12C + 7Li Reaction measurements and the 12C(7Li,t)16O reaction

A measurement of the residues from the ¹²C + ⁷Li reaction has been obtained for ⁷Li energies from 10 to 38 MeV. From these measurements the fusion cross sections and critical angular momenta for the ¹²C + ⁷Li system have been deduced. Cross sections for the ⁷Li(¹²C, t)¹⁶O reaction have been obtained for ¹²C energies from 54 to 62 MeV at θ_lab = 2.7°. The critical angular momenta obtained from the fusion cross sections have been used to perform Hauser-Feshbach calculations for the ¹²C(⁷Li, t)¹⁶O reaction. These calculations have been compared to measured angular distributions over a wide energy range. By comparing the fusion cross sections required by the Hauser-Feshbach calculations to fit the ¹²C(⁷Li, t)¹⁶O(8.87 MeV) reaction and the measured residue cross section it is estimated that at least 80 % of the measured residues are fusion products. The calculations also indicate that direct processes dominate the population of many ¹⁶O levels at forward angles and the 10.35 MeV state at backward angles. The necessity for using a critical angular momentum in Hauser-Feshbach calculations is discussed.     

Study of the reaction 16O(7Li, 3He)20F

Angular distributions for the ¹⁶O(⁷Li,³He)²⁰F reaction, at a bombarding energy of 24 MeV, have been measured for all states below 6.25 MeV excitation, using a gas target and a multi-angle spectrograph. Low-lying core-excited states are populated much less strongly than known (sd)⁴ states. Cross sections decrease rapidly with excitation energy, but states at 4.20, 4.52, 4.58 and 5.41 MeV are quite strong — suggesting they have high spin and (sd)⁴ configurations. Previously suggested high-spin states at 4.73 and 4.76 MeV are weak, implying they are probably of core-excited character.     

Selectivity of the 12C(18O, 16O)14C reaction

A study about the ¹²C(¹⁸O, ¹⁶O)¹⁴C two-neutron transfer reaction was performed at the Catania INFN-LNS laboratory at 84 MeV incident energy. The ¹⁶O ejectiles produced in the reactions were momentum analyzed and identified by the MAGNEX spectrometer. The Q-value spectrum of ¹⁴C shows several known bound and resonant states, in particular states with 2p-4h configuration respect to the ¹⁶O core. The integrated cross sections show an enhanced yield for the two-neutron transfer compared to the one-neutron transfer. These results are some experimental evidences that the (¹⁸O, ¹⁶O) reaction proceeds mainly by the direct transfer of the neutron pair, instead of a second order process.     

Five-nucleon transfer in the12C(d,7Li)7be reaction atE lab=78.0 MeV

Angular distributions of the¹²C(d,⁷Li)⁷Be reaction to the ground and to the unresolved first excited states of⁷Li or⁷Be nuclei were measured in the entire angular region in the centre of mass system atE _lab=78.0 MeV. Both the one-step five-nucleon cluster transfer as well as two-step sequential transfers were considered in the theoretical analysis. The former mechanism was found to dominate, but the latter is also not negligible.     

Isotope shift of the rotational structure of the levels of flexural states in H2Ox molecules (x=16, 17, 18)

In the paper we obtain analytic relations that determine the isotope shift of the rotational levels of the (Ov₂O) states of H₂O^x molecules (x = 16, 17, 18). We give theoretical predictions of the rotational levels of the ground state of the molecules H₂O¹⁷ and H₂O¹⁸ with high values of the quantum numbers J and k_a.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 80–84, September, 1984.     

7Li(α,n)10B differential cross-section measurements from threshold to Eα = 5.1 MeV

Differential cross sections for the ⁷Li(α, n)¹⁰B reaction have been measured at lab angles of 0°, 20°, 31°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100° and 114° for α-particle energies between 4.385 and 5.1 MeV. A thick natural lithium target was bombarded with a 5.2 MeV, nanosecond-pulsed ⁴He⁺ beam and neutron velocity spectra at each angle were measured by time-of-flight techniques. These data have been converted to cross sections at 10 keV intervals in α-particle energy. Angular distributions have been fitted with a series of Legendre polynomials. Angle-integrated cross sections, the 0° excitation function, and angular distributions are compared to past measurements and R-matrix calculations.     

Ball milling of Fe40Ni40P20-xSix (x = 6, 10 and 14): production and characterization

Progress in the ball milling amorphization of elemental powders with the overall composition Fe₄₀Ni₄₀P_{20 ? x}Si_x (X = 6, 10 and 14) and thermally induced crystallization of obtained alloys were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy (TMS). Diffusion of Si into Fe and Ni alloys promotes the formation of the amorphous phase, via previous formation of (Fe, Ni) phosphides. After milling for 32–64 h, most of the powders are amorphous but bcc Fe(Si) crystallites remain (about 5% in volume). TMS results indicate that homogenization of the amorphous phase occurs by interdiffusion of Ni and Fe in Fe(Si,P)-rich and Ni(Si,P)-rich zones respectively. Annealing induces structural relaxation of stresses induced by milling, growth of bcc Fe(Si) crystallites, precipitation of bcc Fe(Si) and fcc Ni–Fe, and minor phases of Ni-rich silicides and (Fe, Ni) phosphides. The main ferromagnetic phase is bcc Fe(Si) for Fe₄₀Ni₄₀P₁₀Si₁₀ powders obtained after milling for 32 h. However, it is fcc Fe–Ni for the same alloy after milling for 64 h. In the later powders, as well as for alloys with x = 6 and 14 milled for 32 h, the fcc Fe–Ni shows the Invar magnetic collapse.

Mössbauer studies of magnetic behavior of 3d-doped REBa2Cu3−x Fe x O7+δ (RE=Y,Er, Dy,Gd)

A Mössbauer study has been made on⁵⁷Fe ions substituted into the Cu(1) site of REBa₂Cu_3?x Fe _x O_7+δ (RE=Y, Er, Dy, Gd;x=0.15, 0.30). At low temperature, the iron atoms antiferromagnetically order with a transition temperature which is dependent on the Fe concentration. The temperature dependence of the magnetic subspectra representing Fe ions with various local oxygen environments in YBa₂Cu_3?x Fe _x O_7+δ and ErBa₂Cu_3?x Fe _x O_7+δ fit a 2D-Ising model with a ratio of the anisotropic exchange between the two directions on the order of 0.5–1.0(10^?3) for the Y-compounds and on the order of 1 for the Er-compounds. The magnitude of the local dopant magnetization is related to a short-range chemical order which determines the magnetic chain size and defines the correlation lengths. For the Y-compound, the order is quasi-1D with strong intrachain but very weak interchain coupling. For the Er-compounds, the magnetic coupling is Ising 2D. The strong fluctuation behavior expected in low dimensional systems above and belowT _N is observed via characteristic relaxation in the Mössbauer linewidth nearT _N. For both the Dy- and Gd-compounds, the magnetic order is 3D. The magnitude of the rare-earth magnetic moments appears to affect the character of the magnetic interaction in the Cu(1)-site. However, a Mössbauer effect measurement at¹⁵⁵Gd nuclei in GdBa₂Cu_2.85Fe_0.15O_7+δ (T _N(Fe)～14 K) shows paramagnetic behavior at 4.9 K.     

6Li elastic scattering ON 12C, 16O, 40Ca, 58Ni, 74Ge, 124Sn, 166Er and 208Pb at E(6Li) = 50.6 MeV

The elastic scattering of ⁶Li ions from a variety of targets, A = 12 to 208, has been measured at a bombarding energy of 50.6 MeV. The angular distributions are characteristic of strongly absorbed particles, such as ³He and heavy ions, and less diffractive than for ⁴He. A simple optical model with Woods-Saxon real and imaginary volume potentials is adequate to fit the data. Spin-orbit effects are not apparent in the data.     

The interaction between inorganic Li salts (LiTf,LiNTf2) and the surface of alumina particles as studied with solid state nuclear magnetic resonance

The interaction between Li salts {LiTf (Tf = CF₃SO₃) and LiNTf₂ (NTf₂ = N(SO₂CF₃)₂)} with surface modified alumina particles (basic, neutral or acidic) is investigated employing a range of advanced solid state NMR methodologies. Utilizing ⁷Li MAS NMR, a new signal – in addition to the signal of the pure salt – could be identified in the composite samples, increasing with increasing basicity of the alumina surface. Employing ⁷Li–{¹H} CPMAS NMR and ⁷Li–{¹H}–CPMAS–{²⁷Al} REAPDOR NMR spectroscopy, this new signal could be unequivocally assigned to an alumina-surface bound Li species. For the anions, ¹⁹F MAS NMR spectra clearly prove the existence of new anion sites. Employing ¹⁹F–{⁷Li} REDOR spectroscopy and ¹⁹F–{²⁷Al} TRAPDOR NMR spectroscopy, the identified signals could be safely assigned to anions within the pristine Li salt and anions attached to the alumina surface. These results present direct evidence for the anion???alumina surface and cation???alumina surface interaction, suggested by several authors to aid in the interpretation of the effect of the ceramic additive on the ionic conductivity.     

Raman and IR studies of TaWO5.5, ASbWO6 (A = K,Rb, Cs,Tl), and ASbWO6·H2O (A = H,NH4, Li,Na) pyrochlore oxides

Raman and infrared (IR) spectra of defect pyrochlores TaWO_5.5, NH₄SbWO₆·H₂O, HSbWO₆·H₂O, LiSbWO₆·H₂O, NaSbWO₆·H₂O, KSbWO₆, RbSbWO₆, CsSbWO₆, and TlSbWO₆ were measured. The obtained spectra are discussed using the factor group approach for the cubic Fd‐3m space group, and assignment of bands to respective motions of atoms is proposed. Our results show that the phonon properties of the pyrochlores are strongly affected by disorder, and therefore Raman and IR spectroscopies are very useful tools in studying disorder in this family of compounds. In particular, our studies have shown that in these ionic conductors disorder at sites occupied by NH , H⁺, or alkali‐metal ions decreases with increasing size and mass of these ions.

Relaxation phenomena and nuclear magnetic resonance of116In(T 1/2=14s) produced by capture of polarized neutrons in the indium III–V compounds

Polarized¹¹⁶In nuclei have been produced by capture of polarized thermal neutrons in several In compounds. At temperaturesT below 77 °K and magnetic field strengthsH ₀ of several kOe, asymmetries of a few percent of the β^? decay of the¹¹⁶In ground state could be observed in polycrystalline InP, InAs and InSb, thus indicating the nuclear polarization. Nuclear magnetic resonance signals have been measured with the result for the magnetic moment μ _i (¹¹⁶In)=2.7723 (10) nm (uncorrected). β^? decay asymmetry and spin lattice relaxation timeT ₁ have been studied as a function ofH ₀ andT. The effect ofH ₀ is to decouple the hyperfine interaction caused by the capture-γ recoil process. However,H ₀ has no influence uponT ₁, which demonstrates the absence of nuclear relaxation due to paramagnetic impurities.T ₁ is determined by quadrupolar relaxation. A quadrupole momentQ(¹¹⁶In)=0.09 (2) b was calculated by comparison of the¹¹⁶In relaxation rates with those of the stable¹¹⁵In isotope in the same compounds. Above 30 °K the temperature dependence of 1/T ₁ agrees with a recent theoretical investigation. Below 30 °K the relaxation rate shows an anomalous behaviour, which can be explained by resonance modes due to recoil lattice defects.     

Effects of reagent's rotational and vibrational excitations on reaction O(3P) + H2 H2(ν = 0, 3, j = 0, 3; 5; 7; 9; 12; 15) → OH + H

To investigate the effect of reagent's rotational and vibrational excitations on the stereo-dynamics of reaction product, the title reaction is theoretically simulated using the quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method on the ³A" and ³A′ potential energy surfaces (PESs). The reaction cross section is considered as the only scalar property in this work at four different collision energies. Furthermore the vector properties including two polarization-dependent differential cross sections (PDDCSs), the angular distributions of product' rotational momentum are discussed at one fixed collision energy. Effects of reagents' rotational excitation on the reaction do exist regularly.
