Lepton-number-violating decays of singly-charged Higgs bosons in the type-(Ⅰ+Ⅱ) seesaw model

The lepton-number-violating decays of singly-charged Higgs bosons H± are investigated in the minimal type-(Ⅰ+Ⅱ) seesaw model with one SU(2)L Higgs triplet Δ and one heavy Majorana neutrino N1 at the TeV scale.We find that the branching ratios B(H+ → lα+ ν)(for α = e,μ,τ) depend not only on the mass and mixing parameters of three light neutrinos νi(for i=1,2,3) but also on those of N1.Assuming that the mass of N1 lies in the range of 200 GeV to 1 TeV,we figure out the generous interference bands for the contributions of νi and N1 to B(H+ →lα+ ν).We illustrate some salient features of such interference effects by considering three typical mass patterns of νi,and show that the relevant Majorana CP-violating phases can affect the magnitudes of B(H+ →l+αν) in this parameter region.     

Photophysical and photochemical processes of riboflavin (vitamin B_2) by means of the transient absorption spectra in aqueous solution

Using time-resolved techniques of 337 and 248 nm laser flash photolysis, the photo-physical and photochemical processes of riboflavin (RF, vitamin B2) were studied in detail in aqueous solution. The excited triplet state of riboflavin (3RF*) was produced with 337 nm laser, while under 248 nm irradiation, both 3RF* and hydrated electron (eaq) formed from photoionizationcould be detected. Photobiological implications have been inferred on the basis of reactivity of 3RF* including energy transfer, electron transfer and hydrogen abstraction. The RF.+ was generated by oxidation of SO4.- radical with the aim of confirming the results of photolysis.

Topological Aspects of Triplet Superconductors

In this paper, using the Φ-mapping theory, it is shown that two kinds of topological defects, i.e., the vortex lines and the monopoles exist in the helical configuration of magnetic field in triplet superconductors. And the inner topological structure of these defects is studied. Because the knot solitons in the triplet superconductors are characterized by the Hopf invariant, we also establish a relationship between the Hopf invariant and the linking number of knots family, and reveal the inner topological structure of the Hopf invariant.     

铁磁绝缘层对正常金属/铁磁绝缘层/正常金属/p波超导结隧道谱的影响

在正常金属/铁磁绝缘层/正常金属/自旋三重态p波超导隧道结中,考虑到铁磁绝缘层的磁散射和粗糙界面散射,运用Bogoliubov-de Gennes(BdG)方程和Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk(BTK)理论模型,研究了铁磁绝缘层对隧道结微分电导的影响.研究表明:(1)对于px波,粗糙界面散射和磁散射都能使零偏压电导峰变低,能隙处凹陷升高;随着磁散射的增强,谱线的尖锐峰消失,宽峰逐渐变为凹陷;(2)对于py波,粗糙界面散射和磁散射都能使零能凹陷上移,能隙峰变低,随着粗糙界面散射的增强,两能隙峰间距减小;随着中间正常金属层厚度的增加,能隙内电导随外加偏压呈现振荡行为,能隙外电导仅与普通势垒有关;(3)对于px+ipy波,随着粗糙界面散射的增强,零偏压电导峰被压低,双凹陷处的值逐渐增大为小的能隙峰,而磁散射并不改变谱线中各凹陷处的电导值.     

Triplet–Triplet Annihilation Upconversion in a MOF with Acceptor-Filled Channels

Photon upconversion has enjoyed increased interest in the last years due to its high potential for solar-energy harvesting and bioimaging. A challenge for triplet–triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) processes is to realize these features in solid materials without undesired phase segregation and detrimental dye aggregation. To achieve this, we combine a palladium porphyrin sensitizer and a 9,10-diphenylanthracene annihilator within a crystalline mesoporous metal–organic framework using an inverted design. In this modular TTA system, the framework walls constitute the fixed sensitizer, while caprylic acid coats the channels providing a solventlike environment for the mobile annihilator in the channels. The resulting solid material shows green-to-blue delayed upconverted emission with a luminescence lifetime of 373±5 μs, a threshold value of 329 mW cm⁻² and a triplet–triplet energy transfer efficiency of 82 %. The versatile design allows straightforward changing of the acceptor amount and type.

Triplet state and phenoxyl radical formation of 3, 4‐methylenedioxy phenol: a combined laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis study

Formations of triplet state, molecular cation radical, and phenoxyl radical of 3,4‐methylenedioxy phenol (sesamol, SOH) in organic solvents have been investigated by laser photolysis as well as pulse radiolysis techniques. Photolysis of SOH in cyclohexane has been found to produce both triplet state (λ_max ～ 480 nm) and phenoxyl radical (425–430 nm) of SOH by mono‐photonic processes. However, radical cation (λ_max = 450 nm) and phenoxyl radical of SOH have been observed on radiolysis in cyclohexane. Further, radiolysis of SOH in benzene has been found to produce phenoxyl radical only. Mechanism of phenoxyl radical formation by photo‐excitation of SOH has been studied and triplet energy level of SOH is estimated to lie between 1.85 and 2.64 eV.
