A New High-Spin Level Scheme of I-128

High-spin states in the odd-odd nucleus I-128 are investigated via the Sn-124(Li-7,3n)I-128 reaction at 28 and 32 MeV beam energies. A new level scheme of I-128 is established up to high-spin states at I-pi = 16, including 48 levels and 72 gamma transitions. The present level scheme is largely different from the one in a recent publication due to identification of several doublet and triplet gamma transitions and their proper placements in the level scheme. The high-spin level structure exhibits no obvious collective properties and is possibly associated with two and multi-quasiparticle configurations.

High-spin states and collective band structures in the odd-odd Pm-140 nucleus

The high-spin states of Pm-140 have been investigated through the reaction Te-126(F-19, 5n) at a beam energy of 90 MeV. A previous level scheme based on the 8(-) isomer has been updated with spin up to 23 (h) over bar. A total of 22 new levels and 41 new transitions were identified. Six collective bands were observed. Five of them were expanded or re-constructed, and one of them was newly identified. The systematic signature splitting and inversion of the yrast pi h(11/2)circle times vh(11/2) band in Pr and Pm odd-odd isotopes has been discussed. Based on the systematic comparison, two Delta I = 2 bands were proposed as double-decoupled bands; other two bands with strong Delta I = 1 M1 transitions inside the bands were suggested as oblate bands with gamma similar to -60 degrees; another band with large signature splitting has been proposed with oblate-triaxial deformation with gamma similar to -90 degrees. The characteristics for these bands have been discussed.

165Er的高自旋态研究

利用能量为42MeV和45MeV的9Be束流轰击160Gd自支撑靶，通过160Gd(9Be,4n)165Er熔合蒸发反应研究了165Er核的高自旋态结构。基于实验测量结果，扩展了基于ν5/2−[523]和ν5/2+[642]准粒子组态的转动带，观测到了连接这两条具有不同宇称的转动带的强电偶极跃迁。利用跃迁分支比，提取了带间电偶极跃迁的约化跃迁概率，并讨论了强电偶极跃迁与八极关联之间的关系。提取了ν5/2−[523]和ν5/2+[642]转动带的顺排角动量和能级能量旋称劈裂值，并进行了简单讨论。 High-spin states of 165Er have been studied using the 160Gd(9Be, 4n)reaction at beam energies of 42 and 45 MeV. The previously known bands based on the ν5/2−[523] and ν5/2+[642] configurations have been extended to high-spin states, and electric-dipole transitions linking these two opposite parity bands were observed. Relatively large B(E1) values have been extracted experimentally from the branching ratios, and were attributed to octupole softness. Alignment and signature splitting in energies in the ν5/2−[523] and ν5/2+[642] bands have been extracted and discussed briefly. 熔合蒸发反应;高自旋态;电偶极跃迁;八极关联

Orientation and alignment of reagent molecules by two-photon excitation

The expressions used for describing the angular distribution of oriented and aligned reagent molecules are derived. The algebraic forms of orientation and alignment parameters of molecules in the excited states are obtained for two-photon excitation. The reagent molecules after absorbing two-photon may produce the higher order orientation and alignment than doing one-photon. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Novel morphology of polyethylene crystals created upon melt crystallization of spin-coated film

We demonstrate a strikingly novel morphology of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) crystal obtained upon melt crystallization of spin-coated thin film. This crystal gives windmill-like morphology which contains a number of petals. A detailed inspection on this morphology reveals that each petal is actually composed of terrace-stacked PE lamellae, in which the polymer chains within crystallographic a-c planes adopt similar to 45 degrees tilting around b-axis. The surrounding domains associated with a petal of the windmill composed of twisted lamellar overgrowths with an identical orientation of their long axis, which is the crystallographic b-axis shared by the petal and its corresponding twisted lamellar overgrowths.

Two-Step Spin-Transition Iron(III) Compound with a Wide [High Spin-Low Spin] Plateau

A new iron(III) coordination compound exhibiting a two-step spin-transition behavior with a remarkably wide [HS-LS] plateau of about 45 K has been synthesized from a hydrazino Schiff-base ligand with an N,N,O donor set, namely 2-methoxy-6-(pyridine-2-ylhydrazonomethyl) phenol (Hmph). The single-crystal X-ray structure of the coordination compound {[Fe(mph)(2)](ClO4)(MeOH)(0.5)(H2O)(0.5)}(2) (1) determined at 150 K reveals the presence of two slightly different iron(III) centers in pseudo-octahedral environments generated by two deprotonated tridentate mph ligands. The presence of hydrogen bonding interactions, instigated by the well-designed ligand, may justify the occurrence of the abrupt transitions. 1 has been characterized by temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements, EPR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fe-51 Mossbauer spectroscopy, which all confirm the occurrence of a two-step transition. In addition, the iron(III) species in the high-spin state has been trapped and characterized by rapid cooling EPR studies.
