Correlated EoM and Distributions for A=6 Nuclei
Energy spectra and electromagnetic transitions of nuclei are strongly
depending from the correlations of the bound nucleons. Two particle
correlations are responsible for the scattering of model particles either to
low momentum- or to high momentum-states. The low momentum states form the
model space while the high momentum states are used to calculate the G-matrix.
The three and higher order particle correlations do not play a role in the
latter calculation especially if the correlations induced by the scattering
operator are of sufficient short range. They modify however, via the long tail
of the nuclear potential, the Slater determinant of the A particles by
generating excited Slater's determinants. In this work the influence of the
correlations on the level structure and ground state distributions of even open
shell nuclei is analyzed via the boson dynamic correlation model BDCM. The
model is based on the unitary operator ({\it S} is the correlation
operator) formalism which in this paper is presented within a non perturbative
approximation. The low lying spectrum calculated for Li reproduce very well
the experimental spectrum while for He a charge radius slightly larger than
that obtained within the isotopic-shift (IS) theory has been calculated. Good
agreement between theoretical and experimental results has been obtained
without the introduction of a genuine three body force.Comment: 25 pages 4 figures. To be published in the Progress Theoretical

Extended Cluster Model for Light, and Medium Nuclei
The structures, the electromagnetic transitions, and the beta decay strengths
of exotic nuclei are investigated within an extended cluster model. We start by
deriving an effective nuclear Hamiltonian within the correlation
operator. Tensor forces are introduced in a perturbative expansion which
includes up to the second order terms. Within this Hamiltonian we calculate the
distributions and the radii of A=3,~4 nuclei. For exotic nuclei characterized
by n valence protons/neutrons we excite the structure of the closed shell
nuclei via mixed modes formed by considering correlations operators of higher
order. Good results have been obtained for the calculated transitions and for
the beta decay transition probabilities.Comment: 8-pages, 5-figure
Multipartite W states for chains of atoms conveyed through an optical cavity
We propose and work out a scheme to generate the entangled W states for a
chain of N four-level atoms which are transported through an optical cavity by
means of an optical lattice. This scheme is based on the combined laser-cavity
mediated interaction between distant and equally separated atoms and works in a
completely deterministic way for qubits encoded by two hyperfine levels of the
atoms. Only two parameters, namely the distance between the atoms and the
velocity of the chain, determine the effective interaction among the atoms and,
therefore, the degree of entanglement that is obtained for the overall chain of
N qubits. In particular, we work out the parameter regions for which the W
states are generated most reliably for chains of N = 2,3,4 and 5 atoms. In
addition, we analyze the sensitivity in the formation of entanglement for such
chains of qubits due to uncertainties produced by the oscillations of atoms in
optical lattices.Comment: 12 pages, revised version accepted in PR
Quantitative determination of the local structure of thymine on Cu(1 1 0) using scanned-energy mode photoelectron diffraction
The local adsorption structures of the surface species formed by interaction of thymine with a Cu(1 1 0) surface at room temperature, and after heating to not, vert, similar530 K, have been investigated. Initial characterisation by soft-X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and O K-edge near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) indicates the effect of sequential dehydrogenation of the NH species and provides information on the molecular orientation. O 1s and N 1s scanned-energy mode photoelectron diffraction shows the species at both temperatures bond to the surface through both carbonyl O atoms and the deprotonated N atom between them, each bonding atom adopting near-atop sites on the outermost Cu surface layer. The associated bondlengths are 1.96 ± 0.03 Å for Cu–N and 1.91 ± 0.03 Å and 2.03 ± 0.03 Å for the two inequivalent Cu--O bonds. The molecular plane lies almost exactly in the close-packed View the MathML source azimuth, but with a tilt relative to the surface normal of approximately 20°. Heating to not, vert, similar530 K, or deposition at this temperature, appears to lead to dehydrogenation of the second N atom in the ring, but no significant change in the adsorption geometry
Lorentz TEM imaging of stripe structures embedded in a soft magnetic matrix
N\'eel walls in soft magnetic NiFe/NiFeGa hybrid stripe structures surrounded
by a NiFe film are investigated by high resolution Lorentz transmission
electron microscopic imaging. An anti-parallel orientation of magnetization in
1000 nm wide neighboring unirradiated-irradiated stripes is observed by forming
high angle domain walls during magnetization reversal. Upon downscaling the
stripe structure size from 1000 nm to 200 nm a transition from a discrete
domain pattern to an effective magnetic medium is observed for external
magnetic field reversal. This transition is associated with vanishing ability
of hosting high angle domain walls between adjacent stripes. The investigation
also demonstrated the potentiality of Lorentz microscopy to image periodic
stripe structures well under micron length-scale.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
Electron-ion recombination of Si IV forming Si III: Storage-ring measurement and multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculations
The electron-ion recombination rate coefficient for Si IV forming Si III was
measured at the heavy-ion storage-ring TSR. The experimental electron-ion
collision energy range of 0-186 eV encompassed the 2p(6) nl n'l' dielectronic
recombination (DR) resonances associated with 3s to nl core excitations, 2s
2p(6) 3s nl n'l' resonances associated with 2s to nl (n=3,4) core excitations,
and 2p(5) 3s nl n'l' resonances associated with 2p to nl (n=3,...,infinity)
core excitations. The experimental DR results are compared with theoretical
calculations using the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method for DR via
the 3s to 3p n'l' and 3s to 3d n'l' (both n'=3,...,6) and 2p(5) 3s 3l n'l'
(n'=3,4) capture channels. Finally, the experimental and theoretical plasma DR
rate coefficients for Si IV forming Si III are derived and compared with
previously available results.Comment: 13 pages, 9 figures, 3 tables. Accepted for publication in Physical
