The interaction of Ag with Si(111)

Deposits of Ag on Si(111), at room temperature, have yielded a linear Auger signal-time characteristic to a gradient break point at (7.6 ± 0.9) × 10¹⁴ atoms ofAg cm^?2, which is very close to the Si surface state density of (8–10) × 10¹⁴ cm^?2, and which supports a Stranski-Krastanov growth mechanism. Analysis of the Auger spectra at the monolayer end point revealed a new peak at 82 ± 1 eV. This peak is believed to arise from an Auger process involving an induced Ag-Si interface state. A model is proposed for this state arising from the chemisorption of Ag on Si.     

Flow effects in high-energy nucleus collisions with Ag(Br) in emulsion

Various flow phenomena observed by a unique emulsion method are reviewed. The experimental data of the emission of projectile and target fragments and relativistic particles in collisions of 1–160 A GeV/c ¹⁶O, ²²Ne, ²⁸Si, ³²S, ⁸⁴Kr, ¹⁹⁷Au, and ²⁰⁸Pb nuclei with ¹⁰⁸Ag (⁸⁰Br) targets are investigated. The transverse-momentum approach, the flow-angle analysis using principal vectors, the azimuthal correlation functions, the method of azimuthal correlations between charged secondaries, and the method of Fourier expansion of the azimuthal angle distributions are applied. Evidence of the directed flow of spectators has been obtained in the medium-impact nuclear interactions. In azimuthal distributions, with respect to the reaction plane, the signal of the elliptic flow of participants has been observed.

Growth of Ag on Pb Island with Si(111) Substrate

We study the growth of Ag on Pb island surface with low temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy.Two growth modes,the subsurface island mode and the surface alloy mode,are observed on tie substrate at room temperature and at 100 K,respectively.In the surface alloy mode,the perfect alloy AgPb_2 is formed on the Pb island surface after annealing.The two growth modes at different substrate temperatures are attributed to the existence of an exchange barrier of Ag atoms on the Pb island surface.The modulation of the exchange barrier by the quantum well states is also observed on the Pb island.     

Electric Quadrupole and Magnetic Dipole Moments of Mirror Nuclei and Self-Conjugate Nuclei

A transformation, which brings about the unification of the nuclear collective and single particle models, yields sumrules for the magnetic dipole moments and for the electric quadrupole moments of mirror nuclei. These sumrules are applied to cases, for which the numerical values of these moments are known.     

The 28Si(7Li, 7Be)28Al reaction at 36 MeV

The ²⁸Si(⁷Li, ⁷Be)²⁸Al reaction has been investigated at E_7Li = 36 MeV. States and groups of states were observed up to 5.3 MeV excitation in the ²⁸Al+⁷Be system. Experimental angular distribution for unresolved doublets of states at ≈ 0.0 and 0.44 MeV excitation, corresponding to ⁷Be in its ground state (⁷Be₀) and first excited states (⁷Be₁) with ²⁸Al in its ground state (3⁺) and first excited state (0.031 MeV, 2⁺) are compared with microscopic distorted wave approximation calculations.     

Correlation of Moments and Critical Phenomenon in Disassembly of Hot Nuclei

We used Monte Carlo method to generate the configurations of disassembly of hot nucleus Au* based on the Atomic Mass Table and the conservation of mass and charge number.The resulted charge distribution of fragments was then used to calculate the conditional moments.The logarithm correlation between second and third moments of experimental charge distribution is very well reproduced by theory.It seems that no connection to the critical phenomenon of concerned system exists.     

Surface mass transport of Ag and In on vicinal Si(111)

Mass transport of Ag and In on vicinal Si(111) has been investigated by scanning Auger microscopy (SAM). Highly anisotropic surface diffusion and surface electromigration due to direct current were observed for Ag and In adatoms on 0°−, 0.5°−, 3°− and 6°−off vicinal Si(111) surfaces. The diffusion on the intermediate layer is strongly enhanced in the direction parallel to the step edge for Ag adatoms, while it is remarkably suppressed in the direction perpendicular to the step edge for In adatoms. The activation energy of the diffusion for the Ag adatoms ranged between 0.81 and 1.3 eV, while that for In adatoms increased from 0.31 to 0.66 eV with increasing the vicinal angle. The anisotropic diffusion transport is explained in terms of the step structure and the difference in the binding energy at the step site and the terrace site.     

Electric Dipole Moments of Light Nuclei From Chiral Effective Field Theory

Recent calculations of EDMs of light nuclei in the framework of chiral effective field theory are presented. We argue that they can be written in terms of the leading six low-energy constants encoding CP-violating physics. EDMs of the deuteron, triton, and helion are explicitly given in order to corroborate our claim. An eventual non-zero measurement of these EDMs can be used to disentangle the different sources and strengths of CP-violation.

Ag growth on Si(111) with an Sb surfactant investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy

We have investigated a room-temperature growth mode of ultrathin Ag films on a Si(111) surface with an Sb surfactant using STM in a UHV system. On the Sb-passivated Si surface, small sized islands were formed up to 1.1 ML. Flat Ag islands were dominant at 2.1 ML, coalescing into larger islands at 3.2 ML. Although the initial growth mode of Ag films on the Sb-terminated Si(111) surface was Volmer-Weber (island growth), the films were much more uniform than Ag growth on clean (Si(111) at the higher coverages. From the analysis of STM images of Ag films grown with and without an Sb surfactant, the uniform growth of Ag films using an Sb surfactant appears to be caused by the kinetic effects of Ag on the preadsorbed Sb layer. Our STM results indicated that Sb suppresses the surface diffusion of Ag atoms and increases the Ag-island density. The increased island density is believed to cause coalescence of Ag islands at higher coverages of Ag, resulting in the growth of atomically flat and uniform Ag islands on the Sb surfactant layer.
