Two-electron,one-photon transitions in nickel

The two emission lines, Kα₁α₃^h and Kα₂α₃^h resulting from the two-electron transitions $\text{1s}{}^{\mathrm{?2}}\text{→ 2s}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{2p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ and $\text{1s}{}^{\mathrm{?2}}\text{→ 2s}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{2p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ were resolved for elemental nickel. Their measured energies agree well with calculations. Their relative intensity $\text{I(Kα}{}_1\text{α}{}_3{}^{\mathrm{h}}\text{)/I(Kα}{}_2\text{α}{}_3{}^{\mathrm{h}}\text{) ≈}\text{3}\text{4}$ and their intensity relative to that of the Kα diagram lines is about 10^?4. This is some 10⁴ times larger than both theoretical results and the results of ion-atom collision experiments.     

Temperature and pressure dependence of the elastic property of GeS2 glass

The sound velocities in GeS₂ glass have been measured by means of ultrasonic interferometry as a function of temperature or pressure up to 1.8 kbar. The bulk modulus K_s = 117.6 kbar and shear modulus G = 60.60 kbar were obtained for GeS₂ glass at 15°C and 1 atm. The temperature derivatives of both sound velocities and elastic moduli are negative :

The elastic behavior of GeS₂ glass has proved to be normal despite the structural similarity among the tetrahedrally coordinated SiO₂, GeO₂ and GeS₂ glasses.     

Chemical diffusion in nonstoichiometric chromium sulfide,Cr2+yS3

Using the re-equilibration kinetic method the chemical diffusion coefficient in nonstoichiometric chromium sesquisulfide, Cr_2+yS₃, has been determined as a function of temperature (1073–1373 K) and sulphur vapour pressure (10?10⁴ Pa). It has been found that this coefficient is independent of sulphur pressure and can be described by the following empirical equation: $\text{D}\text{?}\text{Cr}{}_{\mathrm{2+y}}\text{S}{}_3\text{=50.86}\text{exp(-39070 cal/mole/}\text{RT)}\text{(cm}{}^2\text{s}{}^{\mathrm{?1)}}$. It has been shown that the mobility of the point defects inCr_2+yS₃ is independent of their concentration and that the self-diffusion coefficient of chromium in this sulfide has the following function of temperature and sulphur pressure: . (cm²s^?1).     

Kerr-effect and dielectric tensor elements of magnetite (Fe3O4) between 0.5 and 4.3 eV

The complex polar Kerr effect (rotation and ellipticity) of magnetite single crystals has been measured at room temperature between 0.5 and 4.3 eV. From the magneto-optical data and the optical constants, the off-diagonal elements (?_xy) of the dielectric tensor has been derived. Three well separated magneto-optical transitions have been indentified. At about 0.75 eV one strong magneto-optical structure with a diamagnetic line shape is assigned to a $\text{3d}{}^6\text{→3d}{}^5\text{(}{}^6\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{1g}}\text{) 4s}$ transition from Fe²⁺ in octahedral sites. Two other structures with paramagnetic line shapes near 1.85 and 2.90 eV are assigned to the orbital promotion processes $\text{3d}{}^6\text{(Fe}{}^{\mathrm{2+}}{}_{\mathrm{oct}}\text{)→3d}{}^5\text{(}{}^4\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{1g}}\text{) 4s}$ and $\text{3d}{}^5\text{(Fe}{}^{\mathrm{3+}}{}_{\mathrm{tet}}\text{)→3d}{}^4\text{(}{}^5\text{T}{}_2\text{) 4s}$, respectively, which take into account Fe 3d^n?1 final state effects.     

ESR and superconductivity of Nd3+ and Gd3+ in ZrIr2

We report low temperatures ESR and Superconductivity experiments on Nd³⁺ and Gd³⁺ in the superconducting cubic intermetallic compound ZrIr₂. The ratio of the squares of the effective 4f-conduction electron exchange parameters corresponding to Nd³⁺ and Gd³⁺ ($\text{J}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{s-Nd}}\text{J}{}^2{}_{\mathrm{s-Gd}}$) were extracted both from the thermal broadening of the ESR linewidths and from the initial depression of the superconducting critical temperature, and were found to be comparable. Nd³⁺ was found to have a larger exchange parameter than of Gd³⁺.     

Simultaneous diffusion of calcium and strontium in KCl single crystals

Concentration dependent diffusion coefficients for ⁴⁵Ca²⁺ and ⁸⁵Sr²⁺ in purified KCl were measured using a sectioning method. KCl was purified by an ion exchange — Cl₂?HCl process and the crystals grown under $\text{1}\text{6}$ atmosphere of HCl. The tracers were purified on small disposable ion exchange columns to remove precessor and daughter impurities prior to use in a diffusion anneal. Isothermal diffusion anneals were made in the temperature range from 451% to 669%C. At temperatures above 580%C (the lowest melting eutectic in this system) diffusion was from a vapor source: below 580%C surface depositied sources were used. The saturation diffusion coefficients. enthalpies and entropies of impurity-vacancy associations were calculated using the common ion model for simultaneous diffusion of divalent ions in alkali halides. In KCl the saturation diffusion coefficients D_S(ca) and D_s(Sr) are given by

$\text{D}{}_{\mathrm{s}}\text{(Ca) = 9.93 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?5}}\text{exp(?0.592}\text{eV}\text{kT}\text{)}\text{cm}{}^2\text{sec}$

(2) for calcium and strontium, respectively. The Gibbs free energy of association of the impurity vacancy complex in KCl for calcium can be represented by

$\text{Δg(Ca) = ?-0.507 eV + (2.25 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?4}}\text{eV}\text{\%K}\text{)T}$

On the mobility of a very pure semiconductor including the low impurity concentration limit

The low temperature mobility μ limited by charged impurities is calculated by solving the equation for the relaxation rate previously derived. The calculated μ behaves like $\text{μ = 2.03 κ}{}^2\text{(k}{}_{\mathrm{B}}\text{T)}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}\text{z}{}^{\mathrm{?2}}\text{n}{}_{\mathrm{s}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{m}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>?1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ In $\text{[38.2κ}{}^2\text{m}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{(k}{}_{\mathrm{B}}\text{T)}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{/z}{}^2\text{e}{}^4\text{h}\text{?}\text{n}{}_{\mathrm{s}}\text{]}$ for lowest concentrations n_s<10¹¹cm^?3 for Ge and

Glueball spectroscopy from strong coupling expansions in hamiltonian lattice QCD

Masses of all the glueballs which are created by 6- or 7-link operators are calculated to order g^?8 in pure SU(3) hamiltonian lattice gauge theory. Several low-lying states are found with masses $\text{m(0}{}^{\mathrm{++1}}\text{)～ 1.4 m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>s</mtext>}}\text{, m(0}{}^{\mathrm{++7}}\text{) ～ 1.7 m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>s</mtext>}}$ (¹ and ⁷ stand for radial excitations and m_s is the mass of the lowest 0⁺⁺ state), . These values are obtained at the point g^?2 ? 0.8, which lies near the scaling region.     

Neutron-proton shell model multiplets in 88Y and 90Y from a study of the (α, nγ) reaction

The non-selective nature of the (α, nγ) reaction has been used to complement information from charged-particle reactions on the level structure of ⁸⁸Y and ⁹⁰Y. The γ-ray spectra were recorded with a 25 cm³ Ge(Li) detector at 90° to the beam using primarily targets of ⁸⁵Rb₂CO₃ and ⁸⁷Rb₂CO₃ and α-particle energies of 11.8, 12.2 and 13.0 MeV. The resulting transitions were accommodated in level schemes that involved primarily the following shell model configurations: $\text{(π}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^1\text{(ν}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$, $\text{(π}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{(ν}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^1$, $\text{(π}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^1\text{(ν}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$, $\text{(π}\text{f}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{(ν}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ in ⁸⁸Y and $\text{(π}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^1\text{(ν}\text{d}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^1$, $\text{π}\text{g}\text{(}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^1\text{(ν}\text{d}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^1$,$\text{(π}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^1\text{(ν}\text{s}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2)</mtext>}}\text{)}{}^1$ in ⁹⁰Y.     

Ab initio study of the photodissociation of ammonia

An ab initio SCF and CI treatment of the electronic spectrum of ammonia in both the pyramidal and planar conformation is reported which employs an [8, 6, $\text{1}\text{4}$, 1] AO basis of near Hartree-Fock quality; the ground state CI energy obtained for the equilibrium conformation is ?56.4241 a.u. In addition, further calculations have been carried out at the SCF level to study various photodissociation reactions of NH₃. The calculated CI transition energies are seen to agree with corresponding experimental values to within 0.0–0.3 eV, usually in the 0.1-eV range. Photodissociation to the $\text{NH}{}_2\text{(}{}^2\text{B}\text{?}{}_1\text{) +}\text{H}\text{(}{}^2\text{S)}$ products is confirmed thereby to proceed via the $\text{A}\text{?}\text{1a″}{}_2\text{→ 3s}$ state of ammonia, but contrary to earlier speculation it is found that the transformation between reactant and products is already satisfactorily described at the SCF or orbital level, i.e., a Rydberg 3s of NH₃ is seen to be gradually converted into a pure hydrogenic 1s species as dissociation proceeds. In addition the photolysis of NH₃ to NH₂$\text{(}{}^2\text{A}{}_1\text{) +}\text{H}\text{(}{}^2\text{S)}$ is argued to occur via the $\text{C}\text{?}\text{1a″}{}_2\text{→ 3pz}{}^1\text{A′}{}_1$ state and as such is seen to be a symmetry allowed process, in contrast to the previous assignment involving the $\text{B}\text{?}\text{1a″}{}_2\text{→ 3px}$, $\text{y}{}^1\text{E″}$ species. Finally an attempt is made to analyze the mechanisms of various NH + H₂ photodissociation processes with the help of SCF calculations and symmetry arguments for various higher-lying excited states of ammonia.     

Search for parity-nonconservation effects in deep-inelastic μ-N interaction

The difference of the cross sections for deep inelastic scattering of muons with average momenta 21 GeV/c with right and left helicity at large angles, i.e., with large momentum transfer, has been measured. No statistically-significant dependence of cross sections on the longitudinal polarization of muons has been found, i.e. no parity-nonconservation effects in deep inelastic μN interaction have been observed. The magnitude of the cross-section asymmetry $\text{R =}\text{[〈σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>R</mtext>}}\text{〉 ? 〈σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>L</mtext>}}\text{〉]}\text{[〈σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>R</mtext>}}\text{〉+ + 〈σ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>L</mtext>}}\text{〉]}$ may be represented as R = β〈Q²〉 = (? 4 ± 6) × 10^?3 〈Q², (GeV/c)²〉. The limitations G_o^(μ) = (+ 6 ± 10)G have been obtained for the constant G_o^(μ) of vector-axial interaction $\text{(}\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>o</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{(\mu )}}\text{2}\text{) [}\text{μ}\text{γα(1 + γ}{}_5\text{)μ] J}{}_{\mathrm{\alpha }}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>o</mtext>}}$ (hadron, V-A).     

The spectroscopic study of excitation and ionization in the collision of two metastable atoms

Collisions between two excited atoms leading to an increase in the excitation energy of the particles have been under investigation. All measurements were made in the afterglow of gas-discharge plasma. The cross sections of the following reactions have been determined: $\text{Hg}\text{(6}{}^3\text{P}{}_{012}\text{) +}\text{Hg}\text{(6}{}^3\text{P}{}_{012}\text{) →}\text{Hg}{}^7\text{+}\text{Hg}\text{(6}{}^1\text{S}{}_0\text{),}\text{He}{}_{\mathrm{m}}\text{(2}{}^{\mathrm{1,3}}\text{S}\text{) +}\text{Xe}{}_{\mathrm{m}}\text{(}{}^3\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{0,2}}\text{) → (}\text{Xe}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{)}{}^1\text{+}\text{He}{}_0\text{+}\text{e}$. The cross section of the first reaction for different transitions lies in the region (2?35) × 10^?15 cm² and the cross section of the second, in (0.2?2.4) × 10^?16 cm². Possible systematic errors and the role of cascade transitions are discussed. Cross sections of the Penning reaction He_m + Xe₀ → He₀ + Xe⁺ + e have also been measured. The result is σ (2³S) = (1.4 ± 0.2) × 10^?15 cm², σ (2¹S) = (1.2 ± 0.3) × 10^?15 cm².

Energies and dipole matrix elements have been calculated for He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, and Ne-like ions (configurations 1s²2sⁿ¹2pⁿ²?1s²2s^n1?12pⁿ²⁺¹). The Hartree-Fock energy, the correlation energy, and relativistic corrections were taken into account. Relativistic corrections were obtained by computing the entire quantity H_B. Numerical results are presented for energies of the terms in the form

. Dipole matrix elements are required for calculation of oscillator strengths or transition probabilities. For the dipole matrix elements, two terms of the expansion in $\text{1}\text{Z}$ have been obtained. Numerical results are presented in the form P(a, a′) = (a/Z)[1 + (τ/Z)].     

The Pomeron and the scaling law for partial wave amplitudes

From the scaling law for the s-channel partial wave amplitudes, which guarantees simultaneously t-channel unitarity at threshold t = 4μ² and s-channel unitarity, we derive: (i) The intercept α(0) of the Pomeron is always one, if α(4μ²) > 1. (ii) The total and the elastic cross sections are bounded from below for s → ∞.

where α(4μ²) and δ(4μ²) are the position and the type of te Pomeron singularity (J ? α(4μ²))^{?1?δ(4μ2) at t = 4μ2}. (iii) The type of the Pomeron singularity δ(4μ²) is restricted: either $\text{δ(4μ}{}^2\text{) ?}\text{1}\text{2}$ or $\text{δ(4μ}{}^2\text{) ?}\text{1}\text{2}$.     

Electric dipole transition cross sections and effective site symmetry of Eu3+ in pseudocentric K5Eu(MoO4)4

The fluorescence and absorption spectra of Eu³⁺ in K₅Eu(MoO₄)₄ have been measured at 300 K and 77 K. The fluorescence lifetime of the ⁵D₀ state is 1.4 ms at 300 K. The largest cross section $\text{σ(}{}^5\text{D}{}_0\text{→}{}^7\text{F}{}_2\text{(4)) = 1.3 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?21}}\text{cm}{}^2$ and the removal of degeneracies require to replace the nearest neighbour D_3d symmetry of Eu³⁺ by the effective symmetries C₁, C₂ and C_s of the whole unit cell. It is shown that C₁ dominates because of the statistical distribution of K⁺ and Eu³⁺. The corresponding inhomogeneous broadening is observed at 77 K.     

Coupling constants for several light nuclei from a dispersion analysis of nucleon and deuteron scattering amplitudes

A forward dispersion relation cannot be applied to charged particle scattering amplitudes unless the influence of the Coulomb interaction is explicitly considered. Earlier studies have shown how Coulomb effects can be taken into account when direct (s-channel or bound-state) poles are investigated. In this paper we extend the Coulomb modification to include I = 0 exchange (u-channel) processes as well. We then apply a forward dispersion relation to empirical d + α, p + d and n + d elastic scattering amplitudes which contain both direct and exchange poles with and without Coulomb effects. We obtain detailed and model-independent information on the following vertices: ⁶Li-α-d (S- and D-state) ⁴He-d-d, ³He-d-p, ³H-d-n and d-p-n. From the coupling constants we calculate the asymptotic normalization (spectroscopic factors) C²₁ of the corresponding cluster wave functions, which become: $\text{C}{}^2{}_0\text{(}{}^6\text{Li}\text{, α}\text{d}\text{) = 4.62 ± 0.23}$, $\text{C}{}^2{}_2\text{(}{}^6\text{Li}\text{, α}\text{d}\text{) = (1 ± 6) × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?4}}$, C²₀(α, dd) < 2, $\text{C}{}^2{}_0\text{(}{}^3\text{He, dp}\text{) = 3.5 ± 0.4}$, $\text{C}{}^2{}_0\text{(}{}^3\text{H, dn}\text{) = 2.6 ± 0.3}\text{and}\text{C}{}^2{}_0\text{(}\text{d, np}\text{) = 1.66 ± 0.1}$.

The problem in the use of the single configuration HF model is discussed.

Cross sections for $\text{4}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{?4}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ fine-structure mixing in potassium, induced in collisions with N₂, H₂, CO, and CH₄, were determined by methods of atomic fluorescence spectroscopy. The experiments were carried out at a temperature of 342 K, a K density of 6 × 10⁹ cm^?3 and mtorr buffer gas pressures, and yielded the following cross sections $\text{Q}{}_1\text{(4}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{→4}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$) and $\text{Q}{}_2\text{(4}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{→4}{}^2\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ (in units of 10^?6 cm²): for N₂, 79 and 54; for H₂, 57 and 39; for CO, 98 and 64; for CH₄, 86 and 58. The values for N₂ and H₂ supersede those reported previously by McGillis and Krause (1968).
