Stripe Order and Spin Dynamics in Nickelates

We report zero field μSR experiments on the lanthanum nickelate La_2−x Sr _x NiO_4+δ system with strontium doping level x between 0 and 0.6. In a single crystal with x=0.33 the internal field distribution shows two separated signals reflecting the antiferromagnetic domains and the non magnetic antiphase domain walls in the spin and charge ordered state below 190 K. Below 70 K a broadening of the low field line is observed. A similar behavior is observed in polycrystalline samples with 0.2≤x≤0.5. This revised version was published online in September 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

气体探测器雪崩过程的研究

基于汤逊气体放大电子雪崩模型和一定的物理假设,导出描绘气体探测器中正比模式和有限正比模式的一个统一公式.该公式很好地符合实验事实,由此还得到了描述空间电荷作用强弱的参数──等效电容以及表征探测器工作状态的参量──线性度.同时,在假定SQS雪崩中空间电荷起重要作用的情况下,该公式很好地描述了其输出电量随高压的线性关系.     

Development of copolymer of CR-39 with high sensitivity to low let particles

Several types of copolymers of CR-39 were prepared to find its usefulness as a nuclear track detector of high sensitivity. Track responses of these copolymers were investigated by irradiating energetic ions from proton through Ar. The copolymer of CR-39 monomer with N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) shows higher sensitivity than that of pure CR-39 for low LET particles such as protons. Preliminary results are reported for the track responses of copolymers (CR-39/NIPAAm) with various contents of NIPAAm as well as the etching properties.     

S-wave baryons in an equally mixed scalar-vector square root potential model of independent quarks

A relativistic model of independent quarks based on Dirac equation with an equally mixed scalar-vector square root confining potential is used to compute the quark core contributions to the static properties like magnetic moments, charge radii and axial vector coupling constant ratios of the baryon octet. The results obtained with appropriate corrections due to centre-of-mass motion agree fairly well with experimental values. The model is also extended to the study of magnetic moments of the quark core of baryons in the charmed andb-flavoured sectors and the overall predictions so obtained compare well with other model predictions.     

Anisotropic transport of charge and complexified duality

Charge transport in two dimensions provides an ideal laboratory for investigating parameter space geometries. The Onsager relations for anisotropic transport in a parity-violating external field endow these spaces with a highly nontrivial complex (and Kähler) structure, which can be given a simple geometrical interpretation. A large class of Coulomb gases exhibiting this structure have a generalized Kramers-Wannier symmetry (complexfield duality) which is contained in the modular group. Knowledge of this symmetry and the degrees of freedom encoded in the Coulomb gas appear to be sufficient to determine the global phase diagram and the renormalization group fixed-point structure, including the critical exponents. This accounts for all the scaling behavior observed so far in the quantum Hall system.     

基于三维简并四波混频的PDT光敏剂HA瞬态光栅特性研究

竹红菌甲素(hypocrellin A,HA)具有丰富的激发态特性,有可能在新型光动力疗法(PDT)光敏剂、激光染料和新型光电器件方面有一定的应用前景。利用瞬态光栅技术研究了竹红菌甲素分别在不同极性和粘度溶剂中以及溶剂本身的瞬态光栅特性,把其瞬态光栅的超快过程归结为竹红菌甲素质子转移形成的过渡态TS*的衰减,得出过渡态TS*瞬态光栅的寿命为10.5 ps。竹红菌甲素分子的质子转移过渡态TS*瞬态光栅寿命不受溶剂极性和粘度的影响。     

Estimation of the proton energy spectrum in knee region by analog read-out of ARGO-YBJ experiment

Based on the six months data set of ARGO-YBJ experiment with analog read-out and its Monte Carlo simulation,we study the difference between different primaries induced showers by using the space-time information of the charged particles in Extensive Air Showers.With five parameters which can efficiently pick out primary proton induced showers as inputs of an artificial neural network,the proton spectrum from 100 TeV to 10 PeV can be obtained.     

Experimental and theoretical evidence for the chemical mechanism in SERRS of rhodamine 6G adsorbed on colloidal silver excited at 1064 nm

The evidence for the existence of a chemical mechanism in surface‐enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) of rhodamine 6G (R6G) adsorbed on colloidal silver excited at 1064 nm is reported on the basis of experimental and theoretical analyses. A weak absorption peak at around 1060 nm for R6G‐functionalized silver nanoparticles was observed, which is not present in the individual spectra of R6G or silver nanoparticles. Theoretically, the charge difference density reveals that this weak absorption is a metal‐to‐molecule charge transfer excited state. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
