本文报导了合成109号元素的实验。用能量为4.95,5.05和5.15MeV/u 的~(58)Fe 束轰击~(209)Bi 靶,研究了全熔合产物衰变模式的特性。总辐照剂量为7×10~(17)粒子。所用的实验方法是:用静电场速度过滤器在飞行过程中分离向前方向成峰的反应产物,经过飞行时间装置后注入到位置灵敏固态探测器中,测量其动能,估算出质量、入射的时间和位置。以所有的出射粒子的能量和时间来记录很有限的反应产物发生级联α粒子和(或)自发裂变的继发衰变。在5.15 MeV/u 时的一个特别的衰变过程是:在5ms 和22ms 先分别发射两个α粒子,最后,在13s 后发生自发裂变。第一个α粒子的动能为11.10±0.04MeV。对各种可能的解释进行了详细的分析,例如纯属偶然的信号相关,转移反应产物的衰变和从能量上看允许的余核蒸发等。最后表明质量数为266的109号元素的同位素、即全熔合后的单中子蒸发道、从统计的观点看是最好的指定。本文同时也讨论了合成新元素的前景。

ADS注入器Ⅱ热冲击损伤研究(英文)

由于束流脉冲无法控制而引起直线加速器的热冲击损伤是造成加速器无法完成聚束及偏转的主要因素,而对热冲击进行定量的热应力评估可以有效地避免RFQ、超导腔以及其他加速元件等加速器设备的损伤,这在研制强流直线加速器的过程中至关重要。本研究引用一种新颖的计算方法定量分析整个注入器的热冲击损伤并明确了三种不同材料高纯铌、无氧铜和不锈钢对应的加速器件的热冲击的特征。基于有限元方法对瞬态热应力进行分析,得出三种不同材料对应的加速器件在入射角度为90度时的温度分析结果。对于所研制的注入能量低于10 MeV的强流直线加速器来讲,得到可允许的入射时间为20μs。

溶液除湿的空气调节方式中,液体干燥剂的性质决定了除湿的效果、除湿所需的代价.关于液体干燥剂的各种热力学性质,有较多的研究结果,但这些结果不能直接反映各种干燥剂的差别.本文考虑了一种较为理想的除湿循环,将文献中干燥剂的物性数据用于除湿循环,通过除湿能力、除湿容量、除湿代价等评价指标分析,研究了三种常用液体干燥剂的性能.这种基于除湿循环分析液体干燥剂的方法,对于干燥剂的研制和选用具有一定的指导作用.     

蛇红外视觉灵敏性的神经学机理

红外视觉作为大自然赋予蛇类的"第六感",一直是激发生物学家及工程师们探索兴趣的一个焦点所在.在红外视觉的工作机制研究方面,比较普遍的观点是将其归结为这样的过程,即蛇利用猎物发射的红外辐射的热效应,将猎物温度信号转换为自身感官上的温度变化信号,继而激发自身神经作出响应.本文从传热学的角度出发,对这种理论进行了质疑,并试图从红外辐射的另一个本质特性─光学激励出发,结合经典的H-H神经响应模型对蛇的红外视觉进行分析.研究表明,蛇在物体温度为30.93℃的情况下可以达到的温度分辨率为0.19℃,该结果与现有实验比较吻合.     

在电场教学中巧用科学类比

静电场知识是静电学的核心,静电场知识的教学,在物理电学中有着重要的启领作用．面对新的刺激情境,主体能够利用已有的认知结构将刺激整合到自己的认知结构中,这就是同化；如果主体不能利用原有图式接受或解释刺激,其认知结构将由于刺激的影响而发生改变,这就是顺应．显然,个体在知识的学习过程中,顺应要比同化付出更多的努力．

Effect ofγ-radiation on the spectral luminescence characteristics of impure cadmium tungstate crystals

Results of a study of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of cadmium tungstate crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations are presented. Spectral characteristics of the nondnnnoped crystals are briefly described. Absorption and photo and X-ray luminescence spectra of the crystals taken before and after exposure to γ-radiation (5.5·10⁴ Gy) are compared. It is found that the spectral characteristics of the crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations do not change markedly after the exposure. The relation between the type of impurity-induced defects, individual characteristics of the impurity cations, and the character of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of impure crystals is analyzed (preliminarily).

Analysis of Laser-generated Rayleigh wave on viscoelastic materials

In order to understand the viscoelasticity of material, this research has been conducted to study the propagation characteristics of viscoelastic Rayleigh wave theoretically. A model is presented for the pulsed laser generation of ultrasound on viscoelastic medium surface. Referred to the Kelvin model, the frequency equation and the normal displacement of viscoelastic Rayleigh wave were derived, the influence of the viscoelastic modulus on dispersion and attenuation was discussed. From the theoretical calculation, it is shown that the effect of viscoelasticity on the attenuation of Rayleigh wave is more than that on its dispersion. In the case of a weak viscosity, the attenuation of viscoelastic Rayleigh wave is directly proportional to viscosity modulus; the effect of shear viscosity on the attenuation is much more than that of bulk viscosity. The transient response of viscoelastic Rayleigh wave was also simulated using Laplace and Hankel inversion transform, which are showed in good agreement with the theoretic predictions. The model provides a useful tool for the determination of viscoelastic parameters of medium.     

Dynamics of a waveguide pulsed-periodic CO2 laser with loss modulation

The nonlinear dynamics of a waveguide CO₂ laser with combined periodic loss and pumping modulation is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The possibilities of controlling time and energy parameters of the output radiation using the corresponding selection of the detuning of the cavity's longitudinal mode from the center of the amplification line, the amplitude, and the frequency of loss modulation are demonstrated. The observed asymmetric dependence of the lasing-radiation density on the detuning of the cavity frequency is explained by the attendant modulation of the refractive index of the loss modulator.

Optical Pulse Compression Schemes That Use Nonlinear Bragg Gratings

Nonlinear optical pulse compression of picosecond pulses typically requires long lengths of optical fiber and multiple components. Periodic structures, such as fiber Bragg gratings, are highly dispersive at wavelengths outside of the photonic bandgap. This implies that such gratings can be used as very short all-fiber compressors. In this paper a number of such compression schemes are reviewed involving uniform and nonuniform fiber Bragg gratings, relying on both soliton and nonsoliton compression principles. Experimental results supporting the corresponding underlying theory are also presented. Finally, an extension of one of the compression schemes is shown, which allows the generation of adjustable high-repetition rate soliton trains.     

Study on the radiation problem caused by electron beam loss in accelerator tubes

The beam dynamic code PARMELA was used to simulate the transportation process of accelerating electrons in S-band SW linacs with different energies of 2.5, 6 and 20 MeV. The results indicated that in the ideal condition, the percentage of electron beam loss was 50% in accelerator tubes. Also we calculated the spectrum, the location and angular distribution of the lost electrons. Calculation performed by Monte Carlo code MCNP demonstrated that the radiation distribution of lost electrons was nearly uniform along the tube axis, the angular distributions of the radiation dose rates of the three tubes were similar, and the highest leaking dose was at the angle of 160° with respect to the axis. The lower the energy of the accelerator, the higher the radiation relative leakage. For the 2.5 MeV accelerator, the maximum dose rate reached 5% of the main dose and the one on the head of the electron gun was 1%, both of which did not meet the eligible protection requirement for accelerators. We adopted different shielding designs for different accelerators. The simulated result showed that the shielded radiation leaking dose rates fulfilled the requirement.     

The effective absorption cross-section of thermal neutrons in a medium containing strongly or weakly absorbing centres

The structure of a heterogeneous system influences diffusion of thermal neutrons. The thermal-neutron absorption in grained media is considered in the paper. A simple theory is presented for a two-component medium treated as grains embedded in the matrix or as a system built of two types of grains (of strongly differing absorption cross-sections). A grain parameter is defined as the ratio of the effective macroscopic absorption cross-section of the heterogeneous medium to the absorption cross-section of the corresponding homogeneous medium (consisting of the same components in the same proportions). The grain parameter depends on the ratio of the absorption cross-sections and contributions of the components and on the size of grains. The theoretical approach has been verified in experiments on prepared dedicated models which have kept required geometrical and physical conditions (silver grains distributed regularly in Plexiglas). The effective absorption cross-sections have been measured and compared with the results of calculations. A very good agreement has been observed. In certain cases the differences between the absorption in the heterogeneous and homogeneous media are very significant. A validity of an extension of the theoretical model on natural, two-component, heterogeneous mixtures has been tested experimentally. Aqueous solutions of boric acid have been used as the strongly absorbing component. Fine- and coarse-grained pure silicon has been used as the second component with well-defined thermal-neutron parameters. Small and large grains of diabase have been used as the second natural component. The theoretical predictions have been confirmed in these experiments.     

Influence of nonplanar distortions of the tetrapyrrole macroring on the electronic states of porphyrin dications

Quantum-chemical calculations of the excited electronic states of a porphyrin dication have been performed by the CNDO/S method for different angles determining the saddle-like and ruffled distortions of the porphyrin macroring. It is shown that saddle-like distortions arising as a result of a tilt of the pyrrole rings have a significant influence on the energies of the molecular orbitals and energies of the excited electronic states of porphyrin molecules, especially on the oscillator strength of the G→Q transition. The results of the calculations performed are in good agreement with the experimental spectra of porphyrin dications. To whom correspondence should be addressed.

Vibrational spectra of the products of interaction of enzymes with a monocarboxylcellulose matrix

By the method of IR spectroscopy it is established that the process of sorption of celiase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, streptase, plasminogen, and plasmin by monocarboxylcellulose (the content of COOH groups is 15 wt.%) is mainly identical. The determining role in the mechanism of binding of monocarboxylcellulose with the considered medicinal enzymes belongs to electrostatic interactions with the formation of ionic bonds between the COO⁻ groups of the matrix and charged amine groups of protein molecules. It is established that the process of interaction of plasmin with oxidized cellulose takes a more active course than with other investigated enzymes. It is shown that the activity of interaction of the enzymes with monocarboxylcellulose can be evaluated by a change in the relative intensity of the band of stretching vibrations of C=O groups.

Influence of microwave radiation on the association processes of rhodamine 6G molecules in aqueous solutions

The influence of the microwave radiation of two frequency ranges (2.0 mm and 6.9 dm) on the absorption spectra of the cationic dye rhodamine 6G has been investigated. A reversible decrease in the quantity of the dimers of the dye molecules after exposure of its aqueous solution to microwave radiation and also the phenomenon of destruction of the associates of the dye molecules under the influence of the microwave field have been revealed. They are discussed from the standpoint of the structural characteristic features of water.__________Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 1, pp. 34–37, January–February, 2005.
