Partial photoionization cross sections and angular distributions for double excitation of helium up to the N = 13 threshold

Partial photoionization cross sections sigmaN(Egamma) and photoelectron angular distributions betaN(Egamma) were measured for the final ionic states He+ (N > 4) in the region between the N = 8 and N = 13 thresholds (Egamma > 78.155 eV) using the cold target recoil ion momentum spectroscopy technique (COLTRIMS). Comparison of the experimental data with two independent sets of theoretical predictions reveals disagreement for the branching ratios to the various HeN(+) states. The angular distributions just below the double ionization threshold suggest an excitation process for highly excited N states similar to the Wannier mechanism for double ionization.     

Cun(n=2-20)团簇的稳定性和电子性质的密度泛函研究

采用密度泛函理论中的PW91/DNP方法研究了Cun(n=2~20)团簇的稳定性和电子性质。结果表明：在n=2~8区间,平均结合能曲线几乎呈现线性增长;在n=9~20区间,平均结合能曲线相对较平缓。Cun(n=4, 7, 8, 17)团簇相对较稳定。Cun(n=2, 4, 8, 13, 19)团簇的能隙值相对较大,化学活性较弱。在n=2~20区间,垂直电离能略微大于绝热电离能, 绝热亲和能略微大于垂直亲和能。在n=2~9区间,电离能曲线呈现出显著的奇—偶振荡效应,即n为偶数团簇的电离能比临近奇数团簇的要大;亲和能曲线呈现出同电离能曲线相反的奇—偶振荡效应。

XF3 ( X = N, P, As )分子价层电离势的三阶代数图-表构建法计算

应用三阶代数图-表构建法(third-order algebraic diagrammatic construction scheme 简写为ADC(3) )计算了XF3(X=N, P, As)的价层垂直电离势(VIP)。结果表明：内壳层电子关联对电离主峰位置影响非常小;来自不同理论结果的分子结构对电离主峰位置有较小影响;基组差异则表现的非常明显。由计算值和实验结果比较可知：在实验分子结构和cc-pVDZ基组下, 应用ADC(3)得到的电离势与实验值整体上差距最小;ADC(3)计算的第一电离势往往小于实验值约0.4～0.8 eV, 其余主峰位置与实验值差距约0.01～0.3 eV;随基组增大,ADC(3)结果与实验值偏差明显增大。因此, 利用ADC(3)方法计算价层电离势时,建议使用价层电子关联,基组则采用cc-pVDZ或DZP, 结构实验外也可直接从实验或耦合簇、密度泛函等理论获得。     

Structures and stabilities of endo- and exohedral Si20H20 derivatives: X@Si20H20 and XSi20H20, X = H + , H,N, P,C − , and Si −

Geometries, relative energies, and stabilities of endo- and exohedral complexes, X@Si₂₀H₂₀ and XSi₂₀H₂₀, (X = H⁺, H, N, P, C^?, and Si^?) are calculated at B3LYP/6-31G* level. The energy minimum structure of Si₂₀H₂₁ ⁺ shows that the proton cannot be positioned in the Si₂₀H₂₀ centre, but prefers attach to Si₂₀H₂₀ exohedrally with C_2v symmetry. Most investigated I_h endohedral complexes X@Si₂₀H₂₀ (X = H, N, P, C^?, and Si^?) are local minima, except for ²N@Si₂₀H₂₀, which is a high-order saddle point. Inclusions energies of the endohedral complexes are calculated, and it reveals that energy penalties caused by encapsulation are rather small. Exohedral complexes XSi₂₀H₂₀ (X = H, N, P, C^?, and Si^?) have C_2v or C_s local minima, and most of them are more stable than their endohedral isomers with the exception of C_2v ⁴PSi₂₀H₂₀ and ⁴Si^?Si₂₀H₂₀.

利用冷靶反冲离子动量谱仪,对低能He²⁺-He碰撞反应中产生的反冲靶离子和炮弹离子进行了符合测量,根据反冲靶离子的动量,研究了转移电离过程中的电荷转移机理.实验结果表明：在20—40 keV能量范围内,靶原子上的一个电子俘获到炮弹离子的基态,另一个电子直接发射到靶的连续态的直接电离及另一个电子俘获到炮弹离子的连续态的过程(ECC)是最主要的转移电离机理,且ECC过程主要发生在大碰撞参数条件下;炮弹离子俘获两个电子处在双激发态的自电离过程的贡献很小. 关键词： 冷靶反冲离子动量谱仪 转移电离机理 离子原子碰撞     

0+ states near the N = 20 neutron shell from Ar(t,p) reactions

The (t, p) reactions leading to ^38,40,42Ar and ⁴²Ca have been used to study the 0⁺ level spectrum near the N = 20 neutron closed shell. The Ar isotopes show a significant reduction and fragmentation of the L = 0 (t, p) strength relative to Ca. A major change in the structure of the 0⁺ levels thus takes place between Ca and Ar.     

Evolution of N=28 shell closure in relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov theory

The N = 28 shell gap in sulfur, argon, calcium and titanium isotopes is investigated in the framework of relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov(RCHB) theory. The evolutions of neutron shell gap, separation energy,single particle energy and pairing energy are analyzed, and it is found that the N = 28 shell gap is quenched in sulfur isotopes but persists in argon, calcium and titanium isotopes. The evolution of the N = 28 shell gap in the N = 28 isotonic chain is discussed, and the erosion of the N = 28 shell gap is understood with the evolution of potential with proton number.     

Evolution of the N = 20 and N = 28 shell closures in neutron-rich nuclei

The isospin dependence of shell closure phenomena is studied for light neutron-rich nuclei within a microscopic self-consistent approach using the Gogny force. Introducing configuration mixing, ³²Mg is found to be dynamically deformed, although the N = 20 spherical shell closure persists at the mean-field level for all N = 20 isotones. In contrast, the N = 28 spherical shell closure is found to disappear for N - Z≥ 10 whereas deformed shell closures are preserved and lead to shape coexistence in ⁴⁴ S. Configuration mixing shows that the ground state of this nucleus is triaxially deformed. The first 2⁺ excitation energy E_x = 1.46 MeV and the reduced transition probability B(E2;0⁺ _gs→ 2⁺ ₁)= 420 e ² fm ⁴ obtained with our approach are in good agreement with experimental data.

Electon spectroscopy using exeted atoms and photons of Penning ionization of the rare gases

A study has been made of the Penning ionization electron spectra resulting from collisions between rare gas atoms and helium metastable atoms. The results are compared and contrasted with photoelectron spectra at 584 Å. Additional bands appear in the electron spectra and are explained on the basis of fast neutral-neutral collisions involving curve crossing mechanisms. Electron spectra from mixed rare gas systems at higher pressures are examined.     

Shell evolution at N=20 in the constrained relativistic mean field approach

The shell evolution at N = 20, a disappearing neutron magic number observed experimentally in very neutron-rich nuclides, is investigated in the constrained relativistic mean field (RMF) theory. The trend of the shell closure observed experimentally towards the neutron drip-line can be reproduced. The predicted two-neutron separation energies, neutron shell gap energies and deformation parameters of ground states are shown as well. These results are compared with the recent Hartree-Fock-Bogliubov (HFB-14) model and the available experimental data. The perspective towards a better understanding of the shell evolution is discussed.

N = 14 shell closure in 22O viewed through a neutron sensitive probe

To investigate the behavior of the N = 14 neutron gap far from stability with a neutron-sensitive probe, proton elastic and 2(1)+ inelastic scattering angular distributions for the neutron-rich nucleus 22O were measured using the MUr à STrip detector array at the Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds facility. A deformation parameter beta(p,p') = 0.26 +/- 0.04 is obtained for the 2(1)+ state, much lower than in 20O, showing a weak neutron contribution to this state. A microscopic analysis was performed using matter and transition densities generated by continuum Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov and quasiparticle random phase approximation calculations, respectively. The ratio of neutron to proton contributions to the 2(1)+ state is found close to the N/Z ratio, demonstrating a strong N = 14 shell closure in the vicinity of the neutron drip line.     

Vanishing N = 20 shell gap: study of excited states in (27,28)Ne

This Letter reports on the (1)H((28)Ne, (28)Ne) and (1)H((28)Ne, (27)Ne) reactions studied at intermediate energy using a liquid hydrogen target. From the cross section populating the first 2(+) excited state of (28)Ne, and using the previously determined BE(2) value, the neutron quadrupole transition matrix element has been calculated to be M(n)=13.8 +/- 3.7 fm(2). In the neutron knockout reaction, two low-lying excited states were populated in (27)Ne. Only one of them can be interpreted by the sd shell model while the additional state may intrude from the fp shell. These experimental observations are consistent with the presence of fp shell configurations at low excitation energy in (27,28)Ne nuclei caused by a vanishing N=20 shell gap at Z=10.

Radiative electron capture to the continuum and the short-wavelength limit of electron-nucleus bremsstrahlung in 90A MeV U88 + ((1s2)(2s2))+N2 Collisions

We have measured the continuum momentum distribution for radiative electron capture to the continuum (RECC) cusp electrons in 90A MeV U88+ + N2-->U88+ + N2 +* + ecusp(0 degrees ) + hnu (RECC) collisions. We demonstrate that x rays coincident with RECC cusp electrons originate from the short-wavelength limit of the electron-nucleus bremsstrahlung and explain the asymmetric cusp shape by comparison with theory within the relativistic impulse approximation.

Research on neutron-rich nuclei in the region of the nuclear shells N=20 and N=28

The results of the joint experiments carried out by the Dubna-GANIL (France) and the Dubna-RIKEN (Japan) collaborations aimed at synthesizing new isotopes close to the neutron shells N=20 and N=28 and at studying their properties are presented. Gamma-spectroscopic methods were used to study low-lying states in ^30,32Mg, ^26–28Ne, ²²O, and ¹⁸C. The ratios E(4⁺)/E(2⁺) were determined. A direct method was used to measure the masses of 20 nuclides located between the shells N=20 and N=28. The decay properties were determined for ³⁰Ne and ^26,27,29F. Information obtained in this way suggests the existence of a deformation close to the neutron shell N=20. The results of experiments devoted to searches for the doubly magic nucleus ²⁸O are also presented. Only the upper limit on the cross section for its production was deduced, which can be taken as evidence of its instability.     

Shell-model calculations for the semi-magic nucleus ~(85)Br and systematic features of the N = 50 odd-A isotones

Level structures of ~(85)Br have been investigated using the shell-model code nushellx within a large model space containing the neutron-core excitations across the N = 50 closed shell. The calculated results have been compared with the available experimental data. Reasonable agreement between the experimental and calculated values is obtained, which indicates that the neutron-core excitations are essential to reproduce the level structures of ~(85)Br. The systematic features of neutron-core excitations in the N = 50 isotones are investigated.
