Helical magnetic structure in CrB2

A cycloidal magnetic structure was discovered in CrB₂ by neutron diffraction using a thin single crystal plate prepared with natural boron. The propagation vector was determined to be τ = 0.285 τ₁₁₀. The magnetic moments of a magnitude of 0.5 ± 0.1μ_B turn in the a?c plane.     

Proton capture by 11B above the giant resonance

The cross sections for proton capture by ¹¹B to the ground and excited states of ¹²C have been measured in the proton energy interval between 18 and 43 MeV. The ground-state cross section shows good agreement with theoretical calculations including correlations. Capture photons have also been observed to all the residual 1p-1h states of ¹²C having a dominant $\text{1}\text{p}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ hole: the corresponding cross sections systematically show a giant resonance whose energy increases with the increasing excitation energy of the “background” level. The resonances at 27.4, 31, 33.2, 37 and 43 MeV, seem to show observable interference effects.     

Magnetic field dependence of 11B NMR in CeB6

The ¹¹B nuclear magnetic resonance in a dense Kondo system CeB₆ has been observed by the spin echo technique below 4.2 K at fixed frequencies of 2.5, 6.5, 13.33 and 18.00 MHz, which correspond to magnetic fields of 1.83, 4.76, 9.76 and 13.18 KOe for the free ¹¹B nucleus, respectively. The spectra in the phase II appeared to have two peaks in the magnetic field applied in the [111] direction, the spacing of which was found to be very small in zero external field and increased monotonically (up to 0.11 kOe at 2.6 K) with increasing field. On the other hand, the spectra in the phase III were complex. Especially, the spectra observed for [111] at 6.5 MHz were found to spread over 1.9 KOe and to have several peaks. From comparison between the experiments and the dipolar field calculation based on the recent neutron diffraction measurements, possible magnetic structures were examined for the phases II and III.

Study of 11B at high excitations with the 9Be(3He,p)11B and 9Be(α, d)11B reactions

The nucleus ¹¹B has been studied over the excitation energy range from 8.5 MeV to 21.5 MeV with the ⁹Be(³He, p)¹¹B / reaction at / E_{³He = 38 MeV}. The analogs of the parent states in ¹¹Be have been located at 12.56, 12.92, 14.40, 16.44, 17.69, 18.0, 19.15 and 21.27 MeV. A complementary measurement with the ⁹Be(α, d)¹¹B reaction at E_α = 48 MeV demonstrates that the 16.44, 17.69, 18.0 and 19.15 MeV resonances have rather pure isospin $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{f}}\text{=}\text{3}\text{2}$. The 14.40 MeV state is a strongly isospin-mixed analog of the $\text{5}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{1.78}\text{MeV}$ state in ¹¹Be. It is argued that spin S = 1 transfer is involved in the excitation of the 16.44 MeV state and its 3.887 MeV parent in ¹¹Be in a two-step stripping process. The $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{f}}\text{=}\text{1}\text{2}$ states and the lowest three $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{f}}\text{=}\text{3}\text{2}$ states are compared with the predictions of DWBA utilizing shell-model form factors. It is concluded that the $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{f}}\text{=}\text{1}\text{2}$ strength is more strongly fragmented than is implied by the calculations of Teeters and Kurath.     

Evidence for assignment of 14.0 MeV state in 11B from 10B(n,n)10B

The differential cross section and polarization for neutrons scattered from ¹⁰B have been measured at E_n = 2.63 MeV (E_x = 13.85 MeV). The results of this experiment and other available neutron scattering data in the range 1 < E_n < 4 MeV are interpreted through a single-level R-matrix calculation over the region 12 < E_x < 15 MeV. Based on this analysis the most probable J^π assignment for the 14.0 MeV level in ¹¹B is $\text{11}\text{2}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$. The anomaly near E_x = 13.1 MeV can only be explained in terms of two overlapping levels having assignments of ($\text{5}\text{2}$, $\text{7}\text{2}$)^? and ($\text{3}\text{2}$, $\text{5}\text{2}$, $\text{7}\text{2}$)⁺.     

Structure study of 12B from the elastic scattering of neutrons from 11B

Differential cross sections for neutrons scattered from ¹¹B have been measured for 2.2 MeV < E_n < 4.5 MeV. The differential cross section σ(θ) is fitted reasonably well by R-matrix parameters for broad states in ¹²B with assignments 1 ^? and (1) ⁺ at excitation energies E_x = 5.8 and 6.8 MeV respectively. The broad 1 ^? state has not been previously observed and is believed to be the 1 ^? member of the $\text{1}\text{p}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{1}\text{d}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ particle-hole multiplet predicted to exist by earlier shell model calculations. Its existence completes the identification of all of the levels of this multiplet (3 ^?, 2 ^?, 4 ^?, 1 ^?). The broad (1)⁺ level at E_x = 6.8 MeV has not been previously observed. States at excitation energies E_x = 5.61, 5.73 and 6.6 MeV have been assigned spins and parities of 3⁺, 3^? and (1)⁺ respectively. These states had previously been assigned spins of 2, 3 and $\text{≧ 1}$ respectively. Work on T = 1 states in ¹²C¹ has been compared with the present work.

11B nuclear quadrupole interaction in metal hexaborides (MB6)

The magnitude of the electric field gradient at the boron nucleus, ¦eq¦, in divalent- and trivalent-metal hexaborides (MB₆) as well as in mixed-valent SmB₆ has been measured by the nuclear magnetic resonance method. In each group of divalent- and trivalent-metal hexaborides, ¦eq¦ decreases remarkably with increasing lattice parameter. At a given lattice parameter, ¦eq¦ for the trivalent-metal hexaborides is smaller than that for the divalent-metal hexaborides. The value of ¦eq¦ for SmB₆ is situated between those for the divalent- and trivalentmetal hexaborides. On the basis of these results, the electronic structure of the hexaborides is discussed.     

Nuclear reactions of 24 MeV 7Li on 10B

The charged-particle reaction channels accessible in the bombardment of ¹⁰B targets by ⁷Li nuclei of 24 MeV incident energy are investigated by measuring all ejectiles up to Be. Except for tritons, the reactions with light ejectiles proceed mainly via the formation of a compound nucleus, whereas some of the reactions with ejectiles heavier than the α-particle can be described by a direct mechanism.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance of 55Mn and 75As in MnAs

Four sets of NMR signals, two each, from ⁵⁵Mn and ⁷⁵As nuclei have been observed. The temperature dependences of ⁵⁵Mn resonances have been studied from 77 to 311 K and that of ⁷⁵As, from 77 K to about 250 K. The results show that there is a phase transition at T₁ ≈ 220 K. This transition may be due to introduction of a local spontaneous distortion in the region of the domain walls in the lattice, resulting in lowering of symmetry at low temperatures. Another possibility is the canting of spins which would lower the magnetic group symmetry. The observed resonances have been assigned to arise from the nuclei at the edge and the centre of the domain walls at temperatures T >T₁ and from two types of wall edges with inequivalent orientation of atomic spins at T < T₁. The isotropic hyperfine field at 0 K obtained by extrapolating the resonance frequencies are 227 and 285.1 kOe at ⁵⁵As nuclei, respectively. The anisotropy in the hyperfine field is nearly zero at ⁵⁵Mn nuclei and about 5.8 kOe at ⁷⁵As nuclei at 0 K.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of 73Ge in Ge[Co2]O4

Nuclear magnetic resonance of ⁷³Ge in Ge[Co₂]O₄ was investigated between 77°K and 290°K. Analysis on resonance shifts showed a presence of considerable everlap between the oxygen and germanium ions, suggesting the long-range superexchange interaction via CoOGeOCo paths.     

The compound nucleus reaction 12C(11B, 2α) 15N

Energy spectra and differential cross sections of nitrogen products formed in the reaction 28 MeV ¹¹B + ¹²C have been measured using a ΔE?E counter telescope. The energy spectra are smooth and therefore indicate that the nitrogen products were formed by a compound nucleus mechanism, via the formation and decay of the compound nucleus ²³Na. The experimental results are compared with statistical model calculations and good agreement is obtained. This result provides further evidence for the importance of the compound nucleus mechanism in heavy ion reactions with light nuclei and also gives added validity to the statistical model for light compound systems.     

Fusion and neutron-transfer cross sections for 13C + 10B and 13C + 11B reactions at subbarrier energies

The cross sections for the ¹⁰B(¹³C, ¹²C)¹¹B neutron-transfer reaction, leading to the ¹¹B 4.45 and 6.74 MeV and ¹²C 4.44 MeV excited states, and for ¹³C + ¹⁰B fusion have been measured by the characteristic and total γ-ray yield methods, respectively, over the energy (c.m.) interval 2.4–5.8 MeV. For ¹³C + ¹¹B, with no transfer reactions present, the fusion cross sections have been measured between E_c.m. = 2.3 and 6.4 MeV. The fusion cross sections for ¹³C + ¹⁰B and ¹³C + ¹¹B are found to be almost equal and slightly enhanced with respect to those for ¹²C + ¹⁰B and ¹²C + ¹¹B.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance of 131I and 132I oriented in Fe

Nuclear magnetic resonance has been applied to radioactive I nuclei oriented in Fe. By field shifting the ¹³¹I resonance the hyperfine field is determined as positive. The ¹³¹I resonance at 683.3 ± 1.0 MHz and the ¹³²I resonance at 674.0 ± 0.5 MHz give H_int = 1144.0 ± 1.5 kOe.     

The 26Mg(14N, 10B)30Si and 26Mg(14N, 11B)29Si reactions

Reactions induced by ¹⁴N on ²⁶Mg at bombarding energies of 60–95 MeV have been studied. Angular distributions for states populated in ²⁹Si by the (¹⁴N, ¹¹B) reaction and in ³⁰Si by the (¹⁴N, ¹⁰B) reaction have been compared with Hauser-Feshbach and DWBA calculations to determine the reaction mechanism and to deduce spectroscopic information. The cross sections for the states populated in ²⁹Si and ³⁰Si are in poor agreement with statistical model calculations, indicating a non-compound nucleus mechanism.
