Spin waves and quantum criticality in the frustrated XY pyrochlore antiferromagnet Er2Ti2O7

We report detailed measurements of the low temperature magnetic phase diagram of Er2Ti2O7. Heat capacity and time-of-flight neutron scattering studies of single crystals reveal unconventional low-energy states. Er3+ magnetic ions reside on a pyrochlore lattice in Er2Ti2O7, where local XY anisotropy and antiferromagnetic interactions give rise to a unique frustrated system. In zero field, the ground state exhibits coexisting short and long-range order, accompanied by soft collective spin excitations previously believed to be absent. The application of finite magnetic fields tunes the ground state continuously through a landscape of noncollinear phases, divided by a zero temperature phase transition at micro{0}H{c} approximately 1.5 T. The characteristic energy scale for spin fluctuations is seen to vanish at the critical point, as expected for a second order quantum phase transition driven by quantum fluctuations.     

Study of ψ(4415) in the QPC model

Some authors consider the ψ(4415) to be the 4S or 5S excited tate of a cc pair. Starting from this assumption, we study he decays of the ψ(4415) to DD, D^*D^*, D_SD_S, D_S^*D_S^*, and get the corresponding branching ratios in terms of the Quark-Pair-Creation (QPC) model. Compared with the experimental data, we find that the results of 4S state agree much better than those of the 5S state. Therefore, it is more reasonable to assume the ψ(4415) to be a 4S state.

Activation of the pre-supplementary motor area but not inferior prefrontal cortex in association with short stop signal reaction time – an intra-subject analysis

Background  

Our previous work described the neural processes of motor response inhibition during a stop signal task (SST). Employing the race model, we computed the stop signal reaction time (SSRT) to index individuals' ability in inhibitory control. The pre-supplementary motor area (preSMA), which shows greater activity in individuals with short as compared to those with long SSRT, plays a role in mediating response inhibition. In contrast, the right inferior prefrontal cortex (rIFC) showed greater activity during stop success as compared to stop error. Here we further pursued this functional differentiation of preSMA and rIFC on the basis of an intra-subject approach.     

ICP光源中载气压力对等离子体辐射强度的影响

为了提高ICP光源等离子体的辐射强度,利用常规同心气动雾化器,增大载气压力,提高样品溶液的雾化效率,并且通过释放掉部分气溶胶的方法,以合适的流速将样品送入等离子体焰。经过测量水样品中元素Ca,Si,Sr和Zn的谱线强度表明,在常规条件下载气压力为0.05 MPa时有谱线峰值强度;当释放掉部分气溶胶以后,在0.07 MPa的载气压力下测得的峰值强度分别提高了38%,79%,45%和70%。另外,使用较高的载气压力并不影响等离子体辐射的稳定性。     

Quantum states of hydrogen transfer and vibration in malonaldehyde

New ab initio results on the 21D potential energy surface of malonaldehyde and a quantum mechanical treatment of the hydrogen transfer motion and its interaction with all vibrations are presented. An explicit approximate reaction path, close to the minimum energy path but matching the reactive normal mode near equilibrium, allows one to predict the ground state tunnelling frequency even when using small basis sets. With a barrier of 1144 cm^?1 (3.27kcal mol-¹) the tunnelling splitting is predicted to be 22.0cm^?1 for the parent species and 3.8 cm^?1 for the species deuterated in the hydrogen bond, in good agreement with the observed values 21.6 and 2.9 cm^?1, respectively. Predicted energy levels for excited states of the hydrogen transfer motion and for the non-reactive vibrations suggest a re-examination of the vibrational spectra and an extension of the number of vibrational factors in the basis set to improve the results for the vibrationally excited states.

Microwave spectra and structure of an isoxazole-water complex

The rotational spectrum of a hydrogen-bonded isoxazole-water complex has been measured between 6–18 GHz with a pulsed nozzle Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. In addition to isoxazole-H₂O, the complexes with HDO and D₂O as well as isoxazole-¹⁵ N-H₂O have been investigated in order to determine the structure of the complex. Rotational constants, quartic centrifugal distortion constants and quadrupole coupling constants, where applicable, have been fitted to the measured transition frequencies of the isotopomers. Structural data, which have been deduced from the planar moments of inertia and the quadrupole coupling constants of the isotopomers, have established conclusively that water binds to nitrogen in the ring plane of isoxazole. Ab initio calculations have revealed that complexes with a hydrogen-bond to nitrogen or to oxygen are both stable. The complex with water attached to nitrogen has been found to be more strongly bound than that with water attached to oxygen. Small splittings of the rotational transitions of the two complexes with H₂O have been interpreted as being the result of an internal rotation of water with respect to isoxazole.
