LIU Feng, LIU Lian-shou
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 10-12 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (226KB) ( 590 )
The relation between the formation of a unique system and the upward-bending parameter a of 2-D(η, ψ)lnFq vs InM in relativistic heavy-ion collisions is discussed. It is argued that the correlation between the value of upward-bending parameter a for individual events and the value for the same events of some other quantity, e.g.,K/π ratio, commonly used as quark-gluon plasma signal can be utilized to increase the reliability of this signal.

Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 13-15 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (245KB) ( 504 )
The in-plane and out-of-plane emissions of light charged particles and intermediate mass fragments were measured for 40Ar + 159Tb collisions at 30 MeV/nucleon. An in-plane enhancement was observed for mid-rapidity light particles and fragments, indicating that a rotational effect exists in this reaction system. This enhancement increased with mass for light particles with Z≤2, but became nearly constant values for fragments with Z≥3. This enhancement was observed to increase strongly with increasing impact parameter.

Abstract   PDF(pc) (158KB) ( 382 )
Rotationally inelastic He-H2, D2, T2 collision was studied quantum-mechanically. Converged cross sections were calculated by using the close coupling method for relative kinetic energies of 0.01 to 0.54 eV. Born-Oppenheimer approximation was employed to determine the potential surface of He-D2, He-T2, and He-H2. Careful comparison between the cross sections of the isotopically substituted systems was carried out, and the regular changes of the total cross sections of the isotopically substituted He-H2 colliding systems were obtained.

Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 21-23 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (239KB) ( 716 )
An ordered colloidal structure of SiO2 spheres of 0.33μm diameter has been formed in distilled water. It is a face-centered cubic structure with a lattice constant of 0.54μm and a volume fraction of 0.48, as determined by the Kossel rings analysis. The light transmission in the [111] direction exhibited a dip located at 11600cm-1. A plane wave expansion method is used to calculate the lowest gap at the L point. The gap center coincides quite well with the measured transmission dip.

CONG Wen-xiang, CHEN Nan-xian, GU Ben-Yuan
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 24-26 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (197KB) ( 724 )
In this letter, a new recursive algorithm to implement phase retrieval from two intensities in the two-dimensional Fourier transform domain is presented. In terms of the cascading property and additivity of the order of the fractional Fourier transform, a set of convolution equations is exactly derived. Applying recursive algorithm, these equations can be easily solved. This approach simplifies significantly computational manipulations comparing with conventional iterative algorithms and does not need initial phase distribution.

WANG Rong-yao, WU Xiao-chun, ZOU Bing-suo, WANG Li, WU Peng-fei, LIU Shao-mei, WANG Jin-guo, XU Ji-ren
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 27-29 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (221KB) ( 694 )
With surface chemical modification, we have obtained core-shell structure ZnO nanoparticles. The nonresonant third-order nonlinear optical refraction of this new composite material was found to be -3.8 x 10-l0 esu by Z-scan measurements with a femtosecond pulsed laser. The ultrafast nonlinear response time ~250 fs measured by time-resolved pump-probe techniques suggests that the nonlinearity of this new material originates mainly from a rapid electronic polarization process or virtual process such as the optical Stark effect.

Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 32-34 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (252KB) ( 549 )
Shearing interferometry of an ion-etched holographic double-frequency grating is used to measure the optical coherence of femtosecond pulsed lasers. The experimental results show that the optical coherence of the femtosecond light beam is not only related to the spectral width and size of the light source but is also related to the pulse duration and mode-locked laser state. The results of theoretical analysis and numerical calculation are also given. Application of this research is also discussed.

LIU Cai-gen, QIAN Shang-jie
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 35-37 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (212KB) ( 685 )
The production of the poloidally sheared flow during electron cyclotron resonant heating (ECRH) in the collisional tokamak plasmas, which refers to the edge region, is studied. Based on the linearized kinetic drift equation and the fluid equations including the density perturbation term driven by rf waves, the criterion of the destabilization of the poloidal plasma rotation is analytically derived. It is shown that the edge poloidal plasma rotation can be destabilized during ECRH in the present rf power level.

CAO Jin-bin, WANG Xue-yi, CAI Chun-lin
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 38-40 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (190KB) ( 521 )
The instability driven by the nongyrotropic newborn ions is studied for oblique propagation. The results show the influence of nongyrotropic on the gyrotropic ring instability decreases when the propagation angle increases. The growth rate in the case of nongyrotropic is smaller than that in the case of gyrotropic. The nongyrotropic also breaks the symmetry of the propagation of the waves in the plane perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field.

Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 43-45 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (170KB) ( 637 )
A procedure is presented for the calculation of the Mn2+-F- bond length from the superhyperfine constants measured by magnetic resonance experiments. With the present technique it is possible to detect the variation of the bond length, ΔR, down to 0.01 Å. The technique is sensitive enough to determine the bond length R and its variation ΔR experienced when pressure or temperature changes.

Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 46-47 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (184KB) ( 413 )
The growth of lead tungstate (PWO) single crystals and their luminescence properties such as light yield, scintillation decay time, and transmittance were reported. The colourless PWO single crystal has been obtained by using the presyntheses powder. Ba, Nb, and Mg ions were doped in the crystals and the Ba-doped crystal has a relatively short decay time. Annealed crystal was found having a better transmission spectrum than that of unannealed one.

GUAN Tie-tang, ZHAO Qing-lan, LI Yuan-zhong, HUANG Yi-sen
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 48-49 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (261KB) ( 380 )
The organic crystals of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KAP) (or rubidium hydrogen phthalate(RAP)) and thallium hydrogen phthalate(TAP) crystallize out in the same space group of P21ab. The growth morphological change between them has been studied via defective observation and growth theoretical calculation, which indicates that the crystals of KAP and RAP grow through the 2D mechanism and the growth mechanism of (001) faces in TAP changes to defect mechanism. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental ones.

WU JU, LI Han-xuan, WANG Zhan-guo
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 50-51 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (253KB) ( 442 )
It was observed with transmission electron microscopy in the In0.52Al0.48As/InxGa1-xAs/In0.52AI0.48As/InP heterostructure that misfit dislocation lines deviate from the <110> directions at a certain angle depending on the indium content x. Such an abnormal alignment of misfit dislocations is explained in terms of an alloy effect on the formation of single jogs on the misfit dislocations in the interface between the III-V ternary compounds.

JIN Anjun Jerry, LIN Bin
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 54-56 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (287KB) ( 484 )
Substrate-free films of N-(4-n-butoxybenzylidene-4-n-octylaniline (40.8) show a fascinating interlayer interaction. This interaction significantly affects the next ordering transition, or the second hexatic-B order, upon cooling. The Landau-de Gennes theory is employed to model the effect of the enhanced order by surface-ordering field. Based on this model, it is found that the surface-order penetration depth to be less than one layer.

Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 57-59 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (232KB) ( 467 )
The population of the third (n = 3) two-dimensional electron subband of InGaAs/InAlAs modulation-doped structures has been observed by means of Fourier transform photoluminescence (PL). Three well resolved PL peaks centred at 0.737, 0.908, and 0.980eV are observed, which are attributed to the transitions from the lowest three electron subbands to the n = 1 heavy-hole subband. The subband separations clearly exhibiting the features of the stepped quantum well with triangle and square potentials are consistent with numerical calculation. Thanks to the presence of Fermi cutoff, the population ratio of these three subbands can be estimated. Temperature and excitation-dependent luminescences are also analyzed.

HOU Yu-rnin, JIN Duo, WANG Yu-peng, LUO Jian-lin, E. Nyeanchi, D. F. Brewer, A. L. Thomson
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 62-64 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (195KB) ( 499 )
Specific heat in applied magnetic fields were measured to a low temperature 0.08 K and resistance to 0.5K. The specific heat shows a wide peak at 1 K, and a high value of the electronic coefficient γ (T → 0 ) 1200 mJ/mol.K2 is obtained. The temperature independence of the wide peak in specific heat at 1K in magnetic fields further suggests that the high value γ of CeCuGa is due to Kondo effect.

LI Qun-qing, FAN Shou-shan, HAN Wei-qiang, GAO Nai-fei, WANG Xin-rong
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 68-69 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (176KB) ( 426 )
The valence states of iron in iron catalysts, hydrogen reduced catalysts, and catalytically grown carbon nanotubes are determined by Mössbauer spectra, respectively. The results show that the iron exists as Fe, FeO, and α-Fe2O3 in hydrogen reduced catalysts, whereas it exists as Fe-C alloy, FeO, and α-Fe2O3 in the catalysts encapsulated in carbon nanotube. It is postulated that Fe in hydrogen reduced catalysts plays the main role in the formation of catalytically grown carbon nanotube.

ZHANG Tie-chen, YU San, LI Dong-mei, GUO Wei-li, GAO Chun-xiao, ZOU Guang-tian
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 70-71 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (331KB) ( 973 )
Micro-grains of wurtzite boron nitride(wBN) crystal have been observed in the region of 5.0-7.0 GPa pressure and 1800-2000 K temperature where cubic boron nitride has been synthesized in the presence of a catalyst. The wBN grain size is about 20-30nm. The presence of these micro-grains indicates that the pressure for wBN growth could be lower than that found in the previous work.

Abstract   PDF(pc) (172KB) ( 462 )
Si-rich SiO2 films were deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition on the silicon substrates, and then implanted with 1 ×1015cm-2 400 keV Er ions. After annealing at 800°C for 5 min, the samples show room temperature luminescence around 1.54 μm, characteristic of intra-4f emission from Er3+, upon excitation using an Ar ion laser.
A Possible Glitch of Gamma-Ray Pulsar Geminga?
ZHANG Shu, LI Ti-pei, WU Mei
Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 74-75 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (148KB) ( 382 )
Timing analyses of gamma-ray pulsar Geminga were made to check its rotating stability using released energetic gamma-ray experiment (EGRET) data. Phase motions of Geminga were found from EGRET data in 1995. Joint analysis of parameters searching and bootstrap testing showed that the parameters are getting worse when including EGRET data in 1995. Combination of these results may indicate that a small glitch of Geminga occurred in 1995.

Chin. Phys. Lett. 1998, 15 (1): 76-78 .  
Abstract   PDF(pc) (204KB) ( 438 )
In present study, the relations between the ratios of the heavy to light s-element (slow neutron captrue element) abundances and the average neutron exposure are calculated for the intrinsic and extrinsic AGB stars, respectively. In addition, the inverse correlation of these ratios with metallicity is also presented and interpreted quantitatively. This work is based on the evolution of the heavy element abundances of the intrinsic AGB stars, and the calculation on the heavy element overabundances of the extrinsic AGB stars.
