Effect of Mn Doped and Mn+Sn Co-doping on the Properties of ZnO Thin Films
Mn doped and Mn/Sn co-doped ZnO thin films nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by Spray pyrolysis technique at 300 0C. X-ray diffraction study showed that all the films have the hexagonal wurtzite structure with the preferential orientation (002) plane. The optical measurement exhibited an increase in the average transmittance from 77% for Mn doped ZnO to 84% for Mn/Sn co-doped ZnO films in the visible region. Further the optical band gap changes from 3.18 eV for undoped ZnO films to 3.27 eV for Mn/Sn co-doped ZnO films. The electrical resistivity has decreased with incorporation of Mn and Sn ions to reach the minimum value of 11 (Ω.cm) for Mn doped ZnO film
Charge-Symmetry Violation in Pion Scattering from Three-Body Nuclei
We discuss the experimental and theoretical status of charge-symmetry
violation (CSV) in the elastic scattering of pi+ and pi- on 3H and 3He.
Analysis of the experimental data for the ratios r1, r2, and R at Tpi = 142,
180, 220, and 256 MeV provides evidence for the presence of CSV. We describe
pion scattering from the three-nucleon system in terms of single- and
double-scattering amplitudes. External and internal Coulomb interactions as
well as the Delta-mass splitting are taken into account as sources of CSV.
Reasonable agreement between our theoretical calculations and the experimental
data is obtained for Tpi = 180, 220, and 256 MeV. For these energies, it is
found that the Delta-mass splitting and the internal Coulomb interaction are
the most important contributions for CSV in the three-nucleon system. The CSV
effects are rather sensitive to the choice of pion-nuclear scattering
mechanisms, but at the same time, our theoretical predictions are much less
sensitive to the choice of the nuclear wave function. It is found, however,
that data for r2 and R at Tpi = 142 MeV do not agree with the predictions of
our model, which may indicate that there are additional mechanisms for CSV
which are important only at lower energies.Comment: 26 pages of RevTeX, 16 postscript figure
Elastic Scattering of Pions From the Three-nucleon System
We examine the scattering of charged pions from the trinucleon system at a
pion energy of 180 MeV. The motivation for this study is the structure seen in
the experimental angular distribution of back-angle scattering for pi+ 3He and
pi- 3H but for neither pi- 3He nor pi+ 3H. We consider the addition of a double
spin flip term to an optical model treatment and find that, though the
contribution of this term is non-negligible at large angles for pi+ 3He and pi-
3H, it does not reproduce the structure seen in the experiment.Comment: 15 pages + 5 figure
Faddeev Calculations of Proton-Deuteron Radiative Capture with Exchange Currents
pd capture processes at various energies have been analyzed based on
solutions of 3N-Faddeev equations and using modern NN forces. The application
of the Siegert theorem is compared to the explicit use of - and
-like exchange currents connected to the AV18 NN interaction. Overall
good agreement with cross sections and spin observables has been obtained but
leaving room for improvement in some cases. Feasibility studies for 3NF's
consistently included in the 3N continuum and the 3N bound state have been
performed as well.Comment: Minor changes in notation, ps files for figure
Moscow-type NN-potentials and three-nucleon bound states
A detailed description of Moscow-type (M-type) potential models for the NN
interaction is given. The microscopic foundation of these models, which appear
as a consequence of the composite quark structure of nucleons, is discussed.
M-type models are shown to arise naturally in a coupled channel approach when
compound or bag-like six-quark states, strongly coupled to the NN channel, are
eliminated from the complete multiquark wave function. The role of the
deep-lying bound states that appear in these models is elucidated. By
introducing additional conditions of orthogonality to these compound six-quark
states, a continuous series of almost on-shell equivalent nonlocal interaction
models, characterized by a strong reduction or full absence of a local
repulsive core (M-type models), is generated. The predictions of these
interaction models for 3N systems are analyzed in detail. It is shown that
M-type models give, under certain conditions, a stronger binding of the 3N
system than the original phase-equivalent model with nodeless wave functions.
An analysis of the 3N system with the new versions of the Moscow NN potential
describing also the higher even partial waves is presented. Large deviations
from conventional NN force models are found for the momentum distribution in
the high momentum region. In particular, the Coulomb displacement energy for
nuclei ^3He - ^3H displays a promising agreement with experiment when the ^3H
binding energy is extrapolated to the experimental value.Comment: 23 pages Latex, 9 figures, to appear in Phys.Rev.
Nuclear Sizes and the Isotope Shift
Darwin-Foldy nuclear-size corrections in electronic atoms and nuclear radii
are discussed from the nuclear-physics perspective. Interpretation of precise
isotope-shift measurements is formalism dependent, and care must be exercised
in interpreting these results and those obtained from relativistic electron
scattering from nuclei. We strongly advocate that the entire nuclear-charge
operator be used in calculating nuclear-size corrections in atoms, rather than
relegating portions of it to the non-radiative recoil corrections. A
preliminary examination of the intrinsic deuteron radius obtained from
isotope-shift measurements suggests the presence of small meson-exchange
currents (exotic binding contributions of relativistic order) in the nuclear
charge operator, which contribute approximately 1/2%.Comment: 17 pages, latex, 1 figure -- Submitted to Phys. Rev. A -- epsfig.sty

The Quasielastic 3He(e,e'p)d Reaction at Q^2 = 1.5 GeV^2 for Recoil Momenta up to 1 GeV/c
We have studied the quasielastic 3He(e,e'p)d reaction in perpendicular
coplanar kinematics, with the energy and momentum transferred by the electron
fixed at 840 MeV and 1502 MeV/c, respectively. The 3He(e,e'p)d cross section
was measured for missing momenta up to 1000 MeV/c, while the A_TL asymmetry was
extracted for missing momenta up to 660 MeV/c. For missing momenta up to 150
MeV/c, the measured cross section is described well by calculations that use a
variational ground-state wave function of the 3He nucleus derived from a
potential that includes three-body forces. For missing momenta from 150 to 750
MeV/c, strong final-state interaction effects are observed. Near 1000 MeV/c,
the experimental cross section is more than an order of magnitude larger than
predicted by available theories. The A_TL asymmetry displays characteristic
features of broken factorization, and is described reasonably well by available
models.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Physical Review Letters, v3: changed

The He(e, ed)p Reaction in q-constant Kinematics
The cross section for the He(e, ed)p reaction has been measured as a
function of the missing momentum in q -constant kinematics at
beam energies of 370 and 576 MeV for values of the three-momentum transfer
of 412, 504 and 604 \mevc. The L(+TT), T and LT structure functions have been
separated for = 412 and 504 \mevc. The data are compared to three-body
Faddeev calculations, including meson-exchange currents (MEC), and to
calculations based on a covariant diagrammatic expansion. The influence of
final-state interactions and meson-exchange currents is discussed. The
-dependence of the data is reasonably well described by all calculations.
However, the most advanced Faddeev calculations, which employ the AV18
nucleon-nucleon interaction and include MEC, overestimate the measured cross
sections, especially the longitudinal part, and at the larger values of .
The diagrammatic approach gives a fair description of the cross section, but
under(over)estimates the longitudinal (transverse) structure function.Comment: 17 pages, 7 figure
Measurement of the 3He(e,e'p)pn reaction at high missing energies and momenta
Results of the Jefferson Lab Hall A quasielastic 3He(e,e'p)pn measurements
are presented. These measurements were performed at fixed transferred momentum
and energy, q = 1502 MeV/c and omega = 840 MeV, respectively, for missing
momenta p_m up to 1 GeV/c and missing energies in the continuum region, up to
pion threshold; this kinematic coverage is much more extensive than that of any
previous experiment. The cross section data are presented along with the
effective momentum density distribution and compared to theoretical models.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, updated to reflect published paper: minor text

Electron and Photon Scattering on Three-Nucleon Bound States
A big spectrum of processes induced by real and virtual photons on the 3He
and 3H nuclei is theoretically investigated through many examples based on
nonrelativistic Faddeev calculations for bound and continuum states. The modern
nucleon-nucleon potential AV18 together with the three-nucleon force UrbanaIX
is used. The single nucleon current is augmented by explicit pi- and rho-like
two-body currents which fulfill the current continuity equation together with
the corresponding parts of the AV18 potential. We also employ the Siegert
theorem, which induces many-body contributions to the current operator. The
interplay of these different dynamical ingredients in the various
electromagnetic processes is studied and the theory is compared to the
experimental data. Overall we find fair to good agreement but also cases of
strong disagreement between theory and experiment, which calls for improved
dynamics. In several cases we refer the reader to the work of other groups and
compare their results with ours. In addition we list a number of predictions
for observables in different processes which would challenge this dynamical
scenario even more stringently and systematically.Comment: 154 pages, 80 figures includes as ps files, 21 additional figures as
