Interaction and band structure effects for He on graphite derived from scattering data

Boato, Cantini and Tatarek have derived the surface bound state spectrum from measurements of ⁴He scattering by graphite. We fit their results to a potential V(r) obtained by pairwise summation of Lennard-Jones 6–12 interactions, with the optimal parameters ? = 1.34 meV, σ = 2.75 Å. The maximum-to-minimum wall corrugation Δz = 0.21 Å characteristic of V(r) agrees with the value obtained from diffraction intensity measurements. Predictions are made for the band structure matrix elements for ⁴He and ³He, and for the selective adsorption eigen-values for ³He.     

Temperature dependence of pressure broadening of the N = 1− fine structure oxygen line at 118.75 GHz

The absorption profile of the N = 1− fine structure line of oxygen was recorded by a resonator spectrometer at a frequency range of 110-130 GHz at atmospheric pressure and different temperatures ranging from −21 °C up to +22 °C. Analysis of the observed line shape allowed determination of the temperature dependence of the line pressure broadening. The measured value of the temperature exponent is n = 0.74(5) for self-broadening. Consistency of the measurements is supported by simultaneous measurements of the line intensity, the line mixing parameter and the line center frequency, and by comparison of obtained values with previously known data.     

Infrared spectral radiance of hot HF and DF in the Δv = 1 bands region as seen through an atmospheric path

Individual spectral line parameters of the Δv = 1 HF bands at elevated temperatures have been generated. Line by line, layer by layer, spectral radiance and absorptance calculations have been compared with previous experimental results. The HF lines and a recent compilation of infrared atmospheric spectral line parameters have been used to compute the infrared spectral radiance from a hot HF source and a given atmospheric path on a line by line, layer by layer basis.     

EPR Spectra of Nitrogen in Ultra-Dispersed Diamonds

The analysis of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) line shape of ultra-dispersed diamond (UDD) obtained by conversion of trotyl and hexogen mixture and purified from other phases and metal compounds is carried out. The observed wide line with g = 2.0028 and a line width of 8.7 G is shown to be formed by superposition of three lines with line widths of 15.3, 8.5 and 3 G and with a ratio of integral intensities of 70:30:1. The procedure of decomposition and subtraction of wide lines has revealed the resolved hyperfine structure (HFS) from donor nitrogen with parameters A = 40.8 G and B = 29.2 G. Experimentally obtained dependence of the line width of the exchange line on the concentration of donor nitrogen in synthetic diamonds assumed that variations in line widths of the EPR spectrum components are caused by different local concentration of donor nitrogen due to distribution of nitrogen impurity during crystallization of diamond nanoparticles. EPR spectra of UDD after annealing in vacuum and at high pressures in the range of diamond phase stability are also discussed. At high-pressure annealing above 973 K, the areas with high concentration of defects are graphitized and a narrow Dyson-shape line from conductivity electrons and a resolved HFS from donor nitrogen can be observed without additional treatment of the EPR spectrum.

采用5个针孔配接5块对数螺线晶体单色器方案,研制了一台五通道靶室内置式X射线单色成像器,并利用该成像器在阳加速器上成功获取了铝丝阵负载Z箍缩内爆等离子体的K壳层自辐射五通道单色线谱图像。该成像器结构紧凑,安装调节简便精准,能谱分辨力高（小于1.3 eV）,能够清楚分辨Al的类氦主共振线（1 598.4 eV）和互组合线（1 588.3 eV）,以及类氢主共振线（1729 eV）及其伴线（1 727.7 eV）光谱图像。由于阳加速器驱动能力有限,这些图像均由若干的离散热斑组成,并且大都集中在柱状等离子体轴线上,说明这些热斑附近的电子温度和密度较周围要高;类氦主共振线较类氢主共振线图像强度高、热斑区域大,反映了Z箍缩等离子体温度不够高,原子被激发到类氢离子的数量远少于类氦离子。     

Application of pressure broadening theory to the calculation of atmospheric oxygen and water vapor microwave absorption

The problem of the pressure broadening of spectral lines is investigated with respect to the microwave absorption of two terrestrial atmospheric gases, oxygen and water vapor. A formalism and accompanying computational procedures under the impact approximation and using the Liouville (line) Space concept introduced by Baranger and elaborated by Fano are employed. It is desired that the theory would obviate the necessity for specific line shapes, provide a means of computing line widths and account for line overlapping effects from first principles. The present approach is found to be generally adequate for the treatment of O₂ absorption on comparison with experimental data for line widths, absorption coefficients and zenity opacities. While H₂O line widths are satisfactorily predicted, estimated resonance overlapping effects are found to be far from sufficient (accounting for at most ~ 5%) to explain the theoretically controversial anomalous absorption.     

ESR study of fullerene black

Fullerene black before and after annealing at 850°C has been studied by electron spin resonance (ESR). For initial fullerene black, the ESR line exhibits wide wings and its shape is caused by magnetic dipole-dipole interactions between radicals localized randomly on the carbon surface. Dioxygen decreases reversibly the amplitude of the ESR line without changes in its shape, width (0.19 mT) andg-factor (2.0022). This is explained by the assumption that dioxygen molecules adsorbed on the surface broaden strongly ESR lines only of neighboring radicals. For annealed fullerene black, the ESR line is Lorentzian, dioxygen reversibly broadens the line, and theg-factor decreases with the broadening of the line by dioxygen. This is explained by radical-radical and radical-dioxygen spin exchange interactions via conjugated bonds formed in the course of annealing. Flattening of curved carbon surfaces after annealing explains in a uniform way changes in parameters of ESR lines and in reactivity and catalytic activity of fullerene black.     

Role of stray light in the formation of high-resolution resonant photoelectron spectra: an experimental and theoretical study of N2

We show that the undular stray light, diffusely scattered by the optical system of a synchrotron beamline, can play an important role in the formation of high-resolution resonant photoelectron (RPE) spectra. The influence of the stray light is mediated through the Stokes doubling effect, with the Lorentzian tail of the spectral function being replaced by a more complicated form. This effect is shown to appear in the high-resolution resonant photoelectron spectrum of the N₂ molecule in which the spectral shape of the “non-Raman (NR) bands” differs qualitatively for the A²Π_u and X²Σ⁺_g final states. A particularly large enhancement of the non-Raman Stokes line is observed for the A-state while the picture is inverted for the X-state where the non-Raman band is suppressed. It is shown that the resonant photoemission profile is affected by two qualitatively different detunings, the detuning of the monochromatized line relative to the photoabsorption line and the detuning of the undulator harmonic relative to the same reference line. The experimental data show that the relative intensity of the non-Raman line strongly depends on the tuning of the undulator harmonic with respect to the selected monochromator bandpass, leading to a strong decrease of the Stokes line intensity for certain undulator detunings. A clear red-shift asymmetry for the decrease in the Stokes line intensity is observed when the monochromator line is detuned towards negative photon frequencies, whereas the picture is reverted for the situation of a positively detuned monochromator line. The results show the necessity to control the stray light and to investigate both the Raman and non-Raman contributions to the spectral profiles in order to avoid misinterpretation and in order to make full use of the information available in resonant photoemission spectra of molecules.

Auger line shape analysis of Zn3P2

The technique of Auger line shape analysis is applied to Zn₃P₂ single crystal. Zn₃P₂ is a semiconductor that has some potential as a material suitable for solar energy conversion. The measured line shapes are band-like and so are amenable to analysis and comparison with theory. The line shapes are recovered from the spectra by background subtraction followed by the Van Cittert deconvolution. This technique is first applied to the L₃VV line of copper and the results checked against those already in the literature. The line shapes for Zn₃P₂ are compared with band structure calculations. In general, there is good agreement between the theory and our measured valence band structure.     

Scale model experiments on noise reduction by acoustic barrier of a straight line source

Noise reduction by an acoustic barrier of a straight line source is examined with the aid of scale model experiments. The line source used in these experiments is an incoherent line source mechanically radiating broad band noise. From the experimental results a curve can be deduced which shows a relation between sound attenuation and Fresnel number N. This curve shows values lower than those of Maekawa's data by 3 ～ 5 dB, which are presented for a point source. On the other hand, it agrees fairly well with Rathe's experimental results, measured near the tracks of a railway line, and also shows a similar tendency to the curve calculated by Kurze and Anderson for an incoherent line source.     

Magnetic force microscopy signal of flux line above a semi-infinite type II-superconductor

We have examined a single flux line in the semi-infinite type-II superconductor. The stray magnetic field of the flux line has been calculated. We have found that the vertical force exerted on a magnetic force microscopy (MFM) tip from the flux line is measurable by currently existing MFM. Two types of magnetic tips were taken into consideration, solid and thin film tips. For example, with a Cobalt film of the thickness of 100 nm and 30 nm on a tip, we found a vertical force of 4*10^–10 N and 1.5*10^–10 N, respectively. The lateral force exerted on a tip by the flux line was also calculated. The lateral force must be small enough to prevent the flux line from becoming depinned.     

Specification of spectral line shape and multiplex dispersion by self-imaging and moiré technique

Due to finite width of a spectral line, the visibility of the moiré fringes formed by a grating and the self-image of another similar grating reduces by the increase of the self-image order. This effect is exploited to specify the spectral line shape by evaluating the Fourier transform of a function related to the visibility. Even, by using in-expensive optics, the technique can provide the spectral line shapes of rather broad widths—of the order of nanometer and more—by precisions that are comparable by those obtained by expensive Fourier transform spectrometers.Besides, it is shown that by comparing the line shapes obtained with and without a dispersive medium between the gratings, one can specify the dispersion function of the medium in the wavelength range covered by the spectrum.     

Recognition of a light line pattern by Hu moments for 3-D reconstruction of a rotated object

A simple technique of a light line projection for 3-D shape detection of rotated objects is presented. In this technique, an object is rotated around its symmetrical axis four times at an angle by using an electromechanical device and scanned by a light line. Four views of the object surface are extracted from each one of these rotations by processing a set of light line images. These views are connected using rotation angle and origin coordinates to obtain the complete 3-D shape. Angle and origin are calculated by recognition of a light line pattern. Light line pattern is recognized by Hu moments. In this manner, measurement errors on setup are avoided. It is an advantage over common methods, where these two parameters are measured directly on the setup to obtain the 3-D shape. Local profilometric method is based on the perturbation that the light line suffers when it is projected on the object surface. This perturbation is observed on an image plane due to the different direction between light line projector and viewer. These perturbations are measured by using Gaussian functions. In this technique the light line images are processed in very fast form. The technique and processing time are presented in detail. This technique is tested with objects, which have little information and its experimental results are also presented.     

A study of electrostatic force on the walls of N-regular polygon-multifin line

By means of conformal transformations, the electrostatic energy of a charged N-regular polygon-multifin transmission line is achieved first. The electrostatic force exerted on each side of the outer wall is computed by using the principle of virtual work. Regarding the properties of the field, the electrostatic force exerted on each side of the inner fin could be calculated. The dependent variable and invariant quantities are analyzed as the cross section of the line undergoes a geometric equiform conversion. The cases for the triangular line, the square line and the hexagonal line are taken as typical examples.     

A Simple Frequency Lock of Green YAG Laser to Dispersion Line of the Linear Absorption Spectrum of Iodine Molecules Utilizing an Acousto-Optic Frequency Shifter

Frequency of a 532 nm emission line of a diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG laser is stabilized by lock of the output line to the linear absorption line of iodine molecules. The stabilization method is very simple utilizing the frequency shift caused with an acousto-optic modulator. The laser frequency was stabilized at the zero-crossing point of the second-derivative of the dispersion curve. Instability obtained by the error signal is affected by the phase-characteristics of detectors, which results in 3^*10^-8.     

Experimental study of the line mixing coefficient for 118.75 GHz oxygen line

The oxygen fine structure line 1− at 118.75 GHz was studied by two spectrometers at low (0.2-3.5 Torr) and high (atmosphere) pressures in air and pure oxygen. Improvement in the spectrometer with BWO and acoustic detector included use of a powerful (more than 40 mW) radiation source. Improvement in the modern resonator spectrometer included exclusion of apparatus function by sample substitution and a wider (110-130 GHz) scanned frequency range. As a result, the 1− oxygen line was observed by both spectrometers with high (up to 450) signal-to-noise ratio which permitted precise measurements of the line parameters. The investigation separated linear- and quadratic-with-pressure displacement of the line center. The line mixing coefficient responsible for apparent quadratic dependence of the center frequency on pressure was measured experimentally for the first time for this line. The line mixing coefficient was measured at 297 K as −4.62(38)×10⁻⁵ Torr⁻¹ for pure oxygen and −5.9(29)×10⁻⁵ Torr⁻¹ for air, compared to the previously calculated value −3.1×10⁻⁵ Torr⁻¹. Linear dependence of the line center frequency on pressure does not exceed ±20 kHz/Torr for air and ±10 kHz/Torr for pure oxygen. Refined values of line broadening were obtained. Integral intensity of the line was measured. A comparison with the previous investigations is presented. Inconsistencies in published data about pressure line shifts of oxygen molecule spectral lines are discussed.     

Shift and broadening of Na D lines at low pressure

The collision broadenings of the Na D lines were calculated from the transmission measurements of the vapor in sub-μTorr and μTorr regions by modeling the line shape with the Voigt profile. From the line shift, the average time between collisions is calculated. The ratio of the width to the shift is of the order of 10⁻⁴ implying that the impact approximation is valid. Expanding the line widths and shifts in powers of the product of number density and mean velocity of the atoms, the radiative transition probabilities, and the fundamental line shape constants: collision cross-sections and asymmetry of the lines are obtained. Moreover, from the line shifts and using the estimated value of the optical collision diameter obtained from the line widths, the average C₃ value, over the temperature ranges the experiment covers, is calculated.     

Sliding behavior of water droplets on line-patterned hydrophobic surfaces

We prepared line-patterned hydrophobic surfaces using fluoroalkylsilane (FAS) and octadecyltrimethoxysilane (ODS) then investigated the effect of line direction on sliding behavior of water droplets by direct observation of the actual droplet motion during sliding. Water droplets slide down with a periodic large deformation of the contact line and sliding velocity fluctuation that occurred when they crossed over the 500-μm ODS line regions in FAS regions on a Si surface tilted at 35°. These behaviors are less marked for motion on a 100-μm line surface, or on lines oriented parallel to the slope direction. Smaller droplets slide down with greater displacement in the line direction on 500-μm line patterning when the lines were rotated at 13° in-plane for the slope direction. This sliding behavior depended on the droplet size and rotation angle, and is accountable by the balance between gravitational and retentive forces.
