Superheavy elements have been synthesized and chemically
characterized one-atom-at-a-time up to element 108. Presently, the quest for
identification and investigation of element 112 is one of the hottest topics
in this field. The transactinide elements 104 to 108 are members of group 4
to 8 of the periodic table and element 112 belongs into group 12. For some
of these elements detailed chemical properties have been revealed which show
stunning deviations from simple extrapolations within their respective group
while others exhibit great similarities with their lighter homologues. All
presently known chemical properties of seaborgium (Sg, element 106) — the
heaviest element whose behavior was investigated in aqueous solution — and
hassium (Hs, element 108) were obtained in experiments performed at the GSI
in large international collaborations. Recently, the highly efficient and
very clean separation of Hs was applied for nuclear studies of various Hs
nuclides investigating their cross section and their nuclear decay
properties in the region of the N=162 neutron shell. To overcome certain
limitations of the presently used on-line chemical separations the new
TransActinide Separator and Chemistry
Apparatus (TASCA) — with a gas-filled recoil separator as
a front-end tool — was designed and built at the GSI in a collaborative
effort. Presently in its commissioning phase, TASCA shall be a key
instrument for a big leap into quantitatively and qualitatively new
experiments in the region of superheavy elements. 相似文献

Under special circumstances, electromagnetic and weak interactions can induce low-energy nuclear reactions to occur with observable
rates for a variety of processes. A common element in all these applications is that the electromagnetic energy stored in
many relatively slow-moving electrons can — under appropriate circumstances — be collectively transferred into fewer, much
faster electrons with energies sufficient for the latter to combine with protons (or deuterons, if present) to produce neutrons
via weak interactions. The produced neutrons can then initiate low-energy nuclear reactions through further nuclear transmutations.
The aim of this paper is to extend and enlarge upon various examples analysed previously, present order of magnitude estimates
for each and to illuminate a common unifying theme amongst all of them. 相似文献

Top-contact organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) of pentacene have been fabricated on bare SiO2 and SiO2 modified with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS). The pentacene films were deposited from a supersonic
molecular beam source with kinetic energy of incident molecules ranging from 1.5 to 6.7 eV. The field-effect mobility of OTFTs
was found to increase systematically with increasing kinetic energy of the molecular beam. The improvements are more important
on HMDS- and OTS-treated surfaces than on bare SiO2. Tapping mode atomic force microscopy images reveal that pentacene thin films deposited at high kinetic energy form with
significantly larger grains—independent of surface treatment—than films deposited using low-energy beams. 相似文献

Fragments of relativistic 750 A.MeV U-projectiles were investigated by using the fragment separator FRS for magnetic selection
of reaction products including ray-tracing and ΔE-ToF techniques. For elements between Ge and Sb, measurements of isotopic
yield distributions and velocities revealed three processes: fragmentation, low-energy fission, and high-energy fission. The
last of these regimes is presently reported. First and second moments of distributions of mass numbers, atomic numbers and
velocities of the corresponding fragments allowed us to identify 101
43Tc56 as the most probable fragment of a high energy symmetric fission reaction. Moreover, we could deduce a hypothetical mean
fissioning fragmentation product 208Rn and its highly excited pre-fragmentation parent 227Ra produced in a primary abrasion reaction at an excitation energy of about 290 MeV.

At the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI, Villigen, Switzerland) a new high-intensity muon beam line with momentum p < 40 MeV/c is currently being commissioned. The beam line is especially designed to serve the needs of the low-energy, polarized
positive muon source (LE-μ+) and LE-μ SR spectrometer at PSI. The beam line replaces the existing μ E4 muon decay channel. A large acceptance is accomplished
by installing two solenoidal magnetic lenses close to the muon production target E that is hit by the 590-MeV PSI proton beam.
The muons are then transported by standard large aperture quadrupoles and bending magnets to the experiment. Several slit
systems and an electrostatic separator allow the control of beam shape, momentum spread, and to reduce the background due
to beam positrons or electrons. Particle intensities of up to 3.5 × 108 μ+/s and 107 μ−/s are expected at 28 MeV/c beam momentum and 1.8 mA proton beam current. This will translate into a LE-μ+ rate of 7,000/s being available at the LE-μ SR spectrometer, thus achieving μ+ fluxes, that are comparable to standard μ SR facilities. 相似文献

Summary This is a rapporteur paper for the XXIV International Cosmic-Ray Conference covering topics of anomalous cosmic rays, shock
acceleration, modulation and transport theory, cosmic-ray gradients, corotating interaction regions, coronal-mass ejections,
and solar neutrinos. Among the highlights of the meeting are —conclusive proof that most anomalous cosmic rays are singly
charged,—undisputed detection of anomalous cosmic-ray hydrogen,—discovery of unexpectedly large anisotropies of pickup ions,—observation
of pronounced solar rotational modulation of cosmic-ray fluxes to the highest heliolatitudes (∼80°) probed by the Ulysses
spacecraft, and—new measurements of modulation effects sensitive to particle charge sign.

In anomaly-free quantum field theories the integrand in the bosonic functional integral—the exponential of the effective action
after integrating out fermions—is often defined only up to a phase without an additional choice. We term this choice ``setting
the quantum integrand'. In the low-energy approximation to M-theory the E8-model for the C-field allows us to set the quantum integrand using geometric index theory. We derive mathematical results of independent
interest about pfaffians of Dirac operators in 8k+3 dimensions, both on closed manifolds and manifolds with boundary. These theorems are used to set the quantum integrand
of M-theory for closed manifolds and for compact manifolds with either temporal (global) or spatial (local) boundary conditions.
In particular, we show that M-theory makes sense on arbitrary 11-manifolds with spatial boundary, generalizing the construction
of heterotic M-theory on cylinders.

Evolution of vacancy defects in the surface layers of a metal irradiated with a pulsed electron beam
The distribution of vacancy defects in the surface layers of α-Fe after irradiation with a high-current pulsed electron beam is studied experimentally by unique nuclear-physical methods
— low-energy positron annihilation, Rutherford backscattering (RBS), and proton-induced x-ray emission (PIXE). Regions with
low local density, which are sources of crater formation on the surface of the irradiated sample, are observed by scanning
a proton microbeam. Positron lifetime measurements reveal that as the electron beam power increases, nonequilibrium vacancies
tend to be captured by carbon impurity atoms.

Summary The FIGARO II (French Italian Gamma-Ray Observatory) experiment has been launched successfully three times: in July 1986 from
Milo (Trapani), in November 1988 from Charleville (Australia) and in July 1990 again from Milo. In the first flight the observational
program was limited to the Crab pulsar PSR0531+21 only because of a telemetry failure: the high sensitivity of FIGARO II allowed
an accurate study of the pulse shape as well as a phase-resolved spectroscopy. It was also possible to evaluate the dispersion
measure of the Crab pulsar at the flight date from the time delay between gamma-ray and radio pulses. The major results of
the second flight were a stringent upper limit to the low-energy gamma-ray flux from PSR 0833-45 (Vela pulsar)—well below
the detection claimed by the UCR group —and the observation of a strong emission in the 0.511 MeV annihilation line from the
inner region of our Galaxy. The data acquired in the third flight are still under analysis, but preliminary results suggest
changes in the shape of the pulse profile.

We reconsider the procedure
developed for atoms a few decades ago by Girardeau, in the light of
the composite-boson many-body theory we recently proposed. The
Girardeau's procedure makes use of a so called “unitary Fock-Tani
operator” which in an exact way transforms one composite bound
atom into one bosonic “ideal” atom. When used to transform the
Hamiltonian of interacting atoms, this operator generates an extremely
complex set of effective scatterings between ideal bosonic atoms and free
fermions which makes the transformed Hamiltonian impossible to write
explicitly, in this way forcing to some truncation. The scatterings
restricted to the ideal-atom subspace are shown to read rather simply in
terms of the two elementary scatterings of the composite-boson many-body
theory, namely, the energy-like direct interaction scatterings
— which describe fermion interactions without fermion exchange — and
the dimensionless Pauli scatterings — which describe fermion exchanges
without fermion interaction. We here show
that, due to a fundamental difference in the scalar products of
elementary and composite bosons, the Hamiltonian expectation
value for N ground state atoms
obtained by staying in the ideal-atom subspace and working
with boson operators only, differ from the exact ones even for N = 2 and
a mapping to the ideal-atom subspace performed, as advocated, from
the fully antisymmetrical atomic state, i.e., the state which obeys the
so-called “subsidiary condition”. This shows that, within this
Girardeau's procedure too, we cannot completely forget the underlying
fermionic components of the particles if we want to correctly describe
their interactions. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to show how the diagrammatic expansion
in fermion exchanges of scalar products of N-composite-boson
(“coboson”) states can be obtained in a practical way. The hard
algebra on which this expansion is based, will be given in an independent publication.
Due to the composite nature of the particles, the scalar products
of N-coboson states do not reduce to a set of Kronecker symbols, as
for elementary bosons, but contain subtle exchange terms between two or
more cobosons. These terms originate from Pauli exclusion between the
fermionic components of the particles. While our many-body
theory for composite bosons leads to write these scalar products as
complicated sums of products of “Pauli scatterings” between
two cobosons, they in fact correspond to fermion exchanges
between any number P of quantum particles, with
2 ≤P≤N. These P-body exchanges are nicely represented by the
so-called “Shiva diagrams”, which are topologically different from
Feynman diagrams, due to the intrinsic many-body nature of the Pauli
exclusion from which they originate. These Shiva diagrams in fact
constitute the novel part of our composite-exciton many-body theory
which was up to now missing to get its full
diagrammatic representation. Using them, we can now “see” through
diagrams the physics of any quantity in which enters N interacting
excitons — or more generally N composite bosons —, with fermion
exchanges included in an
exact — and transparent — way. 相似文献

We study the property of certain complex networks of being both sparse and
highly connected, which is known as “good expansion” (GE). A network has
GE properties if every subset S of nodes (up to 50% of the nodes) has a
neighborhood that is larger than some “expansion factor” φ
multiplied by the number of nodes in S. Using a graph spectral method we
introduce here a new parameter measuring the good expansion character of a
network. By means of this parameter we are able to classify 51 real-world
complex networks — technological, biological, informational, biological and
social — as GENs or non-GENs. Combining GE properties and node degree
distribution (DD) we classify these complex networks in four different
groups, which have different resilience to intentional attacks against their
nodes. The simultaneous existence of GE properties and uniform degree
distribution contribute significantly to the robustness in complex networks.
These features appear solely in 14% of the 51 real-world networks studied
here. At the other extreme we find that ∼40% of all networks are
very vulnerable to targeted attacks. They lack GE properties, display skewed
DD — exponential or power-law — and their topologies are changed more
dramatically by targeted attacks directed at bottlenecks than by the removal
of network hubs. 相似文献

Control over the wettability of solids and manufacturing of functional surfaces with special hydrophobic and self-cleaning
properties has aroused great interest because of its significance for a vast range of applications in daily life, industry
and agriculture. We report here a simple method for preparing stable superhydrophobic surfaces by irradiating silicon (Si)
wafers with femtosecond (fs) laser pulses and subsequently coating them with chloroalkylsilane monolayers. It is possible,
by varying the laser pulse fluence on the surface, to achieve control of the wetting properties through a systematic and reproducible
variation of roughness at micro- and nano-scale which mimics both the topology of the “model” superhydrophobic surface—the
natural lotus leaf—, as well as its wetting response. Water droplets can move along these irradiated superhydrophobic surfaces,
under the action of small gravitational forces, and experience subsequent immobilization, induced by surface tension gradients.
These results demonstrate the potential of manipulating liquid motion through selective laser patterning. 相似文献

A hybrid master oscillator–power amplifier (hybrid MOPA) scheme is proposed as a microlithography light source. The seed pulses
are generated in the visible spectral range—where the necessary spectral purity is more easily achieved—and after frequency
conversion are amplified in an excimer amplifier. The new concept enables us to decrease the bandwidth considerably, approaching
the theoretical limit posed by the uncertainty relation. The feasibility of the new approach is demonstrated by a dye/excimer
MOPA system, generating deep ultraviolet DUV (248-nm) pulses of 0.2-pm bandwidth. 相似文献

We investigate the electronic structure of bulk
Sr2CoMoO6-δ double perovskites using the
ab initio Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave
method in order to study their magnetic properties
within the GGA and GGA+U methods. We discuss the relative stability of ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) orders
(i) without and with
taking into account the observed tilting of the oxygen octahedra
and (ii) by introducing oxygen vacancies. We show that a very good agreement with experimental results — AFM order for δ=
0 and FM order for δ= 1/2 — is obtained only when the tilting of the oxygen tetrahedra
is taking into account and when the GGA+U method is used. 相似文献

High pressure experimental studies show that in certain mesogenic materials, the nematic-smectic A (N-Sm A) transition temperature
TAN exhibits nonlinear pressure dependence. As a consequence, the material
shows reentrant phenomena that is a phase sequence nematic — smectic A — reentrant nematic appears. The
characteristic features of this phenomenon have been addressed here within
the framework of Landau-de-Gennes theory, where the coupling between nematic
and smectic A order parameters (γ, λeff) plays an important role. The cubic coupling γ is chosen to be negative in order to form Sm A phase whereas the biquadratic
coupling λeff is made large and positive to obtain reentrant behaviour. In the present work, we incorporate the pressure dependence in
the theory through γ and λeff which justifies the experimental pressure dependence in the reentrant transition temperature
. The pressure dependence of γ and λeff are employed in the calculation of excess specific heat capacity near the reentrant transition. The computed heat capacity
shows strong pressure dependence near the reentrant transition which
can be confirmed from high pressure measurement. 相似文献

An improved ab initio calculation has been performed for the potential for the LiH a 3Σ+ state, using two very large basis sets. The Basis Set Superposition Error (BSSE) correction has been determined for both
basis sets and the non-Born-Oppenheimer correction estimated to be negligible. The best potential is approximately 10% deeper
than the previous estimate. Vibrational energies and scattering lengths have been calculated for 6,7LiH(D) with both potentials, with and without the BSSE correction, and also with an estimated potential expected to bracket
the true potential. The 7LiH scattering length is estimated to be (45 ± 4)a0 and hence the low-energy cross-section in the best a 3Σ+ potential is about half that calculated previously. Enhanced cooling by 7Li of trapped H atoms remains feasible.

Recent advances in film synthesis have made it possible to investigate the properties of well-controlled interfaces in perovskite
metal-oxides. A review of published experimental data and computational results indicate that so far most interfaces that
have been analyzed in ferroelectric materials—while necessary to impose large lattice strain on the polar material—contribute
little to the ferroelectricity and may instead be detrimental to the desired properties. In contrast, a very different situation
arises at interfaces that show changes in the electronic configuration as a consequence of a compositional discontinuity.
Data is shown for LaMnO3/SrTiO3 superlattices as an example of electronic effects that produce enhanced properties, further illustrating the richness of
interfacial properties that can be obtained at interfaces (as shown in numerous published results for different but related
interfaces). 相似文献

Recent experimental results concerning interaction cross-sections ( σI) are reviewed. The σI values were measured by a transmission method using the fragment separator at GSI. The σI values for B, C, N, O and F isotopes and the recently measured σI for Ar are presented. As related topics, an analysis by the recently developed Glauber model for a few-body system is introduced.
By using this analysis, the effective density distributions for light neutron-rich nuclei can be deduced. The recently shown
magic number N = 16 near to the neutron drip line is also discussed.
