TOPOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION OF 3D AND 2D SPIN STATES IN THE FERROMAGNETS CONTAINING ANNULUS- AND CYLINDER-TYPE CAVITIES GAO TING (高亭), YAN FENG-LI (阎凤利), LI BO-ZANG (李伯臧) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (8):  561-567.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/8/001 Abstract ( 1170 )   PDF (198KB) ( 371 )   Methods of algebraic topology have been employed to classify ordinary (3D) and planar (2D) spin states in the ferromagnets containing annulus- and cylinder-type cavities. The main result of this paper is that the sets of homotopy classes of 3D and 2D spin states in a ferromagnet containing m non-winding up annulus-type cavities threaded by k cylinder-type cavities can be constructed into groups isomorphic to Zm and Zm+k, respectively. Here m,k = 0, 1, 2,…,Zl denotes the l-dimensional discrete vector group.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON INTERMITTENT PHENOMENA IN A PLASMA MA LIAN-XI (马连喜), SUN HONG-YAN (孙红岩), WANG LONG (王龙) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (8):  568-578.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/8/002 Abstract ( 1130 )   PDF (250KB) ( 406 )   An intermittent process occurring in a low-temperature plasma discharge has been investigated. During a continuous scan of the discharge voltage, one kind of intermittency evolves from random upward bursts to a periodic oscillation, while the other evolves to chaos from random downward bursts. A critical exponent concerning the onset of the latter intermittency is quantitatively determined to be $\gamma$ = 0.912.

STUDY OF Mg 3sns AND Sr 5sns RYDBERG STATES DAI CHANG-JIAN (戴长建) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (8):  579-589.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/8/003 Abstract ( 1150 )   PDF (271KB) ( 322 )   Energy levels of the Mg 3sns and Sr 5sns Rydberg states have been studied using multichannel quantum defect theory. The wavefunctions derived from the energy levels are utilized to calculate natural radiative lifetimes of the Rydberg states with n≤15. The present work is compared with the previous experiments and theoretical results, the agreement is satisfactory.

INTERFACE FORMATION OF Ge/ZnSe(100) AND Ge/ZnS(111) HETEROJUNCTIONS STUDIED BY SYNCHROTRON RADIATION PHOTOEMISSION BAN DA-YAN (班大雁), YANG FENG-YUAN (杨风源), FANG RONG-CHUAN (方容川), XU SHI-HONG (徐世宏), XU PENG-SHOU (徐鹏寿) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (8):  590-600.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/8/004 Abstract ( 1210 )   PDF (321KB) ( 376 )   The microscopic evolution of interface formation between Ge and Ⅱ-Ⅵ compounds such as ZnSe and ZnS single crystals has been studied by synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy and low energy electron diffraction. Core level intensity measurements from the substrate as well as from the overlayer show a nearly ideal two-dimensional growth mode for the deposition of Ge on ZnSe(100) surface. How-ever, there is a certain deviation from the ideal two-dimensional mode in the case of Ge/ZnS(111) due to the diffusion of substrate atoms into Ge overlayer. Surface semi-tire core level spectra indicate that the reaction of Ge with S atoms at Ge/ZnS(111) interfaces is much stronger than that of Ge with Se atoms at Ge/ZnSe(100) interfaces.

COHERENT OPTICAL PHONON EXCITATION BY FEMTOSECOND LASER PULSE IN YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$ THIN FILMS PI FEI-PENG (皮飞鹏), LIN WEI-ZHU (林位株), MO DANG (莫党) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (8):  601-608.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/8/005 Abstract ( 1228 )   PDF (256KB) ( 349 )   With a correlation of nonequilibrium carriers relaxation and coherent phonons displacive excitation, the coherent optical phonon oscillations in YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$ thin films excited by femtosecond laser pulse are simulated theoretically. It is revealed that as the oxygen concentration decreases, the coherent phonon oscillations become easier to be observed due to the decrease of the local coupling between the carriers and the lattice vibrations in the CuO2 plane.

FORMATION AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF Dy2Fe17-xMnxC(x = 0-17) PREPARED BY ARC-MELTING WANG FANG-WEI (王芳卫), ZHANG PAN-LIN (张泮霖), SHEN BAO-GEN (沈保根), YAN QI-WEI (严启伟) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (8):  609-613.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/8/006 Abstract ( 1302 )   PDF (164KB) ( 370 )   We report on alloys formed by replacing iron with manganese in the compound Dy2Fe17C1.0 Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and magnetic measure-ments, The 2:17-type structure can be crystallized in the whole range of manganese substitution. The Curie temperature of the series of Dy2Fe17-xMnxC1.0(x= 0-17) drops down considerably from 515K for x = 0 to about 20K for compounds with high manganese concentration, and the compensation point was observed in a narrow range of x≈4-6. The rapid decrease of the magnetization shows that the manganese substitution is not a simple magnetic dilution to the transition-metal sublattice mo-ment, it indicates that the moment of Mn may be antiparallel to that of Fe. The field dependence of the magnetization of Dy2Fe17-xMnxC1.0 may indicate the existence of the nonlinear magnetic structure for the samples with high Mn conoentrations.

INFLUENCE OF IN-PLANE FIELD ON THE STABILITY OF VERTICAL BLOCH LINE CHAINS IN HARD DOMAINS OF GARNET BUBBLE FILMS HAN BAO-SHAN (韩宝善), MENG GUANG-QING (孟广庆), NIE XIANG-FU (聂向富), TANG GUI-DE (唐贵德), SUN HUI-YUAN (孙会元), GUO GE-XIN (郭革新) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (8):  614-619.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/8/007 Abstract ( 1191 )   PDF (181KB) ( 352 )   The stability of vertical Bloch line (VBL) chains was statistically studied for all three types of bard domains in garnet bubble films subjected to an in-plane field Hip. With a set of integrate data taken from seven bubble samples and with two typical figures of a sample, four main features of the behavior of VBL chains subjected to Hip were summarized.

A NON-ADIABATIC MODEL OF SINGLE BUBBLE SONOLUMINESCENCE CHEN WEI-ZHONG (陈伟中), WEI RONG-JUE (魏荣爵), WANG BEN-REN (王本仁) Acta Physica Sinica (Overseas Edition), 1996, 5 (8):  620-629.  DOI: 10.1088/1004-423X/5/8/008 Abstract ( 1177 )   PDF (276KB) ( 422 )   A non-adiabatic model of single bubble sonoluminescence has been advanced through considering the energy dissipation caused by light emission. The bubble dynamical equations with a black-body radiation have been solved numerically. The results show that without introduciag any model parameter, this model not only can well reproduce the experimental phenomena in the time scale of microsecond of the adiabatic model can do, but also can obtain a 40-100 ps of flash duration and a 104 K effective temperature of the black-body radiation. These agree with the experiment quite well.
