Extended calculations of energy levels, radiative properties, AJA_{J}, BJB_{J} hyperfine interaction constants, and Land\'e gJg_{J}-factors for nitrogen-like \mbox{Ge XXVI}

Employing two state-of-the-art methods, multiconfiguration Dirac--Hartree--Fock and second-order many-body perturbation theory, highly accurate calculations are performed for the lowest 272 fine-structure levels arising from the $2s^{2} 2p^{3}$, $2s 2p^{4}$, $2p^{5}$, $2s^{2} 2p^{2} 3l$~($l=s,p,d$), $2s 2p^{3}3l$ ($l=s,p,d$), and $2p^{4} 3l$ ($l=s,p,d$) configurations in nitrogen-like Ge XXVI. Complete and consistent atomic data, including excitation energies, lifetimes, wavelengths, hyperfine structures, Land\'e $g_{J}$-factors, and E1, E2, M1, M2 line strengths, oscillator strengths, and transition rates among these 272 levels are provided. Comparisons are made between the present two data sets, as well as with other available experimental and theoretical values. The present data are accurate enough for identification and deblending of emission lines involving the $n=3$ levels, and are also useful for modeling and diagnosing fusion plasmas

S, P, D, F wave KN phase shifts in the chiral SU(3) quark model

The $S$, $P$, $D$, $F$ wave $KN$ phase shifts have been studied in the chiral SU(3) quark model by solving a resonating group method equation. The numerical results of different partial waves are in agreement with the experimental data except for the cases of $P_{13}$ and $D_{15}$, which are less well described when the laboratory momentum of the kaon meson is greater than 400 MeV.Comment: Prepared for 10th International Symposium on Meson-Nucleon Physics and the Structure of the Nucleon (MENU 2004), Beijing, China, 29 Aug - 4 Sep 200

Influence of s,p-d and s-p exchange couplings on exciton splitting in (Zn,Mn)O

This work presents results of near-band gap magnetooptical studies on (Zn,Mn)O epitaxial layers. We observe excitonic transitions in reflectivity and photoluminescence, that shift towards higher energies when the Mn concentration increases and split nonlinearly under the magnetic field. Excitonic shifts are determined by the s,p-d exchange coupling to magnetic ions, by the electron-hole s-p exchange, and the spin-orbit interactions. A quantitative description of the magnetoreflectivity findings indicates that the free excitons A and B are associated with the Gamma_7 and Gamma_9 valence bands, respectively, the order reversed as compared to wurtzite GaN. Furthermore, our results show that the magnitude of the giant exciton splittings, specific to dilute magnetic semiconductors, is unusual: the magnetoreflectivity data is described by an effective exchange energy N_0(beta-alpha)=+0.2+/-0.1 eV, what points to small and positive N_0 beta. It is shown that both the increase of the gap with x and the small positive value of the exchange energy N_0 beta corroborate recent theory describing the exchange splitting of the valence band in a non-perturbative way, suitable for the case of a strong p-d hybridization.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure

SU(5) Symmetry of spdfg Interacting Boson Model

The extended interacting boson model with s-, p-, d-, f- and g-bosons being included (spdfg IBM) are investigated. The algebraic structure including the generators, the Casimir operators of the groups at the SU(5) dynamical symmetry and the branching rules of the irreducible representation reductions along the group chain are obtained. The typical energy spectrum of the Symmetry is given.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure

Multipole (E1, M1, E2, M2) transition wavelengths and rates between states with n<= 6 in heliumlike carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, silicon, and argon

Transition wavelengths and rates are given for E1, E2, M1, and M2 transitions between singlet and triplet S, P, D, and F states in heliumlike ions of astrophysical interest: carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, silicon, and argon. All possible transitions between states with n <= 6 are considered. Wave functions and energies are calculated using the relativistic configuration-interaction (CI) method including both Coulomb and Breit interactions. For transitions to the ground state, the present theoretical wavelengths agree to five digits with precise measurements.Comment: 8 pages of text 97 pages of tables submitted to Atomic & Data Nuclear Datable

Excitonic giant Zeeman effect in GaN:Mn^3+

We describe a direct observation of the excitonic giant Zeeman splitting in (Ga,Mn)N, a wide-gap III-V diluted magnetic semiconductor. Reflectivity and absorption spectra measured at low temperatures display the A and B excitons, with a shift under magnetic field due to s,p-d exchange interactions. Using an excitonic model, we determine the difference of exchange integrals between Mn^3+ and free carriers in GaN, N_0(alpha-beta)=-1.2 +/- 0.2 eV. Assuming a reasonable value of alpha, this implies a positive sign of beta which corresponds to a rarely observed ferromagnetic interaction between the magnetic ions and the holes.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
