QED effects in Cu-like Pb recombination resonances near threshold

In an electron-ion recombination study with Pb53+ dielectronic recombination resonances are found for as low as approximately 10(-3)-10(-4) eV relative energy. The resonances have been calculated by relativistic many-body perturbation theory and through comparison with experiment the Pb53+(4p(1/2)-4s(1/2)) energy splitting of approximately 118 eV is determined with an accuracy comparable to the position of the first few resonances, i.e., approximately 10(-3) eV. Such a precision provides a test of QED in a many-body environment at a level which can still not be reached in calculations.     

High Rydberg resonances in dielectronic recombination of pb(79+)

Dielectronic recombination resonances of Pb (79+) associated with 2s(1/2)-->2p(1/2) excitations were measured at the heavy-ion storage ring ESR at GSI. The fine structure of the energetically lowest resonance manifold Pb (78+)(1s(2)2p(1/2)20l(j)) at around 18 eV could partially be resolved, and rate coefficients on an absolute scale were obtained. A comparison of the experimental data with results of a fully relativistic theoretical approach shows that high-angular-momentum components up to j=31/2 significantly contribute to the total resonance strength demonstrating the necessity to revise the widespread notion of negligible high-angular-momentum contributions at least for very highly charged ions.     

重离子冷却储存环CSRm双电子复合实验研究类锂36,40Ar15+离子同位素移动

配备电子冷却装置的重离子储存环为开展高电荷态离子的双电子复合（dielectronic recombination,DR）精密谱学研究提供了绝佳的实验平台。本工作在兰州重离子加速器冷却储存环主环（HIRFL-CSRm）上开展了类锂36,40Ar15+离子的双电子复合实验,实验观测了电子-离子质心系能量范围为0~35 eV的双电子复合速率系数谱。通过外推法获得了36,40Ar15+离子2s_1/2→2p_1/2和2s_1/2→2p_3/2的跃迁能量。同时利用GRASP2K程序理论计算了36,40Ar15+离子2s_1/2→2p_1/2和2s_1/2→2p_3/2跃迁的质量移动因子和场移动因子,进而得到双电子复合谱的同位素移动值。36,40Ar15+离子2s_1/2→2p_1/2和2s_1/2→2p_3/2同位素移动分别为0.861 meV和0.868 meV。它们均小于目前CSRm上双电子复合实验的实验分辨为~10 meV,进而解释了实验测量的DR谱上未能观察到同位素移动的原因。然而,高电荷态离子的同位素移动场效应与原子序数Z5成正比,因此,在重离子加速器冷却储存环实验环（HIRFL-CSRe）以及未来大型加速器--强流重离子加速器装置（HIAF）上有望通过DR精密谱学方法研究高电荷态重离子甚至放射性离子的同位素移动,进而获得相关原子核的核电荷半径等信息。The cooler storage ring is equipped with an electron-cooler. It is an excellent experimental platform for dielectronic recombination (DR) experiment of highly-charged ions. In this paper, the dielectronic recombination experiments of lithium-like Ar15+ ions with mass number 36 and 40 are conducted at the HIRFL-CSRm(main ring of the Cooling Storage Ring of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou). The experimental electron-ion collision energy scale is from 0 eV to 35 eV. Extrapolation method is exploited to obtain the excitation energies of transitions 2s_1/2→2p_1/2 and 2s_1/2→2p_3/2 of the 36,40Ar15+ ions from experimental data. Meanwhile, GRASP2K program is utilized to calculate the mass shift factors and field shift factors of 36,40Ar15+ ions for 2s_1/2→2p_1/2 and 2s_1/2→2p_3/2 transitions to obtain isotope shifts in DR spectra. In theoretical calculation, isotope shifts of 36,40Ar15+ ions corresponding to 2s_1/2→2p_1/2 and 2s_1/2→2p_3/2 are 0.861 meV and 0.868 meV, respectively. They are both less than the experimental precision (~10 meV) of these dielectronic recombination experiments at the CSRm, which explains that isotope shifts cannot be distinguished from the experimental dielectronic recombination spectra. However, the field shift of highly-charged ions is proportional to Z5. In the future, the dielectronic recombination experiments of highly-charged heavy ions even radioactive ions will be conducted at the HIRFL-CSRe (experimental ring of the Cooling Storage Ring of Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou) and the future large accelerator facility--HIAF(High intensity Heavy-ion Accelerator Facility) to measure isotope shifts to obtain the nuclear charge radius information.     

Energies and chemical shifts of the sulphur 1s level and the KL2L3(1D2) Auger line in H2S,SO2 and SF6

The sulphur 1s binding energies and KL₂L₃(¹D₂) Auger energies have been measured in gaseous H₂S, SO₂ and SF₆. The experimental data, including the chemical shifts, are compared with various theoretical ab initio results. Theoretical and experimental values agree within 1-2 eV for the chemical shift and the binding energy of the 1s level, provided in the latter case relaxation, relativistic and correlation corrections are applied. Likewise, Shirley's method²⁰, which uses empirical energies, predicts the Auger energies satisfactorily. The measured S 1s binding energies are 2478.5(1) eV, 2483.7(1) eV and 2490.1(1) eV, and KL₂L₃(¹D₂) Auger energies are 2098.7(1) eV, 2095.5(2) eV, 2092.6(1) eV for H₂S, SO₂ and SF₆, respectively. The chemical shift for the 1s electron is found to be greater than for the 2s or 2p electron and in better accord with the prediction of the potential model. Data suggest the molecular relaxation energy to be small compared with the atomic relaxation energy.     

Two-photon exchange corrections to the 2p(1/2)-2s transition energy in Li-like high- Z ions

A rigorous QED calculation of the two-photon exchange corrections to the 2p(1/2)- 2s transition energy in Li-like high- Z ions is presented. The contribution due to an exchange by more than two photons is evaluated within the Breit approximation. The resulting theoretical value of the 2p(1/2)- 2s transition energy in Li-like uranium is found to be 280.44(20) eV.     

Quantum-well states in bilayers of Ag and Au on W(1 1 0)

sp-Like quantum-well states (QWS) in thin monocrystalline bilayer films of Ag and Au on W(1 1 0) and of single Ag films were studied by angle-resolved photoemission. We find that the propagation of the electronic states in the bilayer films along [1 1 1] depends on the energy relative to the band edge of Au metal at the L point of the Brillouin zone. In particular, QWS with binding energies less than this band-edge energy (1.1 eV) are strongly confined to the Ag layer, while for higher binding energies the QWS extend across the whole bilayer film. This clearly demonstrates the weakness of the potential barrier at the Ag/Au interface in the context of QWS formation at energies where electronic states exist in both metals.     

Measurement of absolute cross sections for excitation of the 3s(2)3p(5) 2P(o)(3/2)- 3s(2)3p(5) 2P(o)(1/2) fine-structure transition in Fe9+

Experimental cross sections are reported for the 3s(2)3p(5) 2P(o)(3/2)- 3s(2)3p(5) 2P(o)(1/2) transition in Fe9+ located at 1.945 eV. The center-of-mass interaction energies are in the range of 1.72 eV (below threshold) through threshold, to 5.6 eV (2.9 x threshold). Data are compared with results of a 49-state Breit-Pauli R-matrix theory. The experiment detects structures at 3.5 and 4.6 eV corresponding to enhancement of the direct excitation via many narrow, closely spaced resonances about these energies calculated by the theory. Iron is present in practically every astrophysical object, as well as being an impurity in fusion plasmas. Present data are the first electron-energy-loss measurements on a highly charged iron ion.     

Si 2p and O 1s photoemission from oxidized Si(0 0 1) surfaces depending on translational kinetic energy of incident O2 molecules

The influence of translational kinetic energy of incident O₂ molecules for the passive oxidation of the partially oxidized Si(0 0 1) surface has been studied by photoemission spectroscopy. The incident energy of O₂ molecules was controlled up to 3 eV by a supersonic molecular beam technique. Two incident energy thresholds (1.0 and 2.6 eV) were found out in accordance with the first-principle calculations. Si 2p and O 1s photoemission spectra measured at representative incident energies showed the incident energy induced oxidation at the backbonds of the dimer and the second layer (subsurface) Si atoms. Moreover, the difference of oxygen chemical bonds was found out to be as the low and the high binding energy components in the O 1s photoemission spectra. They were assigned to bridge sites oxygen and dangling bond sites oxygen, respectively.     

Measurement of the two-loop lamb shift in lithiumlike U89+

Using the SuperEBIT electron beam ion trap, we have measured the 2s(1/2)-2p(1/2) transitions in U88+ and U89+. The measured value of 280.645 +/- 0.015 eV for Li-like U89+ improves the available precision by nearly an order of magnitude and establishes a new benchmark for testing the total QED contribution to the transition energy within a fractional accuracy of 3.6 x 10(-4). We infer a value for the 2s two-loop Lamb shift in U89+ of -0.23 eV, from which we estimate a value of -1.27 eV for the 1s two-loop Lamb shift in U91+.     

Transmission of low-energy (< 10 eV) O ions through Au films on TiO2(110)

In an attempt to identify the fundamental processes that influence ion transport through metallic surface layers, we have studied the transmission of O⁺ ions through discontinuous Au films adsorbed on TiO₂(110). A low energy (< 10 eV) O⁺ ion beam is generated via electron stimulated desorption when an Au-dosed TiO₂(110) substrate is bombarded with a focused 250 eV electron beam. Low energy ion scattering data indicate that Au evaporated under ultrahigh vacuum conditions at 300 K forms three-dimensional clusters on TiO₂(110). As the Au coverage increases, the formation of Au clusters on TiO₂(110) blocks a fraction of the TiO₂ surface and the O⁺ yield is attenuated. However, for high coverages (≥30% Au covered substrate) the O⁺ signal decreases at a faster rate than the TiO₂ open area fraction. We attribute the attenuation of the O⁺ yield for high Au coverages mainly to blocking of O⁺ by Au clusters, to deflection of trajectories by the image force between ions and Au clusters, and to charge transfer between desorbing O⁺ and neighboring Au clusters.

Cross section and resonance effects in photoemission from Sn-doped In2O3(111)

Photoemission spectra of Sn-doped In₂O₃(111) have been measured using a range of photon energies between 40 and 1300 eV. The intensity of structure at the bottom of the valence band associated with states of mixed Sn 5s/O 2p character increases with increasing photon energy relative to that of states of more dominantly O 2p character at the top of the valence band, as expected from one electron ionisation cross sections. In addition a pronounced resonance in the intensity of a weak conduction band feature is observed around the In 4p core threshold.     

High resolution scanning tunneling spectroscopy of ultrathin Pb on Si(1 1 1)-(6 × 6) substrate

The electronic structure of Si(1 1 1)-(6 × 6)Au surface covered with submonolayer amount of Pb is investigated using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Already in small islands of Pb with thickness of 1 ML Pb_(1 1 1) and with the diameter of only about 2 nm we detected the quantized electronic state with energy 0.55 eV below the Fermi level. Similarly, the I(V) characteristics made for the Si(1 1 1)-(6 × 6)Au surface reveal a localized energy state 0.3 eV below the Fermi level. These energies result from fitting of the theoretical curves to the experimental data. The calculations are based on tight binding Hubbard model. The theoretical calculations clearly show prominent modification of the I(V) curve due to variation of electronic and topographic properties of the STM tip apex.     

Multiplicity distribution and spectra of negatively charged hadrons in Au+Au collisions at square root of (sNN) = 130 GeV

The minimum-bias multiplicity distribution and the transverse momentum and pseudorapidity distributions for central collisions have been measured for negative hadrons ( h(-)) in Au+Au interactions at square root of ([s(NN)]) = 130 GeV. The multiplicity density at midrapidity for the 5% most central interactions is dN(h(-))/d(eta)/(eta = 0) = 280+/-1(stat)+/-20(syst), an increase per participant of 38% relative to pp collisions at the same energy. The mean transverse momentum is 0.508+/-0.012 GeV/c and is larger than in central Pb+Pb collisions at lower energies. The scaling of the h(-) yield per participant is a strong function of p( perpendicular). The pseudorapidity distribution is almost constant within /eta/<1.

Mutual recombination in slow Si^＋ ＋ H^- collisions

This paper studies the process of mutual neutralization of Si^＋ and H^- ions in slow collisions within the multichannel Landau-Zener model. All important ionic-covalent couplings in this collision system are included in the collision dynamics. The cross sections for population of specific final states of product Si atom are calculated in the CM energy range 0.05 e∨/u-5 ke∨/u. Both singlet and triplet states are considered. At collision energies below -10 e∨/u, the most populated singlet state is Si（3p4p, ^1S0）, while for energies above -150e∨/u it is the Si（3p, 4p, ^1P1） state. In the case of triplet states, the mixed 3p4p（^3S1 ＋^3P0） states are the most populated in the entire collision energy range investigated. The total cross section exhibits a broad maximum around 200 300e∨/u and for ECM ≤ 10e∨/u it monotonically increases with decreasing the collision energy, reaching a value of 8 × 10^-13 cm^2 at ECM = 0.05 e∨/u. The ion-pair formation process in Si（3p^2 ^3PJ）＋H（1s） collisions has also been considered and its cross section in the considered energy range is very small （smaller than 10^-20 cm^2 in the energy region below 1 ke∨/u）.

Photoemission experiments and density functional calculations for the W(1 1 2) stepped surface with submonolayer Au coverages

Photoemission experiments and theoretical calculations for the system Au-stepped W(1 1 2), have been done at submonolayer coverage region ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 monolayers, for different sample orientations relative to the photon polarization, i.e. parallel and perpendicular to the steps direction. Valence-band photoemission spectra of the Au/W(1 1 2) system demonstrate sharp angular dependent features at 4.5 and 0.3 eV binding energies when the photon polarization is parallel to the steps direction. Density functional theory calculations were performed for the Au/W(1 1 2) system with monolayer and half monolayer Au coverages in order to assign the origin of these features.     

Ion-induced secondary electron and negative ion emission from Mo/O

Absolute yields of secondary electrons and negative ions resulting from collisions of Na⁺ with Mo(100) and a polycrystalline molybdenum surface have been measured as a function of the oxygen coverage of the surface for impact energies below 500 eV. The sputtered negative ions have been identified with mass spectroscopy, and O⁻ is found to be the dominant sputtered negative ion for the surfaces at all oxygen coverages and impact energies. Both the electron and O⁻ yields have an impact energy threshold at about 50 eV and exhibit a strong dependence on oxygen coverage. The kinetic energy distributions of the secondary electrons and sputtered O⁻ were determined as functions of the oxygen coverage and impact energy. The distributions for O⁻ are characterized by a narrow low-energy peak (at 1–2 eV) followed by a low-level high-energy tail. The secondary electrons have a narrow (FWHM 1–2 eV) kinetic energy distribution, centered approximately at 1–2 eV. The shapes of the distributions and their most probable energies are essentially invariant with impact energy, oxygen coverage and the nature of the Mo surface. The emission is explained and analyzed in terms of a simple model which involves a collision-induced electronic excitation of the MoO⁻ surface state. The decay of this excited state leads to the production of both secondary electrons and O⁻ with energy distributions and yields comparable to those observed.
