Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A high-spin rotational cascade of six gamma rays has been observed in Zn-62. The quadrupole moment of 2.7(-0.5)(+0.7) e b measured for this band corresponds to a deformation beta(2) = 0.45(-0.07)(+0.10). The properties of this band are in excellent agreement with calculations that predict high-spin superdeformed bands in Zn-62 with deformations beta(2) = 0.41-0.49. These results establish a new region of superdeformation for nuclei with neutron and proton numbers N, Z approximate to 30-32.

Smooth Termination of Rotational Bands in 62Zn: Evidence for a Loss of Collectivity
- 1998
-
Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114. ; 80:12, s. 2558-2561

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two sets of strongly coupled rotational bands have been identified in Zn-62. These bands have been observed up to the terminating states of their respective configurations. Lifetime measurements indicate that the transition quadrupole moments in these bands decrease as termination is approached. These results establish the first terminating states of rotational bands in the A similar to 60 mass region and confirm the predicted loss of collectivity associated with smooth band termination.

Redox properties of titanium oxides on Pt3Ti

Ingår i: Journal of Physical Chemistry. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 0022-3654 .- 1541-5740. ; 99:34, s. 12892-12895

- The morphology and electronic structure of surface-segregated titanium oxides on Pt3Ti(111) are presented. Core level photoemission spectra at grazing emission reveal two states of oxidation: a dominant and reducible four-valent oxide together with a small amount of a three-valent oxide is produced by oxidation in 0 2 at and below 400°C; an irreducible three-valent oxide by oxidation in 02 at and above 450 °C. The ratio between the active four-valent and the inactive three-valent oxides decreases with increasing oxidation temperature. The probability for reduction by CO is almost unity for the Ti 4+ oxide, and the conclusion must be that the four-valent oxide plays an active role for catalytic reactions. Scanning tunneling measurements relate these observations to changes in the dispersion and nucleation of the oxide overlayer. The four-valent oxide grows as islands with remaining areas open for CO adsorption while the three-valent oxide spreads on and blocks the crystal surface. Photoemission spectra relate these dispersion effects to an electronic interaction between the Ti 3+ oxide and adjacent Pt atoms. The above observations are in accordance with the common picture of dispersion effects in titania-supported SMSI catalysts and prove that interfacial energies play a crucial role whether the dominant phase is metallic or an oxide.

Decay Out of the Doubly Magic Superdeformed Band in the N=Z Nucleus 60Zn
- 1999
-
Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 1079-7114. ; 82:17, s. 3400-3403
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The doubly magic superdeformed band in the N = Z nucleus Zn-60 has been identified. Linking transitions connecting this band to the yrast line provide the first spin, parity, and excitation energy measurements for superdeformed states in the A similar to 60 region. The stretched-E2 character and relatively large B(E2) values of these transitions suggest a nonstatistical decay-out process.
