- Since the origin of surface science noble metal{plus 45 degree rule}elemental semiconductor couples have been considered as "prototypical" systems. After three decades of research their structural and electronic properties remain an intriguing maze despite recent advances made, especially thanks to the development of the near-field microscopies and the extensive use of synchrotron radiation in surface crystallography and in high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy. In the last few years, lead, as a replacement inert metal, has nearly gained the pole position in the display of exotic behaviour. This paper gives a flavour of this mystery story and highlights some puzzling questions. © 1994.

IN-BEAM SPECTROSCOPY OF TE-110
- 1994
-
In: Nuclear Physics A. - 0375-9474 .- 1873-1554. ; 577:3-4, s. 773-785
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The neutron-deficient nucleus Te-110 has been investigated by in-beam spectroscopic methods using the NORDBALL multi-detector array. Except for the energy of one level observed in alpha-decay, excited states in Te-110 were previously unknown. The level scheme constructed from gamma gamma-coincidence relationships is presented with tentative spin assignments up to I-pi = 21(-). Above spin 8(+) the yrast states have negative parity. They are most likely the members of a band predominantly based on the nu(h(11/2)g(7/2)) two-quasiparticle configuration. A band crossing is observed at I-pi approximate to 17(-). It is suggested to be caused by the alignment of two h(11/2) neutrons. The cranked shell model correctly predicts the spin alignment, but fails to reproduce the observed band crossing frequency, possibly because of octupole effects.

HIGH-SPIN STUDIES NEAR SN-100 WITH NORDBALL - NEW RESULTS ON IN-102, IN-104 AND SB-108
- 1993
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The NORDBALL detector array has been used in a gamma-ray spectroscopic study of neutron deficient nuclei close to 100Sn. A beam of 270 MeV 58Ni ions was used to bombard a target of Fe-54. Reaction channel separation was achieved with a 4pi charged particle Si-ball together with a 1pi neutron detector wall. Altogether 29 final nuclei were identified and excited states were observed for the first time in 8 of them. The weakest identified channel was 100Cd which represented 4.10(-3) % of the observed total yield. Level schemes Of 102In, 104In and 108Sb constructed from gamma-gamma-particle-coincidence and gamma-gamma-angular correlation analyses are presented. The observed structures are discussed in the framework of the nuclear shell-model. In 108Sb also a deformed, strongly coupled, level sequence is observed. This deformed structure is interpreted as built on a pig9/2(-1)xnuh11/2 configuration in agreement with TRS calculations.

EXCITED-STATES OF I-111 AND THE OBSERVATION OF A 21-NS ISOMER

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Proton rich nuclei close to Sn-100 have been investigated an-beam using the NORDBALL detector array. A beam of 270 MeV Ni-58 was used to bombard a Fe-54 target. Reaction channel separation was achieved with a 4 pi charged particle multi-detector set-up together with a 1 pi neutron detector wall placed in the forward direction. Gamma-ray transitions belonging do the I-111 nucleus were identified for the first time. A level scheme constructed from gamma-gamma-perticle-coincidence analysis is proposed. The level structure is discussed within the framework of the shell model and the systematics of the heavier odd iodine nuclei.

COMPETING PROTON AND NEUTRON ALIGNMENTS IN NEUTRON-DEFICIENT XE-NUCLEI
- 1994
-
In: Nuclear Physics A. - 0375-9474 .- 1873-1554. ; 572:2, s. 417-458
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High-spin structures of the neutron-deficient Xe-117, Xe-118, Xe-120 isotopes have been studied by in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopic techniques. The final nuclei have been identified by means of charged-particle detectors. Collective rotational bands based on the neutron d5/2, 97/2 and h11/2 configurations have been identified in Xe-117. In the even Xe-118 and Xe-120 nuclei several new side bands were observed and the previously known bands were extended. The present level schemes include two positive-parity bands constructed to high spin in Xe-118, whereas in Xe-120 three such bands were observed. In order to explain these bands, both proton and neutron (h11/2)2 alignments, as well as the shape degree of freedom, have to be invoked. The possible occurrence of a gammaS-band is addressed and a pronounced structural change for more heavy Xe-isotopes is discussed. All negative-parity side bands are interpreted in terms of proton two-quasiparticle excitations. The experimental data are compared with total routhian surface calculations.

Mitotic activity and survival in advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of unfavourable histology
- 1990
-
In: European Journal of Cancer and Clinical Oncology. - 0277-5379. ; 26:3, s. 227-230
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The number of mitoses per high power field (mitotic index, MI) was assessed in 2 νm sections of lymph node biopsies from 58 adults with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. All had diffuse nodal lymphomas of unfavourable histology and stage II-IV disease. The patients were treated with chemotherapy and followed for a minimum of 3 years or until death. None out of 29 patients with a MI ≥ 3.0 survived for 3 years after diagnosis whereas 13 out of 29 other patients with MI <3.0 became long-term survivors (P = 0.00002). Differences in age, sex or clinical stage between short- and long-term survivors were negligible. The initial chemotherapy regimens were not more intense for the long-term survivors. Twenty-nine patients were given an equivalent initial treatment with CHOP or CHOP plus methotrexate. The association between MIs and survival was evident also in this subgroup. The results indicate that survival is extremely poor for patients with advanced diffuse nodal lymphomas of unfavourable histology and a high mitotic count. It seems especially important to evaluate alternative chemotherapy regimens, suggested to be more effective than current programmes, in this subset of patients.

IDENTIFICATION AND SPECTROSCOPY OF THE TE-108 NUCLEUS
- 1994
-
In: Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei. - 0939-7922 .- 1431-5831. ; 350:1, s. 3-4
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Excited states of Te-108 were populated in the Fe-54 + Ni-58 (270 MeV) reaction using the NORDBALL detector array equipped with charged-particle and neutron detector systems for reaction channel separation. Gamma rays belonging to the neutron deficient nucleus Te-108 were identified for the first time. On the basis of gammagamma-coincidence and angular correlation relations a level scheme was constructed with tentative spin and parity assignments. The structure of the nucleus is discussed in the framework of systematics of heavier Te nuclei.

EVIDENCE FOR NEW ISOMERS AND BAND STRUCTURES IN RB-80
- 1992
-
In: Physical Review C. Nuclear Physics. - 0556-2813 .- 1089-490X. ; 46:6, s. R2127-R2131
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Excited states in the doubly odd nucleus Rb-80 have mainly been studied via the Zn-68(F-19,alpha3n) reaction at 72 MeV beam energy utilizing the NORDBALL detector system. The level scheme has been extended up to a (15+) state at 4446 keV excitation energy. In the low-spin region seven new isomers with lifetimes in the nanosecond region have been found. In addition, a 6+ isomer with a half-life of the order of mus has been identified at an excitation energy of 494.4 keV. For the level sequence built on this isomer positive parity is suggested and the states are ascribed to the intruder two-quasiparticle configuration (pig9/2 x nug9/2) and collective excitations.
