Inelastic scattering and radiative capture of protons by Cr50 and Cr54

Total yields and angular distributions of gamma rays following the inelastic scattering of protons from Cr⁵⁰ and Cr⁵⁴ have been measured at proton energies below 2.5 MeV. Gamma ray spectra resulting from the proton radiative capture by Cr⁵⁰ and Cr⁵⁴ were obtained. Transitions from most of the Mn⁵¹ and Mn⁵⁵ low-lying levels have been observed. The experimental results are in good agreement with predictions of the statistical compound nucleus theory.     

(InSb/GaAs)-Au hybrid macro-structure prepared by flash evaporation

n-Type indium antimonide-Au hybrid macro-structure was successfully fabricated on p-GaAs substrate by a simple and economic flash evaporation technique. The elemental composition of the prepared InSb film was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy microanalysis (EDX). The surface topography and crystal structure of the InSb film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The magnetoresistance of the prepared hybrid macro-structure was measured and discussed in terms of the model of current redistribution.
