Multiple scattering of gamma rays in water,concrete and sand

The transmitted photon spectra of¹³³Ba,²²Na,¹³⁷Cs,⁵⁴Mn and⁶⁰Co point sources are measured through different thicknesses of water, concrete and sand. The multiple-scatter peaks observed in these materials at 60, 90 and 100 keV energies respectively are found to be independent of incident photon energy and thickness of the medium.

Optical absorption spectrum of Ni2+ doped in ammonium zinc sulphate

The optical absorption spectrum of Ni²⁺ ion doped in ammonium zinc sulphate has been studied at room and liquid air temperatures. From the nature and the positions of the bands a successful interpretation of all the bands could be made assumingO _h symmetry for the Ni²⁺ ion in the crystal. The fine splitting of the³ T ₁ ¹ band at liquid air temperature has been successfully interpreted to be due to spin-orbit interaction. The crystal field and spin-orbit parameters derived areDq=1000 cm⁻¹;B=750 cm⁻¹;C=3.45B andξ=600 cm⁻¹.

Determination of the Gamow–Teller strength function for the neutron-deficient isotopes In

The Gamow–Teller β decays of the neutron-deficient indium isotopes ^104–107In have been investigated by using total absorption γ-ray spectrometry on mass-separated sources. The experimental Gamow–Teller strength, deduced as a function of the excitation energy in the daughter nuclei ^104–107Cd, is compared to shell-model predictions.     

Electromagnetically induced transparency and evolution of a two-level system under chaotic field of arbitrary intensity

The electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) with a (near-)resonant chaotic (amplitude-phase fluctuating, Gaussian-Markovian) coupling field is studied theoretically. The Fourier transform of the steady-state EIT spectrum, which determines a nonstationary probe absorption, is also considered. This quantity equals the average diagonal element of the (reduced) evolution operator of the coupled transition (the evolution function). The exact solution in the form of a continued fraction is obtained and used to perform numerical calculations. Moreover, a number of approximate analytical results are obtained, which, together with the results of previous publications, describe the EIT and the evolution function in all possible regimes. In particular, in the constructive-interference case the EIT increases with the coupling-field bandwidth ν at sufficiently small ν. For a strong field, the maximum of the transparency as a function of ν is less than that for a monochromatic field of the same average intensity. In contrast, for a weak field, there is a range of ν values, where the field fluctuations do not affect the EIT. The latter result is shown to hold for a broad class of stochastic fields.

An Ultra-Wideband Janus Metastructure with Graphene for Detector Based on Anapole Mode in the Terahertz Region

In this paper, an ultra-wideband Janus metastructure (MS) utilizing anapole mode for detector in the terahertz (THz) range by graphene is proposed. Specifically, when Fermi level (E_f) is set to 0.9 eV, the MS demonstrates ultra-broadband absorption exceeding 0.9 from 0.754 to 5 THz in the −z-direction with a relative bandwidth of 147.6 %, in which perfect absorption of over 98% develops from 3.24 to 5 THz. In the case of the +z-direction, the absorptivity maintains around 0.6 within the 0.745 ∼ 5 THz range. As E_f equals 0 eV, the difference in absorption between the −z-direction and +z-direction exceeds 0.9 from 4.49 to 4.76 THz. The study also explores the MS for refractive index sensing near 3.71 THz by a unique difference detection, measuring two refractive index ranges: 1.2 ∼ 2.6 and 4.5 ∼ 4.7, with corresponding sensitivities of 0.0450 and 0.0304, respectively. Owing to its highly symmetrical structure, the MS is insensitive to the polarization state of the electromagnetic (EM) waves, performing remarkable angular stability as the incident angle varies from 0 to 60 degrees in the −z-direction. These splendid properties make the design a good candidate for biomedical sensing, EM cloaking, and full-space EM wave control.     

Influence of iron-subgroup metals on the atomization of silicon in a graphite furnace

The regime of atomization of Si in the presence of Fe-subgroup metals was investigated with the use of a “Saturn” spectrophotometer and a “Graphit-2” electrothermic atomizer. The optimal operating parameters of the atomizer have been determined. It was established that the optimal value of the ashing and the atomization temperatures are, respectively, 900–1000°C and 2400°C, the optimal rate of temperature rise at the stage of atomization is 1400 K/sec, and the appropriate amount of Fe, Co and Ni additions is 1–2 μg. It was established that the formation of gaseous silicides of the Fe-subgroup metals, the dissociation energies of which are lower than the dissociation energies of Si oxides and carbides, increases the sensitivity for determination of Si.
