Theoretical study on properties of new isotope (265)Bh

The properties of nuclei belonging to the newly observed a-decay chain starting from (265)Bh have been studied. The axially deformed relativistic mean-field calculation with the force NL-Z2 has been performed in the blocked BCS approximation. Some ground state properties such as binding energies, deformations, spins, and parities, as well as Q-values of the alpha-decay for this decay chain have been calculated and compared with known experimental data. Good agreement is found. The single-particle spectrum of the nucleus (265)Bh is studied and some new magic numbers are found, while the magnitudes of the shell gaps in superheavy nuclei are much smaller than those of nuclei before the actinium region, and the Fermi surfaces are close to the continuum. Thus the superheavy nuclei are usually not stable. The alpha-decay lifetimes in the (265)Bh decay chain are evaluated by different formulae, and compared with experimental data. The methods which give good agreement with the data are selected.

Photodissociation of 1-bromo-2-chloroethane at 266 nm

The photodissociation of CH2BrCH2Cl at 266 nm has been investigated on the universal crossed molecular beam machine. The primary dissociation step leads exclusively to the formation of CH2CH2Cl radicals and Br atoms in the electronic ground state as well as in the spin-orbit excited state, with a branching ratio 2 +/- 1:8 +/- 1. Photofragment total c.m. translational energy distribution P(E-t) has been obtained and about 64% of the available energy is partitioned into translational energy for Br channel and about 28.5% of the available energy is partitioned into translational energy for Br* channel. The anisotropy parameters are determined to be beta(Br*) = 0.8 +/- 0.2 and beta(Br) = -0.6 +/- 0.2, respectively. Some CH2CH2Cl radicals with large internal excitation (corresponding to formation of ground state Br channel) may undergo secondary dissociation to form CH2CH2 +/- Cl. The experimental results are discussed in terms of a model that involves the initial excitation of two repulsive electronic states: one from an parallel transition to the (3)Q(0) state, and the other from a perpendicular transition to the (3)Q(1), (1)Q states.

Photofragment translational spectroscopy of p-bromotoluene at 266 nm

Photodissociation of p-bromotoluene at 266 nm has been investigated on the universal crossed molecular beam machine, and translational energy distribution P(E-t) as well as the anisotropy parameter beta have been obtained. Photofragment translational energy distribution P(E-t) reveals that similar to 38.5% of the available energy is partitioned into translational energy. The anisotropy parameter beta is determined to be -0.4 +/- 0.2. From P(E-t) and beta, we deduce that p-bromotoluene photodissociation is a fast process and the perpendicular transition plays a central role at this wavelength. The possible mechanism has been discussed and comparison of p-bromotoluene with bromobenzene, o-bromotoluene has also been made. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Photodissociation of bromobenzene at 266 nm

The photodissociation of C6H5Br at 266 nm has been investigated on the universal crossed molecular beam machine, and time-of-flight spectra as well as the angular distribution of Br atom have been measured. Photofragment translational energy distribution P(E-t) reveals that about 47% of the available energy is partitioned into translational energy. The anisotropy parameter beta at this wavelength is -0.7+/-0.2. From P(E-t) and beta, we deduce that C6H5Br photodissociation is a fast process and the transition dipole moment is almost perpendicular to the C-Br bond. Ab initio calculations have been performed, and the calculated results show that the geometry of the first excited state of bromobenzene has changed apparently compared with that of the ground state. Two kinds of possible fast dissociation mechanism have also been proposed. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(99)01206-4].

Photofragment translational spectroscopy of iodobenzene at 266 nm

The photofragmentation of C6H5I at 266 nn is investigated on the universal crossed molecular beam ma chine, and the translational spectroscopy as well as the angular distribution of I atom is measured. The results reveal that under the laser intensity of 10(R) W/cm(2) the single-photon dissociation competes with multi-photon processes. In single-photon dissociation the anisotropy parameter beta is 0.4 and the average translational energy is only 1.04 kcal/mol, which indicates that this process is a slow predissociation. In two-photon photofragmentation the average translational energy is 51.64 kcal/mol, which accounts for about 35% of the available energy. Another photofragmentation channel is even more faster, whose peak in time-of-flight spectra corresponds to four or five photon absorptions. The branching ratio of these three channels is determined to he about 3:3:4.

Photodissociation of o-bromotoluene at 266 nm

The photodissociation of o-bromotoluene at 266 nm has been investigated using the universal crossed laser-molecular beam technique. The angle-resolved time-of-flight (TOF) spectra corresponding to Br photofragment are measured at different lab angles. The observed translational energy distribution and anisotropy parameters of the Br photofragment indicate that o-bromotoluene dissociates via two channels. In the first channel, the anisotropy parameter beta is determined to be 0.5 +/- 0.2 and the average translational energy is only 9% of the available energy. In the other photofragmentation channel, beta is determined to be - 0.4 +/- 0.2 and 44% of the available energy is assigned to translational energy. Possible mechanisms are discussed.

Photodissociation of o-dichlorobenzene at 266 nm

The photodissociation o-dichlorobenzene at 266 nm has been investigated using the universal crossed molecular beam technique. Photofragment translational energy distribution P(E-t) and angular distribution of photofragments have been obtained and it is estimated that 23% of the available energy is assigned to translational energy. The anisotropy parameter is determined to be 0.4. From P(E-t) and beta we deduce that o-C6H4Cl2 photodissociation is a slow process. Ab initio calculation has been performed and it shows that the parent molecule has a larger geometry deformation in its excited states comparing with that of the ground state. The possible dissociation mechanism has also been proposed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
