Molecular-dynamics investigation on polarization retention of barium titanate nanofilm arising from ordered oxygen vacancy

Molecular-dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate the electric hysteresis of barium titanate nanofilm containing oxygen vacancy ordering array parallel to the {101} crystal plane. The results obtained show a significant weakening of polarization retention from non-zero value to zero as the size of the array was reduced to a critical level, which was attributed to the formation and motion of head-to-head domain wall structure under external field loading process. By comparing with materials containing isolated oxygen vacancies, it was found that the zero retention was due to the oxygen vacancy ordering array rather than to the concentration of oxygen vacancy.

47 MeV/u ~(12)C与~(133)Cs反应中碘同位素产生截面的Q_(gg)依赖关系

用47 MeV/u 12C离子轰击133Cs靶,应用放射化学分离技术和离线γ射线谱学,得到碘同位素的产生截面。丰中子碘同位素的独立产生截面指数地依赖于Qgg值,而缺中子碘同位素的独立产生截面则偏离这一直线关系。这一事实可对在深部非弹转移过程中产生丰中子碘同位素予以解释。

~(12)C与~(133)Cs反应中Ba同位素的Q_(gg)产额依赖

使用47MeV/u12C离子轰击133Cs靶,由多核子转移反应产生Ba同位素。使用放射化学方法,从133Cs和反应产物中分离出产物Ba,再使用高纯Ge探测器测量Ba放射性同位素的γ活性,根据Ba同位素的活度和其他相关数据,确定Ba同位素的产生截面。通过分析测得的Ba同位素的厚靶平均产生截面,发现缺中子Ba同位素的独立截面不遵从规则的Qgg系统性。该结果可用重离子碰撞中的次级过程加以解释。

~(133)Sm和~(149)Yb的β缓发质子衰变

利用40Ca+96Ru融合蒸发反应产生了近质子滴线核133Sm,配合氦喷嘴带传输系统采用“质子-γ”符合方法观测了它们的β缓发质子衰变,其中包括半衰期、质子能谱、第二代子核低位态之间的γ跃迁,并估计出衰变到第二代子核不同低位态的分支比．通过统计理论拟合上述实验数据,指认了133Sm的自旋宇称的可能范围．并用Woods-Saxon Strutinsky方法计算了限制组态的133Sm的核势能面,通过对比发现133Sm的自旋宇称可能有两种成分:5／2+和1／2-．这一结果与2001年发表的133Sm(EC+β+)衰变的简单衰变纲图是相容的．此外用同一方法分析了2001年Eur．Phys．J．A12: 1-4中发表的有关149Yb的β缓发质子衰变实验数据,由此指认了149Yb的基态自旋宇称为1／2-．

beta-delayed proton decays of Sm-133 and Yb-149

Sm-133 was produced via fusion evaporation in the reaction Ca-40+Ru-96. Its P-delayed proton decay was studied by means of "p-gamma" coincidence in combination with a He-jet tape transport system, including half-lives, proton energy spectra, gamma-transitions following the proton emissions, and the branching ratios to the low-lying states in the grand-daughter nuclei. The possible spins and parities of 133Sm were extracted by fitting the experimental data with a statistical model calculation. The configuration-constrained nuclear potential energy surfaces of Sm-133 were calculated by using the Woods-Saxon Strutinsky method. Comparing the experimental and calculated results, the spins and parities Of Sm-133 were assigned to be 5/2(+) and 1/2(-), which is reconciled with our published simple (EC+beta(+)) decay scheme Of Sm-113 in 2001. In addition, our experimental data on the beta-delayed proton decay of Yb-149 reported in Eur. Phys. J., 2001, A12: 1-4 was also analyzed by using the same method. The spin and parity of Yb-149 was assigned to be 1/2-.

beta-delayed proton decays and spin assignments for Sm-133 and Yb-149

The proton-rich isotope Sm-133 was produced via the fusion evaporation reaction Ca-40 + Ru-96. Its beta-delayed proton decay was studied by p-gamma coincidence in combination with a He-jet tape transport system, and half-lives, proton energy spectra, gamma-transitions following the proton emission, as well as beta-delayed proton branching ratios to the low-lying states in the grand-daughter nucleus were determined. Comparing the observed beta-delayed proton branching ratios with statistical model calculations, the best agreement is found assuming that only one level with the spin of 3/2 in Sm-133 decays or two levels with the spins of 1/2 and 5/2 decay with similar half-lives. The configuration-constrained nuclear potential energy surfaces of Sm-133 were calculated using the Woods-Saxon-Strutinsky method, which suggests a 1/2-ground state and a 5/2(+) isomer with an excitation energy of 120 keV. Therefore, the simple(EC+beta(+)) decay scheme of Sm-133 in Eur. Phys. J.A 11,277(2001) has been revised. In addition, our previous experimental data on the beta-delayed proton decay of Yb-149 reported in Eur. Phys. J. A 12,1 ( 2 0 0 1) was also analyzed using the same method. The spin-parity of Yb-149 is suggested to be 1/2(-).
