WARD IDENTITIES IN PHASE SPACE AND THEIR APPLICATIONS LI ZI-PING (李子平) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1994, 3 (7):  481-492.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/3/7/001 Abstract ( 1120 )   PDF (290KB) ( 413 )   Starting from the phase space path integral, we have derived the Ward identities in canonical formalism for a system with regular and singular Lagrangian. This formulation differs from the traditional discussion based on path integral in configuration space. It is pointed out that the quantum canonical equations for systems with singular Lagrangians are different from the classical ones obtained from Dirac's conjecture, The preliminary applications of Ward identities in phase space to the Yang-Mills theory are given. Some relations among the proper vertices and propagators are deduced,the PCAC, AVV vertices and generalized PCAC expressions are also obtained. We have also pointed out that some authors in their early work had ignored the treatment of the constraints.

RAMAN SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF Nd-DOPED LITHIUM TANTALATE WU XING-LONG (吴兴龙), ZHANG MING-SHENG (张明生), CHEN QIANG (陈强), ZOU QUN (邹群), GENG ZHAO-HUA (耿兆华), FENG DUAN (冯端) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1994, 3 (7):  493-500.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/3/7/002 Abstract ( 1500 )   PDF (217KB) ( 428 )   Raman spectra of Nd-doped LiTaO3 have been measured at right angle scattering geome-tries at room temperature. The spectra have drastically anomalous phenomena as compared with those of pure LiTaO3. We may attribute these anomalies to the enhanced photoinduced refractive index change and the change of LiTaO3 microstructure resulting from Nd doping.

MEASUREMENTS OF 129Xe NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN GASEOUS, LIQUID AND SOLID XENON ZHAO MING-XIN (赵明信), WANG SHENG-LIE (汪盛烈), SUN XIAN-PING (孙献平), LI LI-YUN (李丽云), ZENG XI-ZHI (曾锡之) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1994, 3 (7):  501-505.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/3/7/003 Abstract ( 1190 )   PDF (121KB) ( 320 )   Natural xenon, contained in a ceil at a pressure of 6.5 atm, is frozen from 303 to 137 K on an WP-80SY NMR spectrometer. NMR signals of 129Xe atoms in gaseous, liquid and solid phases are measured at various temperatures, We found that the chemical shift of NMR signal of liquid 129Xe (expressed as $\Delta$H) is directly proportional to the density of the sample with a coefficient of (4.73±0.05)×10-7; and the chemical shift of NMR signal of solid 129Xe (expressed as $\Delta$H) is nearly proportional to the density of the sample with a coefficient of (5.00±0.08)×10-7.

A STUDY ON REAL-TIME LOW-FREQUENCY SPATIAL FILTERING PROCESS OF AN OPTICAL IMAGE USING LiNbO3:Fe CRYSTAL LIU SI-MIN (刘思敏), LU YI (陆猗), CHEN HAI-DONG (陈海东), LIU JUN-MIN (刘军民), XU JING-JUN (许京军), ZHANG GUANG-YIN (张光寅), YANG LI-SEN (杨立森), MEN LI-QIU (门丽秋), SUN QIAN (孙骞) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1994, 3 (7):  506-511.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/3/7/004 Abstract ( 1143 )   PDF (203KB) ( 457 )   The optimum image processing result of low-frequency filtering was obtained when LiNbO3:Fe crystal as a spatial filter was placed at a certain position behind the spatial-frequency spectral plane of an optical Fourier transform system, which corresponds to the minimum transmittance ratio in Z-scan curve. The experimental results show that self-defocusing due to photorefractive negative-lens effect is the main factor responsible for the low- frequency filtering.

THE ANNEALING FEATURES OF Ta/Si MULTILAYER FILMS LU JIANG (卢江), ZHOU GUI-EN (周贵恩), ZHANG SHU-YUAN (张庶元), JIA YUN-BO (贾云波), LI FAN-QING (李凡庆), HUANG YUN-LAN (黄允兰), TAN SHUN (谭舜), SHI LEI (石磊), ZHANG YU-HENG (张裕恒) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1994, 3 (7):  512-518.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/3/7/005 Abstract ( 1121 )   PDF (213KB) ( 407 )   The Ta/Si multilayers on (100) Si substrate have been studied over the annealing temper-ature range from 500 to 900℃ by X-ray diffraction and cross-section transmission electron microscopy. The periodicity of the multilayers becomes worse with increasing annealing tem-perature and disappears at 750℃. At 600℃, two kinds of modulation wavelength coexist because the size of several TaSi2 grains is larger than the contracted original modulation wavelength. The films are contracted after annealing. The largest contraction, at least 40nm decreasing in thickness, occurs at 600℃. When the annealing temperature is lower than 600℃, h-TaSi2 grains grow randomly and the growth is not affected by the substrate. At temperatures higher than 750℃, h-TaSi2 grows preferentially in [001] direction parallel to [100] axis of Si substrate. The appearance of texture depends on whether the atomic diffusion is short range or long range at the corresponding annealing temperature.

SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF CARBON NANOTUBES XIE SI-SHEN (解思深), LIU WEI (刘维), ZHANG ZE-BO (张泽渤), WANG GANG (王刚), QIAN SHENG-FA (钱生法), FU CHUN-SHENG (傅春生), LI NAN (李楠), ZHENG YOU-FENG (郑幼凤), LI CHAO-RONG (李超荣) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1994, 3 (7):  519-527.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/3/7/006 Abstract ( 1409 )   PDF (395KB) ( 463 )   The distribution, morphology and structure of carbon nanotubes and buckyonions produced from an arc discharge were investigated by means of scanning electron mi-croscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, The nanotubes and nanoonions were found to be located mainly near the porous region of the core in the deposited rods and the transition region between the growth ring-shaped graphite sheets. The tube bundles grew freely from carbon particles. Apart from the straight-line tubes, curved and bent tubes were also found. Studies on the structure of them showed that the carbon atomic sheets in the nanotubes displayed a stepped bending. Transverse sectional study predicted a helical structure of the carbon atomic sheets. In addition, the relationship between the number of pentagonal rings and cone angle at the tips of the tubes, as well as the mechanism of the formation of the steplike structure, were discussed.

RESPONSE TIME OF PHOTOEMISSION OF ULTRAFINE PARTICLE THIN FILM WU JIN-LEI (吴锦雷), GUO LING-JIAN (郭翎健), WU QUAN-DE (吴全德) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1994, 3 (7):  528-538.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/3/7/007 Abstract ( 1194 )   PDF (268KB) ( 412 )   The response time of photoemissive materials is required for detecting ultrashort duration laser pulses. In this paper, the response time of photoemission in ultrafine particle thin film is studied, and the transit time spread (TTS) and response time of peak value (tM) are discussed. The photoelectron's response time will increase with increasing energy of photons. If the surface potential barrier of thin film declines, the photoemissive sensitivity or quantum yield will rise, however the response time will also increase, which means that response-time characteristic gets worse. As an example, the response time for Ag-O-Cs thin film is calculated for different cases when photoelectrons, excited in Ag ultrafine particles, travel through Cs2O semiconductor layer to the surface and escape into vacuum. The calculated response time is about 50 fs if this thin film is irradiated by infrared rays of wavelength 1.06μm.

INVESTIGATION OF THERMAL DENATURATION OF DNA MOLECULES BASED ON LANGEVIN EQUATION APPROACH YANG HUI-JIE (杨会杰), ZHUO YI-ZHONG (卓益忠), WU XI-ZHEN (吴锡真) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1994, 3 (7):  539-549.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/3/7/008 Abstract ( 991 )   PDF (286KB) ( 305 )   In this paper, by using non-equilibrium transport theory, the thermal denaturation of DNA molecules is investigated as a preliminary step to clarify the dynamical process of DNA transcription, The distribution functions of the displacement of base pairs at different temperatures are calculated. A modified model is also proposed which can reproduce the essential features of the denaturation process, Calculations show that Langevin equation is an effective tool for describing the dynamical process of DNA molecules and it seems to be more advantageous over the Nosé method.
