A test of factorization methods in coupled channel reaction theory

Factorization methods used in shell-model approaches to nuclear reactions provide a good starting point for perturbative treatments of direct coupling. General algebraic equations are given for zero and higher orders. Problems of convergence of the Born series are tested with a soluble model. It is shown that the zero-order approximation is quite good. First- and second-order corrections are calculated and exhibit a rapid convergence. The influence of parameters entering in factorization formulae is discussed.     

Linear-chain ferromagnetism in the one-dimensional compounds CoCl2(pyrazole)2 and CoCl2(indazole)2

Two linear-chain compounds of formula CoCl₂L₂, with L = pyrazole (pz) and indazole (indz), have been investigated with the aid of IR, far-IR, ligand field and ESR spectra. Magnetic susceptibility data have been collected in the temperature region 4.2–80 K. Analysis of the susceptibility data in terms of the Ising model yielded the values of the ferromagnetic intrachain exchange constants J = 7.2(6) and 7.4(9) cm^-1 for the pz and indz compound, with corresponding g-values of g∥ = 7.9(7), g⊥ = 4.6(9) and g∥ = 10.8(9), g⊥ = 3(1), respectively. The results are discussed and compared with the similar compound CoCl₂(pyridine)₂. The influence of the bridge geometry and of the π-bonding properties of the organic ligands on the exchange constant are considered for the explanation of different J-values. It is suggested that the π-bonding properties of the organic ligand influence the magnitude of the superexchange constant to a great extent.     

Chalcogen adsorption on Ni(100)

The successive stages of the oxidation of Ni(100) have been investigated by angle-resolved uv photoemission. The adsorption spectra are very similar to that measured previously for the same surface saturated with sulphur. Results are interpreted using recent theoretical calculations. It is found that this interpretation can be extended to the other chalcogens adsorbed on Ni(100). When increasing oxygen exposures, photoemission spectra have shown a continuity of the electronic character in the oxidation process.     

13C?1H spin–spin couplings in cyclic α,β-unsaturated enones and their protonated derivatives. Measurements and quantum chemical calculations

Direct and long-range ¹³C? ¹H coupling constants are presented for the enone moieties of cyclopent-2-enone, cyclohex-2-enone and their protonated derivatives. A correlation is given between the experimental values and the results of quantum chemical calculations (CNDO/2, INDO). The existing calculations are modified in order to improve the relationship between the calculated and experimental results.     

Two-dimensional convexities are join-hull commutative

It is shown that two-dimensional convex structures with certain natural properties are join-hull commutative. The main intermediate step is the computation of the so-called exchange number. We also give two examples of three-dimensional convexities which are not join-hull commutative. The second one has certain additional properties showing that the main theorem is sharp in many other respects. These properties are obtained from a study of convex hyperspaces.     

Quantum Boltzmann equations for binary interactions between identical particles

The inhomogeneous master equation obtained in a previous paper (by Van Vliet) is employed to obtain as first-moment equation two quantum mechanical Boltzmann equations (diagonal) for systems of weakly interacting identical particles. The interactions considered are of a binary nature: fermion-fermion or boson-boson. The resulting equations have the same structure as before. The total Boltzmann equation (diagonal and nondiagonal part) is also derived.     

The distribution of high multipole strength in finite nuclei

The multiple strength associated with the operator r^LY_L for L? 6 is distributed at much lower energies when calculated for nucleons moving in a finite potential well than when a harmonic oscillator well is used. The residual interactions would push these isoscalar resonances further down.     

Mössbauer study of the disorder in crystalline and amorphous Ge implanted with 125mTe ions

Crystalline and amorphous Ge and amorphous Ge_0.8Te_0.2 were implanted with ^125mTe. The Mössbauer spectra showed quadrupole split doublets. The isomer shift and quadrupole split values suggested that the atomic configuration around Te after implantation in Ge is similar to that of amorphous GeTe.
