Line-Pro le Analysis of Excitation Spectroscopy in the Even 3p5(2P1/2)nl'[K']J(l'=1,3) Autoionizing Resonances of Ar

The even-parity autoionizing resonance series 3p⁵np'[3/2]_1,2, 3p⁵np'[1/2]₁, and 3p⁵nf'[5/2]₃ of Ar have been investigated exciting from the two metastable states 3p⁵4s[3/2]₂ and 3p⁵4s'[1/2]₀ in the photon energy range of 32500-35600 cm^-1 with an experimental bandwidth of ~0.1 cm^-1. The excitation spectra of the even-parity autoionizing resonance series show typical asymmetric line shapes. New level energies, quantum defects, line profile index and resonance widths, resonance lifetime and reduced widths of the autoionizing resonances are derived by a Fano-type line-shape analysis. The line profile index q and the resonance widths Γ are shown to be approximately proportional to the effective principal quantum number n^*. The line separation of the 3p⁵np' autoionizing resonances is discussed.     

基于金属-介质纳米结构磁激元效应的石墨烯增强吸收研究

石墨烯作为一种单层碳原子厚度的二维材料,其在可见光和近红外波段的吸收率只有2.3%。这大大限制了其在太阳能电池、光电探测等领域的应用。本文提出一种金属-介质组成的周期纳米结构,利用纳米结构中激发的磁激元共振(Magentic Polaritons,"MP")效应,实现了石墨烯在近红外波段的吸收增强。利用有限元法的理论仿真,系统研究了纳米结构参数对石墨烯吸收特性的影响。结果表明,在特定结构参数下,能使石墨烯的吸收率增大16倍左右。利用Inductor-Capacitor(LC)电路模型成功解释了石墨烯的吸收增强的物理机制,预测了复合系统的磁激元共振峰波长,发现石墨烯的存在不影响磁激元共振峰的位置。文中提出的纳米结构在加工上易于实现,研究结果将在基于石墨烯的新型光电子器件的设计和实现方面有潜在应用价值。     

Microscopic study of Gamow-Teller and spin-dipole states in 208Bi

Gamow-Teller (GT) and spin-dipole (SD) states in ²⁰⁸Bi are studied by using self-consistent Hartree-Fock + Tamm-Dancoff approximation taking into account the coupling to the continuum. Most of SD strength is found at the excitation energy E _x≈ 25MeV with a very broad width, which agrees with recent experimental observations. It is shown that Landau damping effect is responsible for the large width of SD peak, while the escape width is found to be at most 1MeV. We study also electric dipole (E1) transitions between GT and SD states in ²⁰⁸Bi. Main E1 transitions for 0^- and 1^- states are found near excitation energy expected from Brink's hypothesis in which SD states are considered as E1 resonances built on the GT state. Calculated E1 transition strengths between GT and SD states are compared with the analytic sum rules within one-particle one-hole (1p-1h) configuration space and within both 1p-1h and 2p-2h model space.

Microscopic analysis of the breathing mode in 40Ca and 58Ni

Recent experimental studies of the giant electric resonance region in ⁵⁸Ni and ⁴⁰Ca with inelastically scattered α-particles of energy E_α= 240 MeV are analyzed within a microscopic nuclear structure model. The model includes the continuum RPA and more complex 1p1h⊗phonon configurations. By superimposing the contributions of different multipoles up to L = 4 we obtain good agreement with the newest (reanalyzed) data for the isoscalar monopole strength and for the total (α,α′) cross section in ⁵⁸Ni. Agreement with experiment for the isoscalar monopole resonance in ⁴⁰Ca is obtained too. We emphasize the necessity of using microscopic transition densities and discuss consequences for the analyses of such experiments in light and medium mass nuclei. It is shown that the gross structure of the isoscalar monopole resonance in ⁴⁰Ca is caused by the 1p1h⊗phonon configurations. Received: 23 December 1999 / Revised version: 28 February 2000     

On the cross-over from half-metal to normal ferromagnet in NiMnSb

Magnetism and transport properties of the semi-Heusler compound NiMnSb are re-examined in great details. A wide set of experiments (elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, static magnetic measurements, magnetoresistance, Hall effect, thermopower, FMR) have been performed on polycrystals, single crystals or single-crystalline thin films, and the results are analysed. Special emphasis is given to the magnetic excitations and to the relaxation mechanisms in this metallic ferromagnet. At low temperatures, all experimental results hint at the existence of a fully spin-polarized conduction band (half metallic state). At higher temperature (T > 80 K), but well below the Curie temperature (730 K), a cross-over to a usual metallic ferromagnetic state is evidenced and discussed. Received 10 January 2000     

Evolution of the N = 20 and N = 28 shell closures in neutron-rich nuclei

The isospin dependence of shell closure phenomena is studied for light neutron-rich nuclei within a microscopic self-consistent approach using the Gogny force. Introducing configuration mixing, ³²Mg is found to be dynamically deformed, although the N = 20 spherical shell closure persists at the mean-field level for all N = 20 isotones. In contrast, the N = 28 spherical shell closure is found to disappear for N - Z≥ 10 whereas deformed shell closures are preserved and lead to shape coexistence in ⁴⁴ S. Configuration mixing shows that the ground state of this nucleus is triaxially deformed. The first 2⁺ excitation energy E_x = 1.46 MeV and the reduced transition probability B(E2;0⁺ _gs→ 2⁺ ₁)= 420 e ² fm ⁴ obtained with our approach are in good agreement with experimental data.

Pre-equilibrium γ ray emission in different reaction mechanisms at 8 MeV/nucleon

Recent experimental results on particles-γ coincidence measurements on the systems ¹²C +⁶⁴Ni and ³⁵Cl +⁶⁴Ni at about 8 MeV/nucleon are interpreted as due to the effect of a Dipole pre-equilibrium emission produced during the damping of the proton-neutron relative collective motion in very deformed intermediate systems formed in the first instants of the collision. The pre-equilibrium effects are evaluated through semiclassic kinetic theories and through modified statistical approach to include non-stationary effects in Fusion processes, Massive Transfer reactions (in the ¹²C +⁶⁴Ni system) and in Binary Dissipative reactions (in the ³⁵Cl +⁶⁴Ni system). In particular the study performed on the dipole molecular component allows to establish a link between the above phenomenon and the charge and mass transfer process in quasi-peripheral reactions.

Pre-equilibrium dipole excitation and γ-ray fragment angular correlation in the 32S +74Ge reaction

We report on the results obtained from the study of the ³²S +⁷⁴Ge deep inelastic reaction at incident energy E= 320 MeV. High-energy γ-rays were detected in an array of 6 seven-pack BaF₂ clusters. Coincidence with complex fragments detected in 12 three-stage telescopes ensured the selection of peripheral reaction events. In order to investigate the pre-equilibrium dipole strength excitation two independent analyses were performed. In the first analysis the energy spectra of the γ-rays were evaluated in the statistical model framework while in the second one the γ-ray fragment angular correlation with respect to the nuclear spin vector of the composite system was studied. Both methods indicate the excitation of dipole strength in the highly deformed dinucleus and provide dipole resonance parameter sets that are in good agreement with each other.

Effects of the nuclear correlations on the neutrino-oxygen interactions

We perform a calculation of the absolute charged current neutrino-oxygen events rates relevant in the atmospheric neutrino experiments. The inclusive reaction cross-section is split into exclusive channels, which are classified according to the number of Čerenkov rings they produce. The model includes the effects of residual interaction in a RPA scheme with both nucleon-hole and Delta-hole excited states and the effects of (np-nh) excitations (n=2,3). Our result is that although the flavor ratio μ/e remains almost unaffected by the nuclear effects considered here and often neglected in the Monte-Carlo simulations, the absolute events rates are subject to important modifications.

Influence of the soliton in anharmonic molecular crystals with temperature on Mössbauer effect

The influence of a soliton on the properties of the M?ssbauer effect resulting from the gamma-active nuclei situated at lattice sites in quasi-one-dimensional anharmonically organic molecular chains, in which the active nuclei emit gamma-photons, has been theoretically studied by a quantum vibrational model. An expression for the gamma-radiated M?ssbauer transition probability as a function of the temperature and non-linear interaction has been obtained. Finally we give some new properties of this effect from numerical calculation in such a case, which present a way to experimentally confirm the soliton existence in molecular crystals.
