High spin properties of 124Ba

The ¹²⁴Ba nucleus is investigated on the basis of the method of statistical mechanics by assuming the nucleons to move in triaxially deformed Nilsson potential. The variation in the Fermi energies of protons and neutrons is studied as a function of spin and temperature. The Fermi energies determined as a function of angular momentum is used to study the dependence of shell correction on angular momentum using the Strutinsky smoothing procedure. The most important observation is that the shell correction is almost the same for all spins for ¹²⁴Ba. The spin cutoff parameter and the single particle level density parameter are studied as a function of spin and temperature. Constant entropy lines drawn by plotting the excitation energy against angular momentum are found to be roughly at constant energy above the yrast line and are almost equally spaced. It is observed that no yrast traps are present for ¹²⁴Ba.     

Interplay of Antiferromagnetic Coupling and Spin Crossover in Dinuclear Iron(II) Complexes

This article reports on the study of the interplay between magnetic coupling and spin transition in 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpym)-bridged iron(II) dinuclear compounds. Coexistence of both phenomena has been observed in [Fe(bpym)(NCS)₂]₂bpym, [Fe(bpym)(NCSe)₂]₂bpym and [Fe(bt)(NCS)₂]₂bpym (bpym = 2,2′-bipyrimidine, bt = 2,2′-bithiazoline) by the action of external physical factors namely pressure or electromagnetic radiation. Competition between magnetic exchange and spin crossover has been studied in [Fe(bpym)(NCS)₂]₂bpym at 6.3 kbar. LIESST experiments carried out in [Fe(bpym)(NCSe)₂]₂bpym and [Fe(bt)(NCS)₂]₂bpym at 4.2 K have shown that is possible to achieve dinuclear molecules with different spin states in this class of compounds. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

自旋不是轨道角动量的相对论效应——与许方官和高春媛商榷

对《大学物理》2000年第11期上发表的《氢原子的磁矩－对自旋的讨论之一》一提出了不同的看法，认为该错把相对论的流密度当成了非相对论的流密度，前不能在非相对论近似下过滤到后，在相对论情况下，自旋和轨道耦合在一起，不能互相独立，在非相对论情况下自旋独立于轨道运动而存在；因而，自旋不是轨道角动量的相对论效应。     

Playing with quantum Hall effects and single-electron-tunneling effects

The usefulness of quantum Hall effect (QHE) conductors and quantum dot (QD) devices is revealed by reviewing five remarkable effects. The first is the sensitive detection of terahertz (THz) radiation by QHE conductors. The second is the imaging of THz emission from non-equilibrium carriers in QHE conductors, by using scanning THz microscopes. The third is the single-photon detection of THz radiation in strong magnetic fields, which is carried out by incorporating a QHE electron system into a QD. Individual events of single-THz-photon absorption within the QD via cyclotron resonance cause the QD to electrically polarize, which, in turn, is detected as switches of the tunnel conductance through the QD. The fourth is the single-photon detection of THz radiation by using double QDs in the absence of a magnetic field. Both of the photon detectors are implemented in gate-voltage-induced lateral GaAs/AlGaAs QDs, and exploiting the extraordinary sensitivity of single-electron transistors to the charge. The fifth is the coherent control of nuclear spins in QHE conductors. Nuclear spins are (i) electrically polarized by unequally populating spin-split QHE edge channels via the hyperfine interaction, (ii) coherently controlled via pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance induced by local RF magnetic fields, and (iii) finally detected by the edge channels through resistance change of the Hall device. The controlled nuclear spins are limited to those along the edge channels, on the order of 10⁹.     

An Efficient Geometric Integrator for Thermostatted Anti-/Ferromagnetic Models

(Anti)-/ferromagnetic Heisenberg spin models arise from discretization of Landau–Lifshitz models in micromagnetic modelling. In many applications it is essential to study the behavior of the system at a fixed temperature. A formulation for thermostatted spin dynamics was given by Bulgac and Kusnetsov, which incorporates a complicated nonlinear dissipation/driving term while preserving spin length. It is essential to properly model this term in simulation, and simplified schemes give poor numerical performance, e.g., requiring an excessively small timestep for stable integration. In this paper we present an efficient, structure-preserving method for thermostatted spin dynamics.

Structural ordering in glass forming tellurium-germanium melts

The character of reorganization of the short-range order and the scale structure during the ordering of glass forming melts is elaborated based on the results of diffraction and microscopic investigations of the ordered and glassy alloys in tellurium-germanium systems. For this purpose cooling curves reflecting the formation processes of structural levels in real time are analyzed and the effective activation energies are estimated.     

Représentation d''une particule quantique de spin 1/2 par le produit de Moyal et une super-variété symplectique plate

The aim of this paper is to show that it is possible to represent a quantum particle with a spin with the help of a star product and a flat supermanifold. We extend to the supermanifolds the Schouten bracket, the exterior differentiation, the Lie derivative. These notions allow us to define the Poisson bracket and the symplectic supermanifolds. It is easy to define the Moyal product: the Grassman algebra of the superfunctions becomes a Clifford algebra. We suppose that the observables of a quantum particle with a spin are superfunctions defined on a flat supermanifold. The study of these star algebras proves the existence of a spectral resolution for some particular elements. Consequently the equation of motion for an observable admits stationary solutions. The examples considered show that the spin splits a given state into two other ones.     

Effect of AlN content on the performance of brominated epoxy resin for printed circuit board substrate

Polymer matrix composites, based on brominated epoxy, a type of material widely used in printed circuit boards (PCBs), as matrix and AlN particle as filler were prepared. The influences of AlN content on the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the composites were investigated by uniaxial tensile test, TMA, thermal conductivity measurement, DMA, and dielectric properties measurement. It was found that the properties of composites monotonically varied with AlN content except that maximum tensile strength and strain of composites corresponded to a filler content of 10 wt %. The results of DMA also showed the AlN reinforcement was more pronounced above T_g, and the peak area of tan δ versus T curves decreased with AlN content, which implied the damping capacity of the composite gradually decreased. The increase in T_g and decrease in damping were probably due to strong interaction between the AlN and epoxy matrix inhibiting the mobility of the epoxy chain. In addition, different theoretical models reported in the literature were used to predict the E, CTE, k, and D_k, and compared with the experimental data. Finally, suitable models were recommended in the present materials system. For the significant improvement of performance of epoxy, we can conclude that these composite materials may be promising for PCB substrate. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dual mode model for mixed gas permeation of CO2, H2, and N2 through a dry chitosan membrane

Dry chitosan is an excellent candidate for facilitated transport membranes that can be utilized in industrial applications, such as fuel cell operations and other purification processes. This article is the first to report temperature effects on transport properties of CO₂, H₂, and N₂ in a gas mixture typical of such applications. At a feed pressure of 1.5 atm, CO₂ permeabilities increased (0.381–26.1 barrers) at temperatures of 20–150 °C with decreasing CO₂/N₂ (19.7–4.55) and CO₂/H₂ (3.14–1.71) separation factors. The pressure effect on solubilities and permeabilities were fitted to the extended dual mode model and its corresponding mixed gas permeation model. The dual mode and transport parameters, the sorption heats and the activation energies of Henry's and Langmuir's regimes and their pre‐exponential parameters were determined. The Langmuir's capacity constants were utilized to estimate chitosan's glass transition temperature (CO₂: 172 °C, N₂: 175 °C, and H₂: 171 °C). The activation energies of diffusion in the Henry's law and Langmuir regimes were dependent on the collision diameter of the gases. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
