An average energy of a high temperature part of ions in turbulently heated plasmas was measured by use of a secondary emission detector, and availability of this simple method for a determination of an average ion energy was discussed.     

Remarks on the relation between the Lee-Yang circle theorem and the correlation inequalities

We investigate the relation between the Lee-Yang circle theorem and the correlation inequalities. These results are general and independent of models. General properties of the partition functions which belong to the Lee-Yang class are given.     

Calculation of surface peak intensity in MeV ion scattering. II

Monte Carlo calculations have been performed to evaluate the surface peak from 1 MeV He ions incident on Si(001) and Si(111) crystal surfaces. Detailed angular dependences of the surface peaks were obtained for tilt angles of ?2° and azimuthal angles of ?45° in the vicinity of axial channeling directions. The validity of the triangular background subtraction is discussed for cases of tilted incidence from axial channeling directions. The multiple scattering effect in thin adlayers on the crystal, which is important in application of MeV ion scattering to interfaces studies, is simulated and correlated with evaluation of the interface peak value of the substrate atoms.     

WIDE RANGE DETECTOR USING PARABOLIC CYLINDRICAL MIRROR FOR THz APPLICATIONS

A new, wide-band, high-speed and high-sensitivity THz detector has been developed. The prototype detector consists of a parabolic cylindrical mirror, a long wire antenna and a Schottky barrier diode. Direct detection measurements have shown a stable sensitivity of 150 ± 50 V/W for 1–2 THz without any adjustments. The long wire antenna was fixed at the focus of parabolic cylindrical mirror then it has been realized less operation steps, easy coupling to the external THz signals and a dramatic enhancement in the practicality of this system. The optically polished mirror and frosted surface one showed comparable sensitivities, thus easy polishing and less cost mirror fabrication can be applied for this system. The radiation pattern showed a maximum radiation angle of approximately 23° with its dominant main lobe, which was attributed to the wire antenna character and confirmed good agreements with classical antenna theory.     

Magnetic behavior of Fe0.2Mg0.8TiO3 and Fe0.3Mg0.7TiO3 probed by Mössbauer timescale

Magnetization and Mössbauer measurements have been made on a diluted antiferromagnets Fe_xMg_1?xTiO₃ with x=0.2, 0.3 and 0.7. It has been demonstrated that this system exhibits a spin glass or a reentrant spin glass like behavior in the samples with x around the percolation concenrration x_c≈0.25. It has been shown that various sizes of magnetic clusters are formed well above the transition temperatures determined by the magnetization measurements in the samples with x near x_c. The behavior of Fe_0.2Mg_0.8TiO₃ is discussed as a typical cluster glass.     

绿肥对华北潮土土壤可溶性有机物的影响

在华北潮土上种植不同绿肥,于绿肥翻压前原位采集其地上部及土壤样品,进行56d的绿肥翻压模拟试验。设毛叶苕子(Vicia villosa Roth.)、二月兰(Orychophragmus Violaceus L.)、黑麦(Secale cereale L.)三个绿肥处理和无绿肥对照处理,分析培养过程中土壤可溶性有机物(DOM)组分及其紫外-可见光谱参数的变化,以探究绿肥对土壤DOM的影响。种植和翻压绿肥增加土壤可溶性有机碳(DOC)、总有机酸碳(TOAs)和总碳水化合物碳(TCs)含量,三者的变化趋势一致,各处理均在培养第1 d上升至峰值后迅速下降。毛叶苕子提高DOC和TOAs的效果最好,最高比对照增加114.01%(培养第1d)和109.10%(培养第14 d)。黑麦提高TCs的效果最好,最高比对照增加323.18%(培养第42 d)。种植和翻压绿肥增加土壤可溶性有机氮(DON)含量,与DOC变化趋势不同,各处理在培养第1 d上升后迅速下降一段时间后又迅速上升。毛叶苕子提高DON的效果最好,最高比对照增加305.83%(培养第42d)。绿肥增加了SUVA₂₅₄,SUVA₂₆₀,SUVA₂₇₂,SUVA₂₈₀,SAUC_240-400,降低了A₂₅₀/A₃₆₅和A₂₄₀/A₄₂₀。紫外-可见光谱参数的主成分分析显示SUVA₂₅₄,SUVA₂₆₀,SUVA₂₇₂,SUVA₂₈₀间有很高正相关性,A₂₅₀/A₃₆₅和A₂₄₀/A₄₂₀间亦有很高正相关性,SAUC_240-400是这些参数中表征DOM性质的关键因子。综上结果表明,种植翻压绿肥增加了土壤DOM含量,提高了土壤DOM的芳香性、疏水性、腐殖化程度、平均分子量,增加了土壤DOM的稳定性。     

Phase rotation scheme of laser-produced ions for reduction of the energy spread

In order to widely spread out particle beams utilized in cancer therapy, laser-produced ions are developed as the injection beam for an ion synchrotron dedicated for cancer therapy. Such a laser ion source is expected to contribute largely to the realization of compactness of the size and low cost of the cancer therapy accelerator. The energy spectrum of the laser-produced ions, however, has no peak, but their intensities decrease exponentially according to the increase of the energy. For the purpose of modifying such a situation, we have proposed a scheme to rotate the beam in the longitudinal phase space with the use of the RF electric field, which is phase-adjusted with the pulse laser. We aim for a reduction of the energy spread of ± 5% selected by an energy analyzer and slits to ±1% by such phase rotation. For this purpose, a quarter wavelength resonator with two gaps with the same resonant frequency as the source laser has already been fabricated, together with its RF power source. The above phase rotation system and its recent experimental realization are presented.     

Combinatorial computational chemistry approach of tight-binding quantum chemical molecular dynamics method to the design of the automotive catalysts

Recently, we have developed a new tight-binding quantum chemical molecular dynamics program “Colors” for combinatorial computational chemistry approach. This methodology is based on our original tight-binding approximation and realized over 5000 times acceleration compared to the conventional first-principles molecular dynamics method. In the present study, we applied our new program to the simulations on various realistic large-scale models of the automotive three-way catalysts, ultrafine Pt particle/CeO₂(111) support. Significant electron transfer from the Pt particle to the CeO₂(111) surface was observed and it was found to strongly depend on the size of the Pt particle. Furthermore, our simulation results suggest that the reduction of the Ce atom due to the electron transfer from the Pt particle to the CeO₂ surface is a main reason for the strong interaction of the Pt particle and CeO₂(111) support.
