Stability of (3)He(2)(4)He(n) and (3)He(3)(4)He(n) L=0 clusters

We have studied the stability of mixed (3)He/(4)He clusters in L=0 states by the diffusion Monte Carlo method, employing the Tang-Toennies-Yiu He-He potential. The clusters (3)He(4)He(N) and (3)He(2)(4)He(N) are stable for N>1. The lighter atoms tend to move to the surface of the cluster. The minimum number of 4He atoms able to bind three 3He atoms in a L=0 state is nine. Two of three fermionic helium atoms stay on the surface, while the third one penetrates into the cluster.     

Investigation of (n, 2n) reactions by the evaporation process

The (n, 2n) cross sections for about 80 nuclei ranging fromA=45 to 209 were calculated using the evaporation model. The calculation was performed for incident energiesE _n which satisfy the conditionU _R =E _n +Q _n ,2n=6±1 MeV. For 11 nuclei in the above mass region, (n, 2n) excitation functions were calculated from threshold to 20 MeV. In all calculations a single set of input parameters was consistently used. The influence of the level-density parameter and neutron cross sections on the evaporation model was tested. All calculated results were compared with experimental data. The systematic discrepancy between experimental data and evaporation calculations leads to the necessity of introducing the preequilibrium emission mechanism.     

The Rotational Spectra, Isotopically Independent Parameters, and Interatomic Potentials for the X(1)(2)Pi(3/2) and X(2)(2)Pi(1/2) States of BrO

Observations of the rotational spectrum of BrO have been extended to include vibrational levels up to v = 8 in the X(1)(2)Pi(3/2) and v = 7 in the X(2)(2)Pi(1/2) states. The rotational spectra of isotopically enriched Br(18)O, X(1), v = 0, 1 and X(2), v = 0 have been observed as well. The spectra of all four isotopic species have been fit to a Hamiltonian in which the parameters have fixed isotopic ratios. An extensive set of isotopically independent parameters has been determined. Interatomic potentials have been derived for both the X(1) and X(2) states. The hyperfine constants and their vibrational dependencies have been determined more precisely and several of them have been determined for the first time. These are interpreted in terms of the electronic structure of the molecule. The isotope relations among the constants have provided a means of decorrelating the electron spin-rotation constant gamma from the fine-structure centrifugal distortion constant, A(D), and have allowed the first determination of an effective value for gamma.

Diffraction of trapped (CsI)(n)Cs+: the appearance of bulk structure

We report an investigation of (CsI)(n)Cs (+) cluster structures (n = 30-39) studied using the recently developed technique of trapped ion electron diffraction. Contributions to diffraction from both rock salt (NaCl) and cesium chloride lattice (CsCl) derived isomeric structures are observed at size n = 32. This size can form a closed shell rhombic dodecahedron corresponding to the CsI bulk structure. All other sizes, n not equal32, are dominated by the NaCl structure. Density functional calculations and molecular dynamic simulations identify the presence of a stable CsCl lattice derived structure isomer which is consistent with these results.     

Path integral Monte Carlo study of(H_2)_n@C_(70)(n = 1, 2, 3)

The path integral Monte Carlo(PIMC) method is employed to study the thermal properties of C70 with one, two,and three H2 molecules confined in the cage, respectively. The interaction energies and vibrationally averaged spatial distributions under different temperatures are calculated to evaluate the stabilities of(H2)n@C70(n = 1, 2, 3). The results show that(H2)2@C70is more stable than H2@C70. The interaction energy slowly changes in a large temperature range,so temperature has little effect on the stability of the system. For H2@C70and(H2)2@C70, the interaction energies keep negative; however, when three H2 molecules are in the cage, the interaction energy rapidly increases to a positive value.This implies that at most two H2 molecules can be trapped by C70. With an increase of temperature, the peak of the spatial distribution gradually shifts away from the center of the cage, but the maximum distance from the center of H2 molecule to the cage center is much smaller than the average radius of C70.     

Accurate prediction of large antiferromagnetic interactions in high- T(c) HgBa2Ca(n-1)Cu(n)O(2n+2+delta) ( n = 2,3) superconductor parent compounds

The in-plane nearest-neighbor Heisenberg magnetic coupling constant, J, of La2CuO4, Nd2CuO4, Sr2CuO2Cl2, YBa2Cu3O6, and undoped HgBa(2)Ca(n-1)Cu(n)O(2n+2+delta) ( n = 1,2,3) is calculated from accurate ab initio configuration interaction calculations. For the first four compounds, the theoretical J values are in quantitative agreement with experiment. For the Hg-based compounds the predicted values are -135 meV ( n = 1) and approximately -160 meV ( n = 2,3), the latter being much larger than in previous cases and, for n = 3, increasing with pressure. Nevertheless, the physics governing J in all these layered cuprates appears to be the same. Moreover, calculations suggest a possible relationship between J and T(c).     

51V-NMR and (51)T(1)(T) of charge ordering and spin gap in alpha'-NaV(2)O(5)

We report the interpretation of the first (51)V data on the low-temperature phase of alpha'-NaV(2)O(5) which presents more than two vanadium valences and compare the data to structural models. The influence of the dependence of the line positions on very small amounts of Na substitution by Ca and Li is reported and discussed. The doping and orientation dependence of the spin gap as seen by (51)T(1) is documented, the evidence points towards a significant anisotropy in the nature of the gap which is sensitive to doping.     

用直接中子法测量（n, 2n）反应截面的实验方法研究

在中国原子能科学研究院HI-13 串列加速器上的非常规多探测器快中子飞行时间谱仪上,采用直接中子法测量了14.3 MeV 中子与169Tm作用的(n,2n) 反应截面。用蒙特卡罗方法模拟了次级中子的产生,以对实验数据进行中子注量率衰减、多次散射和有限几何修正,同时结合SUNF 方法得到的评价能谱,给出了(n,2n) 反应截面的实验测量结果。测量截面以中子弹性散射微分截面作为标准截面来归一,并用反冲质子望远镜测量n-p 反应的反冲质子,以监视中子注量率。用直接中子法测量得到的结果与评价数据进行了比较,讨论了采用这种方法测量(n,2n) 反应截面的可行性。(n,2n) reaction cross section from 169Tm at 14.3 MeV was measured with the direct emittedneutron coincidence detecting method, using abnormal fast neutron TOF spectrometer on the HI-13 Tandem Accelerator at CIAE. Monte-Carlo method was used to simulate the generation of secondary neutron and correct the experimental data considering neutron flux attenuation, multiple scattering and finite geometry correction. Combining with evaluated spectra given by SUNF program, the experimental measurement results of the (n,2n) reaction cross sections were given. Cross sections of measurements were normalized by using neutron elastic scattering differential cross section as a standard section, and a recoil proton telescope was used to measure recoiling proton from the n-p reaction to monitor neutron flux rate. After comparing the experimental results with evaluated data, the feasibility of the direct emitted-neutron coincidence detecting method is discussed.     

Negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy of 2,2’-bithiophene cluster anions, (2T)n - (n = 1–100)

Cluster anions of 2,2’-bithiophene, (2T)_n^-, were produced up to n ∼500 in the gas-phase. The energetics of the excess electron in the (2T)_n^- clusters with n =1-100 were explored by negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy. When the vertical detachment energies (VDEs) obtained from the photoelectron spectra were analyzed by a plot against n^-1/3, it has been revealed that the excess electron trapping level thus extrapolated is located at ∼0.8 eV below the conduction band minimum (i.e. LUMO) of the 2T thin film. The large slope of the VDEs vs. n^-1/3 plot suggests that the neutral 2T molecules surrounding the anion core take non-planar twisted conformations with permanent dipole moments, resulting in the exceedingly deep trapping of the excess electron in the 2T cluster anions.

Ab initio many-body calculations of the (3)H(d,n)(4)He and (3)He(d,p)(4)He fusion reactions

We apply the ab initio no-core shell model combined with the resonating-group method approach to calculate the cross sections of the (3)H(d,n)(4)He and (3)He(d,p)(4)He fusion reactions. These are important reactions for the big bang nucleosynthesis and the future of energy generation on Earth. Starting from a selected similarity-transformed chiral nucleon-nucleon interaction that accurately describes two-nucleon data, we performed many-body calculations that predict the S factor of both reactions. Virtual three-body breakup effects are obtained by including excited pseudostates of the deuteron in the calculation. Our results are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data and pave the way for microscopic investigations of polarization and electron-screening effects, of the (3)H(d,γn)(4)He bremsstrahlung and other reactions relevant to fusion research.

Fluorescence Excitation Spectrum of a (2)Pi(3/2)-(2)Pi(3/2) Transition of NiF

In this study, a supersonic beam of NiF was produced by the reaction of SF(6) with a dc discharge-sputtering source of nickel atoms. The laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectrum of a (2)Pi(3/2)-(2)Pi(3/2) transition has been recorded in the range of 500-520 nm and rotational structure of 506.5-nm band analyzed under the 30 K rotational temperature. Our data are consistent with a (2)Pi(3/2) ground state for NiF. The lifetime of this band is measured. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

In the scheme of the dispersion approach with Feynman graphs to nuclear reactions, we study the reaction d(p, 2p)n at low energy using a polar graph. For the energy dependence of the scattering peak and for the normalization factor, the results of our calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Determination of the Parameters of Atmospheric Contaminations by Active Radar Methods at Rotational Spectrum Frequencies of the Contaminating Molecules

We show that the coordinates, the radius of a gas bubble (plume), and the average concentration of a contaminating gas can be determined by measuring the attenuation of the sounding-radiation power in the controlled environment at the frequencies of the rotational spectrum of gas molecules and that the atmospheric contamination composition can be analyzed by varying the probing radiation frequency in the appropriate band. The possibility of retrieval of the distribution function of contaminating gas concentration from the analysis of a radar image of the underlying surface is demonstrated.
