Infrared Spectroscopic Analysis of Chrysene and 1.2-Benzanthracence in Wax films

Chrysene and 1.2-benzanthracene are successfully doped in a solid wax film and their vibrational spectra in gooo--400cm^-1 are discussed. The harmonic frequencies and relative intensities of both the molecules observed in the film are compared with theoretical values calculated by the density functional theory （DFT） model as well as with the previous experimental data. The effects on spectra due to change of matrix and some additional bands observed in the wax film are also reported. Excellent agreement in the spectral positions and strengths between the experiments and DFT values are found.     

Systematic analysis of fusion barrier heights and positions for proton projectiles using the single folding model

The nuclear potentials between protons and different target nuclei are calculated by using the single folding model with the density-dependent nucleon-nucleon interaction.The fusion barrier heights and positions for proton projectiles fusing with different target nuclei with masses from 51 amu to 139 amu are systematically shown,with charge numbers and root-mean-square radii of the interacting nuclei.The parameterized formulas for the fusion barrier height and position are obtained for proton projectile fusing with the different nuclei.The calculated results of parameterized formulas are compared to empirical values,as well as those of the proximity potential and AkyüzWinther(AW) potential.It is shown that the calculated results agree perfectly with theirs.The parameterized formulas can reproduce the exact barrier heights and positions for proton fusion systems.     

KLn Dielectronic Recombination Process of B- Through He-like Cu Ions

The KLn dielectronic recombination processes of trapped highly charged B-like through He-like Cu ions are studied theoretically, and the theoretical results are used to analyse our previous experimental data at Heidelberg electron beam ion trap （EBIT）. The theoretical resonant positions agree with the experimental resonant positions to a precision of 0.4%, in comparison with the resonant positions of those highest peaks between theory and experiment. The experimental spectra are then fitted using a formula with the theoretical resonant energies and strengths, the result shows good overall agreement between theory and experiment over a wide electron energy range. The distribution of highly charged states is obtained from the fitting parameters.     

Growth and collapse of laser-induced bubbles in glycerol--water mixtures

Comprehensive numerical and experimental analyses of the effect of viscosity on cavitation oscillations are performed. This numerical approach is based on the Rayleigh-Plesset equation. The model predictions are compared with experimental results obtained by using a fibre-optic diagnostic technique based on optical beam deflection （OBD）. The maximum and minimum bubble radii as well as the oscillation times for each oscillation cycle are determined according to the characteristic signals. It is observed that the increasing of viscosity decreases the maximum bubble radii but increases the minimum bubble radii and the oscillation time. These experimental results are consistent with numerical results.     

Repulsive effects in steady axisymmetric fields

In this paper the repulsive effects in the Kerr and Kerr--Newman fields are discussed. The contributions made by all parameters of the fields and test particles to the repulsive effects are also discussed, and the accretive effect on interstellar dust, i.e. the distribution of dust is calculated. The discussion is also carried out on the slow rotation of the Kerr field in which the effect is related to the positions and velocities of the particles and the orientations of their trajectories as well.     

Simulation of the Galactic Cosmic Ray Shadow of the Sun

The cosmic-ray particles of TeV-regime, outside the solar system are blocked in their way to the Earth, a deficit of particles is observed corresponding to the location of the Sun known as the Sun shadow. The center of the Sun shadow is shifted from its nominal position due to the presence of magnetic fields in interplanetary space,and this shift is used indirectly as a probe to study the solar magnetic field that is difficult to measure otherwise.A detailed Monte Carlo simulation of galactic cosmic-ray propagation in the Earth–Sun system is carried out to disentangle the cumulative effects of solar, interplanetary and geomagnetic fields. The shadowing effects and the displacements results of the Sun shadow in different solar activities are reproduced and discussed.     

EFFECT OF DIELECTRIC CONSTANT ON THE EXCITON GROUND STATE ENERGY OF CdSe QUANTUM DOTS

The B-spline technique is used in the calculation of the exciton ground state energy based on the effective mass approximation (EMA) model. The exciton is confined in CdSe microspherical crystallites with a finite-height potential wall (dots). In this approach, (a) the wave function is allowed to penetrate to the outside of the dots; (b) the dielectric constants of the quantum dot and the surrounding material are considered to be different; and (c) the dielectric constant of the dots are size-dependent. The exciton energies as functions of radii of the dots in the range 0.5-3.5 nm are calculated and compared with experimental and previous theoretical data. The results show that: (1) The exciton energy is convergent as the radius of the dot becomes very small. (2) A good agreement with the experimental data better than other theoretical results is achieved. (3) The penetration (or leaking) of the wave function and the difference of the dielectric constants in different regions are necessary for correcting the Coulomb interaction energy and reproducing experimental data. (4) The EMA model with B-spline technique can describe the status of excition confined in quantum dot very well.     

Nuclear Radii Extracted from Experimental Reaction Cross Sections

We illustrate typical experimental reaction cross sections cr n which have obtained on RIBLL at Heavy Ion Research Facility of the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) at Lanzhou. The corresponding nuclear radii are extracted from the measured experimental an using the Glauber model. Meanwhile, theoretical nuclear radii are also calculated using Relativistic density-dependent Hartree and spherical relativistic mean-field theory with Pauli blocking. For comparison, the nuclear radii of these nuclei are a/so calculated using the empirical radius format in which the deformation has been taken into account. From the given experimental and theoretical nuclear radff, we suggest that there may exist proton halo structure in 23A1, 27p and may exist proton skin structure in 24A1. We also find that the deformation plays a great role to the nuclear radii.     

Calculation of Radii and Density of ^7-19B Isotopes Using Effective Skyrme Force

Abstract In this study, the proton and neutron densities, charge densities, rms nuclear charge radii, rms nuclear mass radii, rms nuclear proton, neutron radii, and neutron skin thickness are calculated by using Harfree-Fock method with an effective nucleon-nucleon Skyrme interactions with SⅠ, SⅡ, SⅣ, T3, SKM, and SKM^＊ parameters. These nuclear properties for the neutron-rich isotopes of B （Boron） are presented. The calculated results are compared with the experimental and theoretical results of other researchers.     

Ab initio configuration interaction study of the ground and low-lying excited states of ZnCd

The multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI) electronic energy calculations have been carried out on the ground state (X~1∑) as well as three low-lying excited states (~3E,~1∏,~3∏) of ZnCd dimer.Poten- tial energy curves (PECs) are therefore generated and fitted to the analytical potential energy functions (APEFs) using the Murrel-Sorbie (MS) potential function.Based on the PECs,the vibrational levels of each state are determined by solving Schr(?)dinger equation of nuclear motion,and corresponding spec- troscopic parameters are accurately calculated using the APEFs.The present values of spectroscopic parameters including equilibrium positions and dissociation energies are compared with other theoretical reports available at present.     

A Quasi—One—Dimensional Model for a Solar Flux Tube

We develop the quasi-one-dimensional flux tube model with magnetohydrodynamical equations.In order to know whether the magnetic field can maintain their similar structure from photosphere to chromosphere,we suppose that the flux tube is thin in radius relative to the length,and that the quantities in the cross section are averaged.The radii of the flux tube and the magnetic field are numerically simulated.One of the important results shows that the flux tube does not expand as quickly as the existing model when it is out of the photoxphere with high velocity.This is consistent with observations of the magnetic field in the photosphere and chromosphere.     

Computed Tidal Relativistic Red-Shifts of Frequency Standards on Earth and in Space Stations

Frequencies of frequency standards are shifted by the local static gravity red shifts and also modulated by the tidal relativistic red shifts. We compute the tidal relativistic red shifts using a time-domain method and present the numerical results for the National Institute of Metrology(NIM) in Beijing, Laboratoire National de Metrologie et Essais-Systeme de References Temps-Espace(LNE-SYRTE) in Paris and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt(PTB) in Braunschweig. The differences of the tidal relativistic red shift approach as large as 1.1×10~(-16) when frequency standards at NIM are compared with those at SYRTE and PTB. Moreover, the tidal relativistic red shifts of frequency standards in space stations are also computed.     

Local variations of charge radii for nuclei with even Z from 84 to 120

Pronounced changes of nuclear charge radii provide a stringent benchmark on the theoretical models and play a vital role in recognizing various nuclear phenomena. In this work, the systematic evolutions of nuclear charge radii along even Z = 84–120 isotopic chains are first investigated by the recently developed new ansatz under the covariant density functional. The calculated results show that the shell closure effects of nuclear charge radii appear remarkably at the neutron numbers N = 126 and...     

Equation of state of fluid helium at high temperatures and densities

Helium, hydrogen, and their isotopes are the simplest monoatomic and diatomic molecules. It is relatively easy to describe their properties using the basic principles of quantum mechanics. In condensed matter physics, hydrogen and helium serve as the models for the condensed matter properties at extreme conditions so that both experi- mental and theoretical physicists pay much attention to the study of their properties[1], especially the insulator-metal transition of hydrogen[2]. The aim to st…     

Relativistic RRR-matrix studies of photoionization processes of Ar~(5+)

The 3s–np photoionization processes of the ground state 2P1/2 and the metastable state 2P3/2 of Ar5+ are investigated using our recently developed relativistic R-matrix code, where the interactions between the bound states and the continuum states are included. Both resonance positions and the oscillator strengths are in much better agreement with the absolute experimental measurements by Wang et al. [Wang J C, Lu M, Esteves D, Habibi M, Alna'washi G and Phaneuf R A 2007 Phys. Rev. A 75 062712] with a resolution of 80 meV than their theoretical results. The contributions of the two experimental unresolved transitions are distinguished in our calculations, which show that the transitions from the ground state also make significant contributions to some resonances. Our theoretical results are also in good agreement with the measurements for the first resonance with a higher resolution of 20 meV.     

Properties of bottomonium in a semi-relativistic model

Using a semi-relativistic potential model we investigate the spectra and decays of the bottomonium (bb-) system. The Hamiltonian of our model consists of a relativistic kinetic energy term, a vector Coulomb-like potential and a scalar confining potential. Using this Hamiltonian, we obtain a spinless wave equation, which is then reduced to the form of a single particle Schrodinger equation. The spin dependent potentials are introduced as a perturbation. The three-dimensional harmonic oscillator wave function is employed as a trial wave function and the bb- mass spectrum is obtained by the variational method. The model parameters and the wave function that reproduce the the bb- spectrum are then used to investigate some of their decay properties. The results obtained are then compared with the experimental data and with the predictions of other theoretical models.

Ground-State Properties ,of C, O, and Ne Isotopes in Hartree——Fock-Bogoliubov Calculation with Gogny Interaction

Ground-state properties of C, O, and Ne isotopes are described in the framework of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with density-dependent finite-range Gogny interaction D1S. We include all the contributions to the Hartree-Fock and pairing feld arising from Gogny and Coulomb interaction as well as the center of mass correction in the numerical calcu/ations. These ground-state properties of C, O, and Ne isotopes are compared with available experimental results, Hartree-Fock plus BCS, shell model and relativistic Hartree--Bogoliubov calculations. The agreement between experiments and our theoretical results is pretty well. The predicted drip-line is dependent strongly on the model and effective interaction due to their sensitivity to various theoretical details. The calculations predict no evidence for halo structure predicted for C,O, and Ne isotopes in a previous RHB study.     

Method of array shape calibration based on time delay estimation using two auxiliary sources

As for a flexible horizontal array deployed in the sea, it is difficult to obtain each sensor's precise relative position. Therefore a method of array shape calibration is proposed. The method is described as follows. Firstly two separate auxiliary sources are deployed. Secondly tune delay of each sensor's received signal is estimated. Finally, with the aid of GPS location of the sources and the horizontal array, relative sensor positions of the horizontal array can be determined. The estimation of relative sensor positions is unbiased. Simultaneously, simulation analysis has been done to estimate its standard variance, and the optimal flare angle of the two sources has been derived. Data of 2001 Asian Sea International Experiment have been used to validate the method. After array calibration, measured source azimuth angle agrees with the real one, and measured array gain agrees with the theoretical gain. In conclusion, the theoretical and experimental results both show that the method can determine each sensor's relative position precisely.
