Raman scattering in 3RNbS2

Raman scattering spectra on a layer type compound 3RNbS₂ were measured at 300 and 77 K, and three peaks were observed at 382, 325 and 281 cm^?1 at 300 K. The vibration modes were analyzed in terms of Bromley's nearest neighbour model, and a good agreement with the experiment was obtained.     

ToF atom-probe fim study of LaB6 single crystals

The field evaporation mass spectra of LaB₆ are obtained with time-of-flight atom-probe field ion microscope in vacuum and in the presence of hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. The spectra are consistent with a preferential chemisorption of these gases on boron sites.     

Randomly transitional phenomena in the system governed by Duffing's equation

This paper deals with turbulent or chaotic phenomena which occur in the system governed by Duffing's equation, a special type of two-dimensional periodic system. By using analog and digital computers, experiments are carried out with special reference to the change of attractors and of average power spectra of the random processes under the variation of the system parameters. On the basis of the experimental results, an outline of the random process is made clear. The results obtained in this paper will be applied to various physical problems and will also serve as material for the development of a proper mathematics of this phenomenon.

On the construction of exact solutions of the stationary axially symmetric Einstein equations

Summary For the stationary axially symmetric vacuum, field, the Einstein equations reduce to a system for the logarithmic derivatives of the unknown function. An inverse scattering formula and a Bäcklund transformation are presented for the reduced system. As the simplest case, successive uses of the Bäcklund transformation give the Kasner type solutions and their generalization starting from the Minkowski metric.     

Study of the surface electromigration of In on Si(111) surfaces by the use of micro-electron-beams

The surface electromigration (SE) of ultrathin In films on Si(111)4 × 1-In surfaces has been investigated using experimental techniques based on μ-electron beams. On the basis of the finding that the SE velocity enhances as the strength of the electrostatic field (EF) fed through the substrate enhances, it is strongly suggested that the driving force of SE is an EF rather than a DC current fed through the substrate. It is found that a patch of ultrathin In film changes to an In patch of 1 × 1 periodicity during SE which is accompanied by spotty parts (named fine-polygons) at both the cathode and anode sides of the In patch. It is found that the fine-polygons are created at the cathode side and are stationary but grow in size to be eventually incorporated into the In-patch. A few In-islands are found on the cathode side of the In-patch and they show no translation but cycles of appearance, growth, decay, and disappearance during SE, by which mass-transportation is achieved. A plausible microscopic model for the SE is presented based on these findings.     

Collinear fast atomic-beam laser spectroscopy at riken garis/igisol

We have constructed a fast atomic-beam collinear laser spectroscopy system connected to the on-line isotope separator facility GARIS/IGISOL at RIKEN. This system is potentially powerful in studying refractory elements. To test the system, an off-line collinear experiment was made on stable Hf isotopes produced by means of laser ablation technique. For production of radioactive Hf isotopes, the use of the inverse kinematics of a fusion reaction,⁹Be(¹⁶⁶Er,xn)^175-x Hf, was investigated. The radioactive isotope¹⁶⁹Hf was successfully extracted from GARIS/IGISOL and accelerated up to 30 keV.

Study of γ d → π + π − d Reaction in an Energy Region of 0.67 ≤ E γ ≤ 1.08 GeV

Double charged pion photoproductions from the deuteron have been studied at Research Center for Electron Photon Science (ELPH), Tohoku University. Tagged photon beams in an energy range of 0.67 ≤ E _γ ≤ 1.08 GeV were impinged on the liquid deuteron target. Produced charged particles were observed with the Neutral Kaon Spectrometer2 (NKS2). The γ d → π ⁺ π ^? d process was clearly separated among the three charged tracks. We obtained the photon energy dependence of the normalized yields of this process.     

Discovery of temperature-dependent phenomena of muon-catalyzed fusion in solid deuterium and tritium mixtures

A systematic experimental study on muon-catalyzed fusion was conducted using a series of solid deuterium and tritium mixtures. A variety of conditions were investigated, i.e., tritium concentrations from 20% to 70%, and temperatures from 5 to 16 K. With decreasing temperature, we observed an unexpected decrease in the muon cycling rate (lambda(c)) and an increase in the muon loss probability (W). The origins of these observed changes were interpreted by the temperature-dependence in the dt mu formation process for lambda(c) and that in the muon reactivation process after muon-to-alpha sticking for W.
