Qβ measurements of 158, 159Pm , 159, 161Sm , 160-165Eu , 163Gd and 166Tb using a total absorption BGO detector

Q _β values of the neutron-rich isotopes of ^160-165Eu and ¹⁶³Gd were measured for the first time using a total absorption bismuth germanate (BGO) detector, and previously obtained data on ^{158, 159}Pm , ^{159, 161}Sm and ¹⁶⁶Tb were re-analyzed. These radioactive sources were prepared by an on-line mass separator (Tokai-ISOL) following the ²³⁸U (p,f reaction. The deduced Q _β values are the following: 6085(80)keV for ¹⁵⁸Pm , 3805(65)keV for ¹⁵⁹Sm , 5460(140)keV for ¹⁵⁹Pm , 4705(60)keV for ¹⁶⁰Eu , 5065(130)keV for ¹⁶¹Sm , 3705(60)keV for ¹⁶¹Eu , 5575(60)keV for ¹⁶²Eu , 4690(70)keV for ¹⁶³Eu , 3170(70)keV for ¹⁶³Gd , 6430(70)keV for ¹⁶⁴Eu , 5800(120)keV for ¹⁶⁵Eu , and 4695(70)keV for ¹⁶⁶Tb . Moreover, the deduced mass excesses and two-neutron separation energies ( S _2n values) were compared with those of the atomic mass evaluations and theoretical predictions.     

New investigation of the decay of the high-spin isomer in 151Er

The decay of the T _1/2 = 420 ns isomer in ¹⁵¹Er has been reinvestigated. The multipolarities of the decaying transitions have been established by measuring the electron conversion coefficients. An I ^π = 67/2⁻ assignment is proposed for this isomer with a π[h ₁₁^2/4 d ₃^2/1 d ₅^2/−1]⊗ν[f _7/2 h _9/2 h ₁₁^2/−1] configuration.

波导FEL振荡器的孔耦合输出特性

波长500μm的远红外自由电子激光振荡器,是由平面波导和两个对称金属柱面镜组成的半封闭光腔。由于反射镜具有反射率,在下游镜的轴上开一个半径为Rh的圆孔来输出功率。孔耦合输出是一种简单、有效的输出方式,并可以广谱输出。缺点是抽取率随波长变化,计算很复杂。本文给出了用三维程序数值模拟结果。给出了腔内功率,输出功率,抽取率及腔镜边缘的衍射损失随小孔半径的变化。结果表明,选取适当的孔径,既可以有效地输出功率,又能保持较高的腔内功率和较纯净的腔模。

High-K quasiparticle structures in 159Er and 160Er

A series of new strongly coupled high-K, multi-quasiparticle structures have been observed in the light erbium transitional nuclei, ¹⁵⁹Er and ¹⁶⁰Er. The interpretation of these bands is discussed within the framework of the cranked shell model. These sequences, when taken together with the existing quasiparticle excitations, form a near complete set of low-lying, multi-quasiparticle structures on which a coherent series of aligned angular momentum, band crossing and blocking arguments can be based. The measured B(M1)/B(E2) ratios are compared with geometrical calculations to test the proposed configuration assignments. Received: 19 November 1997     

Intrinsic surface binding energy shifts in Yb metal

We report on the four-peak structure observed in the region of 4f photoemission in Yb metal, using synchrotron radiation in the energy range 70–200 eV. We conclude, contrary to previous reports, that the doublet associated with surface emissions results from an intrinsic surface shift on clean regions of the surface. We also demonstrate that the observed structure is consistent with earlier XPS measurements, and we set an upper limit on the width of the bulk peaks.     

On the conformational stability and dimerization of phosphotransferase enzyme I from Escherichia coli

The activity of enzyme I (EI), the first protein in the bacterial PEP:sugar phosphotransferase system, is regulated by a monomer–dimer equilibrium where a Mg²⁺-dependent autophosphorylation by PEP requires the homodimer. Using inactive EI(H189A), in which alanine is substituted for the active-site His189, substrate binding effects can be separated from those of phosphorylation. Whereas 1 mM PEP (with 2 mM Mg²⁺) strongly promotes dimerization of EI(H189A) at pH 7.5 and 20 °C, 5 mM pyruvate (with 2 mM Mg²⁺) has the opposite effect. A correlation between the coupling of N- and C-terminal domain unfolding, measured by differential scanning calorimetry, and the dimerization constant for EI, determined by sedimentation equilibrium, is observed. That is, when the coupling between N- and C-terminal domain unfolding produced by 0.2 or 1.0 mM PEP and 2 mM Mg²⁺ is inhibited by 5 mM pyruvate, the dimerization constant for EI(H189A) decreases from >10⁸ to <5 × 10⁵ or 3 × 10⁷ M⁻¹, respectively. With 2 mM Mg²⁺ at 15–25 °C and pH 7.5, PEP has been found to bind to one site/monomer of EI(H189A) with K_A′10⁶ M⁻¹ (ΔG′=−33.7±0.2 kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔH=+16.3 kJ mol⁻¹ at 20 °C with ΔC_p=−1.4 kJ K⁻¹ mol⁻¹). The binding of PEP to EI(H189A) is synergistic with that of Mg²⁺. Thus, physiological concentrations of PEP and Mg²⁺ increase, whereas pyruvate and Mg²⁺ decrease the amount of dimeric, active, dephospho-enzyme I.
