Underthreshold resonances in three-particle molecular systems
To determine the lifetimes of Efimov states of negative two-atomic ions, the
problem of resonance scattering of a light particle on a pair of identical
particles has been considered. An analytic expression has been obtained for
resonance widths in the limit of forces of zero radius and low binding energies
in pairs. Calculations are compared with the numerical solution of the Faddeev
integral equations in a wide region of masses of the light particle. It is
shown that the widths of underthreshold resonances in the scattering amplitude
obtained from the integral equations with the Yamaguchi potential are well
described by the analytic expression, which allows this expression to be used
in the mass region inaccessible for numerical calculations. It has been
concluded that the lifetime of highly excited negative molecular ions with a
binding energy close to the threshold of disintegration is practically
unlimited.Comment: Latex, 15 page
Scattering length of the helium atom - helium dimer collision
We present our recent results on the scattering length of ^4He-^4He_2
collisions. These investigations are based on the hard-core version of the
Faddeev differential equations. As compared to our previous calculations of the
same quantity, a much more refined grid is employed, providing an improvement
of about 10%. Our results are compared with other ab initio, and with model
calculations
Quantum Transparency of Barriers for Structure Particles
Penetration of two coupled particles through a repulsive barrier is
considered. A simple mechanism of the appearance of barrier resonances is
demonstrated that makes the barrier anomalously transparent as compared to the
probability of penetration of structureless objects. It is indicated that the
probabilities of tunnelling of two interacting particles from a false vacuum
can be considerably larger than it was assumed earlier.Comment: Revtex, 4 pages, 4 figure
Universal description of the rotational-vibrational spectrum of three particles with zero-range interactions
A comprehensive universal description of the rotational-vibrational spectrum
for two identical particles of mass and the third particle of the mass
in the zero-range limit of the interaction between different particles is
given for arbitrary values of the mass ratio and the total angular
momentum . If the two-body scattering length is positive, a number of
vibrational states is finite for , zero for
, and infinite for . If the two-body scattering
length is negative, a number of states is either zero for or
infinite for . For a finite number of vibrational states, all the
binding energies are described by the universal function , where ,
,and is the vibrational
quantum number. This scaling dependence is in agreement with the numerical
calculations for and only slightly deviates from those for .
The universal description implies that the critical values and
increase as and ,
respectively, while a number of vibrational states for is
within the range
Differential Form of the Skornyakov--Ter-Martirosyan Equations
The Skornyakov--Ter-Martirosyan three-boson integral equations in momentum
space are transformed into differential equations. This allows us to take into
account quite directly the Danilov condition providing self-adjointness of the
underlying three-body Hamiltonian with zero-range pair interactions. For the
helium trimer the numerical solutions of the resulting differential equations
are compared with those of the Faddeev-type AGS equations.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Application of 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy as a tool for mining exploration of bornite (Cu5FeS4) copper ore
Nuclear resonance methods, including Mössbauer spectroscopy, are considered as unique techniques suitable for remote on-line mineralogical analysis. The employment of these methods provides potentially significant commercial benefits for mining industry. As applied to copper sulfide ores, Mössbauer spectroscopy method is suitable for the analysis noted. Bornite (formally Cu5FeS4) is a significant part of copper ore and identification of its properties is important for economic exploitation of commercial copper ore deposits. A series of natural bornite samples was studied by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Two aspects were considered: reexamination of 57Fe Mössbauer properties of natural bornite samples and their stability irrespective of origin and potential use of miniaturized Mössbauer spectrometers MIMOS II for in-situ bornite identification. The results obtained show a number of potential benefits of introducing the available portative Mössbauer equipment into the mining industry for express mineralogical analysis. In addition, results of some preliminary 63,65Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies of bornite are reported and their merits with Mössbauer techniques for bornite detection discussed

Muon capture by 3He nuclei followed by proton and deuteron production
The paper describes an experiment aimed at studying muon capture by
nuclei in pure and mixtures at various densities. Energy distributions of
protons and deuterons produced via and are measured for the
energy intervals MeV and MeV, respectively. Muon capture

differential capture rates, and , are compared with theoretical
calculations performed using the plane--wave impulse approximation (PWIA) with
the realistic NN interaction Bonn B potential. Extrapolation to the full energy
range yields total proton and deuteron capture rates in good agreement with
former results.Comment: 17 pages, 13 figures, accepted for publication in PR
Oxidation and magnetic states of chalcopyrite CuFeS2: a first principles calculation
The ground state band structure, magnetic moments, charges and population numbers of electronic shells of Cu and Fe atoms have been calculated for chalcopyrite CuFeS2 using density functional theory. The comparison between our calculation results and experimental data (X ray photoemission, X ray absorption and neutron diffraction spectroscopy) has been made. Our calculations predict a formal oxidation state for chalcopyrite as Cu1+Fe3+S. However, the assignment of formal valence state to transition metal atoms appears to be oversimplified. It is anticipated that the valence state can be confirmed experimentally by nuclear magnetic and nuclear quadrupole resonance and Mössbauer spectroscopy methods
