用Technicolor理论研究稀有辐射衰变B_c→D_sγ

在一代Ｔｅｃｈｎｉｃｏｌｏｒ（ＴＣＩ）和带有一个无质量的标量二重态（ＴＣⅡ）模型下，计算荷电的哥尔斯通粒子对衰变Ｂ＿ｃ→Ｄ＿ｓγ的贡献，并把它们同标准模型的计算相比较，发现哥尔斯通粒子对电磁企鹅图的贡献很大（ＴＣＩ下），在ＴＣⅡ下贡献较小；而对弱湮没图的贡献可以忽略不计，还对同位旋三重态粒子π＋ｐ的质量进行了约束。预言将来在ＬＨＣ上能对不同模型下的分支比Ｂｒ（Ｂｃ→Ｄｓγ）的差异进行研究，进而对不同的模型进行检验。     

Copolyimides containing alicyclic and fluorinated groups: Characterization of the film microstructure

The microstructures of a series of copolyimide films were characterized with different experimental methods such as density measurements, X‐ray diffraction, ultraviolet‐visible spectrophotometry, positron annihilation spectroscopy, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The experimental data were linked to the chemical structures of the polymers and especially the alicyclic and fluorinated monomers. Some analysis responses were directly dependent on the fluorine atoms and, therefore, did not provide clear information about the microstructures. The chain organization in the amorphous films appeared to be significantly dependent on the effect of the casting solvent. The influence of the alicyclic group content was quite significant for a nonsubstituted diamine but was strongly attenuated with a fluorinated diamine. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Molecular weight-dependence of free volume in polystyrene studied by positron annihilation measurements

Positron annihilation lifetime measurements are reported for four monodisperse polystyrenes with molar mass M = 4,000, 9,200, 25,000, and 400,000. The temperature dependences of orthopositronium (o-Ps) lifetime (τ₃) and intensity (I₃) were measured from 5°C to T_g + 30°C for each sample. From these data, the free volume hole size, 〈v_f(τ₃)〉, and fractional free volume h_ps=CI₃〈v_f(τ₃)〉 were calculated. The temperature dependences of τ₃, 〈v_f(τ₃)〉 and h_ps show a discrete change in slope at an effective glass transition temperature, T_g,ps, which is measurably below the conventional bulk T_g. This suggests that τ₃ is sensitive to large holes which retain their liquid-like mobility in the glassy state. Good agreement was found for T > h_g,ps between h_ps and the theoretical free volume fraction h_th deduced from experimental P-V-T data for polystyrene using the statistical mechanical theory of Simha and Somcynsky. Below T_g,ps, deviations between h_ps and h_th are observed, h_ps falling increasingly below h_th as temperature decreases. Whereas h_ps and h_th depend strongly on M in the melt, each essentially independent of M in the glass. A free volume quantity, computed from the bulk volume, which is in good numerical agreement with the Simha-Somcynsky h-function in the melt, gives improved agreement with h_ps in the glassy state. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Positron angular correlation measurements on single-crystal aluminum at various temperatures

We have tested the trapping model by comparing the temperature dependence of the peak and the tail of the angular correlation curve from single crystal aluminum. The integral over the tail decreased as the integral over the peak increased with temperature, in such a way that the same vacancy formation energy could be deduced from both integrals.

Method for construction of operators in Fock space

It is shown, by providing a general method for the construction that any Fock space linear operator defined on the dense linear manifold spanned by the particle number representation basis can be represented in terms of the annihilation and creation operators. The normal form of the representation is unique.     

Positron decay in polymers: Molecular weight dependence in polystyrene

The decay time τ_l ofo-Ps by the electron pickoff process has been measured in polystyrene as a function of molecular weight. For samples below their glass transition temperature τ_l is essentially independent of . In the low molecular weight region, , τ_l increased with decreasing in line with earlier theoretical predictions. The overall behaviour reflects closely the dependence of free volume on . The effects of molecular motion on τ_l are examined and it is concluded that the decay time is insensitive to such motions in polystyrene below the melting point, in contrast to what is observed in polytetrafluoroethylene.     

Spectrophotometric determination of acidity constants by two-rank annihilation factor analysis

Annihilation of the contribution of one chemical component from the original data matrix is a general method in rank annihilation factor analysis (RAFA). However, RAFA is not applicable for studying the protonation equilibria of multiprotic acids. In this work, a two-rank annihilation factor analysis (TRAFA) method was proposed for determination of the acidity constants of diprotic acids. After recording the electronic absorbance spectra of the acids at different pH, the contributions of both H₂A and A²⁻ were annihilated from the absorbance data, which made feasible the determination of two successive acidity constants. The method was validated by analysis of simulated data and its application to the determination of the acidity constants of calmagite, as a reference compound. A close agreement was obtained between the resulted values by TRAFA and the declared values. Indeed, the method was used for determination of the acidity constants of two new chromenone derivatives in binary solvents mixtures of methanol and water. The effects of changing solvent composition on acidity constant data were explained by linear solvation free energy relationships (LSFER) utilizing solvatochromic parameters.     

Open spaces and relaxation processes in the subsurface region of polypropylene probed by monoenergetic positron beams

Open spaces and relaxation processes in the subsurface region of isotactic polypropylene were investigated by monoenergetic positron beams. From measurements of the lifetime spectra of positrons, the size of the open spaces in the subsurface region (≤ 0.2 μm) was found to be larger than that in the bulk; their differences were estimated as 20% at 295 K and 10% at 395 K. From conventional positron annihilation experiments, the glass‐transition temperatures, T_{g (upper)}and T_g(lower) were determined as 306 K and 278 K, respectively. These transition temperatures were associated with the onset temperatures of the molecular motions under the constraint imposed by crystalline regions and those free from the constraint, respectively. In the subsurface region, although the onset temperatures of the molecular motions were close to those in the bulk, the molecular motions above T_{g (lower)} were found to be suppressed. The annihilation characteristics of positrons with different implantation energies were also discussed. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 38: 101–107, 2000     

Coherent positronium molecule Psn and scanning clustering microscopy

The remarkable coherent features are indicated for the positronium molecules Ps_n, which are the lightest molecular system in the universe. The majority of Ps_n molecules undergo the coherent annihilation of all constituent Ps atoms yielding the coherent n‐pair photons which provide a unique method for observing Ps_n with identifying the order of clustering n. This leads to a new microscopy [scanning clustering microscopy (SCM)] in which Ps_n molecules are formed from surface positrons and Ps swarmed around a fine tip of a probe electrically biased with respect to a contacting matter surface to be investigated. It would open up new broad fields to study dynamical aspects of surface layer such as the catalytic activity on a subatomic scale. A method based on the Hunbury Brown–Twiss effect is also presented to determine the dimensions of Ps_n. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 71: 83–99, 1999
