 0 progressions were observed for each of the symmetric isotopomers (with H₂S or D₂S). This doubling is attributed to an internal rotation motion of the H₂S subunit within the complex. These two states can be correlated with the 0₀₀ and 1₀₁ rotational states of free H₂S and D₂S. By contrast, symmetry constraints no longer apply to isotopomers with DHS. The excited internal rotor state is no longer metastable, and only one K = 0 progression could be observed. The rotational constants obtained were compared with those of Ar-H₂S and Ar—H₂O. The ground state rotational constant remained almost constant upon substitution of H with D, showing an unusual isotope effect, similarly to a previous observation in Ar-H₂S (GUTOWSKY, H. S., EMILSSON, T., and ARUNAN, E., 1997, J. chem. Phys., 106, 5309). This behaviour is in agreement with the ab initio study by OLIVEIRA, G. D., and DYKSTRA, C. E., 1999, J. chem. Phys., 110, 289. An approximate substitution analysis was carried out to deduce structural information from the ground state rotational constants. Nuclear quadrupole hyperfine structures were observed and resolved or partially resolved for isotopomers containing ³³S and D, respectively, and the corresponding nuclear quadrupole coupling constants were determined. These were used to derive information about the internal dynamics of the dimer. Different sensitivities of the quadrupole coupling constants of D and ³³S to the extent of out-of-plane motion were revealed.     

Electronic Properties of Red P-Type Tl2S5 Single Crystals

Single crystals of red Tl2S5 were prepared by a special modified vertical Bridgman and Stockbarger technique.This growth was performed in our laboratory. The influences of temperature on the electrical conductivity, Hall mobility, carrier concentration, and thermoelectric power (TEP) were carried out in the temperature range 277-413K. Throughout these measurements, various physical parameters such as effective mass of charge carriers,carrier mobility, diffusion coefficient, and the relaxation time for both majority and minority carriers were found.     

Controlled crystallization of β-In2S3 in 65GeS2⋅25In2S3⋅10CsCl chalcohalide glass

65GeS₂?25In₂S₃?10CsCl chalcohalide glass-ceramics containing β-In₂S₃ crystallites in the glassy matrix were prepared by traditional melt-quenching and subsequent heat-treatment at a fairly low temperature (T _g +10 ^°C) for different durations. The transmission spectra show that the cut-off edge of short wavelength is red-shifted with the prolongation of annealing time, but remains an excellent transmittance in the mid-IR region. Meanwhile, its crystallization behavior was investigated systematically. The results show that the precipitation of β-In₂S₃ crystal phase is responsible for the first crystallization peak, and the second crystal phase is GeS₂, which precipitated in the interior after a heat treatment at a high temperature (T _g +70 ^°C). Furthermore, the crystallization mechanism was investigated using the non-isothermal method. The crystallization rate constant K value of 6.08×10^?4 s^?1 at 346 ^°C for the β-In₂S₃ phase is about three times larger than that of the GeS₂ phase, indicating a much easier crystallization mechanism of β-In₂S₃ phase. Therefore, it is easy to control the precipitation of sole β-In₂S₃ crystallite, and to avoid interference of the second crystal phase GeS₂.     

The mass of the isodoublet of the 2^1S0 meson nonet revisited

In the qq quark model, the states π（1300）, η（1295） and η（1475） are assigned as the 2^1S0 meson nonet. The mass of the isodoublet remains interesting and needs further confirmation in experiments. This paper employs the phenomenological trajectory on the （N, M^2）-plot and meson meson mixing methods to calculate the mass of this state, the calculated results are 1341 MeV and 1311.58 ± 59 MeV respectively. These predictions can be compared with experiments in the future.[第一段]     

The microwave spectrum of the pyramidal isomer of disulfur difluoride: SSF2

The pyramidal isomer of disulfur difluoride, SSF₂, has been prepared by passing gaseous disulfur dichloride through heated potassium fluoride. The microwave spectra of three isotopic species of SSF₂ have been measured in the 26- to 76-GHz frequency region. For the most abundant isotopic species transitions with J values up to 79 have been observed. These data have been combined with previous measurements of low-J lines by R. L. Kuczkowski [J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 86, 3617–3621 (1964)] and fit to obtain values for the rotational constants and centrifugal distortion constants. The quartic centrifugal distortion constants have been used together with existing vibrational data to determine an harmonic force field for the molecule. Finally, ground state average and equilibrium structures have been calculated for SSF₂.     

Effect of Electron Itineracy on Magnetism of S ＝ 1/2 Ferromagnetic Ising Model

The effect of electron itineracy on the magnetism of S＝1/2 ferromagnetic Ising model is investigated by introducing a hopping term. The electron Green's function method is used to deal with this Hamiltonian. Here emphasis is made on that the magnetization is caused by the difference between the filling of spin-up and spin-down electrons.This concept is in accordance with that of band structure theory. In the zero band width limit, our results are the same as obtained by spin Green's function method. However, our method achieves more detailed physical information. The spontaneous magnetization, Curie temperature, total energy, and specific heat are calculated and investigated in detail by the densities of states. Hopping term depresses the Curie temperature but remains the order-disorder transformation still to be second order transition. Above the transition point, the energy band is the same as that of tight binding system because exchange interaction has no effect anymore. While under the transition point, the energy band splits into two subbands due to exchange interaction.     

The extended S1/S0 conical intersection seam for the photochemical 2 + 2 cycloaddition of two ethylene molecules

The extended S₁/S₀ conical intersection seam for the photochemical 2_s?+?2_s, 2_s?+?2_a and 2_a?+?2_a cycloadditions of two ethylene molecules has been documented using the methodology described by Sicilia et al. (J. Chem. Theory Comput. 4, 257 (2008)). Two additional critical points on this prototype crossing seam were found as a result, although both lie more than 100?kcal?mol^?1 above the rhomboidal crossing located previously, and are not minima in the intersection space. Using VB theory, the branching space conditions for the conical intersection can be derived analytically, in fair agreement with calculated CASSCF results. Woodward–Hoffmann symmetry forbidden and allowed reactions are associated with the same extended conical intersection seam in this case.
