Clarification of Confusion in Level Scheme of 124Cs

Low-lying and high-spin states of ^124 Cs are studied through the ^116 Sn（^11 B,3n）^124 Cs reaction at a beam energy of 45 MeV. Several new linking transitions are observed, including three transitions between the yrast and πh11/2 vd3/2 bands and two transitions between the yrast and πh11/2 v（d5/2, g7/2） bands. These transitions fix the excitation energy of the yrast band and its decay path, and confirm the existence of eight E1 finking transitions between the yrast and πh11/2 v（d5/2, 97/2） bands observed before. These E1 linking transitions infer the oetupole correlation in ^124Cs. The decay paths of the yrast band are investigated, and discrepancies in the level scheme of ^124Cs in the latest two studies are clarified. The reason for the discrepancies is discussed. A new decoupled band is established and temporarily assigned as the unfavored signature partner of πh11/2 vd3/2 configuration.     

Electric-dipole allowed （El） and forbidden （E2, M1 and M2） transition probabilities of 4f for N＋

By applying systematically enlarged multi-configuration Dirac-Fock wavefunction, the transitions for electricdipole allowed （E1） and forbidden （E2, M1 and M2） lines are studied among 4f pair coupling and low-lying configurations for singly ionized nitrogen. Most important effects of relativity, electron correlation, the rearrangement of electron density, Breit interaction, and quantum electrodynamic effects are included in the computation. Then, allowed （E1） and forbidden （E2, M1 and M2） transition probabilities of 4f for N＋ are obtained and compared with experimental results. Good agreement with available experimental results is found and most of the data of 4f are presented for the first time.     

Masses and Widths of Light Scalar Mesons in Chiral Perturbation Theory

Based on the diquark model, we assume that the light scalar mesons are q^2q^-2 states rather than qq^-. The chiral effective Lagrangian for the light scalar meson is constructed, and the mass relations are obtained： the isotriplet （a0） and the isosinglet （f0） are the heaviest and are degenerate, the isodoublets （κ） are heavier and the other isosinglet （σ） is the lightest; and 2Mκ^2 = Mα0^2＋ Mσ^2. Using experimental value for a0 and σ mass, we obtain Mκ=794 MeV, which is consistent with the experimental value. Then taking Г（a0^0 →ηπ^0） = 90 MeV and Г（f0→π^0π^0） = 20 MeV, we get the width of σ is： Г（σ0→π^＋π^-）= 150 MeV.     

Structural phase transition behaviour of ZnaSb3 and its substitutional compounds （Zn0.98M0.02）4Sb3 （M = Al,Ga and In） at low temperatures

Structural phase transitions of Zn4Sb3 and its substitutional compounds (Zn0.98M0.02)4Sb3 (M = Al, Ga and In) are investigated by electrical transport measurement and differential scanning calorimetry below room temperature. The results indicate that both β→α and α→α′ phase transitions of Zn4Sb3 are reversible and exothermic processes, which may be explained as that both the transitions originate from the ordering of the disordered interstitial Zn and vacancies in regular sizes. The derived activation energies of β→α and α→α′ phase transition processes for Zn4Sb3 are E1 = 3.9 eV and E2 = 4.1 eV, respectively. Although no remarkable influence on activation energy E2 is observed after Al doping, Al substitution for Zn causes E1 to increase to 4.6 eV, implying its suppression of βα transition to a great extent. Moreover, it is found that both βα and αα′ transitions are completely prohibited by substitution of either In or Ga for Zn in Zn4Sb3. The underlying mechanisms for these phenomena are discussed.

Radiation pressure and laser cooling of a three-level atom in a ladder configuration

Radiation pressure and laser cooling of a moving three-level ladder-type atom in bichromatic travelling fields are considered. The dependence of the force on parameters such as detunings, Rabi frequencies and spontaneous decay rates is calculated numerically and shown graphically, and analytical expressions for the force are obtained for some special parameter values. It is shown that the radiation pressure shows Doppler-shifted resonance peaks resulting respectively from one-photon and two-photon transitions. Using the present scheme, Doppler cooling of sodium exploiting the 3{}^2S_{1/2}－3{}^2P_{3/2}－3{}^2D_{5/2} cascade transitions is investigated. It is found that temperatures lower than the Doppler limit can be achieved.     

Coherent spectroscopy of the 87RbFg=1→ Fe=0 closed transition

This paper has observed linewidth narrowing of dark states in rubidium cell by using the Hanle configuration. The reduction of the coherent resonance width under the transition of ^87Rb Fg = 1 → Fe = 0 is observed and the qualitative explanation about its mechanism is presented. Multiple subnatural width dips are obtained with a linearly polarized laser beam for the transitions of ^87Rb Fg = 1→Fe = 0, 1, 2. The feature of negative and positive slope, namely dispersionlike feature, is observed in the transmitted light.     

Theoretical Analysis of Generalized Oscillator Strengths for Helium by R-Matrix Method

The high-energy electronic-impact excitation cross section is directly proportional to the generalized oscillators trength (GOS) of the target atom. The generalized oscillator strengths of helium atom from the ground state to the excited states (2^1S, 2^1P and 3^1D) are calculated using the updated R-matrix codes within the first Born approximation. Our calculation results are in good agreement with the previous theoretical and experimental results at high incident energies. In order to treat the bound-bound and bound-continuum transitions in a unified manner, the GOS density is defined based on the quantum defect theory. We calculate the GOS densities of ^1S, ^1p and ^1D charmels, namely the complete high-energy collision cross sections of electronic-impact excitations into all the n^1S, n^1P and n^1D excited states. In addition to high-energy excitation cross sections, a scheme to calculate the excitation cross sections for entire incident energy range is discussed.     

Magnetic dipole transitions and proton-neutron degrees of freedom in nuclear deformation

The M1 transitions between low-lying collective states are discussed from the viewpoint of the Proton-Neutron Interacting Boson Model, with particular emphasis on the mixed-symmetry states. Mixed-symmetry 2⁺ states are studied for⁵⁶Fe and⁵⁴Cr in terms of realistic and large-scale shell-model calculations, including M1 properties. The Doorway-state character of the mixed-symmetry 2⁺ state is proposed with examples in these nuclei. The possible candidate of the mixed-symmetry 2⁺ state in¹³⁴Ba is analyzed based on recent experiment by Molnaret al. on M1 transitions. The M1 transitions from the quasi-γ to quasi-g bands in γ-unstable or O(6) nuclei are discussed next, by taking Ba isotopes as an example. It is suggested that such M1 transitions are enhanced compared to axially symmetric nuclei as an indication of softness towards proton-neutron incoherent motion in γ-unstable nuclei,i.e., mixture of mixed-symmetry states. A new mirror-type symmetry is introduced for γ-unstable nuclei, and the M1 selection rule due to this symmetry is presented, making 4 ₂ ⁺ →4 ₁ ⁺ transition allowed but 3 ₁ ⁺ →2 ₁ ⁺ forbidden, for instance.     

On the enhancement of M1-transitions from neutron resonances in the Ba and Ce isotopes

The M1-strength functions for transitions from the ground states of ^136,138Ba and ¹⁴⁰Ce to the states lying near the neutron binding energy B_n are calculated within the quasiparticle-phonon nuclear model. The calculated M1-strength functions describe well the relevant experimental data. It is shown that a notable enhancement of the M1-transitions is caused by the proximity of the maximum of the M1-resonance to B_n. As a result the intensities of the E1 and M1-transitions appear to be close to each other.

Growth and characterization of BaZnGa

Abstract

We report the growth, structure and characterization of BaZnGa, identifying it as the sole known ternary compound in the Ba–Zn–Ga system. Single crystals of BaZnGa can be grown out of excess Ba–Zn and adopt a tI36 structure type. There are three unique Ba sites and three M = Zn/Ga sites. Using DFT calculations we can argue that whereas one of these three M sites is probably solely occupied by Ga, the other two M sites, most likely, have mixed Zn/Ga occupancy. Temperature-dependent resistivity and magnetization measurements suggest that BaZnGa is a poor metal with no electronic or magnetic phase transitions between 1.8 and 300 K.

Microscopic approach to magnetic excitations in IBM-2

Starting from the collective SD subspace of the shell model, we construct boson images of the hamiltonian and the M1 and M3 operators by using the OAI method. In the magnetic operators one-boson as well as two-boson terms are considered. Energy spectra and g-factors of ^130,134Ba are well reproduced by this method. Relatively strong magnetic dipole and octupole transitions at E_x ～ 2 MeV are predicted. The M1 and M3 electron scattering form factors are calculated. It turns out that the magnetic dipole operator is mainly a one-body operator in boson space, whereas the magnetic octupole operator contains important two-boson terms, which give sizeable contributions to the excitation strengths. These two-boson terms tend to diminish the F-spin selectivity of M3 excitations.

Effect of an additionally induced polarization of the ground state of an atom on multiphoton transitions

Multiphoton transitions in the Ba atom are experimentally studied in the presence of strong nonresonant radiation that additionally polarizes atoms in the ground state. It is found that the additionally induced polarization of Ba atoms leads to an increase in the probability of multiphoton transitions from this state.
