By detecting inducedγ activity the σ _{n, α} has been measured. Theσ _n,p has been determined from the difference of this two measurements.

Cross sections for the 11.08 (3+) and 11.096 MeV (4+) states in 16O by 12C(6Li,d) and 13C(6Li,t)

Particle and particle-γ measurements were performed to determine the cross sections for population of the 8.87 (2^?), 10.35 (4⁺), 11.08 (3⁺) and 11.096 MeV (4⁺) states in ¹⁶O by the ¹²C(⁶Li, d) and ¹³C(⁶Li, t) reactions in the energy range from 20—34 MeV. In general, statistical compound nuclear calculations correctly predict the magnitude of the cross sections of the unnatural parity states and underpredict those for the natural parity states. The population of the 10.35 MeV 4⁺ state in the ¹³C(⁶Li, t) reaction is correctly predicted by these calculations. These measurements support earlier claims that the large ¹²C(⁶Li, d) cross section to the 11.096 MeV 4⁺ state is a result of multistep processes.

Comparison of analyzing power and polarization in the reaction 3H(p,n)3He: (II). New polarization results below 4 MeV

The polarization P^y for the ³H(p, n)³He reaction was measured for energies between 2 and 4 MeV. Special care was given to minimizing the effects of background and to interpreting the experimental spectra. The new values for P^y are significantly higher than previous values, and comparison to the available data for the analyzing power A_y for the same reaction now shows that in this energy range P^y and A_y are equal within experimental uncertainties. This equality negates earlier conclusions that sizeable differences existed between these observables. In particular, our new results demonstrate that in this reaction the effects of charge symmetry breaking on differences between these observables must be small.

Cross sections and reaction mechanisms of (p,pxn) reactions on 208Pb in the 24–52 MeV range

The cross sections for the reactions ²⁰⁸Pb(p, pn)^207mPb, ²⁰⁸Pb(p, p2n)^206mPb have been measured for 24, 28, 36, 44 and 52 MeV incident protons. The experimental results are shown to be consistent with the clean knockout mechanism for the (p, pn) reaction and with knockout of one neutron followed by evaporation of another for the (p, p2n) reaction. We deduce a theoretical formula for the cross section for these reactions.     

Nondynamical calculation of polarization observables in the3H(d,n)4 He reaction below 1 MeV

The parametrization of cross-section, polarization, analysing powers, spin-correlation and polarization transfer observables in terms of (l, s, J) matrix elements is given for the³H(d, n)⁴He reaction at low energies. It is shown that a complete set of matrix elements can be obtained from these observables.     

Cross sections of electron capture and electron capture ionization versus the impact parameter in collisions of a proton with multielectron atoms

The absolute differential cross sections of scattering of hydrogen atoms resulting from an electron capture and an electron capture ionization are measured for collisions of 4.5- and 11-keV protons with argon and xenon atoms. The range of scattering angles is 0°–2°. From the scattering differential cross section found experimentally, the probabilities of single-electron capture and electron capture ionization as a function of the impact parameter are calculated. The dependences of the incident particle scattering angle on the impact parameter (deviation function) for interactions with Ar and Xe atoms are calculated in terms of classical mechanics using the Moliére—Yukawa potential to describe the interaction of atomic particles. Analysis is given to the probabilities of electron capture and electron capture ionization versus the impact parameter and to the distribution of the electron density on different electron shells in a target atom versus a distance to the core. It is concluded that only electrons from the outer shell of the target atom are involved in the process of electron capture ionization. The cross section of electron capture ionization is calculated in the proton energy range 5–20 keV.     

Measurement of the proton polarization in the 3He(d,p)4He Rection between 2.0 and 6.0 MeV

Angular distributions of the polarization of ³He(d, p)⁴He protons have been measured for unpolarized deuterons with laboratory energies of 1.99, 2.81, 3.94 and 6.00 MeV. The polarizations were determined from the left-right asymmetry of elastic scattering through 60° in ⁴He gas using a vaned polarimeter whose analyzing power was computed by trajectory tracing from the known p-α polarizations. A contour diagram of proton polarization for deuteron energies of 1 to 12 MeV is presented. A Legendre polynomial expansion of four or five terms has been fitted to the products p(θ)σ(θ). The coefficients of the expansions of these and other measurements show resonance-like behaviour at ⁵Li excitations of 20.0 and 20.9 MeV. The vector-polarized beam and polarized-target analyzing powers are compared with the proton polarization. The proton polarizations are in good agreement with the ³H(d, n)⁴He neutron polarizations when compared at the same entrance-channel energy but disagree when compared at equal exit-channel energies or compound-nucleus excitations.     

Polarization and polarization transfer in the 2H(d,n)3He reaction at 10 MeV

Angular distributions of six polarization transfer coefficients $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{x}}{}^{\mathrm{x\prime }}\text{(θ), k}{}_{\mathrm{x}}{}^{\mathrm{z\prime }}\text{(θ), K}{}_{\mathrm{z}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>x</mtext><mtext>?</mtext>}}\text{(θ), K}{}_{\mathrm{z}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>z</mtext><mtext>?</mtext>}}\text{(θ),}\text{and}\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{yy}}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>y</mtext><mtext>?</mtext>}}\text{(θ)}$; of the four analyzing powers A_y(θ), A_xx(θ), A_yy(θ), and A_zz(θ); and of the polarization function P^ý(θ), have been measured atE_d = 10.00 MeV for the reaction ²H(d, n)³He. Measurements were made for neutron lab angles between 0° and 80° in 10° steps. Additionally the y-axis associated quantities were measured at θ_1ab = 99°. Most of the measured coefficients are large at some angles and all show considerable variation with angle.     

(100) and (110) SiSiO2 interface studies by MeV ion backscattering

Thin oxide layers on (110) and (100) Si have been studied by ion scattering experiments in a channeling grazing exit angle geometry. Oxides are found to be stoichiometric SiO₂ to within 10 Å of the (100) substrate surface, and 7 Å of the (110). The transition interface region between single crystal Si and the SiO₂ layer is abrupt and is characterized by approximately one to two monolayers of Si which is out of registration with the substrate lattice for the (110) case. The possibility of a layer of O-deficient oxide is also explored.     

Measurement of proton polarization in the 208Pb(d,p)209Pb reaction at an incident energy of 20 MeV

Angular distribution measurements of proton polarization in the ²⁰⁸Pb(d, p)²⁰⁹Pb reaction to the ground g_9/2 state were made at an incident deuteron energy of 20 MeV using a high efficiency proton polarimeter. Distorted wave Born approximation analysis and continuum discretized coupled channel analysis were performed on the data and compared with measurements of the angular distribution of the vector analyzing power for the same reaction. The result of the calculations predict that the angular distribution of the vector analyzing power should be similar to that of the polarization. However, the experimental data gives different angular distributions. The measured vector analyzing power is well reproduced by the calculations, while the polarization is not well reproduced.     

Cross sections for single and double ionization of atomic helium under impact by fast multiply charged ions

Expressions for the cross sections for single and double ionization of atomic helium in collisions with fast multiply charged ions are obtained in the collision parameter range υ ²≫Z≳υ, υ ₀<c, where Z and υ are, respectively, the ion charge and ion velocity, υ ₀ is the characteristic velocity of electrons in the atomic helium ground state, and c is the velocity of light.

Cross sections for K-shell ionization of Si and Ar by 4 keV to 10 keV electron impact

K-Auger electron emission of Si and Ar produced by 4 keV to 10 keV electrons was measured. Absolute yields were obtained by normalizing to the elastically scattered primary electrons. From the yields cross sections for K-shell ionization were deduced. The cross sections are in good agreement with the results of a fit formula for K-shell excitation in the whole range measured, while they agree with results of PWBA calculations including electron exchange in the Ochkur approximation only for the higher impact energies.     

High-quality epitaxial LaNiO3 thin films on SrTiO3(100) and LaAlO3(100)

LaNiO₃ thin films have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition on SrTiO₃(100) and LaAlO₃(100) substrates. The processing conditions have been investigated in order to optimize electrical resistivity, crystal quality, and surface morphology. Excellent properties are achieved at moderate substrate temperature and relatively low oxygen pressure, without the need for annealing. Thickness exerts an important influence on electrical transport, as the electrical resistivity increases quickly in films thicker than a few tens of nanometer. The surface of the films on LaAlO₃ is very flat in all the studied thickness range, but the films on SrTiO₃ develop a pattern of boundaries and even cracks as the thickness is higher. Below the critical thickness, high-quality epitaxial films with very smooth surface and low electrical resistivity are obtained under the optimum conditions of substrate temperature and oxygen pressure. The optimum processing conditions are different depending on the substrate, and control is especially critical in films deposited on SrTiO₃.
