Suppression of Gamow-Teller and M1 transitions in deformed mirror nuclei 25Mg and 25Al

The mirror nuclei ²⁵Mg and ²⁵Al are expected to have very similar structures. The Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions from the ground state of ²⁵Mg to the excited states in ²⁵Al were studied by high-resolution measurements of the ²⁵Mg( ) charge-exchange reaction at and at 140 MeV/nucleon. Assuming the usual selection rule for the spin-isospin-type GT transitions, the states with , and 7/2 ⁺ should be excited. However, of the more than ten states with these values below 6 MeV excitation energy, only the 5/2 ⁺ ground state and the 7/2 ⁺ , 1.613 MeV state in ²⁵Al were strongly populated, while all other states were strongly suppressed. The analysis of M1 transitions in ²⁵Mg also suggested a very similar feature for the analogous M1 transitions. Both ²⁵Mg and ²⁵Al are known to be largely deformed, and most low-lying states can be interpreted in terms of one-particle quantum numbers in the deformed potential and the associated rotational spectra. The observed suppression can be explained in terms of the K quantum number selection rules that are inherent to axially deformed nuclei.-1Received: 18 July 2003, Published online: 18 December 2003PACS: 21.10.Re Collective levels - 21.60.Ev Collective models - 25.55.Kr Charge-exchange reactions - 27.30. + t H.

Spins and parities of hole states in25Na and25Mg

Angular distributions of differential cross sections and vector analyzing powers were measured forl=0, 1 and 2 transitions induced by the \(^{26} Mg\left( {\overrightarrow d ,\tau } \right)^{25} Na\) reaction at 52 MeV. The following spins and parities of final states in²⁵Na were deduced:J ^π =1/2⁺ (1.069 MeV), 3/2⁺ (2.202 MeV), 5/2⁺ (2.914 MeV), 1/2^? (3.995 MeV) and 3/2^? (5.190, 5.690, 6.549 and 7.603 MeV). The DWBA analysis of proton and neutron pick-up spectra obtained from a parallel measurement of the²⁶Mg(d, τ)²⁵Na and²⁶Mg(d, t)²⁵Mg reactions allows the identification ofT=3/2 analog states in²⁵Mg. Interpretation in terms of the Nilsson model of energies and spectroscopic factors of the first 1/2^? and 3/2^? hole states observed in proton pick-up reactions from even 1d _5/2- shell nuclei indicates a close correspondence of the final state deformations with those of the first excited 2⁺ states in the target nuclei.     

The structure of25Mg

Gamma-decay modes and spin(-parity) assignments of levels in²⁵Mg have been systematically investigated up to 10 MeV excitation energy by particle-γ-ray angularcorrelation measurements with the²⁴Mg(d, pγ) reaction at 6.5 MeV bombarding energy and with the²²Ne(α,nγ) reaction at 11.8, 12.5, 14.4 and 15.5 MeV bombarding energy. A level scheme has been established which is comprehensive up to 8.3 MeV excitation energy forI≦9/2 and up to 10 MeV for 9/2O d _5/2 — 1s _1/2-O d _3/2 shell and the unifieds-d shell Hamiltonian. The agreement is good to excellent. The first intruder states are located near 6.8 MeV excitation energy. The collective properties of²⁵Mg beyond the well established rotational bands are investigated using both the new experimental information and theB(E2)'s obtained from the shell model. The spectrum of²⁵Mg is completely rotational for the first five to six MeV above the yrast line. Shell modelB (M 1)'s reflect the Nilsson model structure of²⁵Mg in great detail. The prospectiveI ^π=9/2^?, 13/2^?, and 15/2^? members of the established negative-parity,K=1/2 band are found in levels atE _x=7801, 9410, and 8896 keV.     

The24Mg(7Li,t)28Si reaction and change in deformation sign in the middle of the s-d shell

The²⁴Mg⁷Li, t)²⁸Si reaction was studied at bombarding energies of 12, 16, 19 and 20 MeV. Angular distributions of the outgoing tritons were analyzed using FRDWBA calculations. The most interesting results concern the weakness of the transitions to all known members of the K^π = 0⁺ ground state band. On the other hand the 0⁺state at 6.69 MeV is strongly populated. The results are discussed in terms of the SU(3) model. The hindrance in the transitions to the g.s. band of ²⁸Si may be due to the change of the deformation sign from prolate to oblate between²⁴Mg and²⁸Si. The 0⁺state at 6.69 MeV in²⁸Si is then the band head of the prolate band in this nucleus.     

Measurement of the mean lifetimes of low spin states in the superdeformed band in133Nd

The mean lifetimes of the lower spin states of the superdeformed band in¹³³Nd have been measured with the coincidence recoil distance method. The reaction used to populate the band was¹⁰⁵Pd (³²S, 2p2n)¹³³Nd at a beam energy of 152 MeV, and the gamma-rays were detected with the POLYTESSA array. The differential decay curve method was used to analyse the data and transition quadrupole moments,Q ₀, were extracted from the measured lifetimes. The results obtained from the three lowest transitions in the superdeformed band are:Q ₀=6.3±0.9 eb (21+/2→17+/2),Q ₀=6.7±1.1 eb (25+/2→21+/2) andQ ₀>5.0 eb (29+/2→25+/2). These results are consistent with previous results for the high spin members of the band, and are compared to theoretical calculations of total routhian surfaces. The calculation of reduced transition probabilities for the transitions that feed out of the band, allows the effect of hindrance due to K-forbiddenness to be investigated.     

Laser-Induced Fluorescence and Fourier Transform Spectroscopy of NiCl: Identification of a Low-Lying (2)Sigma(+) State (1768 cm(-1))

From a comparison with the spectrum of NiF, a low-lying (2)Sigma(+) state is expected to lie in the first 2000 cm(-1) above the ground X(2)Pi(3/2) state of NiCl. The identification of this (2)Sigma(+) (v = 0) state (at 1768 cm(-1)) has been carried out through the analysis of two electronic transitions (2)Pi(3/2)-(2)Sigma(+) (22 720 cm(-1)) and (2)Pi(1/2)-(2)Sigma(+) (23 210 cm(-1)) recorded by high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy. Dispersed fluorescence spectroscopy allowed these transitions to be located on an absolute energy-level diagram that includes the previously studied electronic states.

Luminescence of Ce and Pr doped Sr2Mg(BO3)2 under VUV-UV and X-ray excitation

This report presents the luminescence properties of Ce³⁺ and Pr³⁺ activated Sr₂Mg(BO₃)₂ under VUV-UV and X-ray excitation. The five excitation bands of crystal field split 5d states are observed at about 46 729, 44 643, 41 667, 38 314 and 29 762 cm⁻¹ (i.e. 214, 224, 240, 261 and 336 nm) for Ce³⁺ in the host lattice. The doublet Ce³⁺ 5d→4f emission bands were found at about 25 840 and 24 096 cm⁻¹ (387 and 415 nm). The influence of doping concentration and temperature on the emission characteristics and the decay time of Ce³⁺ in Sr₂Mg(BO₃)₂ were investigated. For Pr³⁺ doped samples, the lowest 5d excitation band was observed at about 42017 cm⁻¹ (238 nm), a dominant band at around 35714 cm⁻¹ (280 nm) and two shoulder bands were seen in the emission spectra. The excitation and emission spectra of Ce³⁺ and Pr³⁺ were compared and discussed. The X-ray excited luminescence studies show that the light yields are ∼3200±230 and ∼1400±100 photons/MeV of absorbed X-ray energy for the samples Sr_1.86Ce_0.07Na_0.07Mg(BO₃)₂ and Sr_1.82Pr_0.09Na_0.09Mg(BO₃)₂ at RT, respectively.     

Fourier Transform Emission Spectroscopy of CuCl

The electronic spectra of CuCl were observed in the 18 000 cm(-1) to 25 000 cm(-1) spectral region using a Bruker IFS 120 HR Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) and with the FTS associated with the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope at Kitt Peak. On the basis of ab initio calculations, the labels for the electronic states were revised, and the a(3)Sigma(+)(1)-X(1)Sigma(+) 0-0 band, the b(3)Pi(0)-X(1)Sigma(+) 0-0, 1-0, and 0-1 bands, the b(3)Pi(1)-X(1)Sigma(+) 0-0, 1-0, and 0-1 bands, the A(1)Pi-X(1)Sigma(+) 0-0, 1-0, and 0-2 bands, and the B(1)Sigma(+)-X(1)Sigma(+) 0-0 and 1-0 bands were measured. Improved spectroscopic constants were obtained for the excited and ground states. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

Cr和C共掺TiO_2的电子结构和光学性质的研究

利用第一性原理计算,研究了Cr与C共掺锐钛矿型TiO_2的能带的结构,态密度和光学性质.我们构建了两种不等价的Cr与C紧邻共掺体系:CrC_1-TiO_2和CrC_2-TiO_2.CrC_1-TiO_2体系在价带上方出现了主要由C-2p轨道和Cr-3d轨道耦合成的子带.同时,由于姜-泰勒变形效应,Cr-3d轨道的t_(2g)轨道进一步分裂的成Cr-3d_(yz)轨道在导带底形成附加带,有效带隙较纯TiO_2相比变窄了0.84eV.CrC_2-TiO_2体系带隙中有深带隙态存在,由于深间隙态的存在,价带顶到深带隙的能量宽度为0.84eV,电子从价带顶转移到导带底的所需要的能量将大大减小.最后,我们对纯TiO_2和Cr与C紧邻共掺TiO_2的光学特性进行了计算.结果显示Cr与C共掺TiO_2的光学吸收谱都有很好的可见光区域分布,大大提高了太阳光的利用率.     

Rotational analysis of the 7390- and 7937-Å bands of NO2 by means of Fourier transform spectroscopy

We have extended to higher N and to K_a = 3 and 4 the rotational analysis of the 7390-Å band of NO₂ performed by K. E. Hallin and A. J. Merer (Canad. J. Phys.55, 2101–2112 (1977)). The lines belong to a perturbed parallel band for which Hallin and others have proposed the vibrational assignment (2 13 1)-(0 0 0) within the electronic ground state. These authors presumed that this band borrows its intensity through a vibronic coupling (spin-orbit and/or Coriolis coupling) from the stronger (0 2 0)-(0 0 0) band of the $\text{A}\text{?}\text{-}\text{X}\text{?}$ electronic system at 7460 Å. We have observed about 900 transitions belonging to the K_a = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 subbands of the (2 13 1)-(0 0 0) band for N values going up to about 23, and 300 lines of the “hot” band (2 13 1)-(0 1 0). We have also looked for spin-orbit-induced transitions and we have detected about 400 transitions with ΔN ≠ ΔJ. Among them ΔN = ±2 transitions with ΔK_a = 0 or ± 2 have been observed, indicating that N and K_a are no longer good quantum numbers, and demonstrating clearly the existence of rovibronic interactions perturbing the upper levels of the transitions.     

Vibration-rotation transitions in the CF radical, studied by laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 7.8 μm

Several transitions in the vibration-rotation spectrum of the CF radical in its X²Π state have been detected by CO-laser magnetic resonance. In addition to strong resonances for the ²Π_3/2-²Π_3/2 transitions in the fundamental band at 1286 cm⁻¹, weaker “cross” ²Π_3/2-²Π_1/2 and hot band transitions have also been observed. The ¹⁹F nuclear hyperfine splitting is clearly resolved for almost every transition. These observations provide an interesting comparison with the recent study of the same (1, 0) band of CF by diode laser spectroscopy.     

Electronic Spectrum of the Antimony Monoxide Radical

The 0-1 band (4271.3 ?) of the B(2)Sigma(+)-X(2)(2)Pi(3/2) transition, the 0-6 band (4275 ?) of the H(2)Pi(3/2)-X(2)(2)Pi(3/2) transition, the 0-0 band (3776.2 ?) of the B(2)Sigma(+)-X(1)(2)Pi(1/2) transition, and the 2-0 (3251.3 ?) as well as the 3-0 (3194.2 ?) bands of the C(2)Sigma(-)-X(1)(2)Pi(1/2) transition of SbO have been photographed at high resolution using the single isotope of antimony (121)Sb. An unambiguous analysis of the rotational structure of all these bands has been carried out for the first time. The magnitude and sign of the Lambda doubling constant p(0) of the X(1)(2)Pi(1/2) state have been determined and as a result of that, the symmetry of the C state has been uniquely identified as C(2)Sigma(-). Accurate rotational constants of all the states involved have been determined by a global linear least-squares fit. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Rovibrational Intensities of the (00(0)3) <-- (10(0)0) Dyad Absorption Bands of (12)C(16)O(2)

Absolute line intensities of (12)C(16)O(2) are experimentally measured for the first time for the (00(0)3)(I) <-- (10(0)0)(II) band at 5687.17 cm(-1) and the (00(0)3)(I) <-- (10(0)0)(I) band at 5584.39 cm(-1). The spectra were obtained using a Bomem DA8 Fourier transform spectrometer and a 25-m base-path White cell at NASA-Ames Research Center. The rotationless bandstrengths at a temperature of 296 K and the Herman-Wallis parameters are S(0)(vib) = 6.68(30) x 10(-25) cm(-1)/(molecule/cm(2)); A(1) = 1.4(9) x 10(-4), and A(2) = -1.1(5) x 10(-5) for the (00(0)3)(I) <-- (10(0)0)(II) band and S(0)(vib) = 6.07(22) x 10(-25) cm(-1)/(molecule/cm(2)); A(1) = 5.2(1.5) x 10(-4) and A(2) = -4.0(7) x 10(-5) for the (00(0)3)(I) <-- (10(0)0)(I) band.

Direct and indirect optical transitions in Zn3P2

Absorption measurements were made on single crystals of Zn₃P₂ at temperatures of 300, 80 and 5 K, and photo-voltage spectral responses-were measured at 300 K for Au- and In---Zn₃P₂ contacts. Interband absorption was interpreted as a process involving three mechanisms: (1) indirect transitions from the valence band at the Γ point, (2) either excitations from acceptor level to the conduction band at the Γ point, or second indirect transitions associated with the creation of excitons, and (3) band-to-band direct transitions at the Γ point. The effect of the lighting configuration on spectral PV plots is also discussed, and the origin of two peaks of PV responses is interpreted as being in accordance with optical data. The indirect energy gap has been estimated as 1.315eV at 300 K and 1.335 eV at 80 and 5 K, and the direct one as 1.505, 1.645 and 1.685 eV at 300, 80 and 5 K, respectively.     

The b1Sigma+(b0(+)) --> X3Sigma-(X10(+), X21) and a1Delta(a2) --> X21 Transitions of AsI

Emission spectra of the b1Sigma+(b0(+)) --> X3Sigma-(X10(+), X21) and a1Delta(a2) --> X21 transitions of AsI have been measured in the near-infrared spectral region with a Fourier-transform spectrometer. The arsenic iodide radicals were generated and excited in a fast-flow system by reaction of arsenic vapor (Asx) with iodine and microwave-discharged oxygen. The most prominent features in the spectrum are six band sequences of the strong b1Sigma+(b0(+)) --> X3Sigma-(X10(+)) transition in the range 800-900 nm. With much lower intensities the hitherto unknown b1Sigma+(b0(+)) --> X3Sigma-(X21) subsystem and the a1Delta(a2) --> X21 transition near 1660 nm are observed. Vibrational analyses have yielded improved molecular constants for the X10(+) and b0(+) states and first values of the electronic energies and vibrational constants of the X21 and a2 states (in cm-1), X21: Te = 289.8(2), omegae = 255.2(2), omegaexe = 0.68(7), a2: Te = 6305.4(3), omegae = 267.8(1), omegaexe = 0.56(2), where the numbers in parentheses are the standard deviations of the parameters.
