- The DO experiment enjoyed a very successful data-collection run at the Fermilab Tevatron collider between 1992 and 1996. Since then, the detector has been upgraded to take advantage of improvements to the Tevatron and to enhance its physics capabilities. We describe the new elements of the detector, including the silicon microstrip tracker, central fiber tracker, solenoidal magnet, preshower detectors, forward muon detector, and forward proton detector. The uranium/liquid -argon calorimeters and central muon detector, remaining from Run 1, are discussed briefly. We also present the associated electronics, triggering, and data acquisition systems, along with the design and implementation of software specific to DO.

- The effect of the final state Coulomb interaction on particles produced in Pb + Pb collisions at 158AGeV/c has been investigated in the WA98 experiment through the study of the pi(-)/pi(+) and K-/K+ ratios measured as a function of T-m- (m)0. While the ratio for kaons shows no significant T-m dependence, the pi(-)/pi(+) ratio is enhanced at small T-m - (m)0 values with an enhancement that increases with centrality. A silicon pad detector located near the target is used to estimate the contribution of hyperon decays to the pi(-)/pi(+) ratio. The comparison of results with predictions of the RQMD model in which the Coulomb interaction has been incorporated allows to place constraints on the time of the pion freeze-out.

Above room-temperature ferromagnetism in GaN powders by calcinations with CuO

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Gallium nitride powders were calcined with copper oxide in either air or N2 and analyzed by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution parallel illumination (HRTEM) and scanning probe transmission electron microscopy (STEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in order to address the structural and electronic effects of Cu-incorporation into GaN. Gallium oxide and multiple copper oxide phases corresponding to the calcination environment were detected. Significant changes in the lattice parameters and electronic structure of the N2-processed GaN indicate incorporation of both copper and oxygen into the GaN lattice as well as changes in the chemical bonding due to the calcinations process. SQUID magnetometer measurements at 300 K demonstrated ferromagnetism in selected samples.

Bonding of metal-free phthalocyanine to TiO2(110) single crystal

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The metal-free phthalocyanine interface formation on rutile TiO2(110) is investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy. The molecules are adsorbed flat on the surface, centered on the substrate oxygen rows. High-resolution core-level C1s spectroscopy indicates a strong difference between the second layer and the first monolayer bonding to the surface. The C1s core-level from the second layer has a bulk-like line shape whereas the first layer shows a strongly modified line profile. Upon thermal treatment, changes in the N1s core level line profile points to dehydrogenation of the center of the molecule.

Self-ordering of metal-free phthalocyanine on InAs(100) and InSb(100)

- The adsorption and surface ordering of metal-free phthalocyanine (H2PC) on InAs(100)(4 x 2)/c(8 x 2) and InSb(100) c(8 x 2) is investigated using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and synchrotron based photoelectron spectroscopy. The two systems show structural similarities; at submonolayer coverage the preferred adsorption site of H2PC is on top of the In rows, and above 1 monolayer and after thermal treatment the first molecular layer is ordered in a densely packed 'x3' structure observed with both low energy electron diffraction and STM. The electronic properties and the surface bonds of the two systems are quite different: the InAs-H2PC interface is semiconducting after room temperature adsorption but becomes metallic upon thermal treatment whereas InSb(100) H2PC is semiconducting at all preparations. These differences are reflected in pronounced differences in the C 1s line shape between the two systems. N 1s core level spectra from both surfaces reveal deprotonation of the molecules, i.e. the central hydrogen atoms are lost upon thermal treatment.

Triaxiality at high spins in Nd nuclei
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Physica Scripta. - 0031-8949. ; T125, s. 212-213

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The level structure of Nd-140(80) has been established up to spin 48 by in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy using the Zr-96(Ca-48, 4n) reaction. High-fold gamma-ray coincidences were measured with the EUROBALL spectrometer. Twelve new rotational bands have been discovered at high spins, showing the change from a spherical single-particle behaviour at low spins to a deformed regime with stable triaxiality at high spins. Possible configurations are assigned to the observed bands on the basis of configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations.
