Precise measurement of the magnetic moment of17F(I x =5/2+,T 1/2=64.5 s) and its hyperfine interactions in ionic crystals

Hyperfine interactions of β-emitting¹⁷F implanted in single crystals of NaF and CaF₂ were studied. The nuclear magnetic moment of theT ^π=5/2⁺ state was determined with an improved precision to be |μ(¹⁷F;π=5/2⁺,T _1/2=64.5s|=4.72130±0.00025. nm. Isoscalar magnetic moments of the doubly closed shell ±1 nucleon nuclei around mass number 16 were derived and the effective nucleon mass in the nucleus was discussed.     

Quadrupole interaction of8Li and9Li in LiNbO3 and the quadrupole moment of9Li

The quadrupole interaction of nuclear spin polarized⁸Li (I=2) and⁹Li (I=3/2) in LiNbO₃ has been studied at room temperature. The polarization was achieved by optical pumping of a fast atomic beam with circularly polarized laser light. The atoms were implanted into a hexagonal LiNbO₃ single crystal and the quadrupole splitting ofβ-NMR spectra was measured. A ratio of ¦Q(⁹Li)/Q(⁸Li)¦=0.88(4) for the nuclear quadrupole moments was deduced, yielding a new value of ¦Q(⁹Li)¦=25.3 (9) mb for the quadrupole moment of⁹Li.     

Sodium ion ordering and vacancy cluster formation in NaxCoO2 (x=0.71 and 0.84) single crystals by synchrotron X-Ray diffraction

In the rich phase diagram of NaxCoO2, x=0.71 enjoys special stability and is called the Curie-Weiss metal due to its anomalous properties. Similarly, x=0.84 prepared from high temperature melt is a special end point beyond which the system phase separates. Using synchrotron x-ray diffraction on single crystals, we discovered sqrt[12]a and sqrt[13]a superlattice structures which we interpret as the ordering of Na (vacancy) clusters. These results lead to a picture of coexisting local moments and itinerant carriers and form the first step towards understanding the many anomalous properties of cobaltates.     

Phase transitions in [NH(CH3)3]2MeCl4 (Me = Cd,Zn,Cu) crystals

Dielectric properties of the new [NH(CH₃)₃]₂ZnCl₄ and [NH(CH₃)₃]₂CdCl₄ crystals from the [(CH₃) _n NH_4-n ]₂MeCl₄ group have been investigated in a wide temperature range (4.2–320 K). A series of phase transitions has been discovered at T₃ = 325 K,T₄ = 251 K,T₅ = 193 K, for [NH(CH₃)₃]₂CdCl₄ and at T₃ = 309 K, T₄ = 282 K, T₅ = 269 K for [NH(CH₃)₃]₂ZnCl₄. A ferroelectric phase has been discovered in the temperature interval T₄—T₅ from the temperature and frequency dependence of the dielectric permittivity ε(T, v). According to optical investigations the existence of ferroelastic phases in the temperature interval T₁ = 349 K–T₂ = 391 K and below T₅ for [NH(CH₃)₃]₂CdCl₄ and both above T₃ and below T₅ for [NH(CH₃)₃]₂ZnCl₄ has been ascertained.

Measurement of the (199)Hg+ 5d9 6s2 (2)D(5/2) electric quadrupole moment and a constraint on the quadrupole shift

The electric-quadrupole moment of the (199)Hg+ 5d9 6s2 (2)D(5/2) state is measured to be theta(D,5/2) = -2.29(8) x 10(-40) C m2. This value was determined by measuring the frequency of the (199)Hg+ 5d10 6s (2)S(1/2) --> 5d9 6s2 (2)D(5/2) optical clock transition for different applied electric-field gradients. An isolated, mechanically stable optical cavity provides a frequency reference for the measurement. We compare the results with theoretical calculations and discuss the implications for the accuracy of an atomic clock based upon this transition. We now expect that the frequency shift caused by the interaction of the quadrupole moment with stray electric-field gradients will not limit the accuracy of the Hg+ optical clock at the 10(-18) level.     

Physical properties of quaternary compounds Gd2CoAl4T2 (T= Si,Ge) single crystals

We have synthesized and investigated physical properties of two new quaternary compounds Gd₂CoAl₄T₂ (T= Si, Ge) single crystals, which are isostructural to Tb₂NiAl₄Ge₂ and Er₂CoAl₄Ge₂. The most important structural feature of these materials is the anti-CaF₂-type CoAl₄T₂ slabs. These materials show metallic behavior below 300 K and there is a long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition appearing at 20 and 27 K for Gd₂CoAl₄Ge₂ and Gd₂CoAl₄Si₂, respectively. Resistivity and heat capacity measurements also confirm these bulk AFM transitions. Further analysis indicates that this long-range antiferromagnetism should result from the magnetic interaction between local moments of Gd³⁺ ions.     

H NMR study of YT2-hydride (T = Fe, Mn)

In the hydrides YMn₂H_3.0, the nuclear magnetic resonance of ¹H nuclei has been measured under external fields up to 50 kOe at 4.2 K and three ¹H NMR signals have been observed. The ¹H hyperfine fields corresponding to these NMR signals can be discussed in terms of the dipole interaction between the H nuclei and the localized moments of the Mn(or Fe) atoms surrounding H atoms.     

The alpha decay study of223Th (T 1/2=0.6 s)

Correlations between neutrons have been studied in the 96 MeV¹⁸O +⁶⁴Ni reaction, yielding the compound nucleus⁸²Kr at 88 MeV excitation energy. The observed anticorrelation at small relative momenta evidences dominance of quantum-statistical interference between identical particles, from which it is possible to deduce an average source lifetimeτ=(1.2±0.1)·10^?20 s as an upper limit disregarding possible contributions to the correlation function from the competingnn final-state interaction. Lacking appropriate model calculations at present, it is argued that further refinements in the theoretical treatment of strong interactions in the final state are needed to enable truly quantitative conclusions from small-angle nucleon-nucleon correlations at such large timescales.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (magic angle spinning) spectra of ⁷Li, ²⁷Al, ⁸⁷Rb, and ¹³³Cs nuclei are measured in Li₂ M ₃Al(MoO₄)₄ triple molybdates (M = Rb, Cs) for the first time. Analysis of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra reveal considerable asymmetry in the distribution of the electric charge throughout the crystal lattices of the compounds.

Theγ spectra emitted in the decay of¹²²Xe and¹²²I have been investigated using Ge(Li) detectors and a Ge(Li)-NaI coincidence apparatus. 14γ transitions with energies between 61.8 and 416.9 keV have been identified in the decay of¹²²Xe, 44 transitions between 564.0 and 3,291.0 keV in the decay of¹²²I. Level schemes having 7 excited levels for¹²²I and 21 excited levels for¹²²Te are proposed.

Mass relations among charmed and uncharmed baryons belonging to20 and20′ multiplets of SU(4) are derived in the framework of SU(8) symmetry, Spin singlet mass breaking interaction is found to give unsatisfactory results. Second order effects and spin triplet mass breaking interactions are studied to improve the situation.

Relativistic electron correlation, quantum electrodynamics, and the lifetime of the 1s(2)2s(2)2p2p0(3/2) level in boronlike argon

The lifetime of the Ar13+ 1s(2)2s(2)2p2p0(3/2) metastable level was determined at the Heidelberg Electron Beam Ion Trap to be 9.573(4)(5). The accuracy level of one per thousand makes this measurement sensitive to quantum electrodynamic effects like the electron anomalous magnetic moment (EAMM) and to relativistic electron-electron correlation effects like the frequency-dependent Breit interaction. Theoretical predictions, adjusted for the EAMM, cluster about a lifetime that is approximately shorter than our experimental result.     

Robust superconductivity and transport properties in (Li1-xFex)OHFeSe single crystals

The recently discovered (Li_1-xFe_x)OHFeSe superconductor with T_c about 40 K provides a good platform for investigating the magnetization and electrical transport properties of FeSe-based superconductors. By using a hydrothermal ion-exchange method, we have successfully grown crystals of (Li_1-xFe_x)OHFeSe. X-ray diffraction on the sample shows the single crystalline PbO-type structure with the c-axis preferential orientation. Magnetic susceptibility and resistive measurements show an onset superconducting transition at around T_c=38.3 K. Using the magnetization hysteresis loops and Bean critical state model, a large critical current J_s is observed in low temperature region. The critical current density is suppressed exponentially with increasing magnetic field. Temperature dependencies of resistivity under various currents and fields are measured, revealing a robust superconducting current density and bulk superconductivity.
