Experimental Study of Single and Double Electron Detachment Cross Sections for Cl^- in Collision with He

Single-electron detachment （SED） and double-electron detachment （DED） for chlorine negative ions in collision with helium are investigated in the energy region of 5-30 keV （SED） and 5-19 ke V （DED） by growth rate method, respectively. Experimental data from this work are compared with the previous reported data, and a general discussion is given.     

Single-Electron Detachment for Ti-, Fe-, Co-, Ni-, and Cu-, in Collision with Ar

By using the micro-channel plate position sensitive detector with the delay-line anode we measure the single electron detachment cross sections for some transition elements in collision with Ar in the energy region 10-30 keV. These single electron detachment cross sections perform as velocity and electron affinity dependences. The experiments are carried out using the growth rate method.     

Li-和Na-单电子解离过程的研究

采用交叉束方法 ,利用负离子源产生的 3— 19keV的Li- 和Na- 轰击惰性气体靶He ,Ne和Ar ,通过静电偏转和位置灵敏探测器区分碰撞后中性粒子束和负离子束 ,测量了不同碰撞系统的中性粒子计数与相应入射负离子计数的比值R(E) ,并得到R(E)与入射负离子能量、负离子种类和靶原子种类的关系. The count ratios R of the neutralized atoms of final state to projectiles Li -and Na -in collision with He, Ne and Ar are measured in the energy range of 3-19 keV. It is found that the count ratios R increase slowly with the collision energy in whole experimental energy range for He, Ne and Ar. For Li -→He, Ne, Ar Collisions, R(He)≈R(Ar)>R(Ne), and for Na -→He, Ne, Ar Collisions, R(He)>R(Ar)> R(Ne).     

Average Energy Loss Measured in Single and Double Electron Capture Collisions of He^2＋ on Ar at Low Velocities ＊

Employing the recoil ion momentum spectroscopy we investigate the collision between He^2＋ and argon atoms. By measuring the recoil longitudinal momentum the energy losses of projectile are deduced for capture reaction channels. It is found that in most cases for single- and double-electron capture, the inner electron in the target atom is removed, the recoil ion is in singly or multiply excited states （hollow ion is formed）, which indicates that electron correlation plays an important role in the process. The captured electrons prefer the ground states of the projectile. It is experimentally demonstrated that the average energy losses are directly related to charge transfer and electronic configuration     

Electron multiplicity in slow collisions of Ar ions with C

Electron capture by Ar⁸⁺ in collisions with C₆₀ fullerene has been investigated using coincident measurements of the number n of ejected electrons, the mass and charge of multicharged Cr+ ₆₀ recoil ions and their fragments Ci+ m and the final charge state of outgoing projectiles Ar(8-s)+ (). The number of captured electrons r is the sum of the numbers of stabilized and emitted electrons: r = n + s. The ratio n / s decreases by a factor three with s increasing from 1 to 7 showing that the multiply excited states populated by capture of a large number of electrons are rather stable against auto-ionisation. Each kinetic energy spectrum of Ar⁺ and Ar²⁺ projectiles is composed of two peaks which we attribute to collisions “inside” and “outside” the C₆₀ cage. The measured energy shift of the projectile keV is consistent with the corresponding energy loss keV in a carbon foil with an equivalent thickness. Inside collisions are characterized by a strong dissociation of recoil ions into light monocharged fragments and by a high multiplicity of ejected electrons.

Neutralization and Detachment in H^＋-H^- Collisions

The cross sections for neutralization and detachment in H^＋-H^- collisions in the energy range from 1.0 to lOO keV/u are calculated using the two-centre atomic orbital close-coupling （TC-AOCC） method. The results are compared with the available experimental and theoretical data. It is found that the neutralization cross section agrees well with the experimental data by Schon et al. [3. Phys. B 20 （1987） L759] and Melchert et al., [J. Phys. B 32 （1999） L139] especially at low energies. However, for the detachment process, our calculated cross section lies between the experimental data by Melchert et al. and by Peart et al. [J. Phys. B 9 （1976） 3047] for the energy below 15keV/u. Above this energy, our result is smaller than the two experimental data. It is worth pointing out that there exists a large difference between these two experimental data and it is difficult to judge which data is more accurate. Therefore, a high-precision measurement for detachment cross sections is expected to resolve this discrepancy and to test the theoretical calculations.     

IR multiphoton absorption of SF6 in flow with Ar at moderate energy fluences

6 in flow with Ar (SF₆: Ar=1:100) in conditions of a large vibrational/rotational temperature difference (T_V≃230 K, T_R≃60 K) was studied at moderate energy fluences from ≃0.1 to ≃100 mJ/cm², which are of interest for isotope selective two-step dissociation of molecules. A 50 cm Laval-type slit nozzle for the flow cooling, and a TEA CO₂-laser for excitation of molecules were used in the experiments. The laser energy fluence dependences of the SF₆ MPA were studied for several CO₂-laser lines which are in a good resonance with the linear absorption spectrum of the ν₃ vibration of SF₆ at low temperature. The effect of the laser pulse duration (intensity) on MPA of flow cooled SF₆ with Ar was also studied. The results are compared with those obtained in earlier studies.

Ab Initio Calculations of Differential Cross Sections for Single Charge Transfer in ^3He^2＋ ＋ ^4He Collisions

The single charge transfer process in ^3He^2＋ ＋ ^4He collisions is investigated using the quantum-mechanical molecular- orbital close-coupling method, in which the adiabatic potentials and radial couplings are calculated by using the ab initio multireference single- and double-excitation configuration interaction methods. The differential cross sections for the single charge transfer are presented at the laboratorial energies E = 6 keV and lOkeV for the projectile ^3He^2＋. Comparison with the existing data shows that the present results are better in agreement with the experimental measurements than other calculations in the dominant small angle scattering, which is attributed to the accurate calculations of the adiabatic potentials and the radial couplings.     

Differential and Integral Cross Sections for Electron Impact Excitation of Lithium

The differential and integral cross sections for electron impact excitation of lithium from the ground state 1s22s to excited states 1s22p, 1s23l （l=s, p, d） and 1s24l （l=s, p, d, f）at incident energies ranging from 5 eV to 25 eV are calculated by using a full relativistic distorted wave method. The target state wavefunctions are calculated by using the Grasp92 code. The continuum orbitals are computed in the distorted-wave approximation, in which the direct and exchange potentials among all the electrons are included. A part of the cross sections are compared with the available experimental data and with the previous theoretical values. It is found that, for the integral cross sections, the present calculations are in good agreement with the time-independent distorted wave method calculation, for differential cross sections, our results agree with the experimental data very well.     

Double Electron Processes in Collisions of Partially Stripped Ions C^q＋ （q = 1-4） with Helium

The multi-electron processes are investigated for 17.9-120 keV/u C^1＋, 30-323 keV/u C^2＋, 120-438 keV/u ^C3＋, 287-480 keV/u C^4＋ incident on a helium target. The cross-section ratios of double electron （DE） process to the total of the single electron （SE） and the double electron process （i.e. SE＋DE）, the direct double electron （DDI） to the direct single ionization （DSI） as well as the contributions of DDI to DE and of TI to DE are measured using coincidence techniques. The energy and charge state dependences of the measured cross-section ratios are studied and discussed.     

Relativistic Distorted-Wave Calculations of Electron Impact Excitation Cross Sections of Be-Like C2＋ Ions

A fully relativistic distorted-wave program is developed based on the Grasp92 and Ratip packages to calculate electron impact excitation （EIE） cross sections. As a first application of the program, the EIE cross sections of Be-like C^α＋ ions from the metastable 1s^22s2p^3 p to 1s^22p^2 ^3 p excitation and the inner-shell excitations are calculated systematically. Meanwhile, the correlation effects of target states are discussed. It is found that the correlation effects play an important role in the low energy EIE cross sections. An excellent agreement is found when the results are compared with previous calculations and recent measurements.     

Calculations of Photo-Ionization Cross Sections for Lithium Atoms

Photo-ionization cross sections for the ground and the ≤5 excited states of lithium atoms are calculated in the photoelectron energy ranging from threshold to 0.5 Rydberg. The wavefunctions for both the bound and continuum states are obtained by solving the SchrSdinger equation numerically in a symplectic scheme. Our results are in excellent agreement with the recent experimental measurements and in harmony with other theoretical calculations.

Magnetoelectric effect in perovskite quantum paraelectric EuTiO3

On the basis of successful theoretical explanation of the observed large magnetic-field effect (by ∼7% with 1.5 T) on the dielectric constant below the Néel temperature T_N of 5.5 K, we have demonstrated convincingly the magnetoelectric effect in an antiferromagnetic quantum paraelectric EuTiO₃ system. The mutual control of electric and magnetic properties is revealed by the variation of the electric-field-induced polarization with applied magnetic fields as well as the change of the magnetic-field-induced spin moments under the control of electric fields. It is found that the applied electric field (magnetic field) acts like a fictitious magnetic field (electric field) on the EuTiO₃ system. The magnetoelectric susceptibility is deduced to be proportional to the product of the magnetization, electrical polarization, magnetic susceptibility and dielectric susceptibility.     

Dependence of excess bismuth content in precursor sols on ferroelectric and dielectric properties of Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O12 thin films fabricated by chemical solution deposition

Bi_3.25La_0.75Ti₃O₁₂ (BLT) thin films were fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si(1 0 0) substrates by chemical solution deposition (CSD), and the dependence of ferroelectric and dielectric properties of the as-deposited BLT thin films on excess Bi content in precursor sols was studied. It is found that the prepared BLT thin film shows the best polarization-electric field, capacitance-voltage and dielectric constant (?_r)-frequency characteristics, when the value of excess Bi content in precursor sols is 10%. In detail, its remnant polarization (2P_r) value is 40 μC/cm², the capacitance tunability is 21% measured at room temperature under conditions of an applied voltage of 8 V and measurement frequency of 10 kHz, and the ?_r is 696 at 100 kHz frequency.     

Electron Traps with a Wide Range of Capture Cross Sections in Powdery ZnS-Based Luminophors

Using the method of thermally stimulated luminescence, the phenomenon of spatial modulation of the capture cross section (S_t) of electron traps with a level of E_c − 0.18 eV in powdery luminophors Zn_0.97Cd_0.03S 〈Cu, Cl〉 with green luminescence and ZnS〈Ag, Cl〉 with blue luminescence by a collective electric field of macroinhomogeneity has been investigated. The maximum value of the effect (width of the range of values of S_t) attains five orders of magnitude, with the size of the powder grains being of order 1 µm. A model is suggested, according to which traps with E_c − 0.18 eV with an extended range of values of S_t represent an isolated anionic vacancy in a region of the collective field of macroscopic inhomogeneity that is the negatively charged surface of the powder grains. The extension of the range of values of S_t is the result of modulation of the kinetic parameters of electron traps E_c − 0.18 eV depending on the spatial position occupied by the anionic vacancy relative to the surface of the powder grains.__________Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 2, pp. 202–206, March–April, 2005.     

Nuclear Potential and Fusion Cross Sections for Synthesizing Super-Heavy Elements in Di-nuclear Systems

A double foMing method with simplified Skyrme-type nucleon nucleon interaction is used to calculate the nuclear interaction potential between two nuclei. The calculation is performed in tip-to-tip orientation of the two nuclei if they are deformed. Based on this method, the potential energy surfaces~ the fusion probabilities and the evaporation residue cross sections for some cold fusion reactions leading to super-heavy elements within di-nuclear system model are evaluated. It is indicated that after the improvement, the exponential decreasing systematics of the fusion probability with increasing charge number of projectile on the Pb based target become better and the evaporation residue cross sections are in better agreement with the experimental data.     

Extremal Kerr black hole/CFT correspondence in the five-dimensional Gödel universe

We extend the method of Kerr/CFT correspondence recently proposed in arXiv:0809.4266 [hep-th] to the extremal (charged) Kerr black hole embedded in the five-dimensional Gödel universe. With the aid of the central charges in the Virasoro algebra and the Frolov–Thorne temperatures, together with the use of the Cardy formula, we have obtained the microscopic entropies that precisely agree with the ones macroscopically calculated by Bekenstein–Hawking area law.     

Absolute Electron Impact Cross Sections for Single Ionization of Metastable Atoms of H,He, Ne,Ar, Kr,Xe and Rn

Cross sections for single ionization of metastable atoms of H, He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn by electrons with impact energy E (threshold < E < 200 eV) are determined using a recently developed semiclassical formula. The formula consists of an energy dependent term (classical binary encounter approximation) and a term containing the weighted sum of the squared radii of maximum charge density of the outer electron subshells (Born Bethe approximation). Although this formula was originally devised and applied for ground state atoms, a comparison of the present calculations with previous calculations and measurements indicates that this formula can also be used successfully in case of metastable atoms.     

Electron swarm coefficients in 1,1,1,2 tetrafluoroethane (R134a) and its mixtures with Ar

Using a pulsed Townsend technique, we have measured the drift velocity, the longitudinal diffusion coefficient and the effective ionisation coefficient of electrons in R134a and R134a-Ar over a wide range of the density-reduced electric field intensity, E/N. Regarding the measurement of the electron drift velocities and of the effective ionization coefficients, we have covered a wider range than that hitherto achieved for pure R134a. Both the electron drift velocity and the effective ionisation coefficient have been found in very good agreement with those published in the literature, covering a shorter range of E/N. On the other hand, the swarm coefficients on R134a-Ar are, to the best of our knowledge, the first to be published. It is hoped that these data will be of interest for the test/derivation of electron collision cross sections for this important hydrofluorocarbon gas, which is nowadays of great use in gaseous detectors.
