128Cs as the best example revealing chiral symmetry breaking

The results of the Doppler-shift attenuation method lifetime measurements in partner bands of 128Cs and 132La are presented. Experimental reduced transition probabilities in 128Cs are compared with theoretical calculations done in the frame of the core-quasiparticle coupling model. The electromagnetic properties, energy and spin of levels belonging to the partner bands show that 128Cs is the best known example revealing the chiral symmetry breaking phenomenon.

The possible chiral doublets in A≈100 region have been predicted by the particle-rotor model (PRM) with the configuration πg_(9/2) νg~(-1)_(9/2) based on the analysis of the B(M1) and B(E2) transition probabilities.     

基于HI-13串列加速器在束γ终端原子核激发态寿命测量的核结构研究

利用在HI-13串列加速器的在束γ终端上建立的多普勒线移衰减法、反冲距离多普勒线移法和快时间延迟符合法等3种寿命测量方法,开展了原子核手征对称性、磁转动等核结构热点课题的研究工作。实验结果表明,130Cs的伙伴带具有很好的手征特性,而106Ag的候选带并非手征双带。根据测量的能级寿命提取的B（M1）值表明,106Ag的正宇称晕带和107Ag的正、负宇称晕带都具有典型的磁转动特性。此外,寿命测量数据还为解释和理解不同的同位素链中展现出的形状演化、形状共存、形状相变及临界点对称性等物理现象提供了有价值的实验证据。 The significance and principle of lifetime measurements of excited states in nuclei are briefly described. By using the recoil-distance Doppler-shift method, the Doppler-shift attenuation method, and the fast-timing technique established at the in-beam γ terminal of HI-13 tandem accelerator, nuclear structure studies on topical subjects including chiral symmetries and magnetic rotation have been performed. Our experimental results indicate that 130Cs shows better chiral characteristics, however, the two candidate bands of 106Ag could not be a pair of chiral doublet bands. For magnetic rotation, the deduced B(M1) values deduced from the measured level lifetimes clearly demonstrate that the yrast positive-parity band in 106Ag and both the yrast positiveand negative-parity bands in 107Ag are magnetic rotation bands. In addition, our lifetime measurement data also provide valuable experimental evidences for the interpretation and understanding of the shape evolution, the shape coexistence, and the critical-point symmetries of shape phase transition in the different isotope chains.     

Systematic study of kinematic and dynamic moments of inertia of superdeformed bands with N_pN_n scheme

The systematics of kinematic moment of inertia J~((1))and dynamic moment of inertia J~((2))of superdeformed(SD) bands in A~130, 150, 190 mass regions have been studied. We have obtained the values of J~((1))and J~((2))for all the SD bands observed in the A~130, 150, 190 mass regions by using the experimental intraband E2 transition energies. The result of this work includes the variation of J~((1))with the product of valence proton and neutron numbers(N_pN_n). The phenomenon of band mixing has been observed in the A~130, 150 mass regions and band crossing has been observed in the A~190 mass region. The systematics also includes the variation of J~((2))with the product of valence proton and neutron numbers(N_pN_n). Evidence of staggering behaviour has been observed in all three A~130, 150 and 190 mass regions. We present for the first time the variation of J~((1))and J~((2))of SD bands in the A~130, 150, 190 mass regions with N_pN_n.     

Vibrational Frequencies of 1,4-Dithiane-1-oxide (DTMSO)

Abstract

The Raman and infrared spectra of 1,4-dithiane-1-oxide are reported in the frequency region from 4000 to 130 cm^?1, for polycrystall ine samples. The observed bands are assigned on the assumption of a Cs chair form with axial conformation. The fundamental frequencies are discussed and compared with those of 1,4-dithiane, pentanethylene sulfoxide and 1,4-oxathiane-4-oxide, The vibrational coupling among skeletal and S=0 deformations is discussed.     

Temperature dependence of the Cs colloids absorption bands

Temperature dependence of the absorption bands due to Cs colloidal particles has been measured for colloids of different radii in additively colored CsBr and CsI. Large reversible shifts in the peak positions of the colloid bands are detected when we measure them at temperatures ranging between RT and LNT. The results are discussed and a tentative explanation based on the thermal change of Cs metal dielectric constants is proposed.     

Study on the Excited States of 124Cs by Heavy Ion Reaction

Excited states of ¹²⁴Cs have been studied by means of in beam γ-ray technique via the reaction ¹⁰⁹Ag(¹⁹F,p3n).Based on the observation of the high spin bands and their decay to the ground state,a level scheme of ¹²⁴Cs has been established.     

Superdeformation in lead nuclei

For the first time, collective bands have been observed in the doubly-odd nucleus¹²⁴Cs. They are proposed to result in the coupling of an h_11/2 proton to h_11/2 and positive parity neutrons. The relative residual protonneutron interaction in¹²⁴Cs is calculated and compared to that of neighbouring odd-odd nuclei.     

125Cs的能级结构

通过116Cd(14N,5n),Ebeam=65MeV的核反应布居了125Cs的高自旋态.利用在束γ谱学实验方法,进行了γ-γ符合测量,使已知的125Cs核能级纲图得到了扩展,并且修正了某些组态的带头激发能.High-spin states in odd-A nucleus~(125)Cs have been studied via the~(116)Cd(~(14)N, 5n) reaction at 65 MeV bombarding energy. γ-γ coincidences were recorded with the NORDBALL detector array at Niels Bohr Institute in Denmark. After careful data analysis, most of the previously-known bands have been confirmed and 5 new rotational sequences have been identified. Spin/parity and configuration assignments are tentatively proposed for all of the observed bands. In addition, the bandheads of the 9/2~(+)and (1/2~...     

Rotational bands in the doubly odd 130Cs nucleus

The band structures built on the 5^- isomeric state ( T _1/2 = 3.46 m) in the doubly odd ¹³⁰Cs nucleus have been established up to I = 24? via the ¹²⁴Sn(¹¹B, 5n)¹³⁰Cs reaction. The previously observed bands based on the πh _11/2⊗νh _11/2, πg _7/2⊗νh _11/2 and πd _5/2⊗νh _11/2 configurations and a positive-parity side band with multiple connections to the α = 0 signature partner of the yrast πh _11/2⊗νh _11/2 band have been extended to higher spins. A new band based on the πh _11/2⊗νg _7/2 configuration is observed. The yrast πh _11/2⊗νh _11/2 band exhibits anomalous signature splitting whose magnitude decreases up to spin 15 and then increases without restoring the normal signature splitting.

On pair-absorption in intrinsic vapours

The bound-state pair-absorption bands Cs(6² S _1/2)+Cs(6² S _1/2)+h v→Cs(5² D _5/2,3/2) +Cs(6² P _1/2) and the K — K continuum-state pair-absorptions in the wavelength region 2,350≦λ≦2,850 Å have been investigated experimentally. In the case of the bound-state pair-absorption bands a theoretical approach for the absorption cross section at the band centre is given which is in good agreement with the experimental observation. Differences between our and the theoretical formulas given by the Stanford group are discussed.     

Rotational structures in the 125Cs nucleus

The collective band structures of the ¹²⁵Cs nucleus have been investigated by in-beam γ-ray spectroscopic techniques following the ¹¹⁰Pd ( ¹⁹F, 4n) reaction at 75MeV. The previously known level scheme, with rotational bands built on πg_7/2, πg_9/2 and πh_11/2 orbitals, has been extended and evolves into bands involving rotationally aligned ν(h_11/2)² and π(h_11/2)² quasiparticles. A strongly coupled band has been reassigned a high-K πh_11/2 ⊗ νg_7/2 ⊗ νh_11/2 three-quasiparticle configuration and a new side band likely to be its chiral partner has been identified. Configurations assigned to various bands are discussed in the framework of Principal/Tilted Axis Cranking (PAC/TAC) model calculations.     

Magnetic rotation — past,present and future

Magnetic-dipole rotational (MR) bands were discovered about 15 years ago without any theoretical prediction in contrast to the super-deformed (SD) bands which were predicted long ago. First identification of a quasirotational structure as MR band occurred around 1992 although Kr isotopes probably have the first set of data having the signatures of MR bands as shown by us. Our first compilation of MR bands listed 120 MR bands in 56 nuclides which have now grown to more than 180 bands in 80 nuclides. We have observed new MR bands in the A = 130 mass region in ¹³⁷Pr, ¹³⁹Nd and ¹³⁵Ba nuclei. This led to the observation of the smallest MR bands in ¹³⁷Pr, multiple minima in the γ deformation in ¹³⁵Ba, coexistence of band structure based on these minima and band crossing of MR bands in A = 130 region. Some of these results have been reviewed in this paper along with theoretical calculations. There are still a number of questions related to MR bands which have not been fully resolved. The role of neutrons/protons in magnetic rotation still needs to be delineated. Do the MR bands follow the I(I + 1) behaviour? Are these structures as regular as normal rotational bands? How important is the existence of deformation for MR bands? We address some of these questions in this paper.     

New isomers and their decay in odd-odd neutron-deficient cesium isotopes

By a systematic on-line cesium mass separation fromA=122 toA=132 and subsequent gamma and electron decay spectroscopy at very low energy, new isomers have been precisely identified:^122m Cs (T _1/2=0.36±0.02 s),^124m Cs (T _1/2=6.3±0.2 s) and^130m Cs (T _1/2=3.46±0.06 min). Detailed level schemes are given for both^124m Cs and^130m Cs. Comparison of excited levels known in the odd-odd nuclei of the same region shows that more experimental informations are needed to propose a clear and realistic picture of the nuclear states structure.

Low-lying levels and high-spin band structures in 102Rh

Levels in ¹⁰²Rh have been populated in the reaction ⁷⁰Zn+³⁶S at 130 MeV. The level structure of ¹⁰²Rh has been investigated using the EUROGAM II array. Low-lying states and four high-spin bands have been identified. The configurations of low-lying levels and two-quasiparticle bands are interpreted in the frame of the interacting boson-fermion-fermion model. The four observed band structures are also compared with cranked shell model calculations using a modified oscillator potential.     

Electronic properties and compton profiles of silver iodide

We have carried out an extensive study of electronic properties of silver iodide in β- and γ-phases. The theoretical Compton profiles, energy bands, density of states and anisotropies in momentum densities are computed using density functional theories. We have also employed full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method to derive the energy bands and the density of states. To compare our theoretical data, isotropic Compton profile measurement on γ-AgI using ¹³⁷Cs Compton spectrometer at an intermediate resolution of 0.38 a.u. has been undertaken. The theoretical anisotropies are also interpreted on the basis of energy bands.     

Bond contraction in monolayers: 2d-hexagonal Cs

The first ab-initio all-electron theoretical/computational study of the energetics of a hexagonal Cs monolayer reveals that the CsCs nearest neighbor distance in the monolayer is reduced by about 11% compared with the corresponding distance in bulk Cs. This finding is in excellent agreement with measurements of the packing density of a hexagonal Cs overlayer on a W(110) surface. Model calculations show that this contraction is related to the formation of bands and the polarizability of the Cs 5p semi-core states.     

Electronic structure of ultrathin Cs coatings on a Si(100)2×1 surface

The electronic structure and ionization energy of submonolayer Cs coatings on a Si(100)2×1 surface is investigated by threshold photo-emission spectroscopy. Two surface bands induced by Cs adsorption are observed, and their evolution is studied as a function of coverage. It is found that there are two “adsorption locations” for Cs atoms, where they interact with active dangling bonds at the surface. It has been determined that the Cs/Si(100)2×1 interface is semiconducting all the way down to monolayer coverage. The results show that Cs adsorption is predominantly of a covalent character.
