128Cs as the best example revealing chiral symmetry breaking

The results of the Doppler-shift attenuation method lifetime measurements in partner bands of 128Cs and 132La are presented. Experimental reduced transition probabilities in 128Cs are compared with theoretical calculations done in the frame of the core-quasiparticle coupling model. The electromagnetic properties, energy and spin of levels belonging to the partner bands show that 128Cs is the best known example revealing the chiral symmetry breaking phenomenon.     

Lifetime measurements in chiral nucleus 130Cs

The level lifetimes in partner bands of 130Cs have been measured using the Doppler Shift Attenuation method. The high-spin states of 130Cs were populated via fusion evaporation reaction 124Sn(11B,5n)130Cs at a beam energy of 65 MeV. The absolute M1 and E2 transition probabilities have been deduced. The results indicate that the partner bands of 130Cs manifest the chiral properties.

Bond contraction in monolayers: 2d-hexagonal Cs

The first ab-initio all-electron theoretical/computational study of the energetics of a hexagonal Cs monolayer reveals that the CsCs nearest neighbor distance in the monolayer is reduced by about 11% compared with the corresponding distance in bulk Cs. This finding is in excellent agreement with measurements of the packing density of a hexagonal Cs overlayer on a W(110) surface. Model calculations show that this contraction is related to the formation of bands and the polarizability of the Cs 5p semi-core states.     

On pair-absorption in intrinsic vapours

The bound-state pair-absorption bands Cs(6² S _1/2)+Cs(6² S _1/2)+h v→Cs(5² D _5/2,3/2) +Cs(6² P _1/2) and the K — K continuum-state pair-absorptions in the wavelength region 2,350≦λ≦2,850 Å have been investigated experimentally. In the case of the bound-state pair-absorption bands a theoretical approach for the absorption cross section at the band centre is given which is in good agreement with the experimental observation. Differences between our and the theoretical formulas given by the Stanford group are discussed.     

Electronic structure of ultrathin Cs coatings on a Si(100)2×1 surface

The electronic structure and ionization energy of submonolayer Cs coatings on a Si(100)2×1 surface is investigated by threshold photo-emission spectroscopy. Two surface bands induced by Cs adsorption are observed, and their evolution is studied as a function of coverage. It is found that there are two “adsorption locations” for Cs atoms, where they interact with active dangling bonds at the surface. It has been determined that the Cs/Si(100)2×1 interface is semiconducting all the way down to monolayer coverage. The results show that Cs adsorption is predominantly of a covalent character.

A=130区缺中子核122Cs与134Ce高自旋态研究

通过重离子核反应与在束γ谱的实验技术,对A=130缺中子核区122Cs与134Ce核的高自旋态进行了研究,所用核反应分别为107Ag(19F,1p3n)与122Sn(16O,4n).实验结果扩展了122Cs与134Ce的能级纲图.在122Cs中发现可能是属于手征二重带的结构,而在134Ce核的高自旋态结构中呈现出重要的具有不同γ形变的形状共存特性.Through heavy ion nuclear reaction and in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy technique, the high spin states of neutron-deficient~(122)Cs and~(134)Ce nuclei in A=130 region have been studied. The~(107)Ag(~(19)F, 1p3n) and~(122)Sn(~(16)O, 4n) reactions were used. The previous level schemes of~(122)Cs and~(134)Ce have been extended. Possible chiral doublet bands in~(122)Cs have been observed and a shape coexistence with different γ values in~(134)Ce are suggested.     

Cesium-filled single wall carbon nanotubes as conducting nanowires: scanning tunneling spectroscopy study

Metal-filled single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are examined for possible application to conducting wires in nanoelectronics architecture. The local electronic structure of SWCNTs partially filled with cesium atoms is studied with scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The conduction and valence bands are shifted downward with two localized states in the gap at the location where the Cs atoms are filled. From a first-principles calculation, we confirm that these two gap states are bound states originating from the two lowest conduction bands.     

Superdeformation in lead nuclei

For the first time, collective bands have been observed in the doubly-odd nucleus¹²⁴Cs. They are proposed to result in the coupling of an h_11/2 proton to h_11/2 and positive parity neutrons. The relative residual protonneutron interaction in¹²⁴Cs is calculated and compared to that of neighbouring odd-odd nuclei.     

Emission bands of the CsXe molecular system

After pumping P levels of the Cs atoms in a Xe atmosphere using a pulsed dye laser, several emission bands were observed (spectral range: 3500–6400 Å). An attempt was made to associate the bands with electronic transitions in the CsXe molecule.     

The electronic properties of the Cs/GaAs(100) interface and the formation of metastable Cs clusters

The method of threshold photoemission spectroscopy is used to investigate the electronic properties of the ultrafine gallium-enriched Cs/GaAs(100) interface. The rearrangement of the spectrum of surface photo-emission as a function of Cs coating, as well as the temperature dependence of the spectrum, enable one to identify two phases of adsorption with strong (Cs-Ga) and weak (Cs-Cs) bonds. In the first phase of adsorption with the coating of approximately 0.3 monolayers, two surface bands are detected which are due to the local interaction of cesium adatoms with gallium dimers. It is found that the transition from the first to the second phase of adsorption occurs with the Cs coating of approximately 0.7 monolayers, which corresponds to the saturation of all dangling bonds of gallium on the gallium-enriched GaAs(100) surface. In the second phase of adsorption with the coating of more than 0.7 monolayers, a number of additional photoemission singularities are observed in the spectra, whose emergence is associated with the formation of metastable Cs formations. Photoemission peaks at 1.9 and 2.17 eV may be associated with the excitation of quasi-two-and/or quasi-three-dimensional Cs clusters, and the peaks at 2.05, 2.4, and 2.78 eV may be associated with the excitation of an interface plasmon and of surface and bulk Cs plasmons, respectively.     

Surface states and accumulation nanolayer induced by Ba and Cs adsorption on the n-GaN(0 0 0 1) surface

The Ba and Cs adsorption on the n-GaN(0 0 0 1) surface has been studied in situ by the threshold photoemission spectroscopy using s- and p-polarized light excitation. Two surface bands induced by Ba (Cs) adsorption are revealed in surface photoemission spectra below the Fermi level. The surface-Fermi level position is found to be changed from significantly below the conduction band minimum (CBM) at clean n-GaN surface to high above the CBM at Ba, Cs/n-GaN interfaces, with the transition from depletion to electron accumulation occurring at low coverages. Photoemission from the accumulation nanolayer is found to excite by visible light in the transparency region of GaN. Appearance of an oscillation structure in threshold photoemission spectra of the Ba, Cs/n-GaN interfaces with existing the accumulation layer is found to originate from Fabry–Perot interference in the transparency region of GaN.     

125Cs的能级结构

通过116Cd(14N,5n),Ebeam=65MeV的核反应布居了125Cs的高自旋态.利用在束γ谱学实验方法,进行了γ-γ符合测量,使已知的125Cs核能级纲图得到了扩展,并且修正了某些组态的带头激发能.High-spin states in odd-A nucleus~(125)Cs have been studied via the~(116)Cd(~(14)N, 5n) reaction at 65 MeV bombarding energy. γ-γ coincidences were recorded with the NORDBALL detector array at Niels Bohr Institute in Denmark. After careful data analysis, most of the previously-known bands have been confirmed and 5 new rotational sequences have been identified. Spin/parity and configuration assignments are tentatively proposed for all of the observed bands. In addition, the bandheads of the 9/2~(+)and (1/2~...

Excited states of ¹²⁴Cs have been studied by means of in beam γ-ray technique via the reaction ¹⁰⁹Ag(¹⁹F,p3n).Based on the observation of the high spin bands and their decay to the ground state,a level scheme of ¹²⁴Cs has been established.     

Chiral doublet structures in odd-odd n = 75 isotones: chiral vibrations

New sideband partners of the yrast bands built on the pi(h11/2)nu(h11/2) configuration were identified in 55Cs, 57La, and 61Pm N = 75 isotones of 134Pr. These bands form with 134Pr unique doublet-band systematics suggesting a common basis. Aplanar solutions of 3D tilted axis cranking calculations for triaxial shapes define left- and right-handed chiral systems out of the three angular momenta provided by the valence particles and the core rotation, which leads to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and the doublet bands. Small energy differences between the doublet bands suggest collective chiral vibrations.     

基于HI-13串列加速器在束γ终端原子核激发态寿命测量的核结构研究

利用在HI-13串列加速器的在束γ终端上建立的多普勒线移衰减法、反冲距离多普勒线移法和快时间延迟符合法等3种寿命测量方法,开展了原子核手征对称性、磁转动等核结构热点课题的研究工作。实验结果表明,130Cs的伙伴带具有很好的手征特性,而106Ag的候选带并非手征双带。根据测量的能级寿命提取的B（M1）值表明,106Ag的正宇称晕带和107Ag的正、负宇称晕带都具有典型的磁转动特性。此外,寿命测量数据还为解释和理解不同的同位素链中展现出的形状演化、形状共存、形状相变及临界点对称性等物理现象提供了有价值的实验证据。 The significance and principle of lifetime measurements of excited states in nuclei are briefly described. By using the recoil-distance Doppler-shift method, the Doppler-shift attenuation method, and the fast-timing technique established at the in-beam γ terminal of HI-13 tandem accelerator, nuclear structure studies on topical subjects including chiral symmetries and magnetic rotation have been performed. Our experimental results indicate that 130Cs shows better chiral characteristics, however, the two candidate bands of 106Ag could not be a pair of chiral doublet bands. For magnetic rotation, the deduced B(M1) values deduced from the measured level lifetimes clearly demonstrate that the yrast positive-parity band in 106Ag and both the yrast positiveand negative-parity bands in 107Ag are magnetic rotation bands. In addition, our lifetime measurement data also provide valuable experimental evidences for the interpretation and understanding of the shape evolution, the shape coexistence, and the critical-point symmetries of shape phase transition in the different isotope chains.     

Description of Chiral Doublet Bands in Odd-Odd Cs Isotopes

Properties of the chair doublet bands of the odd-odd Cs isotopes built on the πh11/2× vh11/2 configuration are investigated systematically within the supersymmetry scheme including many-body interactions and possessing the SO（5）（or SU（5）） symmetry on the rotational symmetry. Quantitatively good results of the energy spectra, the energy staggering parameter as a function of the spin are obtained. The calculation shows that the stronger competition between the pairing and anti-pairing effects and the SU（3） symmetry broking more seriously exist in the stable chiral structure.     

Radiative Auger effect in heavy atoms

Electronic properties and compton profiles of silver iodide

We have carried out an extensive study of electronic properties of silver iodide in β- and γ-phases. The theoretical Compton profiles, energy bands, density of states and anisotropies in momentum densities are computed using density functional theories. We have also employed full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method to derive the energy bands and the density of states. To compare our theoretical data, isotropic Compton profile measurement on γ-AgI using ¹³⁷Cs Compton spectrometer at an intermediate resolution of 0.38 a.u. has been undertaken. The theoretical anisotropies are also interpreted on the basis of energy bands.
