Isobaric yield ratios in heavy-ion reactions, and symmetry energy of neutron-rich nuclei at intermediate energies
The isobaric yield ratios of the fragments produced in the neutron-rich 48Ca
and 64Ni projectile fragmentation are analyzed in the framework of a modified
Fisher model. The correlations between the isobaric yield ratios (R) and the
energy coefficients in the Weisz\"acker-Beth semiclassical mass formula (the
symmetry-energy term asym, the Coulomb-energy term ac, and the pairing-energy
term ap) and the difference between the chemical potentials of the neutron and
proton ({\mu}n-{\mu}p) are investigated. Simple correlations between
({\mu}n-{\mu}p)/T, ac/T, asym/T, and ap/T (where T is the temperature), and lnR
are obtained. It is suggested that ({\mu}n-{\mu}p)/T, ac/T, asym/T, and ap/T of
neutron-rich nuclei can be extracted using isobaric yield ratios for heavy-ion
collisions at intermediate energies.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure
Isospin dependence of projectile-like fragment production at intermediate energies
The cross sections of fragments produced in 140 MeV Ca + Be
and Ni + Be reactions are calculated by the statistical
abration-ablation(SAA) model and compared to the experimental results measured
at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State
University. The fragment isotopic and isotonic cross section distributions of
Ca and Ca, Ni and Ni, Ca and Ni, and
Ca and Ni are compared and the isospin dependence of the
projectile fragmentation is studied. It is found that the isospin dependence
decreases and disappears in the central collisions. The shapes of the fragment
isotopic and isotonic cross section distributions are found to be very similar
for symmetric projectile nuclei. The shapes of the fragment isotopic and
isotonic distributions of different asymmetric projectiles produced in
peripheral reactions are found very similar. The similarity of the
distributions are related to the similar proton and neutron density
distributions inside the nucleus in framework of the SAA model.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures; to be published in Phys Rev
Travelling waves for a non-monotone bistable equation with delay: existence and oscillations
We consider a bistable (0\textless{}\theta\textless{}1 being the three
constant steady states) delayed reaction diffusion equation, which serves as a
model in population dynamics. The problem does not admit any comparison
principle. This prevents the use of classical technics and, as a consequence,
it is far from obvious to understand the behaviour of a possible travelling
wave in . Combining refined {\it a priori} estimates and a Leray
Schauder topological degree argument, we construct a travelling wave connecting
0 in to \lq\lq something" which is strictly above the unstable
equilibrium in . Furthemore, we present situations
(additional bound on the nonlinearity or small delay) where the wave converges
to 1 in , whereas the wave is shown to oscillate around 1 in
when, typically, the delay is large
Poly[tetrakis(μ4-4,6-dimethyl-5-nitrobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylato-κ2 O 1:O 1′:O 3:O 3′)bis(pyridine-κN)dizinc]
In the title complex, [Zn2(C10H7NO6)2(C5H5N)2]n, the repeat unit is a centrosymmetic tetra-carboxylato-O,O’-bridged dimer in which each ZnII atom is five-coordinated by four O atoms from different dianionic 4,6-dimethyl-5-nitroisophthalate ligands [Zn—O = 2.0283 (18)–2.0540 (19) Å] and one N atom from a pyridine molecule [Zn—N = 2.030 (2) Å] in the axial site of a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination sphere. The Zn⋯Zn separation is 2.9750 (6) Å. The complex dimers are extended into a two-dimensional polymeric structure parallel to (100) through bridges provided by the second carboxylate group of the ligand
