Z′ in the 3-3-1 model

Phenomenological implications of the Z′ in SU(3) × SU(3) × U(1) extension of the standard model are studied. We find that the current experimental value of R_b puts severe constraints on the Z′ mass in this model. The model improves slightly the fit for large E_T jet cross section observed by CDF.     

Debye Temperature of the MgCNi3 Superconductor

We have determined the Dabye temperature of the MgCNi3 superconductor by using the Rietveld refinement method based on the powder x-ray diffraction data.MgCNi3 crystallizes in the cubic perovskite structure with space group Pm3m and lattice constant a=3.8089A.The temperature factors of the atoms Mg,C and Ni are 0.52,0.45 and 0.44,respectively.The Debye temperature of MgCNi3 is calculated to be ΘD=440K.     

Resonant structure due to the 3p→3d transition in the photoionization of Ca+

Many-body perturbation theory has been used to calculate the resonance structure (3p→3d) into the photoionization (4s→kp) for ion Ca⁺. This resonance structure results from the interference between a photoionization process or a photoionization with excitation process and a resonant Auger process. The coupled equation method has been improved to calculate this interference by the summation of specific classes of diagrams of perturbation theory to infinite order. The resonance structure in the region of the 3p threshold is enhanced via a super-Coster–Kronig transition. The theoretical results are in good agreement with experiment.     

First principles study on the ferroelectricity of the perovskite ABO3 ferroelectrics

In order to understand well the different ferroelectric behaviour of quantum paraelectrics and ferroelectrics and the origin of the ferroelectricity of the solid solution KTa0.5Nb0.5O3(KTN),we calculated the electronic structure of CaTiO3,BaTiO3 and KTN by first principles calculation.From total energy analysis,it is shown that,with increasing cell volume,the crystals (CaTiO3,SrTiO3) will have a ferroelectric instability.For BaTiO3,the ferroelectricity will disappear as the cell volume is decreased.From the density of states analysis,it is shown that the hybridization between B d and O p is very important for the ferroelectric stability of ABO3 perovskite ferroelectrics.This is consistent with the analysis of band structure.

Using three dimension MCNP code and FENDL2.0 data library, neutronics calculation for a HCSB (helium cooling solid breeder) TBM (test blanket module) with 3×3 sub-modules has been performed. Local tritium breeding ratio (TBR) of 0.907, total tritium generation rate of 0.0175g·d-1, peak power density of 9.27MW·m-3 and total power deposit of 0.422MW·m-3 are obtained under neutron wall loading of 0.78MW·m-2 and duty factor of 22%.

Atomic parity violation in the economical 3–3–1 model

The deviation δQW$\delta Q_{\mathrm{W}}$ of the weak charge from its standard model prediction due to the mixing of the W boson with the charged bilepton Y as well as of the Z   boson with the neutral Z^′$Z^{\prime }$ and the real part of the non-Hermitian neutral bilepton X   in the economical 3–3–1 model is established. Additional contributions to the usual δQW$\delta Q_{\mathrm{W}}$ expression in the extra U(1)$\mathrm{U}(1)$ models and the left–right models are obtained. Our calculations are quite different from previous analyzes in this kind of the 3–3–1 models and give the limit on mass of the Z^′$Z^{\prime }$ boson, the Z–Z^′$Z\text{–}{Z}^{\prime }$ and W–Y$W\text{–}Y$ mixing angles with the more appropriate values: MZ^′>564 GeV$M_{Z^{\prime }}>564\text{GeV}$, −0.018<sinφ<0$-0.018<\sin \phi <0$ and |sinθ|<0.043$|\sin \theta |<0.043$.     

Some comments on the π-3He-3H coupling constant

Some comments are made on recent determinations of the -³He-³H coupling constant. It is pointed out how the impulse approximation and the elementary particle method treat differently two step processes like radiative pion or muon capture and photo pion production.Presented at the symposium Mesons and Light Nuclei, Liblice, Czechoslovakia, June 1981.This work is part of the research program of the Stichting FOM, financially supported by the Stichting Z.

Diffusion mechanisms in the Fe3Si alloys

In this paper,the possible reascon for the high thermal vacancy concentration and the low migration barriers for the Fe atorn diffusion in the stoichiometric DO3 structure Fe3Si have been discussed.The high thermal vacancy conenrrarion was attributed to the compression of Fe-Fe atcmic pairs and the tension of Fe-Si atomic pairs in Fe75Si25.The deformations (compression or tensicn)of the atompairs incrcase the interatomic potentials and thus dercrease the enthalpies of vacancy formation.The low minration bamiers for the Fe atom diffusion in Fe75Si25 were related to the symmetric property of the triangualar bamiers.Additionally.it was considered that the Si atoms in Fe3Si could probably migrate via nearest-neighbour jumps without disturbing the long-range order of atomic arrangements,provided that during the diffusion process the residence time on the antistructure sites is very short.     

New Infrared Properties of the Tetragonal CaTiO3

First-principle calculations are performed to study the infrared optical and electronic properties of the tetragonal CaTiO3. We find that dielectric function and reflectivity exhibit a new single-peak infrared spectrum. It is shown that strong orbital hybridization can form the dipole distribution of covalent bonds (Ti-O1 and Ti-O2)and can result in anomalous optical behaviour. The tetragonal structure that determines the dipole configuration and leads to the optical dipole-dipole transition forbidden is therefore realized to be vital to cause such optical phenomena with the insulator feature.     

What is the physics behind the 3He–4He anomaly?

We show that coalescence of nucleons emitted prior to thermalization in highly excited nuclei can explain the anomaly of kinetic energies of helium clusters. A new coalescence algorithm has been included in the statistical approach to nuclear reactions formerly used to describe intermediate mass fragment production.

Pressure-Broadened Linewidth Measurements in the ν2Band of the CH3Radical

Pressure broadening coefficients for an infrared transition of the methyl radical have been measured for the first time. CH₃radicals, generated by pyrolyzing di-tert-butyl peroxide in a flow of either N₂or Ar, were probed using a tunable diode laser and a multipass absorption cell. The Lorentz half-width of theQ(6,6) line of the ν₂band of CH₃at 607.024 cm⁻¹was measured as a function of pressure at 295 K. The broadening coefficients (HWHM) areb(Ar) = 0.0310 ± 0.0012 cm⁻¹atm⁻¹andb(N₂) = 0.0390 ± 0.0020 cm⁻¹atm⁻¹. These coefficients are lower than those for CH₄–Ar, N₂broadening. This may be due to a lower polarizability or smaller effective hard collision diameter for CH₃relative to CH₄.
