Measurement of the half-life of ~(79)Se with accelerator mass spectrometry

The accelerator mass spectrometry(AMS) is an effective method for the determination of the half-life of long-lived radionuclides. In this paper, we report a method for measurement of the half-life of79 Se. The number of79 Se atoms was determined from measured79Se/Se absolute ratios with the AMS system at the China Institute of Atomic Energy and the decay rate of79 Se was determined by counting the emitted β-rays with a liquid scintillation spectrometer. The major improvements of our measurements include using the high abundance of an79 Se sample which was cooled for many years to exclude the interference of short-lived nuclides, the extraction of SeO-2molecular ions, that results in a suppression of the79 Br background by as much as about five orders of magnitude. Also, an AMS measurement of the absolute ratio of79Se/Se was developed to avoid systematic errors. The results show that79Se/Se is(2.35±0.12)×10-7in the reference sample and the radioactivity of79 Se is(1.24±0.05) Bq/g, so the half-life of79 Se is(2.78±0.18)×105a.

152Eu20+与Au 作用产生M-X 射线的动能阈值

测量了动能为2.0 MeV 的高电荷态离子152Eu20+入射Au 表面产生的Au 的M_ζ,M_α 和M_β 特征X射线和Eu 的M -X 射线。对X射线产生的微观机制进行了初步分析,并通过半经典两体碰撞近似,估算了Eu20+与Au 作用产生的Au 的M-X 射线和Eu 的M-X 射线的动能阈值。此结果对高电荷态离子与固体表面相互作用的动力学过程的研究以及在辐射能量转换效率研究中如何选取合适的弹靶组合具有重要的参考价值。It is measured that the characteristic X-ray spectra of M_ζ,M_α and M_β of Au and the characteristic X-ray spectra of M of Eu produced by the interaction of highly charged ions of 152Eu20+ with kinetic energy 2.0 MeV on Au surface. The micro-mechanism of X-ray excitation is preliminary analyzed. The kinetic energy threshold of M-X ray of Au and M-X ray of Eu emitted by Eu20+ with Au is estimated by semiclassical approximation theory of binary collision. The threshold has important referenced value in the study on dynamics of the interaction of highly charged ions with solid surface and on how to choose better target and projectile combination in the conversion efficiency of radiation energy.     

Cq+ 和Oq+与原子碰撞的电子俘获过程的理论研究

在ECPSSR理论的基础上， 利用OBKN近似描述电子俘获过程， 得到了包括电子俘获过程贡献的ECPSSR理论， 编写了相应的计算程序。 采用该程序计算了不同电荷态离子与多种靶原子碰撞的电子俘获截面和相应的X 射线产生截面， 将计算得到的包含电子俘获过程贡献的X 射线产生截面与实验结果进行了比较。 对于具有满K壳层的入射离子碰撞， X 射线产生截面与入射离子电荷态基本无关； 对于以直接电离为主导的碰撞过程， 计算得到的X 射线产生截面与实验数据符合得很好； 对于全裸和单K空穴入射离子的碰撞， 计算高估了X 射线产生截面。 Based on the ECPSSR theory, the contribution of the electron capture is described by the OBKN theory. The cross sections of electron capture and X ray production for the collision of different charge state projectiles with various targets are calculated, and compared with the available experimental data. It is found that the obtained X ray production cross sections are almost independent of the projectile charge states for projectiles without a K vacancy. For the collision processes of direct ionization, the present calculated results agree well with the experimental data. The calculations overestimate the X ray production cross sections for the projectiles with full and a K vacancy.

X-ray emission for Ar11+ ions impacting on various targets in the collisions near the Bohr velocity

X-ray emission from the collisions of 3 MeV Ar¹¹⁺ ions with V, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn is investigated. Both the x-rays of the target atom and projectile are observed simultaneously. The x-ray yield is extracted from the original count. The inner-shell ionization cross section is estimated by the binary encounter approximation model and compared with the experimental result. The remarkable result is that the Ar K-shell x-ray yield is diminished with the target atomic number increasing, which is completely opposite to the theoretical calculation. That is interpreted by the competitive consumption of the energy loss for the ionization of inner-shell electrons between the projectile and target atom.     

Isotopic production cross sections of fragmentation residues produced by 18O ions on a carbon target near 260 MeV/nucleon

The isotopic cross sections of residual nuclei produced in fragmentation reactions of ¹⁸O projectiles impinging on a carbon target at energies near 260 MeV/nucleon were measured at the HIRFL facility in Lanzhou (China). A full identification of atomic and mass numbers of fragments was achieved from the determination of their magnetic rigidity, energy loss, and time of flight. The production cross sections for a dozen of nitrogen, carbon, and boron isotopes were determined with uncertainties below 30% for most of the cases. The obtained cross sections for N and B isotopes show a rather good agreement with previous experimental data obtained with different projectile energies. The cross sections for some C isotopes seem to exhibit a dependence on the projectile energy. A comparison of the data and several theoretical model calculations are presented.     

Electronic States near the Fermi Level in the Antiferromagnetic and Ferromagnetic Spinels of Zn 1− x Cu x Cr 2 Se 4 ; 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0

The electronic states of normal-type spinels in Zn 1 m x Cu x Cr 2 Se 4 have been studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy near the K-edge of Zn, Cu, Cr and Se ions. It is found that characteristic white lines occur near the X-ray absorption threshold for Zn and Se ions, but not for Cu and Cr ions. It is also found that the white lines show a slight energy shift, which depends on the Cu concentration. The energy shifts mean that Fermi level gradually approaches the top region of the valence band of Se 2 m , on increasing the Cu ions. The substitution of Zn 2+ with Cu 1+ ions increases the number of positive carriers, holes. The holes occupying the top region of the valence band strongly correlate with Cr 4+ , which forms an empty orbital in the 3d-band of Cr 3+ and exchanges the valence electrons with Cr 3+ . It is interpreted that the ferromagnetism in Zn 1 m x Cu x Cr 2 Se 4 is made by double-exchange interaction between Cr 3+ and Cr 4+ ions and that holes contribute to the electronic conductivity of Zn 1 m x Cu x Cr 2 Se 4 .     

Simultaneous K plus L shell ionized atoms during heavy-ion collision process

The fraction of simultaneous K plus L shell ionized atoms is estimated in Fe, Co and Cu elements using carbon ions at different projectile energies. The present results indicate that the fraction of simultaneous K plus L shell ionization probability decreases with increase in projectile energy as well as with increase in the atomic number of the targets atoms.     

Rapid speciation and quantification of selenium compounds by HPLC-ICP MS using multiple standards labelled with different isotopes

Speciation analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP MS) is now commonly used to investigate metabolic and toxicological aspects of some metals and metalloids. We have developed a rapid method for simultaneous identification and quantification of metabolites of selenium (Se) compounds using multiple standards labelled with different isotopes. A mixture of the labelled standards was spiked in a selenised garlic extract and the sample was subjected to speciation analysis by HPLC-ICP MS. The selenised garlic contains γ-glutamyl-methylselenocysteine, methylselenocysteine, and selenomethionine and the concentrations of those Se compounds were 723.8, 414.8, and 310.7 ng Se ml(-1), respectively. The isotopically labelled standards were also applied to the speciation of Se in rat urine. Selenate, methylselenonic acid, selenosugar, and trimethyselenium ions were found to be excreted by the present speciation procedure. Multiple standards labelled with different stable isotopes enable high-throughput identification and quantitative measurements of Se metabolites.

在兰州重离子加速器国家实验室,利用硅漂移X射线探测器探测了4.5 MeV I20+离子入射到Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,Zn靶表面时产生I的L壳层X射线.实验观察到Ll,Lα1,2,Lβ1,3,4,Lβ2,15,Lγ1,Lγ2,3,4,4,等6组分辨较好的谱线,各分支X射线的能量发生了蓝移;Lβ1,3,4,Lβ2,15与Lα1,2谱线的相对强度比随靶原子序数的增大基本线性增加,Ll与Lα1,2,Lγ2,3,4,4,与Lγ1 X射线的相对强度比近似与靶原子序数的平方成正比.分析表明,玻尔速度附近能量的低速高电荷态离子与固体靶原子碰撞产生的内壳层过程存在直接库仑电离和电子俘获的双重综合作用,这使得内壳层X射线发射时,外壳层仍存在多个空穴,导致辐射X射线的频移和分支比的变化.     

Transfer ionization in isocharge sequence ion and Ne collisions

The dependence of the ratio R1 for transfer ionization to single capture for Cq+, Nq+, Oq+, Neq+ ions on Ne target upon the electronic structure of the projectile is studied. For Aq+-Ne collisions the ratio R1 decreases as the atomic number Z of the projectile increases for q=4,5,6,7 sequences which provides strong evidence for the increase of the binding energy of the target valence electron after single electron capture. The increase in binding energy depends both upon the atomic number of the projectile and the target atom.
