THE TWO-BOSON SCATTERING PHASE SHIFTS IN THE GENERAL $\phi$6 THEORY WITH THE GAUSSIAN WAVE-FUNCTIONAL APPROACH LU WEN-FA (卢文发), XU BO-WEI (许伯威), ZHANG YU-MEI (章豫梅) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (7):  481-492.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/7/001 Abstract ( 1062 )   PDF (272KB) ( 356 )   The two-particle scattering phase shifts with a $\lambda\phi^4+\xi\phi^6$ interaction are com-puted in (1 + 1) and (2 + 1) dimensions using the Gaussian wave-functional approach.Through numerical analysis, we give the phase-shift curves with respect to the scat-tering energy for most cases of this theory. In (1 + 1) and (2 + 1 ) dimensions, for the symmetry vacuum the phase shifts are positive or negative depending on the signs of the renormalized parameter, while for the asymmetric vacuum the phase shifts are negative.

A NEW EXPERIMENTAL METHOD IN THE STUDY OF IONIC RYDBERG STATES BY RESONANCE IONIZATION MASS SPECTROSCOPY HUANG WEN (黄雯), XU XIANG-YUAN (许祥源) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (7):  493-498.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/7/002 Abstract ( 1112 )   PDF (169KB) ( 346 )   We report a new method for detecting highly excited ions. With a strong constant electric field ionization following the extracting of ions by a pulsed electric field in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, the direct multi-photon ionization background can be eliminated in laser multi-step resonance ionization mass spectroscopy of ionic Rydberg states. A high detection efficiency call be obtained for law members of ionic Rydberg states by use of this method. We have applied the method in the study of the spectroscopy of ionic Rydberg states ia ytterbium.

K-SHELL IONIZATION OF IRON BY ELECTRON BOMBARDMENT HE FU-QING (何福庆), LONG XIAN-GUAN (龙先灌), PENG XIU-FENG (彭秀峰), LUO ZHENG-MING (罗正明), AN ZHU (安竹) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (7):  499-504.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/7/003 Abstract ( 1174 )   PDF (156KB) ( 559 )   K-shell ionization cross sections for Fe by electron impact were measured by detecting the characteristic X-rays emitted from the thin solid film target of known mass thickness with a Si(Li) detector. Reflection correction of the substrate was done using a bipartition model of electron transport. The experimental results are satisfactory as compared with the theoretical calculation and empirical formula.

INFLUENCE OF DRIVING-FIELD PHASE FLUCTUATION ON ABSORPTION AND DISPERSION IN A SIMPLE THREE-LEVEL ATOMIC SYSTEM GONG SHANG-QING (龚尚庆), XU ZHI-ZHAN (徐至展), TENG HUA-GUO (腾华国) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (7):  505-510.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/7/004 Abstract ( 1188 )   PDF (164KB) ( 406 )   The steady-state behavior of a simple three-level atomic system has been investi-gated by taking into account the effect of phase fluctuations in the driving field. For a monochromatic driving field, lasing with or without inversion can be established over a wide frequency range for the probe and driving fields. A large refractive index can also be generated even if the population inversion is positive. For a finite linewidth of the driving field, the refractive index enhancement tends to decrease. Furthermore, a behavior change from inversion laser to noninversion laser can occur as the driving field linewidth increases.

THEORETICAL STUDIES ON LASER-INDUCED GRATINGS IN ORGANIC PHOTOISOMERS SI JIN-HAI (司金海), ZHAO JIANG (赵江), WANG YOU-GUI (王友贵), YE PEI-XIAN (叶佩弦) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (7):  511-519.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/7/005 Abstract ( 1193 )   PDF (301KB) ( 343 )   A theoretical model for formation of light-induced gratings in organic photoisomers is presented. Using this model, dynamic behaviors of the light-induced gratings are studied theoretically for two different cases: in the first case, in addition to a CW loser generating the writing beams and the reading beam, a pulsed laser is used as an optical pump, in the second case, the writing beams are provided by a pulsed laser, and the reading beam comes from a CW laser. Agreement between experiment and theory is also demonstrated.

THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF ELECTRON-NEUTRAL ATOM COLLISION PROCESS AND ELECTRON TRANSPORT PARAMETERS IN DC GLOW DISCHARGE OF PLASMA WITH A TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC FIELD WEI HE-LIN (魏合林), LIU ZU-LI (刘祖黎), LI ZAI-GUANG (李再光), ZHENG QI-GUANG (郑启光) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (7):  520-529.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/7/006 Abstract ( 1203 )   PDF (264KB) ( 454 )   A Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) technique is used to simulate the cathode sheath region of a helium dc glow discharge. In such a simulation, a nonuniform electric field and a transverse uniform magnetic field are considered. When the magnetic field intensity increases from 0 to 800 G, all types of collision considered in this paper are enhanced. This result is in agreement with the experimental result. The results also show that with the increase of magnetic field intensity, the electron transport time, the electron density increase, and the electron mean energy decreases.

MICROSTRUCTURE AND FRACTAL FORMATION OF ANNEALED Ge-Au FILM AND Ge-Au/Au BILAYER FILMS BA LONG (巴龙), ZENG JIAN-LIN (曾建林), ZHANG SHU-YUAN (张庶元), WU ZI-QIN (吴自勤) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (7):  530-537.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/7/007 Abstract ( 1132 )   PDF (393KB) ( 325 )   The as-deposited and annealed Ge-Au film and Ge-Au/Au bilayer films have been observed by transmission electron microscopy. The bilayer with a composition of Ge-5at%Au film is amorphous, while the Ge-22at%Au film is polycrystalline. Higher concentration of Au raises the structural heterogeneity and instability. Fractals can be observed in the Ge-5at%Au/Au bilayer samples annealed at 60-100℃. The difference of the fractal patterns generated from Ge-Au/An and a-Ge/Au films call be attributed to the higher heterogeneity and instability in Ge-Au/An bilayers.

ELECTRICAL TRANSPORT BEHAVIOR OF AN Au DIFFUSE FRINGE FILM PERCOLATION SYSTEM FENG CHUN-MU (冯春木), GE HONG-LIANG (葛洪良), YU GAO-XIANG (叶高翔), ZHANG QI-RUI (张其瑞) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (7):  538-543.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/7/008 Abstract ( 1437 )   PDF (188KB) ( 325 )   The preparation of a metallic diffuse fringe film system by dc-magnetron sputtering is described. The diffuse fringe structure of the film system is clearly observed in the SEM photograph when, during the film deposition process, the distance between the slit shutter and the substrate is large enough. Our experimental results show that the anomalous nonlinear I-V behavior of the system is mainly caused by the diffuse fringe effect. The temperature dependence of the sheet resistance is similar to that of the metallic flat film system in the temperature interval 77-300 K.

CADOGAN, Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (7):  544-551.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/7/009 Abstract ( 1203 )   PDF (217KB) ( 446 )   The novel Gd3(Fe0.978Ti0.022)29 compounds and their nitride have been synthesized. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the Gd3(Fe,Ti)29Ny and its parent compounds were indexed in the Nd3(Fe,Ti)29-type structure with a monoclinic symmetry and space group P21/c, Both the nitride and the parent compounds exhibit ferrimagnetlc coupling. Nitrogenatio led to an increase in Curie temperature and saturation magnetization. The Curie temperatures are 517K for the parent and 765K for the nitride. The saturation magnetizations $\sigma$s at 4.2K are 101.9A·m2/kg for the parent and 128A·m2/kg for the nitride. Both the nitride and parent exhibit a planar anisotropy. Nitrogenation led to a decrease of the contribution of Fe-sublattice to planar anisotropy. The anisotropy fields at 4.2K are 9.8T for the parent and 6.5 T for the nitride.
