γ-ray spectroscopy of excited states in 61 30Zn31

The ⁶¹ ₃₀Zn₃₁ isotope has been produced at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the fusion-evaporation reaction ⁴⁰Ca(²⁴Mg, 2pn)⁶¹Zn at 104MeV. The experimental set-up allowed γ-rays to be detected in the CLARION Ge detector array in coincidence with the detection of recoiling nuclei in the focal plane at the end of the recoil mass spectrometer. This provides a unique identification of γ-rays belonging to ⁶¹Zn. The excited states have been explored by means of recoil- γγ coincidences, and the resulting decay scheme comprises almost 70 transitions. The data reveal numerous non-yrast states and suggest a revised spin and parity assignment for a previously observed superdeformed band. The resulting decay scheme is compared to predictions from different sets of large-scale shell model calculations.     

Spectral Characteristics of Edge Electrostatic Turbulence in the HL-2A Tokamak

A three-tip array is used in the HL-2A tokamak to investigate the spectral characteristics of electrostatic turbulence inside the last closed flux surface （LCFS） about 5 cm. Two-point correlation techniques are used to analysis the turbulence structure. It is found that the drift wave turbulence mainly is composed of low-frequency and long wavelength wave packets. The poloidal propagation is mainly in electron-diamagnetic direction, sometimes it propagates in ion-diamagnetic direction, which is influenced by Doppler-frequency shift. The radial propagation velocity is outward and the sizeable fraction of the poloidal velocity, implying that the radial mode plays an important role in the cross field transport.     

Review on gaseous chlorinated organic pollutants electron beam treatment

Literature on chlorinated organic compounds (Cl–HC) treatment in different conditions using EB-irradiation was reviewed and results of the studies are reported, and compared with own results. The differences in degradation efficiency of aliphatic and aromatic Cl–HC compounds were compared. The experiments and the calculations were performed for air, N₂, He and H₂ gas matrices and influence of different additives such as water vapour and NH₃ on the process were studied. The general chemical mechanism of Cl–HC degradation in gas phase under EB-irradiation has been proposed.     

激发能升高级联裂变到瞬发多重碎裂的演化

分析⁴⁰Ar+¹⁵⁹Tb、¹⁹⁷Au、²⁰⁹Bi(25MeV/u)中心碰撞产生的三体碎片产物的角关联,配合Ar+Au(60MeV/u)三体出射的数据,分析非完全熔合反应产生的高激发核衰变的演化过程,证明了在25MeV/u入射能时激发核产生的三重大质量碎片是级联的两次出射的裂变形成的,其时间差尺度大约为1000fm/c,而对60MeV/u入射能下的激发核观察到重碎片在120°附近出现强的角关联,这在理论上解释为发射时间差较短,即出现了瞬发的多重碎裂.

Asphericity in the Fermi Surface and Fermi Energy of Na-K, Na-Rb and Na-Cs Binary Alloys

Detailed theoretical investigations into asphericity in the Fermi surface (FS) and Fermi energy (FE) ofNa1_xKx, Na1_xRbx, and Na1_xCsx binary solid solutions are carried out for the first time. The alloying behavior ofthe K, Rb, and Cs with the Na generates the Fermi surface distortion (FSD) of bce simple metals. The FS of Na-K,Na-Rb, and Na-Cs solid solution is a distorted sphere with the largest deviation along [110]. We have found that theimpact of local-field correction function on FSD is maximun at [100] point and minimum at [111] point. The exchangeand correlation effect is found to suppress the value of FE.     

A new method for generating and analysing digital speckle shearing correlation fringe patterns

A method for generating a high visibility digital speckle shearing fringe pattern is proposed. A three-step phase shifting technique which involves the introduction of arbitrary phases is utilized. The phase shifting technique is carried out using a rotating mirror and a theoretical model which involves a linear correlation algorithm is discussed. Experimental results showing correlation fringe patterns and a deformation phase map are presented.     

Surface and catalytic properties of Cu–Ce–O composite oxides prepared by combustion method

Surface and catalytic properties of Cu–Ce–O composite materials prepared by solution combustion method have been investigated. The materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). The results of EPR and TPR show finely dispersed Cu²⁺ species on ceria matrix with low copper content. The Cu²⁺ species exists in the form of dimers and clusters which are not evident in XRD. In addition CuO is also present as small clusters which grow to larger size at higher Cu content. There is no evidence of CuO forming a solid solution with fluorite CeO₂ in combustion method. The Cu²⁺ species mostly appear on surface rather than in the bulk. Hydrogen peroxide decomposition kinetics has been carried out on Cu–Ce–O composite materials to investigate the effect of crystalline and well-dispersed copper oxide phases on CeO₂. From kinetic results, the catalyst materials can be grouped into highly dispersed as well as crystalline CuO phases present on CeO₂ matrix. Two parallel compensating lines for dispersed and crystalline CuO phases on CeO₂ are observed in ln A versus E_a plot indicating the compensation effect in H₂O₂ decomposition. This observation is consistent with XRD and EPR results.     

Bernstein theorems and transformations of correlation measures in statistical physics

We study the class of endomorphisms of the cone of correlation functions generated by probability measures. We consider algebraic properties of the products (·, ?) and the maps K, K ^?1 which establish relationships between the properties of functions on the configuration space and the properties of the corresponding operators (matrices with Boolean indices): F(γ) → F?(γ) = {F(α?β)}α,β?γ. For the operators F?(γ) and F?(γ), we prove conditions which ensure that these operators are positive definite; the conditions are given in terms of complete or absolute monotonicity properties of the function F(γ).
